We’re taking over Syracuse’s newest poutine, burger, and craft beer spot, and playing all kinds of bocce there!

We’ve got a private court in a private room with its own bar, its own (2) televisions, and other games (darts, pinball, cornhole and Super Nintendo) for when you are in between games.

There’s no football (its the week off before the Super Bowl) so what else are you going to do on Sunday?

New Year’s Eve minus 30

Syracuse has a tradition of expensive formal New Year’s Eve parties, but for those who want an inexpensive, informal, fun party, there hasn’t been many options. Well, that’s all changing. As usual Turbo Bocce has you covered. We are turning back the clock 30 years and celebrating New Year’s Eve 1988. We will have music videos from 88-89, video games from 88-89 (including Ducktails, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the very first Madden Football, and Super Mario 2 & 3), 1989 Jeopardy, 1989 Price is Right, and vintage 88-89 prizes to give away!

Before the Italian Fest bocce tournament started I said on Facebook “Last year we won 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th place. Lets add 4th to the collection!” In retrospect I should have clarified. I wanted us to win 1st, 2nd, 3rd, AND 4th, and 5th too. Not just fourth … but just fourth is what we won. Congrats to Mike, Allison, Monica, and Tim for doing better than anybody else in the league, but lets face it, as a league we earned ourselves a big slice of failure cake.
