“We have been coming here for decades. It's super convenient and good for a filling meal on nights I can't summon the effort to cook. This trip, however was a very pleasant surprise! They have improved and expanded the menu, including their drinks. I had a really good house made sangria and an enchilada suiza. Both we new to me and both were delicious. We sat outside on a lovely evening in August night and their patio is usually in shade due to the position of the building . We will be back soon.“

“Great place. Delicious food and a great hostess! Thanks Nikki! Really takes all precautions to social distancing!“

Whether you settle into a stool at the bar, sink into a couch, or claim a table, you’ll feel right at home.

Go for a flight to sample the unique creations brewed right on-site – it’s the perfect way to experience the variety they have to offer.“

“The rudest manager I have ever met. the restaurant was only about 30% full and the hostess would not seat us at the table we wanted to sit at, even though 70% of the tables were empty. I asked her to ask the manager, and we still couldn't sit at the table we wanted. So, we decided to leave. On the way out, I stopped at the hostess desk and very politely asked her to pass along to the manager why we were leaving so that he would be aware because if I were manager, I would want to know why my customers left before ordering.. The manager came up behind me while I was telling her that and interrupted me saying to stop talking because he was aware of my opinion. He went on to say that he had been doing this for a long time and knows what he is doing. When I started to respond, he interrupted me again shouting "Stop talking!" and then, "Just leave!" I had made my request for the table very politely and was also very politely asking the hostess to let him know that we were leaving for that reason. To be interrupted twice and yelled at and told to stop talking and just leave in the manor he did so was outrageous behavior verging on threatening. I will never return and will encourage all the groups I routinely go to sports bars with to never return. If you are going to a sports bar to watch your favorite teams, this is definitely NOT the place to go. You will likely not be able to watch the teams you like and will get yelled at if you try. Customer service is definitely not something this place values.“

“Jamie,Kelly and Kelsie are hands down the best behind the bar! Their energy is infectious, their drinks are top-notch, and their service is unbeatable. Kelly crafts perfect cocktails with skill, while Kelsie keeps the crowd engaged and the vibes high. They work seamlessly together, making every night at the bar an experience.

And let’s not forget Carol, the amazing owner who makes it all possible! She’s created a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and top-tier staff. If Kelly and Kelsie are on shift, and Carol’s running the place, you’re in for an unforgettable night!“

“I’ve been here twice. First time was for my bachelorette party. This boat was perfect! We were put up in the karaoke room right away and our server came up frequently to make sure we had enough drinks and everything was good. It was the perfect night! Then we went again yesterday for my birthday. The drinks were fantastic and there was plenty to keep us entertained while waiting for our turn in the karaoke room. The only flaw in the night was fixed right away by the amazing security staff and the manager! I would only suggest a better system for the karaoke waitlist. We were called for our room and went up only to be told by the waitress (who did not check the waitlist) that someone else had the room and even though they booked after us we needed to leave. I wish I had gotten the names of the security staff and manger because when we brought this issue to them they resolved it right away and we were able to enjoy some karaoke to end the night. Thank you to all the security staff and the manager (those 5 stars for you) for helping end our night on a good note! I will alway recommend this place to people and will gladly go here for any birthday in the future! ❤️ Also we did not eat here but we saw Nachos coming out that looked absolutely 🔥 and if the kitchen had still been open we would have ordered some!“

“Great bar, great atmosphere, friendly staff! Great local bar and good drinks! I’ll be back!“

“Fantastic food!! Server was great but she definitely needed some help keeping up. She did a phenomenal job though running things on her own. Women's bathroom trash can comes with a side of rust so recommend making sure you're up to date on your tetanus booster.“

“Everything!!!Great dinner, drinks and atmosphere! Bartenders are on point!“

“This place is incredible, and I understand why making a reservation is such a hassle.

When we arrived at our designated time, we were promptly seated and greeted by our server, Erica. She was incredibly friendly and helpful, suggesting dishes that we might enjoy the most during our visit. For our first course, we had risotto balls accompanied by a refreshing salad. Both dishes were bursting with fresh flavors and textures.

For our second course, we indulged in a delightful brick oven pizza topped with pasta. After savoring both courses, we never felt bloated, as all the ingredients were imported from Italy and tasted absolutely divine. It was as if we were on an Italian vacation, dining at a restaurant.

To top off our meal, we enjoyed cannolis and gelato, accompanied by a refreshing Americano coffee. These desserts were incredibly refreshing and satisfying.

What truly set this place apart was the ambiance, the thoughtful gesture of providing separate silverware for each course, and Erica’s exceptional ability to engage us in meaningful conversations.

This place is absolutely worth the wait. You won’t find food like this anywhere else, unless you visit Italy. I highly recommend it; as an Italian myself, it reminded me of my Nonna’s cooking.

Arrivederci e a presto!“

“Ample parking. Great location.across from the pool . Excellent sports venue for groups or small gatherings of friends. Excellent service drinks for extra strong. Love the atmosphere for a close cozy sporting event or get friends together..“

“Top- Notch Service. The place is amazing!! We loved the experience and will go again soon!!“

“I walked into a classy interior and sat at the bar. I was welcomed there by the owner and he made me feel like a king. I had some fine tequila and ordered the duck. Both were fantastic. The service was wonderful. One of the best duck breast dishes I ever had. Hats off to Westchester for a positive experience“

“I got a pizza with garlic alfredo sauce and italian sausage and extra cheese. My pizza arrived as ordered. I had to wait for a refill of my drink twice. The was only 1 server working today at lunch and for the size of this place they should have a second server at lunch.“

“Excellent food and service! Justin and Chris provided excellent service. The staff at the hostess desk were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. Very thankful for wonderful gluten-free options“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Got the Breaded Mushrooms and Onions Rings for a lunch snack this afternoon. Been awhile since I've had them and Clancy's once again did not disappoint! Always recommended to eat at this great place!“

“Delicious food,great portions, 9/10 recommended“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“Best Fine Dining Restaurant😀😀😀“

“Love three kings. We had a great dinner with great service. Maharaja on tap!“

“The best all around staff in Kirkwood. Thank you for helping to make a wonderful birthday dinner for my daughter! Can’t wait to see you all again!“

“They have the best Greek salad and wings!!“

“We went to Astoria for the first time and I was blown away by the wonderful food and service, The lamb and chicken kabobs were very flavorful and juicy. The beef dumplings apps with dill was tremendous. Service was on point. You need to come here and treat yourselves. We are coming back!“

“These two young gentlemen, Juliyen and Sam! I can tell they enjoy being around people ! All smiles and great conversation. Waffles were okay but they made the atmosphere enjoyable with their welcoming personalities! Had a rough week before and they brightened it.“

“We went to Syberg's yesterday ... always our spot to meet up with our son and his girlfriend. Service was great, food was delicious..... and the lobster mac was AMAZING! Full of chunks of lobster! Syberg's on Dorsett is one of our favorites! We drive almost two hours to eat there 🙂“

“My boyfriend and I ate here before our concert. The food was so good, and I’d never had coconut rice before going here, I absolutely loved it. Our server was so sweet, our drinks were never empty and she took great care of us. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d definitely come back here ☺️“

“Run here. It's delicious and service is great. The prices are also good. It was the best corned beef I have ever had. There were so many delicious menu options it was hard to choose. We will always stop here when traveling to my folks. Our server, Leah was super attentive and friendly too.“

“this was the best “bar food” ive had this quality of the food was well above bar standards. i jusf had a cheese buger which was alittle pricey when we looked at the menu but after getting our plate the size of the buger was great just hands down the beat buger ive ate out. well worth the price“

“Awesome food and service!!“

“Best salad I've EVER had! Friendly staff. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“The GF, Veg, and Vgn options are slim but not non-existent, there are a few mocktail options, and a few GF beers. Around 5 dessert options, nothing GF. Their sandwich and cocktail options are imaginative and unusual. Overall a very pleasant experience, the atmosphere is very good. The waitress Heather was VERY good at her job. She checked in with me just often enough, indulged my many questions, and was extremely kind. Heather if you read this, you are fantastic and you should be very proud of yourself, and of how you represent your company.“

“A hidden Gem. Great folks always Absolutely the best drink prices“
