    I had by far one of the worst experiences here. Owners are rude and the place looks dirty and unkempt.

    Called in our order by phone - the old fashioned way, lol! Peterson's does both take out and…read moredelivery. For the most up-to-date menu, they recommended visiting their Facebook page because the menu on Yelp is outdated. The chicken wings were super crispy, as I requested... I ordered a traditional "medium" Buffalo hot sauce with blue cheese. They were fresh and hot. I would have liked more than 3 celery sticks (and perhaps the bare wings could have used a touch more seasoning before frying)....BUT these wings were still excellent! This tavern is located on a street corner across from our Airbnb, in the heart of the city; a "walkable" location in Binghamton. I noticed an outdoor seating area, but there were no guests outside and the heaters were not lit. The staff inside were friendly and quick when we picked up. And get this...I think our wait times from order to pick up was 20 min...Super fast! The only reason I didn't offer 5 stars was that the wings are actually on the small side and one order costs over $15 (seems a little expensive for just 10 wings). We ordered 1 1/2 orders for the 2 of us. That said, I would definitely order again from Peterson's because the service & quality of the food was great. I would highly recommend if you are hanging in downtown Binghamton and you need some GOOD bar food, to try this place!

    Well, since I'm in Bingo often I knew I'd try Peterson's-since I named my son Peterson (after late…read moreSwedish F1 racer Ronnie Peterson)! Anyway, it was a slow night, so we were seated right away. Our waitress was terrific, efficient, and pleasant. She talked us through the menu, gave us some pointers, and ably managed our experience. The fried pickle spears were tasty and fun, my bacon cheeseburger above Bingo standards, the tater tots (I have a weakness for them) were good, and the portion was so big we left half! Our waitress really knew the tap selection too and guided me through the two beers I tried. We'll be back!

People who used to go to it now own it, so while the name has changed and some required changes have taken place (RIP the old record jukebox!) it spiritually feels like the same friendly place, with a new outdoors and a great local vibe. Not exactly for BU students, but not exactly NOT, either. They don't mind much who comes in as long as you're respectful. Buy a shirt. Make it your local spot if you live nearby, or if you want to escape the chaos of downtown. The pizzeria next door is actually pretty good too. Enjoy.

This renovated house holds the pub and a pizzarria that share a common back area outside where people can smoke cigarettes, cigars and occasionally other substances. The back was filled with college students and locals. Some a bit more jolly on chemical induced happiness. A group of student aged kids were listening to a kid with a guitar try to sing, but they were mostly enjoying the conversations that occupy minds of similar aged people. Inside was a clean area with tables and the bar. A great digital jukebox that will eat your bills faster than you can drink your well priced beverages. I had a draft Yeungling for $3 and double Tito's and soda for $7. Long pours, friendly staff and an enjoyable crowd. 3 different television monitors in case you wanted to follow the ladies US Football (Soccer) squad grab a nice World Cup qualifier round against the lady Kiwis. We stayed in a BnB about a block North on Rotary Ave. a very safe, student filled area of post WWII homes with great front porches to enjoy the late Summer weather
