The World of Beer bar and restaurant, located in Destiny USA in Syracuse, has announced that it will be closing at the end of the month. Owner Neil Patel shared the news on social media, stating that the last day of operation will be June 30, with a farewell party scheduled for June 21. Patel expressed his gratitude for the support over the years, mentioning the drinks served, pretzels enjoyed, and memories created with patrons.
In a separate message to syracuse.com, Patel revealed his hopes to collaborate with Destiny on rebranding the location with a different concept. The Syracuse World of Beer is one of 38 franchised locations for the company, headquartered in Tampa, and is the only one in New York state. The bar specializes in offering a wide variety of beers, including local craft brews from New York state, as well as national and international brands. The food menu features classic tavern-style dishes like burgers, tacos, flatbreads, and pretzels.
Within Destiny USA, the Bullfinch Brewpub, a locally owned brewery-restaurant, also offers a unique dining and drinking experience. The establishment opened in 2022, taking over the space previously occupied by a Gordon Biersch franchise. The addition of Bullfinch Brewpub adds to the diverse options for patrons visiting the shopping and entertainment destination.
