    belly burger extra yummy
    Andy C.

    The place is very large with TV screens all over. Miranda provided very good service. This now made it into my Top 5 (almost Top 3) for lunch places in the Utica area. Now for the food - WOW, WOW, WOW Folks hate to say it but I was overwhelmed - Belly Burger $13 - 8 oz beef / bacon / change for me to pepper jack / onion rings / heirloom tomato / Kook's special sauce and their French Fries - to die for. The only thing, the burger came out rare ordered medium however, I now go by taste and not how the food was cooked (but as a heads up to those that do go by color) and it tasted fantastic - cooked shall we say perfectly. Sliders & Tots $12. BRISKET: caramelized onions / sautéed peppers / Kook's special sauce and was enjoyed by a member of our party. Tots - oh, oh so very good no great. Note to management - I know offer & Mixed version - as your side Basket half with Tots & Half with Fries - Extra Yummy! Spouse ordered Chopped Cobb $13. marinated chicken / bacon / hard-boiled egg / avocado /tomato / bleu cheese / romaine / peppercorn dressing with leftovers so large a portion and she enjoyed every bite. Cali Club Wrap $11. sliced turkey / bacon / avocado smash / lettuce / tomato /homemade vinaigrette / white wrap also very good. Mahi Mahi Tacos $12. mahi mahi / pineapple & red pepper salsa / mango coleslaw /cilantro-lime sauce was also enjoyed by one of our party members. PS Very large and nice menu.

    I will start this as I always do by saying I don't give five stars unless I am really blown away. This is a great spot for catching a game. It is attached to the AUD so if you are catching a Hockey game stop in here first. They have a huge awesome TV is the Conner to the left of the bar and many others around the bar. I came in for a late lunch so it was mostly empty but by the time I left some bar flys were rolling in. I got the Cobb salad. It was huge and fresh. It was also very tasty. Maybe a little heavy on the blue cheese but that is just my opinion. Staff was very friendly and seemed like they really liked being there. Overall I thought it was worth the stop would like to spend some more time here but it will probably only ever be a lunch place for me.

    Food is still not good. Frozen over cooked burger with no flavor. Frozen fish fry that could be used as a goalie stick, no flavor. Don't eat here if you cherish your taste buds. The service was excellent.

    Ahi tuna salad
    Jenna L.

    New fav sports bar in downtown Utica! It's so spacious and there's so many TVs, high top tables and huge booths for larger parties! The menu is on point. I got the Ahi Tuna salad and added grilled shrimp. OMG it was so delicious! My friend got a burger and he liked it. The bill was $36 something... can't beat it! Waitstaff is fast and friendly. I highly recommend trying 72 tavern out if you're looking for somewhere to watch the game and grab some drinks/ food!

    Finally checked out the place outside of the arena with one of my favorite groups. Deco wise is 5 stars as it is new, clean, and spacious. Food wise, average. At least my 72 burger was and my boyfriend's belly burger. The burger was 8oz beef, goat cheese, and fig jam. The first several bites were dreadful because the burger itself was not seasoned and I did not taste much flavor. The goat cheese itself does not provide much flavor. The burger was a bit dry as well. However, got into it the burger did taste better when the fig jam hit everything. A nice combination but the execution needs to be better. #goatcheeseburger #thisisutica #cnyfood

    Plate of delicious nachos with chicken!!
    Candace G.

    Stopped in on a road trip! The nachos were delicious. Every chip was full of cheese. The wings with house sauce were delicious. Flatbread pizza was excellent, the tuna burger tasted fresh and flavorful. The filet was tasty, the asparagus was full of flavor: the wait staff went above and beyond to please my picky eater son. The staff even helped us find a spot to stop over for the night!

    Tavern Tots, Grass Fed Avocado Burger,  Angry Mussels Cable Bacon Signature Steak Hoagie with an Apple Cider Mule!

    This was our first time here and it definitely won't be our last. I probably rated the food price wrong per person but we went a bit overboard. Our Fabulous server Yanna made Fantastic suggestions and she did not disappoint. She went out of her way to fill us in on all the upcoming events we asked about and she was very attentive but not to pushy. "Perfect". Definitely a place to try!

    10¢ wing night on Mondays!

    Some work friends and I stumbled upon this place a few months ago, and we all instantly felt at…read morehome. We've been back every week since. There's so much to love about this place. They have classic arcade games like pinball & galaga, but they also have the newer games like buck hunter & a beer pong machine. The food is top notch, I always get their burger (made with their own special short-rib blend). They have a great selection on tap, with new beers rotated in pretty regularly. But the best part by far are the owners, Chris & Donna. They are the number one reason we keep coming back. I've never felt more welcomed in any establishment, it's like being in an episode of "Cheers" (but for millenials).

    Greeted by Michelle at the bar and seated at a table for 4…read more Beers of course, great Craft Beer selection on tap. Looked over the menu and placed our order with Michelle, who by the way provided very good service along with assistance from another guy, didn't catch his name at the bar.. Chris and Donna both stopped over to check in on us and say hello, as she remembered us from a time we previously stopped and they really appreciated that we returned. A plus to management. For the food - My spouse and I tried their BBG's hamburgers - mine with side salad vs. fries or chips with a champagne dressing that was very good. Spouse had hers with Fries and they were good along with the burger. To be honest, when you first look at the burger and bun, see picture, you think, SMALL, however they are very thick & delicious and I barely finished my burger. Someone else had their Cuban and he enjoyed his sandwich with Excellent, I must say, sweet potato fries. His spouse had their NY chicken speidi and she enjoyed her meal as well. Lots of fun games and great place for kids and parties, they even let you bring your own cake in. Not many places that allow that. As an FYI there was a small birthday party going on and the noise level wasn't bad and the staff placed lots of great looking food on a table for the participants to help themselves. This is also a great place to catch a sports game as well. All in all great food and very good & friendly service. We will return again, that roasted sausage sandwich is calling my name.

    It's been a while for us to eat out and I wanted to share something. Finally checked out this joint…read moreBunker, which is apparently a chain place with bars and indoor golfing. It is relatively "quiet" on a Friday night but the vibe is nice and decoration is neat, very good for a date night out. Ordered crispy wings with Parmesan and garlic flavor, a miss peachy cocktail, a UC draft, main course with street tacos and bunker burger. The miss peach cocktail is so tasty! Loved it. Not sure how much alcohol in it as I could not really taste it - actually worked for me. The crispy wings are not bad too. Nice flavor though a bit greasy. The wing itself has flavors without sauce. My street taco is with beef. The tortillas are toasted, which is a nice touch, the sauce, the salsa and the guacamole are nice and pairing very well with the taco. HOWEVER! The beef is quite SALTY. I could finish most of it by adding the salsa and the Guac but man, it was just too salty. Sir Flower's burger is massive. Two patties stacked with their special French fries, though tried with Guy's smashing technique, it was still too big to handle with "dignity", lol. French fires are interesting, large pieces and give it a unique texture. Overall, it is a nice place to check out. Will go back for the drinks for sure. #thisisutica #cnyrestaurants
