My wife and I frequently eat at the Across the Street Pub. I am not sure of how the restaurant was named, but it could be that it is nearby the SUNY college campus. Years ago, when my wife and I went to SUNY and New York had a lower drinking age, we were "regulars" there. We specifically picked out this place for dinner for this weekend. We were celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary and wanted to reminisce about all the good times we had, even if we didn’t have much money when we got married.
There are many plusses about this restaurant. One is that it has quite a few TVs, which was essential since we wanted to watch the Kentucky Derby. (We got married on Derby Day). Surprisingly the place was not crowded so we had our pick of location for watching the race! In fact the large seating area makes this place a popular spot for baseball teams. Years ago there were tables only in the room beyond the bar area. Many times we played "quarters" until the owners were upset that the shellac finish on the tables were being ruined and they put a stop to that popular drinking game! Now the place has been upgraded to include booths in half of the room! There are additional booths along one side of the large U-shape bar. The bar is always popular and the bartenders are very talkative.
As far as food, you can’t go wrong. My favorites are wings, hot meatball parmagana sub sandwich, and one of many types of burgers. The food is always good, priced reasonable, and served promptly by friendly waitresses.
One caution: Parking may be tricky. Do NOT park on the street unless you want to find your car towed. If you don’t find a spot in the bar's parking lot, there is additional parking available at a nearby parking lot.
Cost for two was $27.
