I was in Syracuse for the night because of a shopping trip with family and we decided to come to Empire Brewing Company due to it's appearance on Diners Drive Ins and Dives... and we were not dissapointed! We arrived around 9 for dinner and to wait an hour to be seated but it wasnt an issue since we got... More

We haven't been to Empire Brewing in a very long time and thought that we'd give it a try to see if it was any better than what we remembered. Unfortunately it wasn't very good at all. We decided to go with two different fajita dishes, and wanted to start with chips and dip. The chips were $3...no salsa at... More

My wife and I have eaten here a few times over the years; it's a nice place in the Armory Square area of downtown, and has always been a good choice. We had lunch again there recently, and the experience was nicer than I remembered. The restaurant is in the basement of an older building, but the decor is nicely... More

We stopped in for a drink on a Sunday afternoon. No events going on at Syracuse University so the place as well as the area was relatively quiet. There were two bartenders working the bar, a male and a female. We took a high-top table in the bar area. My wife waited at the table and I easily walked to... More

We stopped in on our way home from Utica. Loved it from the moment we walked in the door! Good food. It's 148p in the afternoon and this place is where you need to be. Live music until 230p and the buzz of the crowd add to the atmosphere that is already filling with the smells of food cooking.

Unfortunately--in this context--more people showed up than we had expected. OK--this put a strain on the restaurant. One of our members, trying to be improve matters, started to move an empty table towards our table in... More

With Los Blancos playing a breakfast set that lulls you into embracing life, the goal of having the perfect Sunday was almost met! The comforts of lobster bisque and blue corn bread made me so happy/content/in-love-with-the-world/ mellow, we stayed for 3 hours and only left then to make another appointment. We also had the burrito (sheer perfection).....the only complaint is... More

I really enjoyed this place. I was there on a Friday night so the place was hopping. The beers I tried were good although none of them blew me away. However, the food was excellent! I had the chili with blue corn bread. The portion was really good, the food was served hot, the chili had a bunch of great... More

I absolutely love this place!! The food is wonderful and the beer is excellent. It is right downtown!
