10 Best Pubs near East Syracuse

“Went in hungry and loved everything I had. Got the pretzels, chicken tenders, and the Philly cheese steak. The pretzels were just perfect and the chicken tenders were as good as the bartender said they would be. The Philly cheese steak was wonderful and was just enough to fill me up. Will have to go back for the 10 dollar Wednesday burgers.“

“We went to an event at Barbagallos and we're totally impressed with the food, the service, and a great, private room that was just the right size. The gluten free offerings were so tasty! Antipasto, mixed veggies, potatoes, and sausage with peppers and onions. My favorite was the mixed veggie: cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots - perfectly cooked and not over seasoned. I couldn't eat the fried chicken but it did look crispy and tempting. Drinks included bottomless mimosas and a cola. The mimosas had real orange juice in them. I don't think they were stirred because the top layer was not carbonated but the bottom was. Either way it was delicious. We were able to decorate the room as we wished which was a big plus. Everyone had a wonderful time!“

“Hosted a professional Networking Part here for a local group. Maria and her staff were wonderful, they made everything so easy. The private event space is so spacious with a mix of high tops and tables. Food was wonderful and everything was seamless. We can't wait for next year to have our event here again!“

“If this place were open during better hours, I like to think I would have been here a dozen or more times. Their menu is full of unique, high quality offerings and everybody knows it. So many things I'd absolutely love to try, and some day I will. Every year we vow to try the candidates for the Best Burger contest from the NY Beef Council, and every year, time passes too fast, things come up, we don't have money to spend, or we just forget until it's all over. This year we finally got in front of it and tried the Crooked Birria burger for this year's contest, and threw in a Billy The Kid from the weekly special for good measure. I love everything Birria, and was super excited to see this burger coming from one of the best burger places around. I think maybe the excitement and high expectations might have tainted the experience, but it didn't seem to fit together as I had dreamt it. You can't really tell where the shreddy meat ends and the burger begins. I think it's seasoned with Indian spices, I would guess Garam Masala. Definitely a taste of cinnamon, and some other spices within that vicinity I don't have the literacy to pinpoint. The birria dipping sauce was extremely salty, and I liked the burger better without it. Loved the burger, loved the meat - crookedness and all - but the two things didn't really stack. Billy The Kid was actually the better of the two. Topped with an amazing pile of bacon, onion jam, goat cheese, and chipotle aioli sauce. Same top notch burger, same thick cut bacon we've seen on other burgers. Despite all the sauce, it was lacking in flavor until we added salt. The salt brought the flavor of the sauces to life and made this our favorite burger of the two. Before this, we hadn't been in since 2022... I think to try burgers that had won the previous year's contest. I wouldn't call them the best, but for sure on par with the other known greats in the city. If I could make it back, there are a slew of things on the menu I've been dying to try, but it's always been so long since I've been that I can't pull myself away from the burgers. Check their Facebook, because they do extend their hours for events and things but that also means it's going to be super busy.“

“Let's start with the atmosphere here. Beautiful lighting and non wobbly tables....great start. It's intimate....not small, but intimate. The service is.....pretty, pretty, pret-ty good. Seriously tho - tag team waitstaff is smart too the guest is never ledt looking for their waiter or waitress. And the food .... it is some of the best damn food in the greater Syracuse area. Best wings I've had in a few years folks and the specials are always changing and if you don't try it here, I can't be your friend and don't read my reviews anymore. Run. Don't walk to TDH Tavern. Had to wheel me out last time....damn!“

“Went there a few weeks ago on a Friday, specifically for the Cape Cod Reuben. The place is small but eclectic and fun. The staff was very friendly and had nice conversation with the bartender and some patrons while waiting for my sandwich. The poor girl behind the register was going a mile a minute but made sure to check my order before she handed it to me. The sandwich was excellent. I like that the slaw wasn't too sweet as to overpower the sandwich and the bite of the Swiss cheese complements the flavors. Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try more sandwiches.“

“A simple, slightly divey Irish pub with parking and ample tables. Great service and home-town atmosphere. I didn't get a chance to try the food but have heard good things.Parking: There is a side parking lot and street parking. If things are busy, parking may be tricky, but when I've been on a weeknight, it has been easy.“

“Fantastic food and drinks at great prices. If you have a good head for alcohol and want strong, well made drinks, the bartenders can't be beat. We had a birthday party there and all the other customers were so friendly and fun. It was a most memorable night.“

“Ate so quick I didn't have a chance to take a picture. Must go if you need/want a burger. For the price, it's a GREAT place to come grab food and have a drink (especially when it's nice outside and you can sit on the patio). Food service is quite fast even when the line is long. *only CASH but they do have an ATM ($2 fee).“

“Another over looked and under appreciated bar. From the outside you'd never know what a gem this place really is. I stopped in on a whim by meeting some out of the ordinary acquaintances but I will say what a blast. I happened to enjoy myself and my company quite well. The bartender was so friendly and made tremendous drinks. She was so welcoming I think I'll go back again very soon.“
