The food was also was very good, especially for bar food. The quesadillas, fries and cauliflower were all excellent. The quesadilla was very large and filled with generous amounts of cheese and meat. The only word of advice...they do not accept credit cards at the time I was there, but they do have an ATM.

Hey! Looking to get treated like crap at a bar that obviously thinks it's a lot more important…read morethan it really is? Feel it's not a complete night out unless you get ignored by the bartender for at least 10 minutes while she flirts with her boyfriend at the end of the bar? Want a place where the staff looks upon a large group of good-tipping regulars as an inconvenience that forces them to actually do their job? If you answered yes to the above questions than this is the place for you! But enough of the sarcasm. The Sting is a very standard bar. Decent layout, darts AND pool (who could ask for more?), nice-ish outdoor seating right along side a major street. What sets it apart is its service. For years a large group of people I worked for went to this bar every Sunday night, who knows why. We routinely put up with horrible service, mediocre prices and the lack of food or even bar-snacks out of a sense of inertia but when we found out the staff actively hated our presence (be careful who you talk to, Miss Bartender), that was it. I'll never go back to this place, nor will my coworkers, and, considering the vast number of alternatives in Oswego, I'd highly suggest all'y'all give this place a miss.

Owner Patrick Mitchell has worked in kitchens across the country, including the south, and brings…read moreboth a northern perspective and respect for the heritage of the cuisine. The restaurant on the corner of Bridge and West First Streets in the center of Oswego is probably not something you'd expect to find in the area, somewhere that adds an entirely different dimension to dining in the city - a showcase of cuisine inspired by the American south. We recently tried out Southern Fare with some friends and we were all extremely impressed with the restaurant. My wife and I got there a bit earlier than our friends, so we sat at the bar for a bit. As someone who doesn't drink, I'm always excited to see mocktails on the menu. My wife got a cocktail, I got a mocktail, we both loved the drinks and the bartender was extremely nice and personable. We made a reservation for 6PM on a Saturday, although it seemed we probably didn't need one this day, so when our friends showed up, we were sat right away. Our friends ordered cocktails, while we ordered another round for ourselves, and again, loved everything we got. We ordered some friend green tomatoes for an appetizer, which were a little bland, but the sauce was good and made up for it. We all ordered a different main dish and everyone was very happy with their food. I ordered a pork chop special - I love pork chops, but don't eat them often, as my wife isn't a fan, and pork chops can be difficult to cook properly. The dish was a lemon marinated pork chop, grilled, topped with a strawberry compote, crispy fried potatoes and roasted broccoli. The pork chop was huge, cooked perfectly, juicy, bursting with flavor. The broccoli and potatoes were also delicious and needed nothing added to them. It's probably one of the best meals I've had in CNY, period. It was a little bit higher priced, but it's what we expected, and the food was absolutely worth it. We will absolutely be back again.

The fried chicken, same.. we got it plain to try it the first time naked, but I would definitely sauce it next time.

I don't think they serve food. One thing you may want to know, there is one bathroom with one toilet on the first floor. There were a lot of people.
