SCHENECTADY - There’s a new live-music venue in Schenectady that’s creating quite the buzz.
The Electric Grinch, taking its name from a popular bar in Schenectady during the 1970s and ‘80s, aims to blend the charm of the past with contemporary aesthetics. Owned by Mitchell Ramsey, who also runs the Jay St. Pub, the venue breathes new life into the local scene.
The Electric Grinch officially opened Nov. 16, but it was the grand opening on Dec. 22 that marked its true inauguration, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during the day followed by performances from national recording artist David J from Rotterdam, along with Vinny Michaels. The following night, The E-Block, one of the Capital Region’s most promising young bands, graced the stage.
Ramsey, the visionary behind the Electric Grinch, shared in an interview with Nippertown, “I wanted to create something that doesn’t already exist here in Schenectady – a craft cocktail bar featuring live music.”
