About Ithaca Ale House

Ithaca Ale House is a pub-style restaurant offering a wide selection of beers and drinks, along with a food menu that features burgers, wings, salads, and other classic pub dishes. The boneless wings with ale house sauce are popular for their perfect balance of spice and flavor, while the crab cakes are made with high-quality crab and contain no breading or fillers. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and comfortable with good seating. Service is generally friendly and attentive, with knowledgeable staff who are patient and helpful. The restaurant is well-maintained, with clean bathrooms and a great beer selection at reasonable prices, including tall pours. The food is fresh, tasty, and well-presented, with generous portions. The burger is cooked perfectly with a good bun-to-meat ratio, and the meat’s seasoning, texture, and freshness are highly praised. Onion rings are crispy and flavorful, although some feel they could be thicker cut to better highlight the onion flavor. It’s a good place for families, with kid-friendly options and wheelchair accessibility at street level and good spacing. Parking can be challenging downtown, but overall, it provides a very good dining experience, especially for those seeking quality food and a solid beer selection.
