    Back at our hotel this take out order was well packaged, have silverware,  and  sides came on the side so everything traveled well.

    One of the only late Monday night games in town. Rolled into town late and found myself here because it was open. I was delighted they took my order after 10pm. All good things my friend. Pub grub for sure - but fresh made. Pulled pork sandwhich double yummy. I had chicken sandwhich which was also great. Food was ready when I got there and over the place had a good vibe. If I didn't have someone waiting for their dinner I could have stayed for a couple. Sides were Mac and cheese and side salad. Would have both again and feel the need to comment the salad was so fresh.

    Spiedie nachos.

    Clinton Street Pub is owned by Robb Bidwell and Doug Balle, who launched it under that name in 2004 after it had been RJ Lanigan's for several years. One of Armory Square's most familiar nightspots, it transitioned in 2016 to a sports bar, complete with a full kitchen serving tavern food, expanded hours, new tables and 22 new flat screen TVs. The kitchen is also one of the more recent local outlets for those crispy, sweet Sal's Birdland wings. The kitchen staff, led by Aaron Labulis, has been trained in producing those Rochester-based favorites. The wife and I went to CSP with a couple friends before a show at the Landmark Theatre since it was right around the corner. We walked in and it was surprisingly pretty empty, but it was only 5 PM on a Sunday. We were able to choose whatever seating we wanted, so we sat ourselves and a server brought us menus. CSP now sports classier new exterior signs, a new blue-and-orange color scheme inside, sports memorabilia on the walls and plenty of new high-top tables, arranged for viewing the new TV screens. The old Clinton Street Pub had just three TVs, and while the old pool table is gone, electronic darts machines remain and the pub hosts video games and tournaments. It still has that divey neighborhood bar feel, without making you feel disgusting. We had all checked out the menu beforehand and were surprised that some of the things we wanted on the website were no longer on the physical menu. Luckily, they have a lot of tasty sounding things and we were all able to choose other dishes pretty easily. The wife and I ordered spiedie chicken nachos to share, while I went with their homemade chicken tenders meal with fries and the wife tried their popper burger. I would've went with something more interesting, but I'm always interested to try chicken tenders at a place that hand breads their own fresh. Our friends ordered fried cheese curds and some Sal's birdland wing. Our food was brought relatively quickly. Fried cheese curds were good, but it's kinda hard to screw that up. Our spiedie chicken nachos were delicious. The spiedie marinated chicken was great, with some delicious homemade queso on the chips and guacamole. I liked my chicken tenders a lot, crispy, fresh and HUGE. The wife loved her burger, and our friends enjoyed their wings too, which were also gigantic. I'm not a huge fan of the Sal's Sassy sauce that is served with the tenders, but still tasty. Service was good, prices were fair. It does still have that divey, loud sports bar feel to it, so you gotta be in the mood for that. I'd definitely go again and try some more food options.

    Food was really good. I placed a to go order inside and it was ready quite fast. I only gave it four stars because I was not given any cutlery, napkins, or condiments. Will return.

    SBL Tenders from CSP, yum!

    Best chicken wings / tenders I've had in Syracuse. Got wings last week, meaty and delicious; well worth the price. They also have this "CSP plate" I had a couple weeks ago that was also delicious and very reasonable priced. Waitress was good on previous visits, today I got take out from the bartender who had a bit of an attitude, but not enough to change my overall opinion. You can order through GrubHub with paypal (cool)

    Been here a couple of times since they have revamped the place and added a new menu. It's kind of a divey bar but in a good way. Stopped in on Saturday night. They have a good draft selection. We ordered Ommegang Nirvana IPA and 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon. Both good choices. Now on to the food, great chicken tenders and wings from Sal's Birdland, with the sassy sauce. Can't go wrong ordering either of these. Lots of tv's so you can check out whatever game might be on that night. Fun sports bar!

    Decent size pub in Armory Square. Place has plenty of seating, TVs on the walls with constant Sports on. There's a dart board in the back. Beers are cheep, chicken tenders were pretty good. They have a shot wheel that the bartender spins & you get discounted shots. Not too far from the SU campus & the Carrier Dome. Not bad, but also nothing to rave about. Very average

They also have a wide selection of drafts, but it's 95% local/big names, not really my game. For drinks, I had a draft ($5) and a nice/strong jack/coke ($8).

A short wait for menus and to scour drink menu. I went with pomegranate cosmo, unfortunately it lacked presentation due to shortage of appropriate glassware. Server was apologetic, taste was pleasant but strong and lacking garnish. My friend just ordered a light draft and we ordered Reuben egg rolls to share. Best Reuben egg rolls I have had in the Cuse! Tons of tender corned beef, and just a hint of sauerkraut and Swiss served with thousands island dressing! I ordered an extra for take out for my Irish man at home and short rib tacos. Those did not keep well for take out, more meat and toppings would improve the continuity compared to tortillas. Service excellent, frequently checked upon for refills and food order. Prompt delivery and friendly service! Great place for meetups with a pub sports bar atmosphere. I'm not sure I noticed remanence of the prior press room. Many televisions great for sport events. Menu is simple and pub oriented.

    It's been a while since I'd last been but everything is as amazing as I remembered…read more I've seen them advertise their monthly "flight night" events for some time but never actually had been to one. When I saw an espresso martini and cake pairing, I knew I had to pull the trigger. Met up with some friends and we all ordered food beforehand to offset the impending sugar rush. I'd had their naan pizza in the past and loved it, so this time I went with the one that had caramelized onions and goat cheese. AMAZING. Crispy crust, melty cheese, tangy onions and the perfect amount of everything in every bite. Then onto the main event: the flights! The staff brought over our cake and drinks and were so great about explaining what to pair together. (There was also a card) Desserts were a carrot cake with the most impossibly airy icing, a pistachio cheesecake with chocolate ganache, and a chocolate cake with a light nutella icing. I'm usually a carrot cake girlie and while I enjoyed it, the cheesecake was actually my favorite. Just the perfect pistachio flavor and a wonderful consistency -- so, so smooth. Our waitress told us that the owner is the one that makes all of the desserts too. A multi-talented queen. As far as the martinis, my favorite was the affogato one. These flight-nights are one-off events and the items aren't normally on the menu, so if you see one that looks extra appealing, get yourself there! I've been for normal service too though, and honestly, never have had a misfire here. One thing I especially love is the option to order drinks in 5oz pours, a godsend for lightweights like me. Ambiance, food, drinks, all excellent.

Our server, Karen was great at explaining the menu and providing nice service. She informed me that several of their burger have been rated the best in the state at various times over the past several years, which was impressive. She also said their chicken wings were pretty highly rated locally, so we started with an order of 6 of the wings with their Dr Pepper BBQ sauce. These wings came out over fried, looking pathetic, and they were dry. The Dr Pepper BBQ sauce had no positive effect or flavor, so I asked for some of their hot wings sauce, which she properly brought. The sauce was great, I wish we would have ordered that instead. It definitely helped the flavor part of the wings, but the texture (plus they were so small) really was a deal breaker for us and we each had one and that was it. Next up was their burger - I got their Beef on Weck Burger. I was worried about the saltiness of the bun, as I find Kimmelweck buns to be way too salty, but she assured me that they get these from a local bakery and they're perfect. So, I ordered it and was VERY HAPPY with it! The bun was insanely good... soft and so flavorful, while hardly salty at all, which was my preference. The roast beef on it was really good and tender. The burger meat was so very tasty and tender - WOW! The entire burger came together perfectly! I got it with a side of poutine fries and those fries were amazing! The Guiness gravy on them was very flavorful! Overall, while we didn't enjoy the wings, the rest of our food and the service definitely made this place a worthwhile visit! I feel like the service and mains far exceeded our expectations, so we can overlook those terrible wings and still give a 5 star review. I'd definitely return!!
