Got nothing to complain about this place. Great tap list, welcoming atmosphere, maybe a bit young, but not bad. Great location. Prices seemed decent. Good spot.

I loved the ambiance of this place, very comfortable, really nice beer selection, and very good food.

Was there the evening after a Syracuse basketball game that afternoon so this may be a bi off, but wow...crowded. Extremely loud, drunk college kids being, well, drunk college kids, no place to sit, and barely able to hear the person next to you. With that out of the way, the beer selection was quite nice. Had some of the local stuff on tap, some classic craft beer standbys, and a rarity here and there. Prices may have been a little high but I didn’t notice it too much. Had it not been so loud and crowded I would have wanted to stay longer but only had one. I would love to visit on a less crowded day to really get a handle on what it can be like.

This place has the greatest selection that I’ve found in syracuse. It’s a charming place but can get a bit crowded depending on the day. This is probably my favorite bar in the Armory Square area if you want to drink something unique.

I used to frequent this place daily when I lived in the ’cuse. If I miss anyplace on this planet it is the tusk. Great beer selection with a ton of rarities and the people working and sipping make it a visit in itself. can’t wait to go back soon.

Many taps with many hard to find regional as well as international beers. A truly impressive selection. A world class beer bar. Very nice, classy wooden bar. Very knowledgeable and friendly servers. Did not try the food, but it did not look that impressive. In combo with dinosaur bbq, syracuse becomes a beer destination! Prices are reasonable and the more expensive draft beers are offered as 5oz glasses as well for about half the pint price. fyi -- visited here in the early afternoon, so I had no problems with noise or crowds.

Great selection, decent food, way high prices! Still a place to go for hard to find tap beers.

This used to be THE premier beer bar in Syracuse, but now it is too loud, too expensive and just not what it used to be ... sigh. Still, it does have a lot going for it. A massive amount of taps from all over the nation, and in all different styles. The prices have gone way up, but if you look hard enough you can usually find a good bargain. The laminated beer list, however, is often out of date. The food is very good (my fave is the Chicken Tusk) and there is a lot of room to sit, especially during lunch time. It used to have a low-key hippie vibe, but in the last few years it has attracted more hipsters, with louder music, which makes it harder to hear your mates. It’s a must-visit if you come to Syracuse, just not quite what I wish it was anymore.
