    Fantastic addition to the Binghamton bar scene. Great service, great prices, and (best of all) great people.

    That was a treat! After MANY attempts (often derailed by my own schedule) finally made it to…read moreDowntown for dinner. As luck would have it, it was Binghamton Restaurant Week and we attempted a walk in - first available was three+ hours later - but the hostess mentioned we could get the RW menu at the bar and two seats were calling. Lots of choices on the menu but friend and I ended up having the same meal! Cup of Cauliflower, potato and leek soup to start was yummy - very comforting, not too thick, good flavor - I could have stopped here! But fortunately did not! Main was spectacular! Salmon with everything bagel spices served over pearl couscous in a risotto style was inspired (honestly, I will try this at home)! I hope this is a menu regular because I will crave this for many more meals! Add a black Manhattan and this meal is a treat! (Took the dessert course to go - blueberry cronuts were better than chocolate but both likely suffered a wee bit from loss of ambiance and slight steaming that occurred on drive - good for sure but did not compare to the rest of the meal). Shout out to Tommy F for exceptional service - attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance is lovely (the lighting dimmed as we sat - hysterical) but we also scored the most comfortable seats in the house (I hate a high top stool with no back and no padding on the seat - those stools look nice but should go away). Also love the hook under the bar.

    Our family loves the Downtown By Chef Jay vibe. We came to celebrate a bday…read more 5 stars for food, loved everything. 3 stars for service. I think it was Lauren, she was nice enough but did not go above and beyond for her customers. She did not want to move us to a more comfortable table, despite our requesting multiple times and the place was literally empty. Finally she was able to make it happen but it was already unpleasant. She was good with bringing us hot waters with lemon as requested, but there was zero proactiveness to refill the hot water or any of the iced water. It was like us going out and trying to please the waitstaff. She did make a good suggestion for the lavender gimlet cocktail. Overall disappointing.

    Crowbar is officially the best hangout space in Binghamton right now!…read more Nestled in a nook between State St. and Washington St., when you walk in the first thing you see is their incredible display of old LCD TVs circling the bar area, which really sets the tone for the vintage gaming aesthetic. Everything about this place is on-theme, right down to the items on the menu. While the food is definitely bar fare, don't underestimate it; every single one of their offerings is crafted to perfection! My favorites include the Sauer Loser hotdog (mouth-watering combo of sauerkraut and mustard on all beef franks) and the Flamin' Hot Smothered Cheetos (an elevated take on the spicy snack)! As for drinks, they have a fun array of game-themed cocktails and mocktails. Yes, you heard right, mocktails! And they are all incredible. My favorite is the Wowza Bowzer mocktail, which has a little bit of a kick with habanero bitters. The Waka-Waka-Waka cocktail (mule) features a Pac-Man shaped lemon slice eating a cherry, which is a fun touch! But, as we know, we come for the food and stay for the games, so what's available? Well, they have over 30 vintage games ranging from arcade classics like PacMan and Mortal Combat to more interactive favorites like DDR, hoops, and racing games (check out their website for a full listing). Plus, a couple pool tables and a few chill spots in the 2-story location (which includes a few quiet nooks with seating between the floors). While this space is definitely kid-friendly, it is only open to 21+ after 9pm, which provides a great experience for families and night crawlers alike!

    Super sweet spot with hella cool games to play, love the 90s aesthetic, and the bartenders and…read moreservice was great. Super fun highly recommend

This was our…read morefirst visit in the old Consol's location and they did a great job renovating and decorating for the holidays! The ambiance was warm and inviting. I do miss the white bean dip with focaccia but the bread and accoutrements were delicious anyway. Two of us got the shrimp scampi, another the eggplant parm, and another the salmon. Their tomato sauce is thick and a bit sweet, just the way I like. Joe was an excellent server and knowledgeable of the menu. We appreciated how he made us feel welcome and was attentive throughout our meal. We would definitely ask for him again when we return! It was an excellent visit (both times) to Concordia and we can't wait to return!

She was terrific and knowledgeable about the menu that it made our choices very difficult! My friend had Calamari Puttanesca as an appetizer, spaghetti and meatballs for the main course. I had homemade meatballs which were huge and the Bolognese which was delightful! The salad dressing (I know a weird thing to focus on) was absolutely delicious! A homemade Italian dressing that I wanted to take home with me. Definitely a great place and can't wait to visit again!
