Rooftop deck at City Beer Hall? Huh? Nothing about this on their website and it would be a lot of stairs to get there...

The patio is right off the main floor of CBH, not on the top portion of the roof. We were lucky enough to have AOA's 4th birthday party there last year. Here are a few photos from that event to give you a sense of the place. http://alloveralbany.com/archive/2012/03/26/photos-from-aoa4
