We understand that this establishment is now closed. What a shame for Syracuse. They had a wonderful selection of draft beers and they were open on Sunday. Unlike Clark's and the Blue Tusk. Let's hope someone else will buy this building, start a new beer bar to continue the tradition of selling excellent beers.

MacGreggor's has lots of beers on tap, of varying quality, and as long as you stick to beer, you'll be more than fine. Particularly since their daily specials often feature some very fine beverages at outrageously low pitcher-prices.

Venturing into mixed drinks can be sketchy, as not all of their bartenders are particularly fantastic in that area. Sometimes the drinks are fine, sometimes they're underpoured.

The courtesy of the wait staff and bartenders is generally good. Sometimes not. Usually the waitresses are more pleasant than the bartenders.

The food is, as previously mentioned, "bar standard". Nachos, wings, burgers, etc. Not award-winning, but by no means bad.

Clintelle seems to largely be early-to-mid-twenties. College or young adult. LOTS of baseball caps and flannel shirts. You can't turn in any direction without being able to see at least one tv, so it's great for me during the NBA season, when I'm wanting to follow six games at once.

Overall, a nice place and a decent change of pace from my usual spots. Also, in addition to the metered parking mentioned in the review below, there's also a very large and conveniently free parking lot right behind the building.

Extensive tap selection with something for just about everyone. Daily specials on selected beers, and happy hour specials on the MacGregor house beers. Food is typical burgers, wings, sandwiches, etc. to go with your beverages. Usually see about a quarter or so who insist on drinking Blue or Bud--go figure. A few blocks from the Armory District, fair amount of on-street meters by either entrance.

Always a stop when I'm in Syracuse. The beer selection is great and the staff is always helpful with samples when (always) I can't make up my mind. If it wasn't enough to have lots of choices, it's even better when there are super beers on tap. Stone Ruination IPA was my most recent undoing. If you run into me, ask about the local guy who needed help in leaving--it's a great story!
