Guilfoil's Irish Pub - Syracuse

Fantastic dive bar with affordable drinks. I'm definitely planning to return to sample the food!

Guilfoil's is fantastic! Most of the time, the clientele consists of regulars, which is a positive indication. The owners and staff are incredibly generous and fun. We always have a great time when we visit, especially when we get to see Maureen!

The bartender was quite slow and spent a lot of time chatting with the regulars. There was a lack of friendliness, as she didn't smile or offer any warm greetings.

Came for the first time after work for a drink and something to eat and left pretty disappointed. The Google listing and website makes the place seem nicer than it actually is. The countertops are in desperate need of replacement and the entire atmosphere just was run down and dull and very small. Didn’t get the impression that this was an Irish pub, more so it’s just the name that is Irish and the way they design the website. Immediately as I sit down at the bar the bar tender (bald with a big beard) tells me “we’re cash only” the way he said it didn’t seem welcoming and a sign he wasn’t expecting me to stay. While I was looking over the menu I noticed the bar tender was eating his Chinese takeout lunch directly across from me. If this bartender isn’t eating the food here then that gives me a sign that I shouldn’t either. I ordered a Jack Coke and the Mac Cheese bites because I assumed they were frozen and safe to eat. I’m 27 and this bar didn’t seem welcoming to young people. Seemed everyone there were regulars and 45+ years old. All I’d recommend for the owner and bar tender is to be more aware of the experience you create for new customers. It’s easy to get in the habit of doing the bare minimum when you see the same people everyday. In result it affects the quality of your business.

Love this pub, great people, great food, great service, and great prices.
