“ This is my favorite downtown bar because even when it’s busy (most weekends) you don’t feel suffocated with crowds or wait long for drinks. Lots of games to choose from and it’s easy to have conversations with people. ”
“ Absolutely love the vibe of this place the lighting is so cozy and it's warm, perfect to get away from the cold for a drink. They have lots of Couches and places to sit it was so comfortable and romantic to lounge with my husband on their Couches right by the window. They have an amazing alcohol selection and the bartenders are very friendly. They made me a killer long Island ice tea and a Malibu bay breeze. Prices aren't bad either! They have pool and darts as well. Definitely one of my favorite lounges in the area ”
“ Dropped in while in Syracuse and thoroughly enjoyed this place. Great selections, friendly staff, will be back... ”
“ Either to just sit and enjoy a drink or to play any of the games they offer, I’ve had a great time here! ”
“ Large selection of whiskey, Scotch, and many other spirits. There are a couple dart boards and a pool table. Lots of areas for lounging and enjoying cocktails. ”
“ This place is insane. 500 to 1000 bottles. You can't miss here bartender so educated on all the liquor they have down town Syracuse the place to be. Bars,night clubs just awesome go if you can. ”
“ My husband and I went here on my birthday because I wanted to try absinthe for the first time (a bucket list item for me). I loved the very relaxed and comfy vibe of the place, which suits my style. I loved that they had multiple brands of absinthe to choose from, including the brand I wanted. The bartender was skilled in terms of preparation and also filled in some of the gaps in my theoretical knowledge when I asked. (I appreciated that he didn't condescend or mansplain.) The drink was delicious and I enjoyed it. (My husband was just there to support my birthday wish and was nursing a diet Coke, but he did try a sip of my drink and liked it, too.) I was also pleasantly surprised by the price. I'd been prepared to pay more, based on... every other drink I've ever ordered anywhere. All in all, it was a perfect, laid-back, but fun birthday experience. As an introvert who mostly likes quiet (until I'm in the mood to rock out), I chose a Monday night specifically hoping to avoid a noisy crowd, and there were a bunch of other folks there, but there was plenty of personal space and I could carry on a conversation with my husband and the bartender without shouting. ”
“ Loved this place! The atmosphere and vibe are fantastic, the limitless options of every liquor and wine even Arak which is a Lebanese liquor not often available at most bars! I enjoyed pool, darts and the pinball machines while sipping on whiskey . I would say this is the perfect stop for a relaxing week night or a very busy weekend if you’re ready to mingle! ”
