10 Best Cocktail Bars in Syracuse

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!“
