9 months agoPretty good bar, but a more pro-Israeli crowd than I would expect for a Ithaca establishment.
David Ngam
3 years agoA nice place for chlling. You can order beers, cocktails and food if you want. There's dart game and pool. Free pop corn by the way!
Arun Gayam
3 years agoVisited from out of town on a slow day and Kyle was super helpful letting us know what’s good in town. Very friendly place as well. I regret not taking one of the beers home for my friends to try.

Sondra
6 years agoSpacious glowing beer garden, welcomes dogs. Free popcorn. Plenty of local taps (double IPA to gose to grapefruit beer) and you can always get your PBR in a can. A food truck on-site. Beautifully diverse array of patrons, from those who do like PBR in a can to those who like their fruity fun cocktails to those who dig a good gourmet double stout. Locals and grad students alike adore this place. Don't come here on first dates or you will run into too many people you know. Do get Franco's pizza from next door and bring it in with you.

10 months agoStopped by during an impromptu 30-ish year college reunion with friends. Immediately recognized the historic old tables from the Chapter House (R.I.P.) and the sign from Micawber's (R.I.P.). Lovely bartender, very nice selection of beers, pretty crowd. Really need to chill on the popcorn salt though!
Benjamin
2 years agoOne of the best bars in Ithaca. Huge tap selection that is constantly rotating and they also have a great liquor selection. Only one of three bars in all of Ithaca with any good rum. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Bouncers at the door when it's busy to insure everyone is of age as well. Thankfully 21 also means no children here (even a nice sign) No actual food, but they do have a free, self-serve popcorn machine when you need a snack to balance out. They also allow you to bring in food. Large outdoor section outback as well (open all year, but no heaters). Lots of picnic tables and they allow food from outside restaurants (grab some Franco's pizza a couple doors down) - also until the Winter came, they had an awesome food truck parked out back (Yxi’S Arepas & Gordito).

3 years agoDefinitely a local favorite! Awesome place with great people and drinks. Darts and pool inside, along with tables and games, lots of outdoor seating, too. Bathrooms are in the basement. They don't serve food, but often have complimentary popcorn. Water cooler and cups available to help yourself. They do allow outside food. $10 minimum the credit cards.

year agoWe decided to give this place a try and so glad we did! What a nice little hidden gem. We went before 5 pm, and the craft beer was $4! Can't wait to go back when the weather is nicer to go to the beer garden. We didn't get food but we did have the free popcorn! Don't snooze on this place!🍻
