Gets kinda busy, can be hard to get a drink, they need another bartender. Kinda dingy inside and small; they have pretty good bands

Their frankenstein wings are my current favorite wings on the planet. One pool table, live entertainment 6/7 days a week, and a good beer selection. Parking gets weird sometimes but it's worth it!

Only been once, and was impressed. Wings were really good. Bartender wasn't bad, just needs to acknowledge when customers come up and let them know she will be with them. I get when you're busy or chatting with another customer, just don't let someone stand there forever wondering if your going to serve them or not.

Nice, ice cold beer to wash down the GIGANTIC Bavarian style pretzel. Mostly ALL the reviews praise the wings, I say NO FAIR FOLKS.?? The warm cheese dip, aarggghhhh, FAGETABOUTIT!!!! THE BOTTLED PBR was, and is, the coldest I've ever had and yes folks, I needed 3 to power through the pretzel by myself.... I know .....GLUTTON....?????????

Wings were highly recommended online but i would say they’re alright (i tried the hot and mild flavors) - what’s really good here is the pizza (never seen a pizza from a bar and grill before!) and deep fried mushrooms! just be careful bc the mushrooms are super hot so cut into it to release the steam and then enjoy!
Loved the music and choosing what we wanted to hear! Cathy is a great bartender who is super friendly, funny, and authentic. Looking forward to coming here again :)

Came for the wings and Shifty’s didn’t disappoint! Started with the traditional style (can’t quite bring ourselves to say Buffalo when in Syracuse!) available in mild, hot and extra hot. Hot hits the sweet spot for traditional wings. Perfectly crisp on the outside, juicy interior. Garlic parm was good, flaming mango were amazing! This is a dive bar with a loyal, local crowd. If that’s not your jam, this isn’t your place. But you’ll miss out on friendly staff and patrons happy to share the best of their town.

Nice place the bartender Jess was all over service. She gave me a chip which was really nice of her. My last time here was probably 45 years ago. RIP Paul Dwyer.
