The target opening date for the latest Recovery Sports Bar & Grill is mid-August in Troy, but the Albany-based group isn't wasting time until then.

Ground is about to be broken on restaurants in both Amsterdam (Montgomery County) and in New Jersey, according to a unit manager I spoke with, and another restaurant just opened June 1 opposite the Turning Stone Casino in Central New York.

The hoped-for mid-August event depends on when the new Hilton Garden Inn opens on Hoosick Street (Route 7) in Troy.

BBL Construction Services, which is the corporate parent of the restaurant group, already has Recoverys in Albany and Norfolk, VA.

The Albany entity is called the Recovery Room Sports Bar & Grill, a nod to its New Scotland Avenue location opposite the Albany Medical Center.The Virginia unit is located in SpringHill Suites, a Marriott hotel, on the campus of Old Dominion University.

The menu, which includes the usual sports pub finger foods, also ranges up to steak, ribs, chicken, pasta and seafood entrees. A typical Recovery restaurant also offers a sports memorabilia collection and games.
