Steve’s Cantina and Grill

Steve’s Cantina and Grill is the Mexican and Southwestern-inspired kitchen attached to a neighborhood Irish bar on Syracuse’s Tipperary Hill. It is an unlikely pairing, shamrocks and salsa, but it fits a neighborhood that has always had a personality all its own, and it gives the pub a food menu worth lingering over.

The drink list covers draft and bottled beers, including Negra Modelo and Corona, along with wine, spirits and margaritas served by the pint. Tipperary Hill is the Irish-American neighborhood on Syracuse’s west side, famous for its traffic light that runs upside down, with green above red.
