A little bit of everything, done well and simply. Great cocktails, yummy small bites (locally sourced), and a great selection of local wines, spirits, and beer. Also an eco-friendly establishment!

Nice environment, great space. Good beverages including cocktails. Crowded when I was there, very limited food options. Good for drinks.

Awesome. Local. Trendy but not hipster-tastic. Owner and operator are on site usually and are warm and inviting people. Great place to hang out and have a pint, with free Wi-Fi, great food and drink.

Beautiful historic building! Great place to study, read a book, grab a drink with friends or even have a pot of midnight coffee! Great hours, never change.

My favorite bar in Ithaca. Best old fashioned in town. You can drink tea if you're not into alcohol. Cool relaxed vibe.

A bit too up scale for me. If you want something and bit more classier than this place is for you. The restroom is amazing. Many useful things you might need for a night out can be found there 😉
