Not just another bar on Armory Square, a legend and well known place, the Blue Tusk is a must try when you are in Syracuse.

Was looking for a spot for a beer and a bite to eat, visiting from out of town for work. At first, when they told us that the food was a sandwich bar that you went up to order from, we hesitated. Glad we stayed, because the sandwich was a meal in and of itself. Turkey breast that was fresh... More

Situated in downtown Syracuse it has a great location between restuarants, shopping and theatres. Come here for a great beer selection as that's what their known for. Always a hopping place, this place provides a good atmosphere while enjoying a beer off their extensive menu of choices.

Stopped for a casual dinner before a show at Landmark. For newbies, the ordering can be a bit confusing. You order and pick up your own food at one counter and all beverages are served from the bar. There is a very active after work crowd and it is just a great energy in the place. Nice choice of craft... More

Great beer, food and people. It is always great to hit the tusk when we travel to Syracuse. Love the outdoor seating and people watching too!

Whether you need a beer or a sandwich (or both) the Tusk is THE PLACE to take in all the best Armory Square has to offer. Sandwiches are out of this world and with nearly 100 beers to select from, you can't miss. Don't forget to have your Tusk card stamped, every 10th sandwich entitles you to the best free... More

Business has recently brought me to Syracuse and this is the absolutely best lunch option in Armory Square. So far I have done the #11 and #12 along with the roast beef deli sandwich. My quest now is to eat every one of their numbered sandwiches. Only suggestion would be to put some balsamic vinegar on the #12. They have... More

This place has an excellent selection of beers, but it can be hard to get served depending on the time of day. You could say that they're victims of their own success, but still, the staff could show a little more hustle. Possibly the most overrated bar in Armory Square.

Great selections of draught but they want you to do all the work. We left after finding out we had to not only locate a table for ourselves but also walk from the table to order food and beverage and then pick it up and deliver it to our table.
