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

Super cute place.

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!

Highly recommend Jazz Night on Wednesdays! We ordered the nut and olive plate and the cocktails Hot Priest and Flora and Fauna. All were great! Service was very quick and no wait for seating.

We enjoyed drinks out on the patio, great bar to sit outside and relax with the unique craft cocktails. We were welcomed and brought to a table right away, and you order drinks and pay using a QR code on the table. Our drinks came out quickly. Great spot for a date night, would definitely visit again if we're in the area.

Very cute bar with nice cocktails. They could be a bit more creative and well balanced for the atmosphere but will definitely be going back!They also have a food truck and live music when it is nice out!
