Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

The Irish culture of fun and merriment is summed up in one word: craic. The slang term refers to joyful banter and carefree conversation. One spot where you can find plenty of craic is one of the many Irish pubs in New York. One of our very favorites is Kitty Hoynes in Syracuse’s Armory Square. New York has a particularly large population of Irish Americans. Even if you aren’t of Irish heritage, a visit to this place will have you sipping a Guinness and dancing a jig
Kitty Hoynes was opened up in 1999 by David Hoynes. However, the restaurant's roots are much older. The pub's namesake is David's Irish-born mother, Catherine "Kitty" Hoynes.
The charming decor reflects the Irish heritage of Kitty Hoynes. You'll see old photos, clay jars, and even road signs that were originally displayed in David's grandfather's old Irish shop.
If there's one thing that Ireland is famous for, it's alcohol, and there's certainly a lot of it at this Irish pub in New York. They've got Guinness and Irish whiskey on tap, of course!
With several vegetarian options plus kid's meals, this is a great choice for anyone's next night out. The fun environment and delicious food can't be beat.
