13 Best Bars in Ithaca

“Food was amazing! Had the Orchard Burger! Best burger I ever had along with ice cold beers. Recommend this place 100%. Jordan was our server and she was great!“

“There was a beard hair in my eggs and they made me a fresh plate. One server had the entire restaurant during breakfast- she was very sweet and did her best considering! Arguably the best part of the meal was the service. Coffee was some of the worst I've ever had and I've had iced coffee at Panera and various instant coffees. This was worse than that. We mostly dined because we were hotel guests. I'd go elsewhere if you aren't.“

“Amazing space great folks“

“I’ve always been intimated to go into this place. A bar based on bikes? But I like cocktails will I really like a bar with bikes? Um yes. Yes she did. Highly sought after beers on tap (per my husband) and a larger than expected cocktail menu. Pair that with live music at the absolute best volume. The kinda volume where you can still hear the date you’re on even if you don’t want to. I feel bad I’ve neglected this place for so long. Ten thumbs up. Thanks guys.“

“They have a good selection of beers on tap, friendly bartender, excellent music events in a very hip environment and located in the coolest part of town. I highly recommend the place. It reminds me of some of my favorite college town bars I used to go to years back. Michael Callahan“

“Great vibe, especially on Queer/LGBTQ+ nights. It's always a great vibe and fun time, love when Spirit Posse is performing for gay night and themed nights (Beyonce CowboyCarter was absolutely epic. Kim is a fantastic bartender, too, and very attentive and welcoming.

Parking: Has its own parking lot and after work hours if their parking is full there's more close by“

“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!“

“Always enjoy my visits, as a chicken lover, I don't miss a stop when in Ithaca. As professional of a "dive bar" staff as you will find.“

“Awesome food, fast service and great prices!!! Highly recommend!!! 5 stars!!!“

“We loved it here!!! Visiting from out of state and the locals and staff were amazing! Amber was the best, I want to come back just to visit her!!! Thank you everyone for making us feel welcome we had such a great time but sad there was no food lol! Amber you rock!!! Matt n Wanda“

“This is the bar I've been looking for since I moved to Ithaca. The bartender is friendly and funny. Drinks are reasonably priced (a rarity in this neighborhood) but there's still a large selection. The music playing was great, and the game was on a big screen TV right behind the bar, though I still spent a lot of time chatting with the people sitting next to me. I had a great time, and I'm looking forward to stopping in again.“

“Feel compelled to offer a 5 star review just to counter the campaign of Karen’s upset over then staying open 8 months ago over a flare up in COVID cases shown to only impact .001% of college age students. Stop the nonsense and pay attention to the statistics.“

“Always a great experience !! Check out my review on Ithaca food dude“
