Score
The health department has logged six inspections at Sandtrap Lounge & Club, the earliest from 2024. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 7, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around nine violations, down from roughly 12 violations earlier in the record.
“Nonfood-contact surfaces clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing eight times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Albany restaurant, which scores around 86. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
