Review of Funk n Waffles

Stumbled across this establishment only a block from my hotel. Desperate for something interesting to do on a Monday night besides sit at a bar, this place came through bigly. Almost passed by, as I am not a waffle guy. However, the familiar sounds of a Jerry Garcia riff caught my ear and drew me in. After paying the modest $5 cover, it was immediately clear that my destination had been reached, for the rest of the evening. That is to say, a Dead tribute band was on the stage of this smaller sized (1800 sq ft) bar. Evidently the band plays each Monday night. My smile only broadened when my eyes landed on The Macallan 12 scotch bottle behind the bar. Game on. The band is tight and clearly had it's share of devotees who come to watch them every Monday night, as a rule. This review is clearly band and bar related. There was a large curtain dividing the binary layout: food one side, bar fun...the other. I did not dine, so please seek other reviews subjective to the grub offerrings.
The next trip to Syracuse will be one that has
F & W in the itinerary.
