Cool space, great cocktails. Service was kind of cold, but it didn't affect overall positive experience.

Just an awesome place with a great vibe. Our guest didn't want a drink and was happy to find tea, good tea and tastefully presented..
Michael Arbour
Cool spot, good drink menu, friendly service. They have these holes in the exposed brick wall where people leave rolled up paper notes for other people to read, which is kinda fun.

Great place to relax and have a drink, friendly knowledgable staff. Just dont go here if you expect to party in a larger group, this is a bar for relaxation and work not drunken stupors 😂

A beautiful core component to the Ithaca Nightlife. Classic fixtures, courteous staff, and quality drinks from cocktails to beers.

Cheese plates, bourbon cocktails, and cookies galore highlight this NY-style gastropub with an urban clientele. Cheeky monkey garlic dip is a must!

Lovely place to grab a drink and lite snack. This place has good accoustics and it is easy to hold a conversation there without having to shout to be heard.

One of the more upscale/classy bars in the commons. Come here for delicious and complex drinks and a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere.
