Itās unfortunate to have had a bad experience recently. I have lived in the area for over an 11/2 years and visited the Oswego Inn 3 times. Two visits I ordered pizza and left. The final one was just last night. My son had just gotten home from work which is around 11:30pm. I thought ordering a couple pizzas would be good. I am not here to call anyone out but my experience last night was far from a NICE one. As I was walking in, both bartenders behind the bar were doing shots. Mind you, this was around 11:30pm . I can only imagine how many more they had prior. I just wanted pizza. As I waited I was asked what I wanted to drink and I had WATER. It so happened that the gentleman next to me knew a mutual friend. So we talked and asked for a shot of tequila which both of us and the bartender did one as well. Once I received both of my pizzas, I was ready to walk back home. The gentleman next to me and I asked for another shot which we included the bartender who had a shot earlier with us. The bartender walked over to the long blonde hair lady with glasses and she came over and accused the gentleman he was too drunk, she said āno , Iām the boss and your not getting a shotā( which was far from the truth. She was much more intoxicated than he was) . I was completely caught off guard with her behavior. It was like she went from nice to nasty with in minutes. To be honest, I was embarrassed for her and the other bartender. The gentleman had ordered a pizza and decided to go outside after the ordeal. As I was heading out, the male bartender looked at me and saidā if you donāt like it, then donāt come backā I was so thrown off with his comment. I just stared at him and said ā I canāt even process what you said and happened . You both went from nice to rude with in minutes. ā Actually he was good until the blonde / glasses lady reacted nasty. Anyhow, my point is, to share how an amazing town Oswego is. It only takes a bad experience to ruin it for lots of customers. If youāre in customer service industry then deal with it. I have worked in the serving industry, itās how you react and handle yourself in different circumstances. If you canāt take it, then do something else.

Great bar with a friendly staff and a local feel! The kitchen isn't always open, but when it is, they send it some tasty food!

Not sure if greeting people at the door and guiding them where to sit is non existent nowadays but very unprofessional from the moment I stepped in. You can tell there is very minimal effort, me and buddies were denied drinks and then told to try anchor bar cause they accept fakes, no worries we will, cause we are of age!

Dawn is awesome, always Crazy busy, All the Bartenders are Knowledgeable and polite. Food is good, place has been there a long time.
Parking: Only if the place was a little larger with more tables. At times it gets tight in there.
I love this hometown bar. I've had nothing but good experiences with the staff.
Nice bar with good food. Holly is always great to see. Everyone makes sure you have a great experience.
Love this place
Everyone seems to know each other. Even packed service was amazing
I love the old places that survive. Nice place, great service and tasty food
Always a good time
Staff is great! Food is very good.
A basic dive bar but with exceptional service. First and third Mondays (7pm) are trivia with one of the best hosts in the business.
Dietary restrictions: If you get the pizza they are happy to clean utensils, anything else is suspect...
