    Wonderful establishment for brunch, dinner, or just drinks. The staff are friendly and such a delight. A special shout out to Nick, who was an amazing and charismatic server. I love the immersion of the leveling and quests, and the random events such as emo night and dungeons and dragons. The drinks are really great, especially the potions! My personal favorite is Maximum Health. The food is really tasty, especially the mix and match sliders. I'll definitely keep coming back here as long as I live in Syracuse.

    Fun spot to be able to grab some decent food, great drinks, and play arcade games! Bartenders are definitely very busy, but they do a good job of being attentive and engaging considering they are slammed. Worth a stop in. I love their D&D die roll to pick a drink, so fun!! They also play YouTube and other gaming videos, which is really hitting all the gamer types.

    Here I tried the Charmander Sliders for the first time. My first impression of this place was amazing! I appreciate a restaurant that features artists, and appreciates culture and is welcoming. The staff at Three Lives know how to make you laugh, make you feel welcomed, and deliver exceptional service. I recently joined the discord server! I was amazed to see what a community Three Lives has built! A safe space for all to enjoy. Here I have also tried some of the best bar drinks I could have locally. I highly recommend this establishment!

    Fun stop for our final stop on my Birthday girls night out. It was packed, standing room only. My friend was able to squeeze up to the bar and got me a potion with pomegranate and other fruit flavors. Food was still coming out of the kitchen at 11pm, looks like good option for late night service. 80's video game bar theme, I believe they host game night events. Would be fun to check out games, and food options. They had roll for shots but was not offered the option to play. The street was blocked off by police and patrol cars lit up most of the area making it difficult to get an uber from the location.

    Very neat place. Not too loud, not too quiet. Neat arcade games for the kids and adults to play. Food is good, good sized menu and brunch menu on Sunday! Nice people, good service and polite and helpful.

    Tasty eats, creative drinks, and a creative ambiance. Enjoyed our snacks and drinks. Service was great!

    Had so much fun here after a birthday dinner downtown! Their creative drink menu has something for everyone, and the presentation is spectacular. Spaces that provide alc and non alc options are important, and having the option to play arcade games brought the birthday to a new level!

    A fun and unique place for the Syracuse area. All the food is delicious but I particularly love the tendies. The fries are yummy but the TOTs are special. Fries, tots, and tendies are all coated in a delicious spice blend. My sauce of choice is the nacho cheese (homemade) with the pepper sauce.. cheesey and spicy . Highly suggest rolling the D20 for a shot and/or one of their unique cocktails. Pictured is the Teafling, lightly sweet, a little bitter, and refreshing. They have a great range of sweet - not sweet cocktails, something for everyone. All ages are welcome but be sure to check your ID so you can "level up" each visit! They have a dozen or so arcade games, a few are free and the rest are 50¢. Keep an eye out for special events they host like trivia or video game tournaments!

    Great idea for a Wednesday game night. Wing Wednesday where wings came out to be $1 each. Buffalo and lemon pepper was my favorite!

    This place is so fun! There is a large parking lot right next door so it was easy to find a spot and get right in. My friends and I cam e in on a Thursday evening and had no trouble getting a table. We were greeted by a friendly guy who also happened to be our server. The vibe is fun and relaxed. The food was amazing. They have a great selection of games. Everything about our visit was top notch. Highly recommend!

    Roll for a shot!

    Met a couple friends for drinks before dinner and had a fantastic time. Had a potion to start and then rolled the die for my next drink which is a shot list. My friends and I had so much fun with Nick who was so beyond personable and attentive, really the whole team was but Nick primarily served us. The vibe and atmosphere are just welcoming and fun!!

    I love how it is decorated inside with all the wall murals and local art. It is kind of small and not a ton of seating space. As someone short I found their high top tables to be extra high. It was a bit of a struggle and not the comfiest. Been here a few times and the service is always on point. I love all the arcade games you can play, just wish there was a pinball machine. The drinks are fun and inventive. The sliders I had were very tasty. I wasn't a fan of the chicken tendies. I didn't mind them being chicken thighs but the breading was off.

    Right side, more seating

    I have been here many times, with many groups, and it's always a great time! The winner is definitely the roll for a shot- a D20 die with 20 options! They also have perfectly themed potion bottle drinks, fun dry ice and giant shareables. Watch them at the bar - it's truly an art form! Then for the food - definitely recommend trying the tots with many sauces. They also have pretty killer sliders. Even if you believe the food is "subpar" & the drinks are "too sweet," they are always hosting cool events (movie nights, Pajama brunches) and collabs with other local businesses, like Sweet on Chocolate!

The crab rangoons were crispy, and I liked the dipping sauce. We had the calabrian rigate as our entree. The pasta sauce was delicious, but the chicken was tough and overcooked. It also took extremely long for them to bring it out. I most likely won't return to this restaurant while visiting Syracuse.

    Peruvian-Japanese! 4.7…read more We were far from home. It was our participation in Ross Bentley's Driver Development Course in Lafayette that brought us to the Syracuse area (see my review for Pineview Run Auto & Country Club). With the track only 20 minutes away, Syracuse was the best option for hotels and dining. Inka's Peruvian cuisine, with a splash of "Nikkei," was exactly what we were looking for and precisely what our bodies needed for fuel after some intense driving. The migration of Japanese immigrants to Peru in the late 1800s and early 1900s was the beginning of what eventually evolved into one of Peru's distinctive culinary traditions, now known as Nikkei. This unique cuisine blends Japanese techniques and ingredients with Peruvian flavors and traditions. At Inka's, those Peruvian roots take center stage, with touches of Nikkei cuisine developed by Chef Flavio Solórzano. We started with two cocktails: Maracuyá Sour (pisco, aquafaba, citrus and passion fruit) and Cuzco (Empress cucumber-lemon gin, mint, lemon juice, St-Germain and soda). Both were beautifully balanced and delicious. We finished them off rather quickly, which naturally led us to order a pitcher of red sangria. It was wonderfully refreshing after a long, hot day and paired beautifully with our meal. For our meal, we ordered: * Chicharrones de Calamari ~ Perfectly light and crispy breaded calamari, with both rings and tentacles, fried to a delicate crunch and served with their house tartar sauce. * Pollo a la Brasa ~ Peruvian-marinated chicken, slow-roasted over wood and charcoal until the skin was beautifully golden and crisp. It was served with french fries and their signature ají pollero sauce. The entrée also came with an ensalada verde, a side salad of mixed greens, tomato, onions and avocado tossed in a homemade vinaigrette. * Arroz Chaufa ~ Peruvian-style fried rice, wok-tossed with egg, scallions and lettuce in a sweet orange-pineapple sauce and topped with crispy fried spring onions. We added the seafood option of calamari, fish and shrimp. The rice was perfectly textured and nicely seasoned, with a subtle sweetness from the sauce. This dish can also be made gluten-free upon request. * Apple Tart ~ For dessert, we shared an Apple Tart. It was a lovely way to round out our dinner. Everything was delicious. Normally, for variety, we like to order an assortment of dishes and take the leftovers home so we can enjoy them again later. However, traveling far from home didn't make that particularly practical this time. I would have loved to sample more of the menu, especially some of their Nikkei selections. We also enjoyed Inka's inviting and cheerful atmosphere. The greenery cascading across the ceiling is eye-catching and seems to serve as the room's centerpiece, even if you have to look up to appreciate it. Your eyes are naturally drawn upward. It's a wonderful setting for a date night or a lively dinner with friends or a group. The service was friendly and prompt, adding to an already enjoyable evening. We were far from home, but Inka's made our night in Syracuse feel like a delicious little destination of its own. Hope we can return one day!

The atmosphere and vibes were cozy, a great place to unwind and catch up or like us celebrate a special occasion. Both service in the coffee lounge and speakeasy were welcoming.

They are utilizing the space with bubble tents with reservations, so that's a fun idea. A cute and fun spot on Tipp hill to definitely check out.
