If there was one reason I’d recommend or return to the Ithaca NY area, it would be for the craft cocktails at Bar Argos. Moody eclectic terraced patio, craft master artists, unique concoctions all equate to stay, linger, and reluctantly leave.

Tasty drinks and great environment! Prices are a bit high ($14-18 for a cocktail)

Extremely disappointed with Argos tonight. Argos has been one of my favorite bars in Ithaca for a while now, and I was excited to bring my two hometown friends visiting this weekend from NJ. Unfortunately, the host denied my ID. I am 25 and my license is entirely real, but according to the host, as well as the bartender he consulted with, my license “cannot be verified as real”, despite my other two friends having the same state license as myself. Again, I have been to Argos many times, and have never had an issue. However, we had a good rest of our night at the other bars in town.

This Clarified Lassi is JUST like a cocktail I had in Mexico City at one of the world’s best bars, Handshake Speakeasy. this cocktail is smooth, refreshing bright and brilliant. Wow.

My wife and I stumbled upon this incredible outdoor bar last night, and it completely blew us away. The vibe was effortlessly cool… like stepping into a Moroccan tea room under the stars. Comfy, cozy, and beautifully styled, it was the perfect setting for a relaxing evening with great drinks and even better ambiance. We’ll definitely be back.

Such a good outdoor vibe! Beautiful garden with lights to sit in. Drinks were delicious. I loved the Queen Bee and want to try the Curious George next time. It seemed popular.

I came here the other night with me and 3 friends we got a drink (was average for being 17$) but then one of my coworkers/ acquaintance asked me what I was doing and said she wanted to stop by and say hi ! NOT DRINK just say hi then leave (we work 1 block away) . Once she got there she was immediately approached and asked her her ID she said “I’m not drinking just saying hi then leaving “ the server insisted she give her , her ID so she did turns out it was a fake ( unknowingly to me I didn’t know her age just knew it was around mine (I’m 21) ) and immediately the lady said we all had to leave bc we “brought someone underage” I told the lady I didn’t bring anyone then she said she “ joined your party right “ my coworker said she’d just leave but the lady said we All had to and gave me 0 opportunity to actually explain the situation then stormed off and started talking about our group loudly to her coworkers and when she Originally spoke to us she did it VERY LOUD and RUDE , it was very very crowded everyone was looking at us and this was very uncomfortable and embarrassing for us. We came on Saturday night the girl who treated us like this was young blonde white and skinny (easily not even 21 herself) I feel like this situation, especially my coworkers age Not even being known by the rest of the group Should’ve been dealt with completely differently, like is this really how you run your Establishment ? yes 100% ask the girl who is underage to leave but everyone else who already spent money and is ages 21-30 to leave ? Not giving us a chance to speak and doing it so loudly everyone was staring. Then proceed to go brag to her coworkers.

Mix Master (Leo I believe) was killing it last night. Perfect drinks, advanced palette game. A different story of menu and lots of good dealer's choice additions. Bravo
Finally, a good cocktail bar in Ithaca! The waiters are considerate and the cocktail menu has some curious gems in it. Drinks are well done. The space gives Art Nouveau. Fireplace, high ceilings, hardwood flooring, beautiful seating. Can't think of a bar in Ithaca that can compete with this.

Lovely place, drinks, music and people! Went for the first time this week and tried Arson at the Saw Mill and El Catrin which are tied on first place, Golden Fleece which was delicious and soft and the Brooklyn Straight, which I think I’ll order next time I come with a book

Hidden gem, amazing cocktails and the fact that we were in and old inn made the experience much more enjoyable than a typical bar or restaurant. I'm going back for sure!

Arty, cozy, dreamy and elegant! Every corner of the building is bursting with tasteful character without an ounce of clutter. The shared spaces offer everything you didn't even know you needed and the guest rooms are spacious, private and luxurious. The bathrooms are well lit, stocked and feature showers that are not just beautiful but experiential. I loved the coffee and snacks near the front desk with their kind and helpful staff. It's high end without being stuffy and homey without being kitschy, the best of all worlds come together at Argos Inn!
