This place is always a good time. Whether it is DJ Skeet or my favorite, DJ Mike, this place is always fantastic. The staff is incredible. We have been going enough that we know most of them pretty well now. The bouncers are super professional and take care of issues very quickly. I have seen them be verbally abused, and they just smile and take it. They don't have ridiculous egos like some of the bouncers from other bars and clubs close by.
I would 100% recommend stopping by this place if you are out and want to have fun!

Very racist bouncers. They said severely racial comments including calling people in line the n word. Before we decided not to enter the bar. Never seen such poor behavior in the service industry.

Benjamin's on Franklin: A Night to Remember
Benjamin's on Franklin in Syracuse is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun night out. The atmosphere is electric, thanks in large part to the talented DJ Gweedo. His music selection was on point, and he kept the dance floor packed all night.
The bar offers a wide variety of drinks to suit any taste, and the prices are reasonable. Whether you prefer cocktails, beer, or wine, you're sure to find something you'll enjoy.
If you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, head outside to the fire pit. It's a great place to socialize and enjoy the cool night air. There's also an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink without having to leave the fire pit.
Overall, Benjamin's is a fantastic spot for a night out in Syracuse. The music, the drinks, and the atmosphere are all top-notch. I highly recommend it!

Not a safe place for women. Security doesn’t care about anything but money at the door.

Can't say enough about this place, the owner and the manager of this place! I hosted a cocktail party with 60 people here on the weekend of Syracuse's graduation and they bent over backwards to help me make it great in every way, shape and form!! Great bar! Grat drinks!! Great outside area (when weather permits)! I highly recommend this place!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a good time at this place. Has gone so downhill as far as security and safety. Unprofessional behavior by staff has left a bad taste in my mouth. I had a better experience at TREX. Yes trex. Don’t waste your time..

Security is extremely unprofessional and hostile. They aggressively shove people out the bar 20 minutes before they close and did not let us close our tabs out while screaming in our faces. They tried picking a fight with the crowd. Bartender and DJ are fine but after spending $200 at the bar we didn’t expect to be shoved out before close. Cops had to get involved to separate crowd and security. We will be filing a formal complaint.

Music and vibes aren't good

Cute bar with outside seating as well as a separate dance floor area. We had a good time here the bartenders were nice and made delicious drinks, prices were decent. The 2 djs we saw had a very good mix of music compared to other dance clubs in the area who just play dubstep. The dance floor had good vibes people of all ages coming to dance and have fun together it was definitely an uplifting and free of criticism vibe good for a night out

I hate this place. Tonight the line for the women’s bathroom was out the door. I used and empty stall in the mens room quickly. When I finished and opened the door I was grabbed by a bouncer by the wrist and dragged out. A. There’s in adequate stalls supplied for women. B. what warranted this man to physically grab me without communicating to me. There were woman on the dance floor wearing no shirts, men molesting women on the dance floor unbothered, and I was kicked out for relieving myself in a private stall ? Horrible over priced drinks. Staff are Pompess children and inexperienced. Just down right hate this place. Prefer a more mature atmosphere.
