Our Story
Elevate your corporate gathering with unparalleled sophistication by scheduling an appointment with our event specialists, who are dedicated to curating an exquisite experience tailThe Mizpah Tower has watched over Syracuse for more than a century. Originally built in 1914 as the First Baptist Church, the space later echoed with concerts from The Band, Warren Zevon, Soul Asylum, and other legendary artists. Years passed. The building slept. And like the city it overlooks, it gathered a few scars along the way.
Today, those scars are part of its soul.
The Mizpah—our “Wine Sanctuary & Event Space”—is a celebration of that legacy. Owner Michael Greene saw in this Gothic landmark not just a venue, but a narrative: a beautiful old building with a past worth honoring and a future ready to host new memories.
“Mizpah” means watchtower—a word chosen during World War I to symbolize connection across places and lives. It feels fitting. This building has watched generations come and go. Now it’s watching a renaissance.ored to your organization's unique needs. Secure an unforgettable ambiance that embodies prestige and exclusivity, setting the stage for your company's exceptional achievements.
