Syd's Fine Food and Spirits

Seems like the type of place that's been around for years. Service was perfectly fine. The burger was quite good and was clearly cooked over an open flame. It was awesome. My wife commented that her salad was good and very fresh.

The food was good. Prices are reasonable. Service was great, attentive, kind, and social. The bar area and lounge are very nice looking and comfortable. The family restaurant section is pretty small and very minimal, so definitely a bar, not a family experience. Overall good.

We visited for Kareoke and a bite to eat. We didn't realize there was a waitress working so after waiting a few, we went to the bar to order some sodas as we were parched. I did notice that the waitress did come out and offered other patrons menus as they entered several times but did not come to our table. We later asked for a menu but again, waitress never came to table to take an order. We asked the bartender for an appetizer thinking we would get some food going. Waitress never came. We sang and returned to the bar for drinks but the table was filled with cups, a plate and 30 dollars in pull tabs. I bused the table. We spent around 85 dollars. 55 was bar tab. Bartender was great and we enjoyed socializing with so many nice patrons of the bar. This place is like a real life cheers. Good bunch of folks! Left a bit confused as to why waitress wouldn't stop at our table. First time at Sids and not from nearby. I would have liked to eat a meal but ended up skipping dinner. Also, I'm a generous tipper but could not justify leaving a tip on a table abandoned by any service whatsoever. What gives? I get not wanting to "share" tips but the place was packed and we had to stand in line for subsequent drinks as the bartender was so busy. Good way to loose money for the bar and the staff. We would have spent double with a waitress serving us and would be happy to tip you both for your service.

Spent the evening here recently with friends. Food and drink reasonably priced but service poor as always. There were two ladies behind bar but didn't leave bar to wait on others. We went up to bar most times to make order. And bussed our own table. There was a younger kid walking around in some kind of sweat pants, but i didnt notice him doing much! Having said all that, hire some staff to wait on your customers. Not sure what will happen when the basement bar opens! Service needs improved

Great place! The staff is always on top of things. In the occasion that a band is playing it can be loud. I recommend checking out the upstairs.

Syd's is my favorite place now to have a good meal and a good cocktail. Katie, Angel, and Ryan make sitting at the bar enjoyable; their service is outstanding! I love the pork tenderloin sandwich and I never had one growing up and I'm obsessed with it! Their food and service is better than some of the fine dining establishments I've been to over the years. Syd's is not pretentious; the good food, good service, and kind people are why I will continue to come back!

Good food at a reasonable price. I got the chili (excellent) and a Ruben Sandwich. I really enjoyed the old pub feel. A great spot to get a few drinks and get some pun food. The service was very good as well.

My first time was a success! The fried pickles were fresh and delicious! Nice little side salad to go with it too! Definitely recommend the breaded pork tenderloin. The bartender was very friendly and helpful!

This place has that authentic, lived-in character that you just can't fake. You can tell this bar has been a part of Noblesville for years, and there's something special about settling into a spot that has so much history in its bones. The atmosphere hit just right - comfortable, welcoming, and with that perfect neighborhood bar vibe where strangers become friends over a drink. The staff were fantastic, making sure everyone felt taken care of without being overbearing. You can tell they take pride in this place. I had such a great time that I ended up buying one of their sweatshirts before I left. It's not often a place makes that kind of impression on me, but when you find somewhere this good, you want to take a piece of it home with you. Whether you're a local or just passing through Noblesville, do yourself a favor and stop in. This is the kind of bar that reminds you why these old establishments matter - they're more than just a place to grab a drink, they're gathering places that bring a community together. I'll definitely be back!

Syd's is a great local dive in Noblesville. We went there for the band this evening as one of our friends was playing in it. My tenderloin was excellent, I got the onion rings as an upgrade and it was worth it. Wait staff was very pleasant and served us in a timely manner. Her service was great as she bounced around many tables in a full house. I liked the efficient order and checkout process as she wore a device on her wrist. That order was entered into and then when ready to checkout card can be scanned by the same device. Great fun place albeit a little loud on a live music evening.

On the Noblesville square, Syd's has been operating for 80 years!!! That's crazy! If it were closer to my house, I'd be there a lot more often. They have an upstairs with a bar and the main bar downstairs. They have music, not sure if only on Thursday. They also have a queen of hearts drawing on Thursdays. It's a casual setting, I've always had great service. I love their tenderloin and start with a PBR. For lunch didn't want the full sandwich, but the lunch menu had tenderloin sliders. That along with their fries is a perfect lunch. 80 years and still going strong.

Best hangout spot with your buds in Noblesville. Cold beer. Friendly servers. Cool merch. Great environment. God bless.

It's a dive bar with many good food & drink options. We came for 'Tenderloin Tuesday' and were sorely disappointed. I've had good meals here in the past but I would pass on this overly thin huge dry sandwich. Pounded too thin, the pork overcooked to dry, tough pork overwhelmed by the dry overly crunchy breading. Pork and breading were without any discernible flavor. Fries, both plain and seasoned were quite good but it's sad when that's the best part of lunch. The service is good enough and very personable, though we were not asked about beverage refills. Past expectancy reputation may be enough for a return visit, but certainly not for the tenderloin.

Cold beer and the best Steak sandwich any where, thank me later. This is our local mainly cause we like the staff!

Syd's is a fantastic bar to stop into at any time of the day. We've gone for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late night drinks and our service has been incredible every single time. The wait staff and bartenders are awesome. I love that there's always something going on at Syd's: trivia, karaoke, live music, etc. The pub food is fantastic. I usually opt for the Pub Club and onion rings. Drinks are cheap and ice cold! 5 stars all day long.

A group of friends and I went to check out Syds after we visited a bookshop near by. Downstairs was very busy and crazy loud. We were directed upstairs for additional seating. It was so nice. It was a cozy atmosphere. You order at the bar and our table's food didn't come out together. The food was really good. The bartender did forget to key in my side order of fries, but it also wasn't on my receipt. Our group enjoyed our time there and would return.

The place use to be a great "dive" bar but we won't be going again. We stopped bye for an early dinner last night 6 domestic beers and 2 sandwiches later cost us almost $70 prior to tip. My burger was burnt with way tooo much liquid smoke the fries were good. The club was way better but the onion rings were very burnt. Booo Service was good though.

long time patron at Syd's, but first time trying their lunch special! $11 for 2 sliders and chips (i subbed fries for an extra $1). food came out quickly and bartenders were pleasant as always. glad to have this as my neighborhood bar

Atmosphere is perfect for a night out and Lyzzy is the best server!!! We've had her twice and she is so fun! Always good food and drinks!!

It's a great bar! Good beers on tap, attentive bartenders and wait-staff. It's cool and historic and surrounded by other good places to stop before or afterwards. I like the burgers, wings, and pork tenderloin sandwich, but need to explore more, though they've reduced their menu(for the better), the only thing I didn't like was a chili cheese dog, but I'm particular about those. My wife likes the club sandwich. Lots of cool event like concerts and karaoke also.

Renovated and now with a new menu (see pic). Through the Valpak mailer, I got coupons so I bought a grilled Cajun chicken sandwich with pickles, lettuce, and onions and with a side of Tater tots and received a free combo appetizer of chicken fingers, fried mushrooms, and fried pickles. My takeout was delicious, and the grilled chicken was wonderfully aromatic. I wish they still had the 2 haddock fish meal. I probably ordered 6 times total, and since the renovation, I have been there twice. Averaging from my experiences, some of the staff could do better. I am rounding up to 5 stars as the chef and food are great.

Towny bar with great service, great food and cheap drinks. After seeing Syd's from the road, I knew I needed to check it out. It was even better than imagined. It's nice inside, looks like maybe a remodel at some point, since it's the oldest established bar in Noblesville. They also have another bar upstairs, "Howdy Bubs." Check them out when you are looking for good bar food and cheap drinks!

If you're looking for a hole in the wall gem of a bar, look no further. I came here for pregame drinks and was shocked I never visited this place sooner. It was karaoke night, which might deter some but the people singing were actually good! I just got my typical red bull vodka but they have free popcorn which is the high school basketball concession stand salty popcorn vibe which I LOVE. It smelled good in there so definitely will be back to try their food! Plus they had college hoop games on the TVs which is key - drinks and college basketball!

Any place that advertises pillow fights I'm in. Nice bartenders. Strong drinks reasonable prices! Didn't try the food but it looked good! Nice place to stop while in town!

Well Syds you have outdone yourself! I was starving and said I want a YUMMY sandwich! You delivered 2 absolutely scrumptious meals. I made my hubs split his with me because well we all know how it goes. He got the melt and I ordered the bigger than life tenderloin! So I took half of his and well I ate ALL of both! We had onion rings and just wow! Let me tell you if everyone does it listen to me now and go immediately and get some of this amazing food you are totally missing out!!

Great service!! And the food is great. Don't recommend karaoke night. The gentleman running it when we went was rude and condescending.

Local dive bar feel. If I lived closer to noblesville I could see this being a regular hang out spot. Big bar and a lot of table seating. My mom received a buy one burger and fries get one free email which was an offer we obviously couldn't refuse. But once we sat down and looked at the menus there were so many other things we wanted to try as well! We ended up getting the appetizer platter because we couldn't decide. I'm not a fried mushroom fan but other than that all the fried apps were delicious with a side of ranch! By the time we ordered our burgers I honestly was a little stuffed. If you're a cheesy person like myself, I would definitely ask for more cheese on the burger knowing it is shredded cheese instead of a slice. Also upgraded the fries to tater tots instead. Yum! We went on a Tuesday night and it was pretty busy then and they were playing a queen of hearts game to win a cash prize!

I ordered the pork tenderloin and it was the nastiest thing I've ever had the meat was still red I wasn't sure if that was their way of serving it but I took one bite and had to spit it into a napkin. It truly had me wishing I had stopped at the McDonalds I drove by earlier. Service was not good at all either.

We love this place!! Prefect for a quick bite or to sit and have a few drinks. We found Syd's when my husband was working in town and it quickly became one of our go to's. The servers are all friendly and upbeat. The atmosphere is homie , and welcoming. They even have a special bourbon bar upstairs that is loaded with all kinds of goodies. Definitely a stop we make if we are around town.

Favorite local bar! The cheese curds and fried mushrooms are chefs kiss. Don't forget to grab free popcorn and check them out for karaoke or bingo! Fantastic service and friendly staff. Love the low key vibe.

Brian has done fantastic updates to this Noblesville staple. Wait until you see what they have done with the upstairs. Ryan Davis is one of the nicest guys around town. I don't always go to Noblesville, but when I do, I always stop by and see my good friends at Syds.

Service was friendly. Do not order the food. I waited over an hour to get mine. Had to switch to go because it took so long. Got a burned burger (Syd's special??) and a small scoop of potato salad. And had asked for no bun due to gluten intolerance but they missed that part. Totally inedible. Will not be getting food from here again.

Stopped in here for a quick drink before dinner elsewhere. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Neighborhood bar vibe and super laid back. Long bar with lots of stools. Can't Note on the food but we would definitely go back again and try it!

First time at Syd's. Great local bar atmosphere. Food was well prepared. Service for drinks a little hit and miss as it was busy. Music was good. I will definitely return.

What a pleasant surprise. We stopped at Syd's for a quick lunch. I had 1/2 chef salad that was really great. The salad presentation was beautiful, is this bar food? My sister had a grilled cheese & crispy fries. She said the fries were perfectly crispy. The place looked great, very open & airy.

This place sucks since it's been bought out. They removed the wall between the bar and family dining so it's the loudest place in town. Have seen the owner inside drunk at a table twice so that feels professional. Both times I've been since they been bought they were out of main entrees just doesn't feel the same. Best thing to ever happen to Syd's was when they decided non smoking and this would've been a 3 star place then. But then and now it reeks outside of old fryer oil and in the back by family dining as well. Sorry but this is not a spot I want to or will go to anymore.

Wanted a quick bite to eat and the chance to watch some sports. Good regular crowd for lunch w/ a couple specials daily being offered. Will go and try this place again. Good service at the bar

Excellent vibe. Spent three hours here Saturday night with another couple. Brews, tenderloin, and Euchre. We walked in at 6p. Place was lively.

We stopped in on Saturday for lunch. They weren't busy but seemed under staffed as service was non existent. The cheese curds are delicious and popcorn for snacking was good. Our food wasn't great, soggy fries and my daughters burger was so burnt it couldn't be eaten.

I do love the bloody Mary's with tequila here, but the last time we ate here it wasn't good so we wont return for food. I would consider sitting on the bar and drinking a lot of bloody Mary's in the future; They are that good.

Tenderloin was thin and had zero flavor. Fish sandwich was slimy with gritty breading. They need much more focus on their food. Should of gone next door to Erikas. Service was good.

As we arrived at Syd's, it was midday in the middle of the week. There was plenty of parking. There was 20 minute parking for pickup and disabled parking. As we entered the establishment it was nice and cool as it is summer time. The tables were all cleared off. We sat at the high top table. We ordered beer which was ice cold! The burger and fries were tasty. We never felt rushed! Good prices! Thank you Syd's for a wonderful experience!

We love Syd's! You'll get the small town welcoming feel and the food is always great!

Not a bad bar, just mediocre (at best) service. Don't know why I have to ask for a check 5 times but it seems like that's the normal cadence there. Do they not want my money or what?

If your looking for a cold beer they are just fine. If your looking for the bar / restaurant that had great reputation for pub food , etc. Well it simply doesn't exist! New ownership slashed the portions and jacked the prices. The last three trips have been disappointing in almost everyway. No reason to return.

The hours don't appear to be accurate on Yelp. I called for takeout, couldn't get an answer on the phone, so drove to the location. Front door sign said "Closed Sunday." Yelp, when this was posted, said Syd's is open from noon to 9 pm. Later, I found these hours on their website: DINING HOURS Monday-Thursday: 11 AM to 9 PM Friday - Saturday: 11 AM to 10:30 PM Sunday: Closed BAR HOURS Monday-Saturday; 11 AM - Sunday: Closed (BAR CLOSING HOURS MAY VARY)

The staff here are the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever encountered. My family came in today and we had a bit of an emergency situation while there, and the entire restaurant pitched in to help. I have cried tears of thanks the entire day. There is a special place in my heart for Amber and her entire team. As we did not get to eat our meal, they boxed it up for us and we ate when we got home- the BLT was absolutely delicious, as was the catfish sandwich, chicken fingers and club sandwich, but the best was the chicken salad and potato salad. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you, Syd's.

It's a great watering hike to attend with great list of tavern food. Bartenders were great and I enjoy having a 24 oz domestic beer hit a good price. I have tried hamburger, fries, shredded pork tenderloin sandwich, tossed salad, fish n chips and spaghetti dishes. All were good!!

Best tenderloins I've had Syd's is a Noblesville tradition. Great bar and interior .service is great

Awful...the service was horrible!! We know they have good food, but it should not take an hour to get a sandwich.

Been coming here 20 years, and usually for the same burger and a beer occasionally. The atmosphere depends on which side of the swinging doors you sit on, as the bar area is in the front of the building and the family area is in the back. There's also an area upstairs that has a great secluded feel as you perch over and look down on the bar. It's a neighborhood place, not fancy, well worn chairs and booths, but that's the draw for me. Fried pickles are always a great start and you'll find the normal fair of Midwest food to include the tenderloin sandwich and several choices of burgers. Best part is no smoking in the dining area so that's a big plus on bringing the kids.

Ok so happened in this dive bar and ok its divey but seems cliquey. Service sitting at the bar was kind of slow. If you like hole in the walls...this is it.

I believe the window says Syd's Fine Food. And that's accurate. It's...fine. Nothing to write home about. Nothing to get upset about. It's just...okay. After seeing the Yelp reviews, I was admittedly apprehensive and went safe with my order. A club sandwich. Hard to mess up and usually tasty. It was good. I'd have it again. Friends got the fish and shrimp dinner...left a lot of fish on the plate but said the shrimp was good. Service is lacking. The server was great but it seemed like she was stretched thin among a lot of tables. Wasn't weird for us to go 10-15 minutes without seeing her. Overall, it was okay. I wouldn't rush back but if someone suggests it, I'll go back and have my trusty club again.

Cheap beer, always a good crowd, and of course fine food. The renovations look great, in particular the "howdy bub" whiskey lounge upstairs.

I really enjoyed this divey, small town, local bar. It was everything that I could have asked for on a rainy Saturday. The food was good, the beer was cold, and the people were friendly. Nobody was playing on the shuffleboard table while we were there, but it is a cool, prominent feature of the bar. The music was good, and it is also nice having the Touch Tunes option. The beer was ice cold, and not expensive at all. I think we got the Tall size and it was not more than $5-6, maybe not even that much. We ordered the fried pickles and the Tenderloin to split. Trust me, that is plenty of food for two people. The tenderloin, as others have described, is massive! It is literally bigger than your head. It was really good, and I loved the fried pickles. I enjoyed my experience and cannot wait to be back.

My husband and I stopped in this Noblesville staple, and we were very impressed. We loved the ice cold draft beers (at a nice price, too!), the fried pickles, and the tenderloin sandwich. The sandwich is massive (see picture) and is absolutely shareable. Best tenderloin sandwich I have ever had! I can't wait to go back again soon!

Rhonda -head bar.tender is awful. She is rude to her coworkers and customers. Food is terrible. Atmosphere is just a local dive bar. Fun place
