Visiting for the weekend. The decor, video games, and music were all contributing to the vibe. Good beer on tap and we got the Super Nintendies (chicken tenders) with multiple sauces (all great) and a big order of fries. Our bartender/server was fantastic. He was attentive, fun, and polite. He made the experience top notch. Will absolutely come back due to everything being positive about our visit.

We recently checked this place out and we're so glad we did. It's awesome! It's definitely a unique spot. It's a bar with creative cocktails and menu items that had retro arcade games all around. So you can relive the arcade games you played as a kid in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere while having some great food! The food was great. Those Gold BBQ Wings are amazing! The sauce was great and the wings were perfectly crispy. Highly recommended! Their loaded vegan tater tots were very good as well. We also tried a couple of their cocktails and both were very good as well! The staff was super friendly and helpful. You really felt welcome here, which isn't always the case at bars for me. Service was extremely fast too! I can't wait to go back!

Such a fun and unique place with excellent drink deals! We went on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised that we could get a table. We ordered a punch bowl to share. Beware - they are easy to drink fast! They also have a super fun menu where you literally roll a 20-sided die to pick your shot. The sweet potato fries were delicious and a huge portion. Our server was sweet and took great care of us while juggling multiple tables. I enjoyed the art on the walls and of course the old school arcade games. This place made me feel young again!

I had an incredible time at Three Lives! They offer not only amazing food but also fun nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks that really hit the spot with a cool twist. The games there were not only entertaining but also brought back a wave of nostalgia. The staff was exceptional; they were not only great but also very helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable. I was there with my five- and seven-year-old, who also had a great time. I highly recommend Three Lives for a fantastic time out!

Can't say enough good things about this place...we (my husband, my cousin and her husband and I) came to Syracuse for a fun weekend. Our first stop was a quick dinner here before a concert. Our server Alex was superb in every way; funny, knowledgeable, and kind. A great guy. Our food was excellent and creative, the atmosphere will put a smile on your face, and the music playing made us really happy. We had several varieties of wings, chicken sandwiches, awesome desserts, delicious mac and cheese, perfectly seasoned fries, and really creative cocktails. The experience was so fun, we went back for more food and drinks after the concert. Alex served us again after 11pm, and was just as fun and friendly. The next day, we just had to come back again for more great food and drinks. There are dozens of bars in the area, but this one really made us want to visit 3 times in 24 hours. I can't speak too much about the video games, as I haven't played in decades, but my husband said they had some really awesome ones. In addition to the food and drinks being fantastic, the servers and bartenders really friendly and hard-working, I have to say the menu is very reasonably priced. This is a must visit the next time we're in Syracuse, or anywhere in the vicinity. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service, amazing drinks, wonderful atmosphere with the best staff. The space is small but the staff doubles as live entertainment. They love their jobs and are amazing. Could not recommend more.

Real chill dig. Stay wars theme tonight. Small crowd, friendly staff, and good drink prices. Easy conversation and brings in the right crowd. Can't wait to swing back in next time I'm in town

Fantastic food (mostly small entrees) and incredibly friendly staff. Lost of arcade game cabinets (Galiga, Joust, Mortal Combat, etc.) and amazing vibes! Would definitely come here again!
