One of my favorite bars in Ithaca. Super friendly staff and cheap prices! Plus, they have a backyard for the summer and a fire place for the winter!

As a part of my Sperm Donation World Tour of the USA, after a couple of beautiful hikes in the local area, I decided to venture out on a miny pub crawl of the Ithaca. 2nd stop was here some pool tables inside and a bit more livelier outside was a beautiful mural.

I'm sad I didn't know about this place sooner. The people are friendly, the service is great, the drinks are tasty, and well-behaved dogs are welcome inside! I wouldn't bring your pup on a night that's likely to be busy, though. Pool tables and a fireplace in the back. What's not to love?

I went there with a friend for karaoke it's full of students but that's what makes them money. They had a great crowd but I wasn't into it so I left early otherwise highly recommend this place. Every Friday they have karaoke except one Friday a month they have a DJ

Hostile over painted rocks. Bartenders will make ya drink a water and still refuse to serve you after waiting. I understand the ban on me, but don’t take it out on others who didn’t flip your ashtrays.
