The New York Restaurant With Irish Roots That Date Back To The 1920S

The Irish culture of fun and merriment is summed up in one word: craic. The slang term refers to joyful banter and carefree conversation. One spot where you can find plenty of craic is one of the many Irish pubs in New York. One of our very favorites is Kitty Hoynes in Syracuse’s Armory Square. New York has a particularly large population of Irish Americans. Even if you aren’t of Irish heritage, a visit to this place will have you sipping a Guinness and dancing a jig

Kitty Hoynes was opened up in 1999 by David Hoynes. However, the restaurant’s roots are much older. The pub’s namesake is David’s Irish-born mother, Catherine “Kitty” Hoynes.

The charming decor reflects the Irish heritage of Kitty Hoynes. You’ll see old photos, clay jars, and even road signs that were originally displayed in David’s grandfather’s old Irish shop.

There’s such a delightful atmosphere here, and it’s made even better on nights when live music is hosted.
