For the past 6 months, I've been attending a board game night held at the Ramada off of Carrier Circle. As a result, I've had 6 months of enjoying the food and drinks provided by the Ramada's in-house restaurant: Lucy's Lounge.
From what I can tell, each night the cook has a special that isn't on the menu and generally they are various comfort foods such as shepard's pie, cheesesteak pizza, or soups. The normal menu is typical bar food - burgers, salads, sandwiches, and the like but they do an excellent job with it. The food usually arrives lightning fast and portions are plentiful. The wings are excellent and don't miss the Philly or Chicken Cheese Steak - this thing is HUGE.
The lounge itself has plenty of seating and has the normal "bar" amenities - soft tip darts, pool table, and jukebox. They have recently started adding live music on the occasional Friday night which is nice.
Bartenders are friendly and you see a lot of the same faces working the bar. They will remember your drink and greet you by name. A lot of hotel bars/restaurants can be forgettable..but Lucy's makes a great name for itself in Syracuse if you're looking for a good spot to relax after work. read more
