Talking Cursive Brewing Company

Good beer, good food. Historic area. All plusses. Friendly service too

Great place to get a pint, and a good natured staff.

Stumbled onto this taproom on a quick trip to Syracuse. Absolutely worth the visit. The beer is exceptional - and this is coming from an old school beer nerd who spent the better part of his 20s and 30s making 12 hour cannonball runs to Hill Farmstead and the Alchemist back during the NE beer boom. The food is also top notch, especially the pub burger, but let's get back to the beer. The ESB was done exceptionally well. This is a huge tell for any brewery with the balls to offer an ESB on tap. It was the first thing I ordered and it was really well made.
The Sweet Potato Brown was also fantastic and nailed a style often too consumed with how much Starbucks PSL spice a brewery can add to a fall beer. Subtle spices seep out from a solid brown ale base.
The bottled American barleywine was also spot on - I would love to see what barrel aging could do to this slightly hoppy monster of beer. The guy next to me told me that this was the best brewery in Syracuse, and so far I can't disagree.

We were really well served by Candice.

Amazing beer, good food, and wonderful staff. Quite impressed! Keep doing great things!

Great variety of excellent beers - really enjoyed the Rhubarb Raspberry Pie, although my whole flight was good. The Mediterranean sampler platter was a great accompaniment, and the servers were great. Throughly enjoyed my visit!

Happened upon this place because I was obsessed with the Niagara Mohawk building. Excellent stout!

Good place to stop by if in the area. Off street parking. Wasn't busy on the Saturday afternoon we stopped by. Service, beer and food was good.

Great selection of local beers, plus good food

This is my favorite brewery! We especially love the events like flight night and boozy brunch. Highly recommend!

Stopped in at Talking Cursive with some friends on a road trip pit stop in Syracuse and unfortunately I left disappointed. The service was great - the staff was welcoming and friendly. Their site says they are woman and veteran-owned, which is awesome! I don't really drink, so I only had a 5oz glass of a tangerine beer, which was tasty. They do have an extensive list of beers to choose from.The food sadly was lack lustre. I ordered the cheese naan pizza and it was quite bland and basic. I've made better naan pizzas at home. As someone who doesn't eat beef, there were very limited entree options that didn't include beef (only 2 of 9). Even the soup/salad/rice options, there was only 1 of 3 options that don't include beef. Very limited vegetarian options available. Unfortunately probably wouldn't return to Talking Cursive if I found myself back in Syracuse.

Savory, festive St. Patty’s Day brunch ☘️?

Good beer. Friendly, helpful staff. Always attentive to gluten free needs.

Cider, cocktails, AND bacon wrapped pickle fries! All gluten free. And their extraordinary Sunday brunch. Reservations required.

We stopped in for the first time and were not disappointed! We grabbed a spot at the bar and were served immediately. El Tapache Loco was one of the best sours I've had in a long time! Thank you all!
