    Chanticleer is a great old family-run historic bar that's been here forever, since 1946 or so. It…read morehas a tavern-like atmosphere. It's real and local, not tourist-style or tourist-price. Dark. For a few beers and a buzz. If you can't relax in a dive, just take your selfie under the neon sign and roll on. No hard feelings. We'll be here. (Jul 2026)

    What a s*^%%# little bar…read more I came here at the recommendation of a local, but these folks are running game on drunk kids late at night. I ordered a double tanqueray and tonic and watched the guy pour the drink. Poorly. (Pun intended) He put the tonic gun on full blast and dribbled tonic into the glass. The bottle stopper was closed, so he had to finger it open as he continued to blast tonic into the glass. I could tell the drink was mostly tonic and said, "Hey friend, that's not a double!" He looked offended and swore it was because they don't use anything to measure their tonic, they just rely on the bottle dribbling out the so-called proper amount. I should have walked away before he sat it in front of me. I took one sip and surprise-surprise, it's basically just tonic water with a touch of a tanqueray. This was my first drink of the night, and I know it's wrong, but neither the guy nor the girl behind the bar were interested in making it properly. Pour out two shots. It's not that hard. But if you're purposefully pouring short booze to drunk people knowing you'll get away with it, it IS too hard. Don't come here. I know at least one local likes it, but nobody likes being charged double for a single anything. Or maybe the play here is to just order stuff in bottles. That way they can't cheat you out of liquor I paid $14 for a glass of tonic and MAYBE a shot of tanqueray. MAYBE. I feel like I paid $14 for the privilege of writing a crappy review. I absolutely got my money's worth.

Punched in GPS address and headed out. 10 minutes later, right off the main drag in beautiful,Pittsford. Glad I hit Delta Sonic this morning so MON BEBE (my RAV-4) looks great and fits into the Vibe. Plenty of handicap parking, front door 50 feet from parking lot. Walked in on crutches, baby steps, wearing a full fall harness with "flare" patches sewn on. Great Music, 2-3 deep at the bar, bar full of laughing, happy, amazing people! Then about 6 men peeled off from the large group and surronded me, asked why the fall harness, why the crutches? Kept asking questions, then I said, "I was blown up in a backdraft explosion ITLOD" then, more questions....... then I asked, any Military, family friends, sandbox, IEDs? Then the stories flowed of family friends, Vets, Military, love of country. WOW! Then I pulled out PRONEDRIVER.COM cards and explained I was injured ITLOD, as a Vol. FF, since my injury I designed and my gearhead fiends built, 2 PRONE Tractors, 2 Prone Water Crafts, 3rd Prone Motor Vehicle (RAV-4 in parking lot and picture on card). They asked what I wanted to drink, OMG! How nice, I said I just drink Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, 5 seconds later a diet coke was thrust into my hand. I reached for cash and they laughed at me, said I was thier guest. WOW ! Where am I ? Did I crash, am I in Heaven? Wonderful bar, clean, spotless, handsome men and beautiful womem, amazing sound system and amazing choices of songs! I explanded in College I was a Bouncer/Body Gaurd/ Sparing Partner. But I never, ever worked at a bar as amazing as this place ...... THIRSTY'S. Whoever, bought this, built this, owns, this, designed this place is a GENIUS ! I was asked more questions about the cards and PRONEDRIVER. I explained initially everything, the tractors, water craft, Motor Vehicles were just designed by me and my friends/gearheads/Angels built them so I could get around Prone as I was in intense pain and couldn't sit. The, I was approached by Pascal, a Professor at a design College. Said he was tasked by the DOD and VA to build a vehicle for our Injured Military, injured ITLOD by IED explosions, unable to sit in intense pain ...... LIKE ME. OK I gave them all my ergonomic drawing, pictures everything for free. 2 years later Pascal called me and said the design College, DOD and VA had shut down the program. I asked why and was told, MONEY and LIABILITY. I said bad words and then said, WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT ! YOU DON't GIVE UP On our INJURED MILITARY, EVER. AT THAT POINT I TOOK THE LOAD. PRONEDRIVER.COM on Facebook Tom Smurthwaite on Facebook PRONEDRIVER on YouTube 60 second video of me (voice and a face made for radio) 60 second video of Prone Rav-4 and a 60 second video of a beautiful sunset from the Prone pontoon boat 2 miles out. One last thing, for the last 25 years I'd type PRONEDRIVER and PRONEDRIVER.COM into Search Engines, and NOTHING, until last week. NOW ....every Search Engine and my Buddy in England and friends in Europe, yup .... it's everywhere ....... GLOBAL. YIKES Now what I do every day and all night (pain only lets me get 10-20 minute cat naps) I'm up all night curled up in a fetal position,hugging a pillow, and typing on my laptop to, Generals of Commands who were in the sandbox from 2000-2020 and where we lost 4,000 to IEDs and 30,000-40,000 were blown up by IEDs and came home with a variety of injuries. My task to try to get the Pronedriver idea out to them so the 22 a day doesn't get worse. Your Bar, last night was the first bar I've been in, in 34 years. I was instructed by my medical staff to take a night off, listen to music, drink a diet coke and meet people. See I was having problems, the load that I've taken on was getting to me. I was going outside at midnight and saying prayers and asking for help from GOD and Jesus as I had been getting overwhelmed. That is why my medical staff was getting concerned, turn out I need not have worried, YOUR BAR, THIRST'S, my medical staffs directive. I hope you know that THIRST'S is MAJIC and it's filled with ANGELS, staff, patrons, just one after another. Just increadable. You refilled my tank with confidence, inspiration, HOPE and LOVE. I hope you realize that now I'm back on track, back on task. What you bar did last night is causing me to come up with new ideas, new messaging ideas, new ways to reach our injured Military. Your Bar is saving LIVES, thank you, GOD BLESS YOU !

For years, I had no issues--until one of the security guards, an older light-skinned man with dreadlocks who has worked there forever, began targeting me for no reason. On multiple occasions he acted aggressive and confrontational toward me, even though I never raised my voice or reacted negatively. The last incident was the worst. He disrespected me in a way no customer should ever experience, threatened to "f** me up,"* and had me banned despite the fact that I never did anything to him. His hostility seems to stem from the fact that he doesn't like someone I happen to associate with--someone who also never disrespected him. What makes this even more concerning is that the owner appears to allow this type of behavior. I've seen this guard act out for years, and instead of correcting it, it feels like it's been encouraged. Many people I know have had negative experiences at this bar, and some have even lost their lives due to the environment created when drug activity is allowed inside. I've spent thousands of dollars here over the last 17 years, and never have I been disrespected the way I was by someone who is supposed to ensure customer safety. I considered speaking to the owner directly, but based on what I've witnessed, I truly believe she condones this behavior from her staff. After nearly two decades of loyalty, I can confidently say I will never return.

    the year 1978 ~ walked into Petes one Friday afternoon and never walked out. Sat down and got 3…read morerocks for a buck. I was a sophomore at Ithaca College. I continued to go to Petes for the next 6 years. I had graduated from I.C. and stayed in Ithaca and had a Job at I.C. ~ Back then it was a locals bar only ~ no students went there but me and a couple of friends. Lisa and Pat ( the owners) were so NICE. Ithaca college students were going to the Dugout, The Pines, McCawbers, Simeons, and the Haunt back then. After I graduated from I.C. I really became a regular , after work each day, at Petes. I don't even know if the term "Dive bar" existed. ? I was an avid pool player and we started a pool team in a new league in the Tompkins County area. Petes Pool team played every Tuesday ? night home and away. It was so much fun and we did well as a team. Times did change in the mid 1980's as a few more students from I.C. started visiting Petes. Not a lot but a few. The best time was on Friday afternoons from around 3 pm to 9 pm when happy hour was celebrated. I think that is my fondest memory. I met and made a lot of new friends at Petes and I became more of a local and not an "out of towner from Cape Cod". Even a lot of my past political science professors had their stools at the bar. I really miss those days and think that was when I was happiest in my life. ! I have been back to Ithaca a few times since I left in the mid 80's and my first stop is always Petes ! Yes it has changed just a bit, but it brings back such fond memories. Talk about Nostalgia. What a great time it was . David H.
