Decent pub food. It's not really my type of place after 9 p.m., but that's just me - the Auburn tends to have a lot of regulars and faithfuls both during the daylight hours and beyond. Don't write it off as being a "dive" just yet - the food is actually pretty darn good.

I spent about $9 for three mixed drinks the night I was here. I was also pleasantly surprised with the pretty clean bathrooms which is rare for a dive bar. My buddy used to frequent this place a lot when he lived in Utica. I came here for his wedding. He told me to get a 'Purple Water'. This is a cocktail that from what I can decipher has some alcoholic type grape kool-aid with water added. It was quite delicious, light and refreshing. Definitely didn't weigh you down like a beer or whiskey can sometimes. For sure a must try. I'd definitely hit this place up again if I ever ended up in Utica a second time. Doubtful I would, but just saying.

This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

"Cathy with C" was working the bar and told us to "belly up to the bar!" We did, and ordered a dozen wings, half bbq and half hot, then a bunch of onion rings and an order of jalapeño poppers. The food was amazing and the wing menu offered a bunch of different sauces and heat levels for whatever you're hankering for. Cathy kept us all feeling good and we had a blast! I really recommend Shifty's.

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).
