The parking is conveniently located just off the street and can accommodate the capacity of the establishment. The pub is on the smaller side, with only one pool table and not much else. Unfortunately, my experience was tainted when the bartender, Monique, asked me to leave for taking photos of the venue. It seems she is overly cautious, as I intended to write a positive review of the pub. However, I have significantly lowered my rating due to the treatment I received and the generous tips I had been leaving ($1 per $3 beer) prior to being asked to leave. It is disappointing that she is unfamiliar with platforms like Yelp or smartphones. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a favorable review due to her paranoia. It is important to remember that not everyone who is new is a threat.

There were 10 of us from Wisconsin, in town for a bowling tournament, and we all squeezed into the bar. The bartender did an excellent job of serving us drinks. Two of the locals, Erin and Gomez, were extremely friendly and gave us some recommendations of other local places to visit. It's exactly the type of bar I enjoy – no frills, just good times. I would have happily stayed there all night, but after three rounds of drinks, the group decided to explore more of Syracuse, so we all left to check out another spot on my list.
