This is such a great hometown feel dive bar that I have been coming to since coming to Syracuse. The wings are the best I've ever had!! Definitely a must try.

The chicken is excellent. The atmosphere is a diverse, casual ,laid back funk. Local musicians tend to stop through and some nights they have open mic ? . Come as you are all are welcomed type of place.

The clientele is diverse. Atmosphere is different every time we go. Great place for chicken wings, live music, and people watching.

Went for open mic. Got there at 6:30, put name on list. We’re 14th in line. Waited all night, listening to all different kinds of music. Each band played about 5-6 songs. At around 11:30pm, after waiting 5 hours the band that was “13th” on the list was up. They played until about 11:50. Then they started to pack up. We said we didn’t get to go on and asked to just play 1 song. In turn they yelled at us saying that they were done.I will not be returning to this establishment. Shame on the fellow rockers who run open mic and not allow everyone to participate. If you have a big sign up list, why don’t you limit bands to 3-4 songs instead of playing for 30 mins each.

Usually Stop for lunch with some great friends. Bartenders Kathy, Ryan & Jackie are the best. Great wings, and the upstate burger is the best.

Best wings in Syracuse! We love stopping in for the Salt & Pepper wings full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The garlic Parmesan and Old Bay are winners as well actually any flavor will not disappoint. The bartenders are fabulous whether it's your first visit or 100th. Kathy is one of the best and takes excellent care of all patrons! They have live music most evenings.

Me and my wife visited this place in Syracuse and not only did the waiter not speak to her, no one let her know about her order. It seems like the environment was very racist and I would not recommend ANYONE of color go there.
