Pretty good burgers if I must say so myself ! Would definitely buy them again . We got the bacon cheese burger and a buffalo chicken wrap .. both very good . Only reason I took a star off is that the fries tasted a little bit like a freezer if that makes sense. Portions were good and the burger was big ! read more

Great wings, great white garlic pizza pie, plus amazing can special for a Saturday night ($2.50 Miller Lites!! ) Service was great, quality Binghamton classic read more

I loved the buffalo chicken sandwhich and fries. The drinks were strong and the service was decent.

Gave it another shot. Decided we wanted some pizza, and surprisingly there aren't many places that deliver. Got pepperoni, mushroom, and onion; but it came without pepperoni. Otherwise decent pizza. Ordered the carolina gold wings, and the sauce is delicious. Will definitely order the wings again, and since the burgers were good last time, might go with that again. read more

While here visiting I enjoyed some great wings and onion rings. I had the garlic parmigiana and the hot wings. Super delicious and reasonably priced. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a sports bar with lots of locals. If you are out and about, give them a try! read more

I don't come here often enough but I may have found my new favorite burger spot. I did chuckle when I saw the photo for their website menu. If you eat your burger with an extended pinkie, I can't sit at your table. I will be all-in with the Buffalo Bleu Burger (plus bacon please) - dipped in wing sauce and topped with bleu cheese (no lettuce please but thanks for the offer) - and I will have sauce up to my elbows. Outstanding flavor on a just right burger YUM!!!! It is easily the messiest thing that I have eaten in a while... and one of the best. I decided to take the fries home before I even started but they would have been remarkable dredged in the drippings. Josh and Mondavi cab splits are available. Big garage bay door opens to outside providing plenty of air circulation in a COVID world. My only regret? Needs wet-wipes. Likely by the case! read more

The Relief Pitcher - Buffalo Bleu Burger - you are going to need extra napkins! - Sports Bars Near Me - Binghamton, New York

Great food and atmosphere! They have some of the best wings around. I highly recommend the pizza, quesadillas, burgers, rice bowls, and salads. They have outdoor seating, a huge banquet room, and a golf simulator! There are lots of TVs and plenty of seating. The Relief Pitcher is an awesome place for lunch or dinner with the family or a night out with friends! read more

For it's targeted purpose, The Relief Pitcher has scored a bullseye. As you may have gleaned from the name, it's a sports bar. Not my usual preference for a relaxing afternoon cocktail, but we were meeting relatives who consider it their "local." Of course there are TVs aplenty, dress for patrons and staff is super casual, and the atmosphere is as relaxing as it come. Wait staff were busy but still cordial and gregarious. The drinks were served promptly and in generous portions. The conversation lasted for over three hours, but we never felt pressured or rushed. When it came time for dinner we all ordered our favorites from the menu. The couple we'd joined ordered rice bowls. One with chicken, one with beef. Meg ordered the Ribeye Steak sandwich with fries, and I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with chips. Everyone said their choices were delicious, and they were pleased with the generous portions. I know we'll be returning to The Relief Pitcher. I recommend that others looking for a relaxing cocktail, casual meal, or a neighborhood "local" to hang out in, give it a shot. read more

Didn't have good experience left due to lousy service, Bartender stated if I didn't like the service I could leave also threatening violence owner watched and did nothing so I'll assume this is normal. Bartender was a bald older gentleman ide say late 50s . We left without getting our food or finishing drinks I'll never go back when a owner of a business watches a employee threatening a customer and does nothing it says alot about the place I'm not a regular there and never met Bartender in my life, I was floored read more

What a great stop!!! Heading home from the south... wanted to stop and watch some NFL... great food... great service!!

Horrible experience I would not recommend this place to anyone. Service was real bad...waited for awhile before even anyone came near our table...was not busy at all. So no excuse there....then when finally someone came it was can I get you a drink...and that took along time...then we kept getting different waitresses. Food was very greasy. On top of that...they said AFTER giving our bill, they don't take credit cards for under $15.00 that became a issue, the bill for each of us was under 15.00. I asked to talk with the manager/owner. They gave me a hard time about that...I said ok I will call tomorrow....they went out back to get said owner.( Tamera) I think her name is..she was unruly I made a suggest to tell people ahead of time instead of after about the 15.00 issue she said there were signs up all over....but no one found one. She got all up in my face...was very rude and called me a real nasty word that was so disgusting....especially to another women! She was so extremely rude and not a customer friendly person at all. Even her own employ was trying to get her away from me. To be honest don't know how I didn't lose my cool. I would not go there again a place like this not even be open. read more

Ok joint, nothing special. A sports bar should offer cold beer, and neither of the two different ones I tried were cold enough. Charging extra for onions on a cheesesteak was unusual. Our pregnant waitress was terrific, though. And what's up with a roll of paper towels on the table, is this a Bingo thing? My sliders were ok, fries meh. I guess I don't usually like strip mall dining. read more

Normally I wouldn't rate a place 5 stars considering the circumstances that surround this review. I'll start with the fact that this pie made Digornio look like a 5 star restaurant. Was just trying to get a hammer pie from a place that is pretty reputable with their food. Overal texture of this pie was like chewing on an expired Goodyear tire. Tasted like they spread a bottle of old Ragu across it. There was a hole big enough to fit any respectable mans bird through. Still hammered the whole pie, but bitched the whole time. Overall 1/10 score to be generous read more

The Relief Pitcher - Sports Bars Near Me - Binghamton, New York

The best spot in town! I don't go anywhere else. Never a bad experience. The workers and owner treat you like family.

Always great food and George never disappoints with his specials. I love their wings!! Beer cold too!!

Used to be one of my favorites. I don't go out as much anymore so it's a real treat to go to the R.P. for a drink and a bite to eat. We dropped by Sunday evening and I was served the most disgusting meal I've ever seen. My cheeseburger looked like it was cooked entirely in the microwave. Bun was shriveled up like a prune, beef looked and tasted like shoe leather and the cheese was so entirely melted it was nearly non existent. Never again Relief Pitcher. read more

The new menu is amazing!! So many options, it's so hard to choose. You can tell the owner took a lot of time planning it. I ordered a pretzel with beer cheese app and a buffalo chicken quesadilla, and they were both delicious! Pizza fritte for dessert, yummmmmmm. Drink menu was big too, I love the new High Noon vodka/soda cans and they carry my favorite cider, Awestruck hibiscus ginger. The service was great, even the owner came to check on us! She's wonderful! Highly recommend this place! Will be back often!! read more

The Relief Pitcher - Pizza Fritte and Awestruck cider! - Sports Bars Near Me - Binghamton, New York

Steady down-hill path since original ownership change. Kids not bar-tenders, no formal training, no sense of immediacy, in short, no clue. 12 months from failure.. read more

My husband and I went there this afternoon to watch the Eagles game on their NFL package. The bartender was very attentive and changed the channel so we could watch the game that we wanted to see. Then we ordered pizza, it was delicious one of the best pizzas that I've had , we will return. read more

Visiting for the weekend. The kids like the wings here, but I have had so much better elsewhere. Seated ourselves in a booth in front of a large tv to watch the NCAA tournament. That was good. Server came over right away and took our order. Got out drinks right away, but our friend took forever. We ordered 3 sets of buffalo wings, expecting the non-breaded kind as we only ordered "buffalo wings", but it came breaded. We hate breaded. I didn't really like the food. I didn't find the place very clean. I'm hoping that they don't bring me back here again on my future visits. Wish they had a Wing Stop in this town. read more

This place has very many loyal fans....not sure why. First of all, I'm not going to trash this place, because I don't have anything awful to say about it. (OK, sometimes there's a horrible chemical smell from a business next door). My problem with this place is that there's absolutely nothing above average, in any sense, about anything here. FOOD: Bleh. Uninteresting, greasy, sub-par bar food. Prices are reasonable. BEER: Bleh. Nothing but swill on tap. (No...Amber Bock does not qualify as a craft beer.) DECOR: Bleh: Oakey furniture that inspires nothing but boredom. Generic atmosphere in every way. SERVICE: Bleh. Never had bad service. Don't remember good service. A little slow at times. CLIENTELE: Locals who are fans of the place for some reason. OVERALL: Can't say this place is "A-Ok" three stars, so it gets two stars. read more

Amazing food... very friendly service!! HIGHLY recommend!! The wings, pizza and burgers are to die for!!

The Relief Pitcher is one of my go to favorite lunch spots. Service is always great and the food is good as well. I often have lunch meetings here because of the consistency. read more

Ok, I returned to give them another chance at their fried foods. This time it was their fried chicken wing which I chose BBQ Style. They were delicious. Perhaps the meal that I had before was a fluke, and I still would refrain from a wrap. Therefore, I have elevated my review from three stars to 4. This is a decent place, with a fair menu, a friendly atmosphere, and has many smiling faces. read more

This place is not impressive. We had ordered French fries and a burger. The burger was suppose to be well done and It was far from it. Half cooked and red. The fries we ordered were not even cooked. They had a wet texture and me and my mom couldn't even finish the mouthful. Can be sweet service but overall I am not coming back to Relief pitcher until they actually cook their food read more

We used to really enjoy coming here but since the delivery started it takes over an hour to get food once ordered and the service is not up to par to what we are used to in the past. read more

Great salads and quesadillas...cold beer too. It's worth the stop. I hear that ownership has changed to a past employee...congratulations!

A lot of non-yelpers must go to this bar being that it was packed!(granted it was a Friday evening around 6PM) Yet, we only had a 10 minute wait for a table. For our meals, I got a chicken club sandwich and my girlfriend got crispy chicken strips and fries. Both were excellent and reasonably priced!! There was plenty of food to choose from. The beers were only $2.50 too. Looking forward to going here again and trying something new. read more

When I lived in Bingo, I only visited the Pitcher a small handful of times. I would have to reason that this was due to the fact that the Pitcher was the opposite direction from most of the other places my friends wanted to eat and drink. I don't recall a time when I had to wait for seating. I don't recall a time when I was disappointed by the quality of food or service. And I don't remember a time when I wasn't happy with pricing. Honestly, this lace is a very run of the mill, low key sports bar. If you are looking for a place to get together with friends and watch whatever the most "important" game on TV is (they really don't have that many screens from what I remember) then you need to check this place out. read more

Over priced wings...waited over an hour for our food...then nothing off 60+ bill for three people....not going back, customer for 20+ years... read more

One of my all time favorite places for wings. Solid quality every time. Wish we had one of these in Memphis. Until next time Relief!

We've tried this place several times and either it's a hit or a big miss - very inconsistent. Our most recent visit was a pretty big miss. The positives...Beer was cold, waitress was good but food was slow coming out of the kitchen. Ordered garlic parm wings but received garlic parm wings with hot sauce... meh, and the wings were skimpy- no meat. Too many other good places in town. read more

My husband ordered rib eye sandwiches from this place as take out. One was horribly over cooked, the other wasn't even cooked through. The sautéed mushrooms and onions weren't even cooked, just canned mushrooms and fresh onions dumped on them. They were awful. Called back in to complain and the waitress who answered barely have a sorry too bad. Very disappointing. read more

Watch your bank account, they like to add other open accounts to your card so it's holding your money they shouldn't be holding. I guess ownership changed, never had this problem before. Totally unacceptable. read more

This is a great local sports bar that I go to at least 10-15 times a year. My #1 favorite thing about The Relief Pitcher is its cheese fries. For $4 you get a huge basket of fries and lots of cheese to dip them in. It's greasy bar food, but it's delicious. My #2 favorite thing about the Relief Pitcher is the service. You can sit at the bar or one of their high-top tables and a server will take care of you. Everyone I have encountered there is friendly, quick with refills/etc, and professional. read more

Yuck!!!! Ice cold food hour long wait for standard bar food that takes at most 10 minutes to make. Not to mention one of the rudest bartenders I have encountered. Horrible service and a blah atmosphere. You would do better to pick up a box of frozen chicken wings from the grocery store and just stay home! Would never go back and nobody else should either. read more

Bad service. Awful waitress. incorrect bill. No apology from the bar. I went to the Relief Pitcher last night for a bite and a beer with my family and a close friend. When the bill came the waitress had charged us for our food, and for my beer ($3 Labatt's form the tap), my friend's drink ($3.75 rum and diet coke) but the two 12 oz bottles of Bud Light lime beers were charged to the bill as Coronas at $4.50 each. After waiting for over 10 minutes for the waitress to return to our table I finally got up and went to the bar to show her the mistaken charge. She informed me without remorse that that is how they charge for Bud Light lime because"We don't have a button for that on the register." I told her this was silly that a bud light would be more than a pint of beer on tap, and more than a mixed drink?! Really? She shrugged and turned the computer screen toward me to prove there was no button. Button or not this is no reason to charge for a beverage we did not order or consume. I pushed the Bud Light button and low and behold a Bud light is only $3. Again she shrugged indifferent to the error on our bill. Her attitude was bad to say the least and she offered no apology. When I asked to speak to a manager she told me they did not have one. She never returned to our table to even take our money to pay the bill. This is not only bad business to charge for something we never had, but it was also awful customer service. We paid the bill and left her $0.00 as a tip. I will not be returning to a bar that over charges for a Bud Light and knowingly so. If we had gotten a Bud light and asked for a slice of lime I seriously doubt the lime wedge would have cost $1.50. Corona and a Bud Light lime are not equivalent - one is an import ,one is a domestic light beer. This is very unethical business practice for a local bar to be engaging in. It is dishonest. read more

Hottest waitresses in the area! Get the beer tower you won't regret it!!!!! Deducting one star for the cheese planks just get the mozz sticks back make everyone happy!!!!! read more

Food is okay for bar food, pizza is just awful. Good place to drink if you like to be shoulder to shoulder, this place is absolutely packed at all times, probably because it has such a big parking lot. It's expensive compared to most bars in the area. No riff raff though inside read more
