Really nice little bar next to the theater. You have a drink then watch a show what better than that. The drinks were nice. Place was super clean.

Bad customer service. I expect my bartender to be upbeat, friendly and happy that I chose their place to kick back at. I got the very opposite. Boo Also, no happy hour there.

Comfortable homey place to grab a cocktail. They have a wide variety of drinks and liquors as well as many sober options. Ashley made us three great cocktails, including a wonderful Sazerac. There’s jazz music playing downstairs.

Ashley is great. Ana is great. The vibe here is great. Love the notes in the wall. This made my day. There is so much positivity. Music in the basement, the Jaz jam, was great. Music downstairs 7 Days week. Go support this establishment!

I actually have never been here. Was Googling a place to stop tonight in Ithaca for a couple drinks. After reading the “owners” responses to negative reviews, you can chalk this one up to a big nope. I get that some Karen can just have a bad experience and blatantly write a BS review, but wow, show some level of professionalism. I overlook bad reviews when owners show an ounce of humility. Unfortunate
very cool atmosphere and a good mix of unique and classic drinks. also love the amount of NA drinks!!

This was my first time at Watershed, and unfortunately, it’ll be my last. I came in just looking for a cold beer and a chill atmosphere. Instead, I got dismissed multiple times by the bartender, who seemed more interested in gossiping with the bouncer than doing her job. When I finally got her attention, the beer she served was warm—not exactly what you want after a long day. She had a noticeable attitude, like she couldn’t be bothered. Honestly, if she hates her job that much, maybe it’s time for a new one. Super disappointing experience overall. This was Tuesday 4/15.

If you're looking for a spot to grab drinks and catch up with friends, the watershed is a great spot. They have a large variety of different cocktails and is open much later than most places in Ithaca. The drinks are on the pricier side.

The Watershed is one of my favorite spots in Ithaca! Their cocktails are top-notch, whether you’re looking for something classic, creative, or non-alcoholic. Love that they have a great selection of drinks for everyone. The vibe is cozy and perfect for catching up with friends, especially before or after a show at the State Theatre. Always a great experience!

One of my favorite bars in the area! The drinks are all excellent and the atmosphere and vibe are always chill and inviting. They also have acoustic music in the bar some nights and a separate venue in the basement for louder bands. If you're in the area stop in and have a drink or two!
