It looked decent inside, but watch out for that men's room. Two toilets, no urinal. The toilets are out in the open air, with no seats and no toilet paper.

Full disclosure: went to HS with the owner and he's a great guy. My review however is strictly…read morebased on my experience going there. I've gone twice-once a few years ago and most recently, within last 4 weeks. When it's not busy (i.e. college kids aren't yet back in town or it;s before 12am), you can really appreciate the beauty of the bar (lots of warm tones) and its cozy atmosphere. Two fireplaces keep the place toasty in winter. Chris (owner) has great taste in both top shelf liquor and beers-lots of microbrews and the prices are ridiculously reasonable (another perk from leaving DC). The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is of course the bathrooms. They're big but one person only and like most bars in a college town, "rough." But who cares? The rest of the bar (the important parts) are awesome!

This place appears to have a rough crowd at first glance. Don't judge a book by its cover. The crowd looks rough but are a very friendly blue collar crowd. The food here is so darn good. Awesome food that is prepared by the bartenders. I've had tons of the delicious fried food on the menu as well as the pizza, both great. The wings are so huge and so tasty! Try the buck seasoned wings best combo I've had in a while. These bartenders know how to fry food to perfection, they should train some of the pizza joints. It seams locals get food to go here. I know it's the quality and prices. Not sure how they can be competitive with prices especially when most bars are getting $16 for 10 wings. Come here you won't regret it. I'll be there usually on Sunday for the games. PRO TIP wings are on special during SU and NFL games.

Don't walk there like I did...the 1.8 mile walk from Syracuse campus is...suspect, but I really love this place, and a lyft ride is around $10. When I tell locals I went, they nod in agreement as if I passed some 'locals only' test. I get the feeling everyone knows about this place, and they all want to keep it their secret, a secret we out-of-towners should never know. I got 6 Buffalo wings, and 6 Frankenstein wings and was VERY happy. If anyone knows what brand bleu cheese dressing they use, please let me know. I bet they make it in house, it's incredibly creamy and delicious.
