Tony’s AUDelicious

I’ve been to this place a handful of times and find it to be very versatile where you can have a few drinks with friends one day and enjoy a family dinner the next. I’m impressed with the amount of games available to play to kill some time while waiting for your group to arrive. The food is good but I didn’t find anything much above average in my opinion. Out of the 4 or 5 times I’ve been to this place I’ve only had two negative experiences that unfortunately happened on the same night. I was with a group of friends to have a few drinks and enjoy watching an AHL playoff game on the projector they have across from the bar. I understand that the bar was streaming the game over their internet but it seemed as if they had never tested it out before and the game would cut in and out for what seemed like 30 seconds to a minute at a time. On top of this, they ran out of draft beer glasses at the bar and began serving beer in plastic cups. I was understanding of this since it was a very busy night for them; however the bartender refused to lower the price per draft beer when requested. It was obvious that the plastic cups were smaller than the glasses they were serving the beer in before they ran out. This caused my group of friends to walk out and we watched the remainder of the hockey game at a near by sports bar. While there, we asked some people at the bar about the game and if it was cutting in and out. Everyone including the bartender had told me that they have been watching from the beginning of the game and experienced no issues. I will continue to go to Audalicious in the hopes that they will improve some of the problems I ran into since I enjoyed the atmosphere so much. I really hope they upgrade their internet bandwidth speed or start using direct LAN connections instead of WiFi the next time they stream a video for their customers to watch.

Nice place for family night. Just don’t eat the pizza. Nothing like the other tony’s…

I really like the place itself and atmosphere to watch a game or grab some food and drink before or after a hockey game. Been saying for years Utica doesn’t have a true sports bar, and this place as well as their other location break that trend. I’d like to give them a higher rating however I am consistently turned off by the amount of time it takes to get a drink from the bar even when it’s only moderately busy, not to mention that most (not all) of the bartenders I’ve encountered had a poor attitude.
