15 Best Cocktail Bars near Cicero

“Food is always great, drinks are always cold and the specialty drink menu is awesome, (if you can get me away from the dirty martini) 10/10 recommend any of the cheesecake desserts! This has been our Thursday night dinner spot all winter. Make that reservation, you will not be disappointed.“

“This place is great for a party or a watch party but eating there on the regular I feel isn’t the thing to do. Yes the food is good but it lacks most of the flavor of the names of the foods. The staff are respectful and kind. The atmosphere is very overwhelming and loud. Overall just another New York restaurant.“

“This restaurant is an absolute gem! The salads are fresh, crisp, and full of flavor, and the pizza and wings are simply amazing. The staff is always so kind and welcoming! Definitely one of my favs!“

“Great atmosphere. Great food. Great prices. A once of week kind of spot.“

“The atmosphere was cozy but could see this place being packed and crowded when it's not middle of winter and during school break (we visited early January) The cocktails where great and the bar staff knew their spirits. We were lucky to sit across from the food prep area which gave us the opportunity to watch and talk with Chef David. His menu is out of this world . The small Plate creations were absolutely phenomenal. You MUST try the tartare. We will def visit again next time we are in SYR and hope to sit in the same spot to talk with David.“

“Best place to have a party in event room. Maria is the best to work with. Responded very quickly to inquire of room for my father’s birthday celebration. Lots of choices for food and the pizza oven has a variety of tasty pizzas to choose from. Kim DeStefano was the best bartender, quick, efficient and exceptionally friendly. The event room was everything I wanted & could have imagined to celebrate my dad’s 80th. Highly recommend with working with Marie for any parties in the future. Thank you Maxwells for awesome food and venue. Cheers !!“

“I brought some out of town friends into Three Lives to check out the murals by local artists. Alex and Jon went WAY above and beyond to provide us with excellent drinks and service. This unique establishment raises the bar!“

“Food was fantastic, 10/10 recommend. Great prices for delicious food!“

“Last night’s wine pairing dinner was truly a 10/10 experience. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and comfortable. The chef absolutely blew me away each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly paired with wines that brought out every flavor. You could feel the passion behind every plate and every pour. And the people? Just amazing. Great conversations, great vibes, and an overall unforgettable evening. I left full, happy, and already looking forward to the next one!“

“Hometown pub that is always waiting to meet new people!“

“We love ECK! The food is full of flavor and creativity, the cocktails ( and mocktails ) are always unique.. plus that rooftop!? So cozy and effortlessly fun — with the best views and chill vibes. Whether we’re working with them on shoots or just grabbing dinner, it’s always a great experience. Shoutout to Michele, Nora, Sasha, and their amazing team... they make every visit feel special😍✨“

“The York….what can I say other than AMAZING!! This place is packed and well worth it! We ordered the Poutine to start and if I would have known it was this good, it would have been my meal! But nevertheless, I ordered a Filet Mignon with Mac and cheese and it was cooked med-rare to perfection! Mac and Cheese was also amazing! I included a photo of my colleague’s pasta dish (can’t remember the name) but it was also good! If you are in downtown Syracuse don’t sleep on this one, check out The York! You won’t be disappointed!“
