Pros:
- Free pizza and wings during Wed and Fri happy hours
- Live acoustic cover bands
- Proximity to SU campus, Marshall Street, etc
- An escape from the rowdy college bar scene (if you're not in the mood)
- Pool table!
Cons:
- Friday night cover for non-hotel guests
- Not as cheap as nearby bars
- It's a hotel bar, so beware of creepy guests
Verdict:
Although the pricier brews and $2 cover detracts many students from the Friday night happy hour, the free pizza and wings are too good to pass up. I recommend taking advantage of the buffet, live tunes and the cheapest pitcher before heading to more exciting parts of town.
the best free pizza and wings in syracuse. minimal atmosphere, and usually very packed from 5-7 on friday nights. $5 miller lite pitchers. waitress service for drinks adds a touch of class.
i highly advise going on wednesday nights as opposed to fridays - same free food and a live cover band! however, pitchers are $8 as opposed to $5 - but the ability to get to the food without having to fight or wait in line is well worth it.
as nick k. said, fill up at this sheraton bar on a friday night, then move along to chuck's to take advantage of $3.50 pitchers for the rest of the evening. wednesday nights, hit this up before going to flip night at faegan's.
