Empire Syracuse Barbershop & Pub

Derek, the owner is a respectful and a stand up person. Barbers are very good at what they do. Bartenders know exactly what they’re doing. On top of all of that the barbershop and pub is very clean, comfortable, and affordable. I love that I can choose to get a haircut or a beer!! I was confused at first thinking you have to get a haircut in order to access bar services, but NOPE either or is welcome. Amazing atmosphere and environment, I will for sure be making the spot my regular hang out for years to come!!

Absolutely beautiful inside. Very clean and an amazing atmosphere. Vintage design with modern comfort and amenities. A great addition to the downtown area. Perfect location too. Who doesn't want to have a cocktail and a bite while they wait for a haircut? The owner seems like a great guy who loves what he does and it shows with the interior design.nnAnd go see Cassie. Best barber in armory.

Barbershop is great, professional. Great cuts. The bar food is great. My only complaint is the type of music that is played; the language in the music is just unprofessional.

i was enjoying my haircut when the owner made the atmosphere truly uncomfortable, came in killed the music, slamming things around ,even saw him get in a clients face as he walked in telling him the shop was closed, the guy looked like a deer and headlights so did his barbers. we all have bad days but to show your frustration in front of clients is the most unprofessional thing i've witnessed. first and last time i'll be in. i will be taking my business elsewhere from here on out.

Pretty disappointed I just recently discovered the barbershop on Instagram and loved the art-deco aesthetic and I scheduled my hair appointment online with Sam and paid in advanced for 10:45am today. While I was on my way out the door to my appointment Sam texted me at 10:08am informing me he no longer had the spot I reserved available and wanted me to reschedule for another time which unfortunately I will not be doing.
