The Verona venue combines golf simulators, a sports bar and private-event space. A rooftop patio is planned for spring 2027.
The Bunker at Turning Stone has marked its grand opening, adding an indoor golf and entertainment option across from The Bunker Turning Stone resort casino’s main entrance in Verona.
The Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce said in a November 9 release that it celebrated the opening the previous Friday, November 6. The company’s website also identifies the Turning Stone location as open.
Six bays and space for groups
The Chamber describes six golf bays: three primary bays, two VIP bays that can be combined for larger groups, and a Syracuse University-themed room. The venue uses Trackman golf simulators and includes a full-service sports bar, food menu and indoor video walls.
The release also lists live music and private rentals among the offerings. It does not supply a current performance calendar, prices or a full weekly operating schedule, so readers should check the venue before making plans.
Founder Troy Miller said the business aims to serve local residents as well as visitors coming to Turning Stone for golf, conferences, concerts and other events. That is the company’s stated rationale, not a measured claim about its economic impact.
Rooftop patio is still planned
The rooftop patio is expected to open in spring 2027, according to the Chamber announcement. It should not be treated as an amenity already available this fall.
For local readers, the opening adds an indoor recreation and gathering place as colder weather approaches. The release does not give employment totals, construction costs or projected attendance.
