A fun local pub with really good food at great prices. We stopped in since in downtown cuse and wanted somewhere for wings and drinks. So glad we did!!! ⭐️! The menu is simple bar food made with quality ingredients and care from kitchen staff. The wings are top notch, plenty of meat, cooked just right and NOT overcooked or overly sauced. Kitchen is run with care, fryer used is absolutely maintained with care and oil is either changed or filtered and not allowed to get too hot, fried foods tasted of food NOT oil!!! Great job to kitchen staff!!!Great beer selection with friendly bar staff. Always nice to stop in local bar and to be treated like a local!!! We will be back

Great neighborhood bar. Fabulous chickens wings and other bar foods. Beer is cold and the whiskey works. Long history of live bands. Place is packed on live band nights. Parking can be tight. Pool table and outdoor seating.

Shifty’s is a unique experience combination of urban and neighborhood folks. Great pool table. Great people and the food and drinks are great. Stop in have one. See for yourself. There’s normally live music every night. Parking is difficult but just watch free parks. You don’t get towed or ticking it. ED

Came here after doing a bit of reading on Google reviews. I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. Upon arrival my dad and I sat at a table. When the bartender Cathy ( maybe Kathy) learned that it was our first time there we were compelled to sit at the bar. We met some awesome people at the bar that made us feel like we’d been going there for years. The people sitting next to me told me about what flavor of wings to get the Franken-fatal they were even so kind as to give me a sample from their plate. I’ve never felt so welcome in any establishment. The wings themselves were absolutely the best I’ve had, and I’ve eaten wings in just about every wing joint in Buffalo. Neither Duff’s, The Anchor Bar, nor Gabriel’s Gate can compare. The barkeep recommended we eat the fried mushrooms which are not breaded until the ticket comes in were easily the best fried mushrooms I’ve ever had. I will most assuredly return for more wings and a burger which I saw being delivered and looked absolutely amazing. I will definitely be returning, Shifty’s has definitely become one of my favorites, and that’s only after eating one meal there. I look forward to many more meals and many more friendly encounters.

Great little watering hole with a diverse population of visitors. Chill place with great wings and lots of cold beer on tap. There is an outdoor sitting area. Check out the talented artist that stop by each week to play music.

Beers were cheap, me and my group got 4 different wings, all were good. Salt and pepper were my personal favorite but they were all tasty. It’s a dive bar…and everything that comes with it. I enjoyed every second as me and my 4 friends ate, drank, and listened to live music. Very approachable, clean, warm atmosphere. Go nuts

The chicken wings are one of the best around! The Frankenstein wings and their loaded fries/ tots are a must try! Always a great time and always a great crowd.

Friends and I have been going to places and rating their wings to find what we think are the best around Syracuse.
