Some reviewers referred to it as a dive, but it's definitely a step above it. I only had cheese curds but it does have a full menu. They also have a wide selection of drafts, but it's 95% local/big names, not really my game. For drinks, I had a draft ($5) and a nice/strong jack/coke ($8). They do charge a bit extra if you pay with a card. Don't be afraid of the $10 parking charge sign for parking outside, no need to pay for parking if you are coming to the bar. read more

I met my friend on a late Sunday afternoon. The bar area was busy with families from events, and some young children. I was able to scoot into a corner of bar seats waiting on my friend. A short wait for menus and to scour drink menu. I went with pomegranate cosmo, unfortunately it lacked presentation due to shortage of appropriate glassware. Server was apologetic, taste was pleasant but strong and lacking garnish. My friend just ordered a light draft and we ordered Reuben egg rolls to share. Best Reuben egg rolls I have had in the Cuse! Tons of tender corned beef, and just a hint of sauerkraut and Swiss served with thousands island dressing! I ordered an extra for take out for my Irish man at home and short rib tacos. Those did not keep well for take out, more meat and toppings would improve the continuity compared to tortillas. Service excellent, frequently checked upon for refills and food order. Prompt delivery and friendly service! Great place for meetups with a pub sports bar atmosphere. I'm not sure I noticed remanence of the prior press room. Many televisions great for sport events. Menu is simple and pub oriented. read more

Really fun stop, named after being in an old newspaper building. Sports bar vibe through and through. Came in for dinner and some NCAA tournament. Mix of families early, then some younger groups. The food is plentiful. The burgers and Rueben are big enough to split. Both are excellent. The wings came out great. Same with the poutine. Great fries. Service was fantastic. ! read more

They have good pool tables and gaming area in a room behind the main bar and seating area is. I just happened to go when they were having a memorial service for someone after a funeral and it was a bit awkward but they still let me use the pool tables and everybody was really nice, and friendly. read more

Just terrible food preparation and freshness and expensive for what it is. Get a beer there but don't eat there. read more

Ordered Delivery which we all know challenges the integrity of the food and yet we were super happy with everything we ordered! PressRoom Pub served us a delicious buffalo wrap, chipotle chicken sandwich and salad. What was most impressive was the seasoning on the fries, both the cajun and garlic parm and the chicken on all 3 items. The chicken was melt in your mouth good in all 3 dishes and that blew us away. The one thing we didn't love was the falafel in the salad, odd flavor and to be fair falafel that sits too long rarely has a chance. And it was just a small portion of it. We are excited to go and sit down at some point. When delivery is this good, usually the sit down is twice as nice! Enjoy! read more

My wife and I stopped by today for a day date. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the burger was amazing. Give it a shot.

Generic sports pub. Wouldn't recommend the food. Wouldn't recommend the drinks. Wouldn't recommend the beers. You know that crappy dive bar you hang out at? It's like a brighter version of that read more

Wonderful vibes. Wonderful food. Wonderful staff. Great management. Clean environment.

It's a huge place, but it does have that hometown bar vibe in every area. I've been here for birthdays, corporate gatherings, and even just to hang out and watch the game. It's a great convenient spot that always works. The food is good, especially for this type of bar. Service isn't super quick, but good enough. read more

We went on a whim I will say the service was stellar on point. The salad was lacking everything else was delicious including our drinks . The atmosphere was cool great vibe and seemed to to a moderate amount of business. Plenty of parking and open on a Sunday which is a huge plus so I bay cone again and avoid the side salad. read more

Would not accept out of state ID's or military ID. Very rude bartender made a scene for no reason.

Stopped in to watch the Buffalo football game. Great bar food. Great atmosphere. Service was a little slow but to be expected with the games on. read more

This place was okay. I give it two stars for the space and atmosphere. This would be a great place to watch an SU game. The food, drinks and service were okay though. I would come by if there was an event. I wouldn't come for dinner again though. I ordered the BLT. It was okay, not the best one I've had. It was super messy and kept falling apart. There was way too much on the super thin roll. read more

This place is loud and large. They offer heaps of beers on tap and different kind of bar food. I didn't eat anything but their nachos, burgers and fried chicken fingers looked amazing! This is a great place to watch a football game or bring a large crowd or even a date. They have outdoor seating, a few different rooms for progeny events if needed and a parking area. I just came here for drinks. The service was friendly and fast. The vibe is solid and in a location close to other hip places to visit in the city. read more

The Press Room Pub is spacious and good for events. I take 1 star off because it used to be more sports oriented (especially Syracuse and Pittsburgh sports) and since they remodeled it doesn't seem like a sports bar. Sometimes the wait time to get a drink can be a little long but this doesn't happen frequently. Food doesn't blow me away but it's good. read more

1st time at the Pub! We ordered loaded salt potatoes, French onion soup, and a chipotle chicken panini. All dee-lish except for the sweet potato fries! Heard it was their signature thing, but it wasn't for me. Dipped it in their special sauce and it tasted like French toast and syrup. Not dipped they were ok. If you like sweet, this is for you! Just my preference. Everything else was great, and the bartender was spot on. ( Sat at the bar ). We would definitely return. Great atmosphere for watching football on a Sunday! Check em out! read more

Bartender was not interested in doing her job. She asked me what would I like in my martini. No one came to take our food order. Your menu sucks. Your service sucks. So we left and went to dinosaur bbq. For fast friendly service. read more

We had a corporate function at PressRoom Pub last night! The buffet presentation was great, our food was fantastic, and the service was efficient and friendly!! We told the owner that the chicken riggies were the best we've ever had! The overall atmosphere of this establishment was perfect and the separate room for our group was great. Overall, we give this place a 10!! (Sorry I didn't take a picture of the food) read more

Syracuse has one heck of a night life, but sometimes when it comes to getting good food and drinks, it can be challenging due to the lack of parking and the madness of the night scene. This is one thing you don't need to worry about here as they have ample parking so you don't ever have to stress about that. Both the inside and outside vibe are fantastic as well. I would have loved to have come here more during the summer nights. Once you get inside there is plenty of seating for both small and large groups and wherever you sit you will be able to see the game on one of their larger screens. They have a huge menu of different delicious options, but I highly recommend checking out there specials board. They always have some awesomely unique items on it. The main feedback I will give them on the menu is that they absolutely must get tomato soup if they are going to serve grilled cheese. It's like having cereal without milk! I didn't order it for that reason alone. Heck even Campbell's from a can works fine. The service is also fantastic here. You'll be greeted pretty fast and your server will continue to make sure you have a great experience from start to finish. My last suggestion is to maybe laminate the menus. A lot of dirty hands out there and the paper passes those germs easily. That's just a super small complaint though. All and all I highly recommend coming here. read more

We hosted our high school class reunion at the PressRoom Pub and absolutely LOVED our experience. The food was absolutely delicious (the "riggie" pasta was creamy and amazing!) and very well presented. The staff were incredibly attentive and the owner was kind and accommodating. Looking forward to going there again for just a regular night out. Highly recommend! read more

Had a great time here, just what I needed. Wanted a place with food options to watch the 49er playoff game. Didn't realize that it was also at the same time as the Syracuse / Virginia game for which most to the room was watching. Still felt very welcomed and accommodated for the game I came to see. Very large wings and tasty loaded fries. Large, lively, loud with plenty of TVs, vast menu of food options and full bar. My only call out was that instead of being presented with a traditional paper bill, I was shown the total on a hand held device and ask to pay on the spot. Would go back for the next big game. read more

12/8/21 Wednesday. Dinner with friends. 3 burgers. 2 were beyond medium rare but still good. Chips were good. My White garlic pizza with sausage, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. Excellent! Very good service! They have a very good selection of beer. The music videos were a bit distracting. read more

We love the Press Room Pub! Always great food! Pleasant staff working hard. We haven't been in awhile so will have to plan a visit!

When we were up in Syracuse for a college visit we really tried to find some tasty places to eat and found lots of success. Right before we left town we wanted to stop in for one last meal and The Press Room Pub was the where Yelp sent us. The place was pretty empty when we got there, but our waitress was great...clearly she knew the menu and took the time to talk to us about the area and even some of the other restaurants. I ordered an Ommegang and Wifey just had an iced tea (she was driving home). My son wanted the hot pretzels to start and also ordered wings for his meal. My wife got one of their special wraps (salmon I think) and I had my third burger in two days...the Smokehouse burger - a 1/2 pound angus patty with BBQ, Sautéed onions, Bacon, & Swiss Cheese on a Bakery Roll, w/ fries. The burger was AWESOME and my son and Wifey also really liked their meals. My son likes his wings well done and they came out perfectly. The whole meal was a hit and if my son ends up at Syracuse I KNOW he'll spend time in this place. Food was too good to not go back. read more

I've been to PressRoom Pub a dozen or so times. Usually for Happy Hour, sometimes I grab some food. I really like the environment, the drink prices are affordable and it's centrally located right in downtown Syracuse. They also have a lot of parking available. If you just want a drink or a quick bite to eat that's pretty good, check this place out. read more

Great food, pool tables!, and great place to bring the family! Probably best to bring a little bit older kids, who like to play pool!

Bomb! Came here st pattys say and had lots of beer and lots of food. The pizza is incredible. The mango habanero wings are delish. The server/bartender was friendly and accurate. I think he is the owner. Not sure but either way this place is cool as hell! Good covid safety measures in place also. I will be coming back!!! read more

This place get 3 stars because the bartender was amazing and ambiance of this place is great...lots of TV's and a really extensive craft beer selection. The food on the other hand, left a lot to be desired...had a Buffalo wrap that 1/2 was not even wrapped...dried out chicken and cold fries...also had 2 burgers...one came out completely wrong and again the fries were cold...I assume the food was up and died at the pass...won't go back to eat...will go back to have a pint or two... read more

Our "Happy Hour Club" was welcomed this time with great hospitality and a wonderful staff. Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

The maple bourbon wings are to die for! The sweet potato fries and Buffalo chicken wing dip were delicious as well and very filling. Great atmosphere and service. So cheap too! My entire meal with a drink was only $15 read more

So happy they are back open. Enjoyed a night with the family over pretzels, PB&J wings (off menu) and Mac and cheese. A big thank you to the chef for coming through with the PB&J wings despite being off menu. The staff here are wonderful and loving every moment of the evening. read more

I stopped in after work for a drink. Wow beautiful restaurant/bar! They were getting ready to set up for corn hole games while we were there. They have all NYS beer (labatt too) as well as a variety of mixed drinks. You can get a flight for $5.00. The menu looked amazing, but I didn't get a chance to try it. (Hence why only 4 star review). The staff were very nice and helpful. They pointed out the custom tables and the original parts of the building that were kept. The prices seemed reasonable and I saw a salad that looked good. Check out menu photos. Huge bonus.. FREE lot parking in SYRACUSE I will be back and recommend to all. read more

Fun location good food plenty of televisions to watch games. Servers were friendly and attentive

Love this new space! Free parking, plenty of room, and a cool, relaxed vibe that is a great addition to Syracuse! Food is reasonably priced. I got the special of the day, which was a fried clam sandwich with spicy sausage- very good and interesting! Portions are large and the service was good. I wouldn't hesitate coming back here. I have heard that their roast beef Au jus sandwich is amazing, so I have a reason to return. read more

First, the sweet potato fries with the maple dipping sauce are AMAZING! If you don't get these, you are seriously missing out! The Buffacuse sauce for wings is also super yum! Lots of TVs so this is a great place to watch a game. The limited menu is great but they are working on expanding it since they just reopened (new owner is awesome and has made some nice changes to the space). They have a nice selection of beer on tap, skilled mixologists on staff, and attentive waitstaff. We will definitely visit again when we are back in the area! read more

Once again double charged for tip on my credit card. Will never go back again. Food was delicious so if your paying in cash probably will be better of an experience read more

The pressroom pub offers some of the best burgers in town! The food is great, the service is knowledgeable and fast, and the ambience harkens back to yesteryear with a beautiful bar and dining area, both inside and out that reminds me of some thing from days gone by. if you're looking for a wonderful experience, then visit the pressroom pub. read more

Met up with a friend here to watch football. NFL RedZone and the national broadcast games were on large TVs. All of their food looked great and my burger and salt potatoes were both very tasty. If you are lucky enough to visit, be sure to meet up with Meadow the bar tender. She may be small in stature, but she is HUGE on service and attitude!!! read more
