Always enjoyable, returned for my first post-pandemic visit and everything was great again, ate outside, service was faster than ever, food came way quicker than pre-we had mixed drinks, salad topped with salmon, and burgers with fries that were all perfect! Will be back soon! read more

Service was amazing, food was great! And a great atmosphere. Bar is stocked great and draft selection is amazing! 10/10 recommend!!

Located in Hanover Square, downtown Syracuse The Evergreen was a fun surprise for me when I visited with a few friends. The Evergreen has 20 craft beers on tap along with much more bottled and canned. Though I did enjoy a couple of NY state beers, my main focus turned out to be the delicious food and a comfortable atmosphere where I didn't feel rushed while I caught up with friends I haven't seen in a very long while. The Evergreen's culinary focus is on using locally-sourced ingredients. A huge draw for my friends and I were there great number of vegetarian, (along with gluten-free and organic) options. Two of the four of us were vegetarian. So the expansive vegetarian options made this a go to for us! The cauliflower wings were not greasy and had a a puffy yet light and crispy flavorful batter to them. The Poutine blew me away. I could of given you the gravy to it and you would of never new it was a vegetarian dark gravy. The cheese curds had a squeak and the fries had a texture you would expect from being covered in the gravy. A bit of a crisp meant that they weren't sitting long at all before hitting our table! For the main entrees I enjoyed the sirloin burger with Swiss. On it was leaf lettuce, tomato, frizzled onion, compound butter on a brioche bun. It was cooked to my liking, medium. I really enjoyed the flame grilled flavor that the sirloin had. The Evergreen Mac and Cheese was created with Brie, cheddar & gouda. It also had a cracker topping to had some texture to the amazing flavors of the multiple cheeses. We also ordered the option of having sliced grilled chicken on top. Our vegi friends ordered the Crispy Tofu. It had on it marinated tofu, roasted garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato & house pickles on ciabatta bun. Both said it was fantastic! The interior of the pub was very comforting. Warm wood interior throughout. Service was welcoming and was able to accommodate any needs or questions we had. I am looking forward to checking off more unique menu options in the future! read more

Well there are so many great spots to eat at in Syracuse. I was looking for particular ones that were dog friendly so we could bring the pup! Sean greeted us when we got there. He was one of the best servers we have had in a long time! Water for the pup, drinks for us and a great table to enjoy a beautiful night downtown. Sean gave us several recommendations and I went with the Chicken Risotto. It was superb! My husband had the Mac and Cheese sand with Short Ribs which he thoroughly enjoyed!! Between the excellent service, dog friendly atmosphere and the lip smacking food, we will be back!! read more

So I was in town for work and I decided to visit The Evergreen to have some food and beer. I came in to place and sat at the bar where I was greeted by the bartender. I was given both the food and beer menu. The beer menu listed around 15-20 beers on tap and were categorized by their characteristics. It does appear that they change their beer offerings somewhat often. They also offer bottled/canned beers. The food menu had your standard bar food including burgers, sandwiches, flatbreads, etc. On Mondays they have 1 dollar sliders as well. I decided to order a burger along with a side of fries. After ordering I took a look around the place. The lighting was somewhat dark and there was an overall casual vibe to the place. It's not too big as well. One unique aspect is that there is no waitstaff for the tables. So you have to go up to order at the counter or with the bartender. My sirloin burger came out and was amazing. It was appropriately cooked and had great flavor. I ordered the beer battered fries along with it and they were good too (good level of crunch). The bartender was very attentive. In summary the Evergreen is a solid choice for a few cold ones and some bar food. The beer options are varied, the food menu appears to be solid, and the overall casual vibe are all good reasons to visit. read more

Pretzels were buttery and malty and the accompanying mustard worked very well. Poutine was yummy though the gravy was a little unorthodox. My friend had a grilled cheese sandwich that he enjoyed thoroughly. The whiskey and beer selection are substantial, ambience was charming, and service was excellent. Great place to enjoy some food and drink, look forward to returning. read more

Over 90 minutes waiting for our meal?!! The restaurant was a bit over half full so I just can't understand the timing, and no explanation was offered. But if the extreme wait wasn't enough to discourage you from visiting, let me also say the food wasn't worth the time we spent. First note, several of the items we wanted were not available. We ordered the nachos which were served with a huge scoop of sour cream, probably close to a cup. They were edible but unpleasant to eat. The bread on the grilled cheese was mushy, the Evergreen burger had a strange flavor, a kind of "tang" that is hard to define, but is not usually a typical burger taste. The mac and cheese was fairly typical. The fries were crispy, verging on potato chips versus fries. We ordered the dessert in advance as we saw that our order was taking so long. When they served our meal they informed us the dessert was now unavailable. So we asked for cookies and a scoop of ice cream. After 30 minutes of waiting for a simple plating, we canceled the dessert, got our check and left. I hope this was just a bad night for this restaurant, otherwise they won't be in business very much longer. read more

Good food- everything is expensive right now. I ordered a 5.5% ABV Pale Ale and it was served in a snifter glass rather than a pint- $7. Seemed pricey. Food was good. Burger, fries, beer- $30 w the tip. Ok service. read more

Really fun place with good food and cheer. My crispy, spicy chicken was crispy and spicy and really good. Brussels sprouts appetizer was good but a tad sweet. My daughters faux burger was very good and wife's burger delicious. Great drinks. Good hospitality. read more

Awesome food with no frills. This hidden gem is no fine dining but delivers with very tasty, simple food and a variety of fresh brews. They have a wall updating their available drafts. You get a menu and order from the order window and they deliver your order to you at your table. Some small and larger tables and can get very noisy. I ordered the sirloin burger, battered fries, side salad and glazed carrots. Burger was tasty and bun was toasted. Fries were crispy and the salad and carrots were fresh. Try the Buffalo cauliflower bites, you won't be disappointed. Very good overall and I will definitely be back to this place the next time I'm in Syracuse!! read more

The Evergreen is the best place to grab drinks downtown in Syracuse. The chicken nachos are so good and so is the burger sliders special.

Good food and good beer can be found here along with a helpful staff I would certainly eat here again read more

Everything was amazing. We had a couple cocktails that were well made and delicious. For starters we had the brussel sprouts. Let me tell you what! Dinner, my wife had the lamb burger and I had the evergreen burger. Slap your mamma and shut the front door. The flavors were amazing. Top all this off with a great wait staff that really takes care of their customer. WE WILL BE BACK! read more

Craft beer bar with restaurant-quality Tavern grub. This is /our/ bar. It's been that way since I was wowed by their craft beer lineup. I came one day and was blessed to have the Founders KBS and CBS in one sitting, perfectly paired with a hearty perfectly-grilled burger and Sriracha fries. Let's breakdown the above sentence. Their beer selection is exciting. They have a rotating system where as soon as a keg kicks, they bring the next one in line. That way you have a consistently varied selection of varied flavor profiles: Crisp, Hoppy, Dark, Fruity, Sour. There are three, not one, ways of determining their current lineup. Online (via website and BeerMenus app), the handwritten "board" at the back of the restaurant, and their paper menu. I'm told the most accurate is the board, so treat it as gospel. Their burger is out of this world. Perfectly grilled to a medium, seasonings, grill marks and all. Their bun is adequately hearty to match the solid patty. Aptly matched condiments. Their Sriracha fries. O. M. G. Probably the highlight of their entire kitchen lineup. Fries by nature should be savory and outwardly crispy with a homogeneous potato mouthfeel. They have all of the above. Top that with a seasoning that kicks your buds to Vietnam. You're hit with nudges of citrus, sweet, and garlic. Now lean back and sip on the amazing beer you have before you. Their remaining sides are also great. Honorable mention awards to the "cauliflower wings," deep fried cauliflower prepared like buff wings. Their fried chicken sandwich also deserves credit. A generous fried chicken patty that's not underwhelming. The staff has been consistently warm to us, regardless of how many patrons and customers. They're run by genuinely nice guys (actually I only know Mike). They have some cool ventures coming up, mainly with Rail Line, an events venue downtown soon to be a restaurant and bar as well. All in all, stop reading and come here yourself. read more

Although there were empty tables, we were asked to come back in a bit as the kitchen was slammed and trying to catch up. Returned a 1/2 hr later and waited a while for our order. One dinner was missing. It was comped when we spoke up. Sirloin burgers were very small and sweet potato fries were a small portion also. Maybe it was an off night but not as good as we experienced before. read more

Stopped by Evergreen on a recent late-afternoon Saturday for an early dinner/drinks with wife and kids. Had heard many good comments about the vibe of this place and was not disappointed. Decent crowd awaited our arrival, but we were quickly able to find a table for the four of us. A sign greets you when walk in to grab a menu and a table once you arrive. Typical pub fare options on the menu- with some vegetarian/vegetarian possible and gluten free choices. Once you are ready to order, you need to visit the side window to place and pay for food. Drinks are ordered at the bar. Quite an extensive local beer selection- this night they happened to be featuring many Middle Ages varieties. Pulled pork sandwich/mac n cheese w/pulled pork- The Evergreen Burger were all ordered- and tasted great. As I recall- burger had fried pickles, roasted peppers and jalapeños on it- very tasty. Food arrived quickly-maybe 15 minutes or so. Was REALLY impressed with the sriracha fries that came with the burger. Was a little skeptical at first , but the seasoning was amazing. Good vibe here- and crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves. Would come back- especially as they have trivia night on Tuesdays. read more

Wanting to support my local restaurants, I decided to give The Evergreen a try, and ordered takeout. Their online ordering system was super easy to use. I opted for the beet & grain burger with a side of rosemary fries. The fries I wasn't a huge fan of. They're very thin shoestrings, and while the rosemary seasoning was alright, I wasn't big on the texture. I do enjoy a crispy fry, but these were a little too thin for my liking-- they're about the size/shape of those sour straw candies, and while they have a nice crunch, there's little substance. The burger-- oh my god, what a burger. I'd venture to say that this might just be the best veggie burger in Syracuse. I knew it'd be good, because I like beets and love goat cheese and am pretty thrilled with that combo, however I was unprepared for just how legendary this burger would be. First off, it's huge. Big chunks fell off of the bun, and still, there was more than enough left inside. In addition to the goat cheese it had onions, wilted greens, and a spicy mustard, and holy cow, was that flavor combination right on point. The mustard really made a nice tart contrast, while the cheese evened everything out. The homemade beet patty was the perfect canvas for the flavors, hearty but complimentary, tasty but willing to let the other flavors really shine. I love a homemade veggie burger as opposed to a processed patty, and I'm especially jazzed when there's some variety on the menu-- the go-to black bean burger is fine, but there's only so many times you can eat it before getting bored. The beet burger was truly a bold and welcome change. I'd order it again, for sure (even though the Evergreen does offer a few different vegetarian options on their menu, which is also a big plus for me.) read more

We came here for New Years and had a blast and just came back for a more typical experience. Beers are $5 (8oz and 10oz) for the happy hour deal. They have a great long beer menu. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options here. We were blown away by the cauliflower wings. They were crispy, not soggy, delicious hot sauce, and just excellent. I'm a meat eater and love chicken wings and these were really freaking good. Mushroom flat bread was nice as well. The blackened tofu sandwich was tasty but the bread was too buttery. Would be better if the sour dough were dry and they have butter on the side. Otherwise very tasty. The lighting is super dark, so if it looks closed it may not be. Try the door! We almost walked away thinking it was closed one time. Check out the evergreen! read more

Very disappointed tonight. Trying to support local restaurants but it's been long enough to have this takeout thing together even when it's busy. The food was delicious as usual and that made up for the wait. The reason for the two stars is that they don't care enough about guests to mandate mask and gloves on employee interacting with the public. Very irresponsible. I do takeout daily and most often local restaurants. The ones I go back to are the ones that have it together both in organization and safety of staff and public. read more

The Evergreen has a wide variety of excellent beer choices, whether you're into craft beer or not, they've got something for you. They have some good food options for vegetarians/pescatarians. I posted a photo of the cauliflower wings/bites. Nice and crispy and with a buffalo dipping sauce. Also pictured is their salmon BLT; so so good and better than I was even expecting! They have seasonal/rotating soups of the day, and pictured was the creamy cauliflower and it was flavored perfectly. Come for the beer, stay for the food! read more

Evergreen is my go-to favorite spot during the week for fun, food and drinks! They have an awesome trivia night on Tuesdays. Just be sure to keep your phone hidden :) they don't allow cheating. I've tried a number of their entrees and apps and I've honestly been very happy with them all. I like that they change up the menu based on season as well. Their most recent menu is amazing! I recommend trying the monte crisco sandwich which comes with maple syrup to dip! So delicious with the cheese and ham on French toast bread! I also have found their salads to be hearty and healthy (always a plus!) and they're special are always unique and delicious! Definitely recommended giving them a try when you need a laid-back and dining/bar experience. Just wanted to note that it isn't your typical restaurant experience as you order at the window and pay there. They do bring it to your table, but it isn't your typical dining experience which I enjoy- it's nice and casual! I've always had a wonderful experience with the bartenders as well. They are attentive and always so friendly. Overall, I really enjoy this place and would recommend it to others! I've briefly met the owners and they seem very passionate about providing delicious foods and wonderful beers. Evergreen is definitely one of my usual go-to spots! read more

This spot is a great mix between a casual nature and a really beautiful atmosphere! We really enjoyed the counter service, which was crazy fast and allowed us to leave when we finished rather than waiting around for a check. It works really well! The food was great. I am vegan and my boyfriend is not, so finding a good place for both of us can be tricky. They have multiple vegetarian, not vegan, options but many of those can easily be made vegan. Heads up, though: If you avoid honey as a vegan, your options may be more limited. I got the Brussels sprouts and buffalo tofu sandwich with glazed carrots, and my boyfriend got the lamb burger with fries and Mac and cheese. We are big Brussels sprouts fans and they were done perfectly! My bf said that the lamb was great. They also had a full bar and lots of beers on tap that looked great but we didn't try this time. We will be back! read more

8/9/16: After a day of moving into our new downtown apartment, we were famished. We had tried to eat here the night previously but they were right at closing time, so the kitchen was closed although the bar was still serving. The Evergreen has the look of many bars today. Wood lined fixtures, wooden high top tables but unlike most they feature locally-sourced menu offerings and a ton of really amazing thoughtful beer options. We had a show stopping Lamb burger, perfectly cooked with juices running out of it as it sat waiting for our first bites. This intensely flavored burger was paired with lettuce, tzatziki, pickled red onion, goat cheese on a brioche bun. Another winner was the Panther Margarita -spicy from jalapeño, sweet from mango puree...tasty tequila. read more

Loved this place for drinks! Supposedly the food is fantastic, but when I was there, there was a 1.5 hour wait on food. It should be worth it, but plan ahead. In the meantime I suggest sitting at the bar and trying the various beers and cocktails they offer. The house margarita was great, I highly recommend it. Its a nice place to take a small group of friends for intimate conversation. Looking forward to going back! read more

After an eventful evening of trying to find a restaurant for burger night we finally found ourselves at The Evergreen. Its pretty unassuming when you walk in it seems like a little dive bar. When you walk in you can grab a menu and a table (or a seat at the bar) and at your convenience go up to the bar or food window and place an order. You can pay right away or open a tab which would be nice if you were there to drink and snack for a few hours. I got fried pickles, and BBQ burger with a side of deviled eggs. Dave got pretzels and the house burger with the beer battered fries. I was happy the pickles came with ranch dressing. So many people try and forge a new frontier and serve weird dips with their fried pickles but ranch is perfection. Overall the food was good, it came out fast, and we were able to keep dinner for two under $50 bucks. It was a successful date night. read more

I had dinner here last night with my son at his suggestion. This was my first time here and it was absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the beers on tap variety. I waited until today to write this article because I had quite a bit to write. We both ordered the Salmon BLT. Hands down the best seafood sandwich I have ever eaten. FRESH, cooked perfectly and a nice blend of flavors inside. I had the shoestring fries drizzled with olive oil and he had the sriracha fries. Both excellent. I also ordered a burger to split with him. It was a Lamb Burger so I had to try it. We both agreed it was fabulous. The flavor was amazing and cooked exactly how I asked, medium. The craft beer selection was also extensive to meet anyone's liking. And my drafts were nice and cold. We completed our meal and one of the workers asked if he could take my plate, I said yes and asked him if he could tell the chef the burgers where fantastic. He thanked me and appreciated the comments. Surprisingly enough, he actually said he was a co owner. The fact that he was on the floor helping the team reflects on the entire experience. It's all about detail and putting out a great product. Thanks Mike for a great meal. And I remembered his name because it was the same as my son. I'll be back! Thanks for a great experience. read more

I like the place and really like it for Syracuse! It was nice to have another space to go to that had a good bar, food options, and seating. They are still fully opening and will start their entire menu next week. I had their Malbec wine, which was good, and wings and grilled cheese. The wings are a little fatty, but the sauce was so good - BBQ. The grilled cheese was good and the tomato soup was decent. My friend had the burger and really liked it. I don't think I would rush back for the food, but will definitely eat there when I go next. I am looking forward to the full menu. The ambiance is really nice. It's a darker environment, lighting wise, and faces the street where there are lights up for the winter- it's a pretty view in that sense. The seating is table and chairs, high tables and chairs, bar, and then on the wall there's a wooden bench - it's not finished so be careful not to get w splinter! Lastly, the wall has a list of their beer options for that day. I thought it was really cool to see that they change them - they changed on while we were there - and to see the details of the beer. Overall, great place to go and good for groups or meeting up with people. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch recently and had a very pleasant experience. If not for a few things, it would have been four stars instead of 3. The decor is nice - classy, but comfortable. It has a much nicer feel than the previous place. There is no wait service; you order at a counter or the bar, and for such a small place I think it works well. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. All in all, the atmosphere is great. There is a good beer menu that changes often; all draft beers are listed on a board with the serving size and ABV which is helpful. I thought the beer selection was great. It had something for everyone, and I was happy to see Allagash Tripel on tap. We started with the brussel sprouts small plate. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. The accompanying sauce is a mustard based sauce. I greatly dislike anything with mustard, but the brussel sprouts were flavorful enough without it. For our main dishes, we got the shrimp po' boy and the hangar steak sandwich. Both were cooked well and had an excellent balance of flavors. I especially like the creole aoli on the shrimp sandwich, and the breads for both sandwiches were very fresh. However, I found the fries that I got with my sandwich to be overly greasy. Additionally, it was hard to eat out of the wire baskets that the food came in. So, we asked for plates to eat off of instead. I also had to eat my shrimp sandwich with a fork and knife because it was a bit unwieldy. Overall, I like this place a lot but for some reason felt there was something slightly lacking. Maybe I just need a few more visits. Regardless, we will be back for sure. read more
