“Really cool spot. Visiting from Nyack, Ny and it's my first time learning about Kava and having the full experience. I don't know how I haven't heard about this before! I felt super relaxed and I loved how people could just come together, and share the moment. Had great conversation, and no judging eyes. Do not leave Ithaca without coming here at least once!“

“Large group of college friends get together for dinner at this wonderful restaurant. Food was delicious. Something for everyone. Vegan, gluten free, and the gotta-have-beef men. Prices were reasonable; final tally not-so-bad even with drinks added in. Ray accommodated this group without a hassle. Would highly recommend going here again!“

“I'm from 10 minutes outside of Utica NY and I drive for Uber and Lyft so I'm always in Ithaca and Maru Ramen is the place to go, food is absolutely delicious and affordable. I always stop by Maru Ramen whenever I am in town.Parking: It's not to hard to find a place to park hereKid-friendliness: Kids can accompany there family.“

“Vibey, cozy, unique spot with huge selection of specialty liquors and fabulous staff. They do have snacks. I saw some cured sausages, cheese and sweet treats like Via's cookies.Since it's November, my current fave things to get there are the warm drinks! Hot Buttered Rum and Boozy Hot Cocoa!YUM!“

“The best places are the one you stumble upon at random. The Bike Bar was exactly that, after walking around the campus for a few hours my wife and I stumbled upon this bar and absolutely loved it. The staff was super friendly and accommodating with their knowledge on craft beer selection. We also enjoyed the jazz band that had played there that night. Very clean, very friendly, and a very fun place to hang out! We definitely will be going back again!“

“Ashley Cake, creator & owner of the wonderful Watershed, has converted the downstairs space into a terrific venue for terrific music, spoken word, comedy,open mikes, you name it. Lots of great taps, wine, etc. The staff is great, and there’s something different going on almost every evening. And it has rapidly become my favorite place…Check it out!“

“I'm sad I didn't know about this place sooner. The people are friendly, the service is great, the drinks are tasty, and well-behaved dogs are welcome inside! I wouldn't bring your pup on a night that's likely to be busy, though. Pool tables and a fireplace in the back. What's not to love?“

“My family and I went to the restaurant to celebrate my grandson & his mother's birthdays. I've eaten there before also with family. The food so good not super hot only what you add makes it hot. You can tell the food was fresh and very delicious. The server Kristopher was very courteous, and very helpful. We all appreciated his service. The restaurant did well hiring him. We live in Horseheads but Zocalo is our go to restaurant when we are in Ithaca.Parking: The restaurant is in a mall, so there's plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: I and my daughter-in-law have Wheelchairs. The person who sat us provide a table where both our chairs fit well.“

“Standard looking pub type restaurant with a good beer and drink menu. Food menu has the typical items (burgers, wings, salads, etc...).I had the boneless wings with the ale house sauce and my wife got crab cakes and onion rings. They both were much better than what you find at other places. Ale House sauce was just spicy enough and had great flavor. The crab cakes were the real deal and not crab with breading and filler.Service was good and very friendly.“

“Their sonic tonic is top notch. For hard cider aficionados, there are limited options. There are plenty of picnic tables in the backyard surrounded by lights. The bar has a pool table and popcorn is free. Chill atmosphere. Would definitely go again!“

“The Chanty is a staple and landmark for historical downtown Ithaca.Every visit here is chill and cheap.The ? sign is your signal to stop in and hang in an intimate place offering: darts, pool, and good ol juke player.Feels more local folk than college kids. A plus for us OG ithaca workers.It's been almost ~20 years since I started going . It was always the place to go after work drink and an '5 o'clock somewhere' place on a day off.The Chanty is an easygoing classic place to just have a drink with your friends.“
