The Blue Tusk is the best place in Syracuse for a pint after work. My wife and I have enjoyed sampling some great local beers from Middle Ages and Southern Tier Brewery among others at Blue Tusk on several occasions. During happy hour, a well-crafted pint goes for $4--a good bargain for the quality selection. Blue Tusk is also a good place for an inexpensive light dinner or lunch as you order at a counter and pick up the food yourself--avoiding the extra cost of service. The cheese plates and salads are great options. During the summer, snag a table outside to people-watch in the Armory district. My favorite beers are Middle Ages Wailing Wench IPA and whatever seasonal the Southern Tier Brewery has sent over.
