The Retreat

Really nice place, has a very nice outdoor bar, nice waitstaff and bartenders. Only problem is, if you are at the outside bar and want to order food, you have to leave that bar and go into the restaurant area. Kind of annoying, especially when you have nice seats to watch a band, and then have to abandon them to go somewhere else to eat. By the time you're finished eating, chances are, your nice bar seats will be taken.

Village of Liverpool old standby bar and restaurant specializing in rich comfort foods and causal atmosphere. Recently returned to the Retreat over the holidays as it remains one of my parents favorite restaurants and found the place essentially unchanged by the years and even decades. While this is mostly good I feel the service is still short of great and the bar desperately needs to clean their draft lines. Food is on the heavy and rich side, but tater tots and poutine was a fun twist. The place was cheerfully decorated and parking was ample even during dinner rush. Reservations recommended.

Great place for the whole family! Superb staff! Great menu! Best Bloody Mary Ive found in Syracuse. Good size indoor and outdoor bars! 2 dining rooms and a beautiful outdoor dining patio. Live music in the summer! Several TVS with a variety of sporting events. Family owned and run makes the difference. Very impressed to see the owners overseeing operations quite often when we are there.

Good food and good nightlife. Summer is always a good night life, safe atmosphere. Good bartenders and decent prices. Food for lunch is good- love the chicken Cesar sandwich and the Cesar wrap! The salad comes with garlic bread- weird but so good!
