Kitty Hoynes on West Fayette Street in downtown Syracuse has been a city Irish pub institution since it opened, serving the traditional Irish pub food — shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, Irish stew — alongside a serious Irish whiskey program in a Armory Square setting that earns a Central New York city its most authentically Irish neighborhood pub. It appeared in Season 15, Episode 13 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Turn On Traditional,” which aired November 12, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Syracuse kitchen doing traditional Irish pub food from scratch with the quality and cultural authenticity that earns a pub its destination reputation in a city that takes its Irish heritage seriously.

What to Eat
The Shepherd’s Pie with braised lamb and root vegetables under a mashed potato crust is the Irish comfort food classic done properly, which means lamb rather than ground beef and a proper braise rather than a quick assembly. The Bangers and Mash with house-made sausage and colcannon is the Irish pub staple that earns its own devoted following. The Irish Beef Stew with Guinness and root vegetables is the bowl worth ordering on any Syracuse winter evening. The Full Irish Breakfast on weekend mornings with rashers, black and white pudding, and soda bread is the reason to arrive early on a Saturday. Find a Syracuse hotel on Travelocity.
