Down Under Bar & Restaurant

Love the location. Out of the way but in a great spot. Was a little too cold to sit outside but the deck looked awesome. Very good and prompt service. We started with the oysters which were just ok - they had clearly been opened earlier in the day as they weren't juicy at all - I'd pass. We had the fish and chips which were fantastic. We also had the shrimp platter (lunch) which was good - nice amount of blackening spices. Nice beer selection as well. Overall we will be back, just not for the oysters.

The prime rib lives up to the billing. Absolutely melt in your mouth good!!! Great atmosphere and perfect service. I highly recommend the place.

Had a great time! It got busy really fast after 6 on a Saturday. Our server was awesome! Highly recommend to Kool aid cocktail! Large portions at reasonable prices. It's a hidden gem!!!!!

The absolute worst prime rib that I have ever been served! It was stone cold and had obviously been refired from leftovers, definitely not $58 Classic bait & switch, definitely NOT the same as the picture they use on their fb page. Which a quick google search proved it wasn't even their photo. The Server who was understandably embarrassed by the situation and knew our displeasure, did provide a 10% discount but they shouldn't have charged a dime since it only took 3 bites to make the conscious decision that it was inedible. Majorly disappointed after traveled over an hour after be we were lured to this establishment with fake photos of their menu items. IMO, this is borderline criminal.

Fantastic end-of-week place to have a great meal and an adult beverage. Danni was a fantastic waitress and really made our experience fun. We had not been there for several years and we introduced friends to the The Down Under with high hopes and we were not let down at all. Delightful experience with chicken wings, The Big One burger - amazing!!! Highly Recommend!

Horrible. House dressing is a bottle of cheap Italian dressing mixed with powdered sugar, it looked like brown gravy on the salad, with a lovely gritty feeling on the tongue. Alfredo sauce needed a recipe to follow. Poured over precooked penne pasta that was made a day before and reheated.
Grateful we didn't take the whole family there for dinner. $60. Was a small price to pay to know where not to entertain our family and friends.

We are formerly from the area and will drive quite a ways to come back and visit this quirky restaurant which is situated in downtown Syracuse. The entry is above ground, but the restaurant is down underground via a stairwell. Atmosphere is like a pub. Pretty white lights and lots of neon. Food is excellent! They serve great steaks and the best fish for miles around. On our last visit, they had a steak bruschetta appetizer special that was AMAZING. The salad is terrific, lots of veggies and topped with an Italian dressing that has 14 ingredients! We love Down Under. A really great restaurant for a small town. It's one of our favorites of all and we are full time RVers who are eating our way across America. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant.

This place is so unique. It is under ground. You enter thru a gazebo! The food and service are phenomenal! We had the seafood stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. If you like cream cheese they are amazing! My wife had the king prime rib and she said it was one of the best prime rib she has ever had. Very tender and little fat. I had the baby back full rack of ribs. Perfect blend of sweet, tangy and smoke. It fell of the bone. BBQ sauce on the side is the way to go so the rich zesty sauce doesn't over take the flavor of the meat. The garlic Parmesan waffle fries are totally delectable. I highly recommend taking the drive to Syracuse to go Down Under for an awesome meal!

This place is very unique, great atmosphere! The food was okay, some interesting options. The wait staff was undesirable. We were at the restaurant for 2 hours because our service was so slow. We were into our second drinks before we got water brought to our table. Keeping in mind we got our first drinks ourselves from the bar. When our food final came, my husband had to search the restaurant for S&P himself. The couple we were with requested a fork to eat his fish. Luck for him he was very skilled at using his knife because his fish was all but gone before the fork arrived. Checking out, the waitress charged our bill to our credit card and then charged the couple we were with, meal to our CC. When we got up and tracked her down, she refunded our companions bill and the charged our meal again. Ugh!

Wow. I don't even know where to start. We arrived and upon entering the smell of cigarettes wafted to the entrance. I could feel the second hand smoke and wrinkles seeping through my very being. Good bye to my 30s. I ordered the Bloody Mary, which was very good with house made pepper infused vodka. However, while enjoying my beverage and out of town company, I was approached by the bartender and owner at the same time, to watch my mouth because there were ladies in there. I am a woman, amongst other grown women, and was told to "watch my mouth". This is a basement bar, where patrons were openly smoking cigarettes in a banned state. Also, no children were present due to it being a bar in Indiana. All women should have free speech and be entitled to their own language of choice while quietly conversing with friends. This place really threw me off.
