This place is a Mecca for international beers, microbrews, hard ciders, malt beverages and wine coolers. If they don't have what you're looking for, they'll order it it you. I was ecstatic to find out they had 5 different GF beer brands as well as 4+ hard cider. New Planet (3 types), Redbridge, Greene's (3 types), Dogfish Ale's Tweason and Omission (2 types), all at reasonable prices. I can't get most of these in any of the supermarkets in a 40 mile radius. Wish I'd known about it sooner, but will definitely be back!

What to say about Red Sun that hasn't already been said- the restaurant is one of, if not, the best…read morethat Oswego has to offer. Fresh ingredients, delightful flavors, a curated menu and freshly made deserts! We have frequented this restaurant each time we are in town and truly. It never disappoints. From the appetizers to the main courses to the cocktails- Red Sun delivers. On our most recent outing I had the Pig and Swig pizza- fire roasted with pork sausage, broccoli, red onions, red pepper and mozzarella this was absolutely delicious! We shared the fire roasted wings too which were amazing! I had a cocktail- which sadly I cannot remember the name of but I do know that it has my favorite gin- Empress. Red Sun is one of the very few restaurants in Oswego to carry this delightful brand- and it makes me super happy! Laurie the owner, has been in business for quite a while in Oswego and also owns the delightful Port City Cafe right next door as well as the new and exciting Lorbird in Fulton- another amazing experience. We were so fortunate to meet and spend time chatting with her and let me say- this lady knows her stuff. Most inspiring is that she knows her customers and their tastes and she knows how to be successful! Red Sun is an absolute must when visiting Oswego- you won't be disappointed! It's an elevated experience that I truly hope will inspire other establishments to rise to!

With all of that going for it, the main reason it gets 5 stars is the waitstaff. They are professional but also warm and friendly. They treat everyone kindly like family.

The ladies running the establishment are friendly and great service! The Cousins Lobster Truck was on site this visit and draws a good crowd. I ordered my beverage and brought to the back parking lot. The brewery was full, by the time we received our lobster orders plenty of seating to enjoy our food! First time I have sat at the bar and the stools are super heavy and on a spring, you can bounce around. They have a shop where you can purchase Freight Yard Gear and host a plethora of fun events!

It was my first time here, we came to see my husband's cousin play out. It's a cute and fun place,…read morethere's plenty of outdoor seating and they have patio heaters so you can still enjoy without freezing your butt off lol. Also a tent section. The inside was cozy and decent amount of seating. I saw a few people playing card/board games, it seems like a great place to come and wind down. I'm not a huge beer drinker but wanted to try what they offered here. I opted for the flight and you can select from beer and cider(4/$12). They were great, I opted for two of theirs they brew and two guests brewery they showcase. I enjoyed all, I tend to lean towards fruit base beers lol. The price and size of samples were plenty for me. They don't have a kitchen but we came when Cousin's Maine Lobster truck was there. My husband ordered some Shrimp Tacos and Tots. It looks like they have food trucks available when possible. Overall we'll definitely come back and recommend it friends.

I must start off by saying, I've been providing honest objective reviews for many years; about 2…read moreyears in I was promoted to an elite reviewer for that reason. This is the most bizarre experience ever. On or around March 9 in the early evening my wife and I go into Liquor City just to buy a bottle of rum; Cashier starts to ring it up, I swipe my credit card, screen says Approved, then the cashier tells me the register computer "froze" and I need to go to a different register :/ but a nice young Lady comes and advises to come her register, and she rings me up. Right after I swipe my credit card and it gets Approved again, the first cashier comes over and says stop, you have to scan this void receipt first or it will mess up the system, so then she voids my order, scans the void receipt then her computer freezes W T H Then the first cashier tells her something like she should have known better, and walks away to get the manager or something- at this point I felt like enough was enough, keep your rum and make sure I dont get charged. I'm intentually leaving out details because its not my job to audit their staff or procedures (so dont tell me to "get my facts straight" because I'm not going for perfect accuracy just telling what happened to me a couple weeks ago when I had the chance to do it i.e. do not ask me their names) I'm giving 2 stars because previous experiences were good, so you all have at least a 1 in 10 chance - however they certainly won't see me again

The beer battered fish yummy, NOT greasy and the batter did not suffocate the fish like many do. Unfortunately they ran out of French fries the side with the fish ( they hand cut them) we were disappointed but settled on the mashed potatoes. Let me just say I'll order the mashed potatoes all night long. They were fantastic!!! The service (Chrissy) was attentive and very accommodating without a hint of frustration. The atmosphere was so nice. While the place was busy we felt like we were having a private party. We will absolutely come again. Thank 197

Excellent service, excellent food, nice atmosphere. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the catfish sandwich, but I also had 1/2 of my wife's Croque Madame. That was awesome!

Friday is the burger special, it has beef and brisket and is juicy and delicious. The bun is always nicely toasted and it comes with cheese, lettuce, onion and tomatoes and fries. The fries are hot and crispy but there was a bit too much salt ( for me), so next time I'll remember to ask for no salt. My friend had no problem with the salt. My friend ordered the soup of the day which was Corn Chowder with Shrimp. It sounded good but I know if I have soup, I can't finish lunch. As soon as they brought out the soup and I had just a spoonful..... I had to get a bowl. Plenty of shrimp and corn , lots of flavor and it was smooth and light and delicious. I am not a fan of chowders that are thick as "pudding". We didn't have any drinks this time, but they have an amazing list of ciders, ales, beers on tap. Their own distilled spirits are excellent as well. Service is always good!

Plenty of seating outdoors as well with full table service. They do offer live music on select evenings as well. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and provided menus with wine tasting options or by the glass. They do offer a selection of local brews as well. We chose a table indoors, service was attentive. I had a four pour wine tasting, the dry Riesling was my favorite. Though listed as dry it is very smooth and just the right balance between dry and sweet without any aftertaste. I purchased a bottle of that for $23 and tasting $12. They have a pizza food truck onsite and local cheeses that can be purchased. The Garlic and Herb Yogurt Cheese from Buttercup cheese was a creamy delight! Definitely a great stop if you are in the area or taking a Drive around Oneida Lake!
