I’m pregnant and my baby won’t allow me to eat anything. My baby, my 17 year old, and myself all agreed, it was amazing. Next I’ll be trying the oxtail bowl. I seen it and was so upset I didn’t buy both. Definitely worthy of being a reputable lunch stop. And thank you to Patrice for your wonderful service as well! ❤️“

Limerick Pub Bar • $

“My friend and I stopped in on a late Sunday afternoon. The bartender greeted us shortly after arriving, and helped us clear a spot at the bar. We had a round of beers. Sierra was super friendly as were many of the patrons. So a friendly atmosphere, old Irish pub vibe mindfully kept as is. They had just celebrated their 30th anniversary over the weekend and it sounds like a place that is good to patrons and their staff. Spacious for gatherings and have two pool tables and dart boards. They do not serve food so don't come hungry but good for some drinks and socializing. I can definitely see this establishment being a Cheers situation as they make you feel welcome even for new patrons.“

“Cerios is hands down one of the best establisments in Syracuse. The atmosphere and crowd are welcoming, friendly and down to earth. The owner is a great person who also works quite a few of the day shifts behind the bar. It became a regular spot of mine that I have happily spent my afternoons and evenings time and time again after my first few initial visits. All of the bartenders save for one specific (short) individual that other reviews mention are very attentive and will easily recognize you and treat you with respect and make you feel like you are a regular patron who has visited before. You will not find a better bar on the Northside.“

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar, don't even try unless you're over 21, with proper legal ID

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a single Small Step Up to get in, not horribly difficult to navigate for some, but I wouldn't recommend trying it without help, or coming with a large or heavy chair, that cannot navigate a change in height.“
