    Good size and very clean bar. The staff maintains it well and are friendly.  The service is quick.  The crowds are friendly.

    I recommend trying the food. Good wings and overall menu of typical bar food.

    They don't serve draft beer, but have the best selection of bottled beer downtown.

    Seating outback and on the side patio is comfortable and private during the warm summer months.

    A good local favorite.

    Typical college bar with an atypical bartender.

    Walking into this packed bar after a wedding reception (right next door) was an interesting time.  Things were pretty good as our bartender had been our bartender at the hotel bar the previous evening.  When you're from out of town, seeing a slightly familiar face makes a difference.

    They have no draft beer which is a big minus in my book.  Their bottle selection was not fantastic but I was able to drink Hoegaarden and Smithwick's for the evening.  No one really got in our way or bothered us which was nice.

    Anyhoo she kept our drinks full and the service was prompt and attentive.  The prices here are pretty low and every 3 minutes the DJ kept reminding the crowd about $2 shots.

    Ahh college bars...

    Dillinger's is a clean, sterile restaurant/pub on the south end of State Street bar row. My biggest problem with the joint is that they serve all their beer in bottles. What kind of Irish pub is that? Pints! We want pints!

    But aside from that, this place was pretty solid. Their menu is small, but some good options (I enjoyed the pulled chicken BBQ sandwich - although its not as good as the one you'll get at Lost Dog Cafe). The insides are immaculately clean and done in a dark wood style, which is appealing to the eye.

    So its good for a pub style dinner. Not so good if you're looking for a pint or two in a true Irish Pub style atmosphere.

    Clean, big, okay crowd.

    I don't appreciate that beer is bottle-only, and that they won't take credit cards. What is that? And I agree with Alexandra; the bathroom is indeed "faaar away." Especially problematic for me - I should be on a Detrol commercial.

    Ditto Patrick's opinion on the bottles.  I want my beer on tap, dammit!  The Long Island iced tea (made with ginger ale, huh??) was strong and made tolerable the excruciating playlist (HOT HOT HOT?? What is this, the 1990s bar mitzvah I bespoke in my review of Rudy's Beau Rivage??  Ye gods!).  The side room is ideal for card playing or schmoozing, more my cup of tea than the teeming main room.  Completely average acceptable DT bar option, and definitely less sketchy than some others.

    Simply put, the best wings I've ever had outside of Buffalo NY. The bar is great too, definitely a cut above it's State street brethren. Dillingers does not, curiously enough, accept credit cards at the bar which is a bummer. This negative however is made up tenfold by the facts that it is huge, it's bathrooms are clean, it's bartenders know how to bartend, and the people there are not in nor act as if they are in high school.

    My favorite bar when I was at SUNY Binghamton, unfortunately it opened my senior year so that doesn't say much about the others nearby.  This place was always very clean, not too packed, service was good, and the crowd of people were always the best out of the choice of bars.   They  also have a nice little outside area in the back.  I'm not a big bar person so if my friends wanted me to go out this is where I was going.

    My favorite bar in Binghamton.  It's much more clean than the neighbors up and down State Street.  Always clean, much more room now that they have opened the other side and extra patio space in the summer for the smokers.  They don't take credit cards, which I think keeps away certain people.  They don't have draft beer, which again keeps away certain people.  Are either of those a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know.  I can still have fun paying cash to drink bottled beer. At least the place is clean and the beer is cold.

    dillingers is relatively new to state st (i think it opened summer '05).  it's pretty clean,  a little older crowd.  nice outdoor patio area.  bar music, sort of like tony's (bon jovi, classic rock...)

    ive never eaten there but im sure they have standard bar food.

    it's a pretty fun time at dillingers, though usually a place to start off your night then move on to the rat or sportsbar
