An authentic Irish pub with a leprechaun door next to the regular door. It holds an appeal for all ages. This place has a full menu as well as a bar. It is known for its participation in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade [51] and festivities. If you are in Syracuse on St. Patrick’s Day be sure to come here and try the green beer. It is in the Tipperary Hill neighborhood near the only inverted street light in the country with the green light at the top and red at the bottom.

69 beers on draft at all times, an always changing selection. Full menu all day as well as $2 beer specials from open to close.

Heid's is known for two things: long lines and the hot dogs that are responsible for those long lines. Ordering is simple: anything that isn't a hot dog or a coney gets ordered first after you get in the door, including their delicious grilled cheeses and super-thick milk shakes; at the end, once you get to the cash register, you simply order how many hot dogs and coneys you'd like. If the retro-style of the restaurant isn't to your liking, you can always cross the street and sit by Onondaga Lake.

An American bistro setting.

The biggest deli sandwiches around and a friendly mom and pop feel have created an almost cult following to this little sandwich shop. Open until 9PM every day except Sunday.

Nice and original Italian food, great wine list, and friendly service. Can be a bit expensive but worth every cent.

Established in 1991 this well known micro-brewery and restaurant has several micro-brews but also an extensive list of other beers and a full dinner menu. Be on the lookout for live entertainment at this popular venue.

Great Thai food in a formal but not snobbish atmosphere. Pad Thai is fantastic as is the Green Curry.
