Locals know this building as the old site of the Gaslight Lounge. In 2009 it was sold and the Starting Gate Bar & Grill opened. When it closed in 2013, it stayed vacant for a period of time before becoming an Irish sports-themed bar called Paddy Duggan's Irish Pub. It was open for a short time and then also moved out.

Paddy Duggan's moved out in 2015 and no other business has moved in. Now Chipotle is interested in the location.

According to the Albany Business Review, the plans state that they will demolish the twenty-seven hundred square foot business on the one-third acre. This will make way for a two thousand three hundred forty-three-square-foot Chipotle Mexican Restaurant complete with a patio.
