9 Best Cocktail Bars in Ithaca

“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!“

“Amazing food, friendly service and reasonably priced!“

“Good beer and drinks. wonderful helpful staff“

“This is a nice restaurant and the food is pretty good. It gives a cool speakeasy vibe, wish the menu was a little larger like other French restaurants Ive been to but its perfectly ok. Like I said speakeasy so limited menu, smaller open kitchen which can get the place a little smoky but it smells good.“

“The Rook is always a must-visit whenever we’re in town! The menu is full of flavorful dishes, and their cocktails and beverages are equally impressive. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. The staff goes above and beyond - Manny in particular is friendly, attentive, and a joy to chat with. We can’t recommend The Rook enough for great food, drinks, and an unforgettable experience😍🙌“

“Best latin American food in Ithaca! Their new bar has the best margaritas!“

“Chef Joey has a gift for elevating meals both in flavors and textures. I wish I lived closer, I’d be here at least once a week…“

“Love the atmosphere! Great staff!“

“We stayed at a nearby and wanted a real hot breakfast not one prepared and set out for everyone. This was not even a block away. We arrived right after they opened at 8:30 am so they were not busy. We were greeted immediately and told to sit where we wanted. Our drink orders were promptly taken. I ordered a latte and it was delicious. For breakfast my husband created a ham & mushroom omelette and I had the Farmhouse breakfast with fried eggs and sausage. The sausage was different I could definitely taste the herbs used, it was good. The breakfast potatoes were cooked just the way I like with skins on and browned. If we return to Ithaca I would definitely return for breakfast but they serve lunch as well.“
