Wonderful bar for drinks. I've been here a couple times and have sat both inside (darker, moodier,…read moremore intimate) and outside (livelier, great when the weather is nice, more relaxed). Very unique cocktails! My first visit, I tried the ruby slipper, braulio sour, and the mango lassi. The mango lassi is incredible! It is my favorite drink at Argos! The ruby slipper and braulio sour were also quite tasty but I preferred the ruby slipper a tad more. My second visit, I tried the grapefruit soda (not artificial tasting at all), the Shark Juice (tasted a bit too much like cologne, wasn't a fan), and the Gigi (couldn't taste the hojicha, liked the concept more than the execution). I would get the Gigi again, but would pass on the Shark Juice. Sitting inside, I enjoyed the quieter and calmer atmosphere as well as the soft lighting. The interior decor is very cosy and slightly eclectic. I came with a friend on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty which was nice. The outdoor patio space is very nice- I like the lanterns on the walls and the whole space is quite charming. I left with a few mosquito bites though. Overall, I would recommend Argos Inn!

But the cheese curds are EPIC!!! I have yet to have a bad meal; the cooks are absolutely amazing and incredibly talented. And the service is absolutely perfect. They manage to find the perfect balance of personable and friendly yet not annoying or too much. They have a lot of people who play pool there regularly which is interesting to watch, and can be quite funny and entertaining. Drinks are reasonably priced and delicious and it has a definite hole in the wall-dive bar feel but a top tier staff who clearly know what they are doing. I heard there's been a change in management or ownership and all I can say is HALLELUJAH!!! Because they are my favorite spot and I cant say enough good things about my new home away from home. Don't try it unless you are ready to find your new fave spot---Ithacas best kept secret!!!!

Many restaurants in town had long waits, so I was pleasantly surprised when we were able to walk right in... until I realized the place was nearly empty. There were two men playing pool and a couple of people sitting at the bar, and everyone seemed surprised to see us walk through the door. Our server was friendly and told us to sit anywhere. When I asked why it was so quiet, she explained it was the slow season. We looked over the menus and tried ordering chips and guacamole--only to learn they were out of guacamole. Next, we tried mozzarella sticks--also unavailable. As we looked for a third option, my son asked if their chicken wings used a dry rub. The server said she'd check with the cook... and went over to ask one of the guys playing pool. She returned to tell us he was not only the cook but also "a very good pool player." We then noticed no one in the restaurant had food in front of them, the air had a dingy smell, and the whole atmosphere felt off. At that point, we decided not to stay. Back in the car, I checked Yelp again and realized most of the glowing reviews were from five years ago. This might have been a great spot in the past, but based on our experience, it seems it's no longer the vibrant local hangout it once was. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

The Greenhouse, with its cafe-by-day and lowkey bar-by-night atmosphere is perfect for this. I arrived at 3pm and there were two table occupied, with a few more folks trickling in between the time I arrived and 5pm. This was ideal for a quiet afternoon of studying and working. I note this, because the space can become much livelier later at night, when folks transition to (delicious) cocktails and enjoy occasional live music. I recommend the Blue Skies gin cocktail, but I'm looking forward to trying multiple others on their menu. I ordered chicken sliders, which had a great aioli. Felt reasonable for $12 -- could easily be shared with another person. The interior is delightful, with a gorgeous seated bar and lots of healthy plants. The people working were lovely too. Happy to have a new spot to haunt.

But while Dos Amigos is serving up regret, Tres Leches is downstairs mixing up some of the best drinks in town. Birthdays? Celebrated here. Vibes? Immaculate. Drinks? Worth every penny. We tried the Dad Joke ($15), Mango Margarita ($16), Tres Leches ($16), and Second Dam ($14). The Dad Joke was the clear winner for me -- sweet, smooth, and probably funnier than half the actual dad jokes I've heard. My friend, on the other hand, was all about the Second Dam, which proves they have something for every taste. Compared to Level B or Hideaway, Tres Leches is in a league of its own.

I sat at the bar as I was solo. Ashley the barkeep was great. The place was crowded and only got more filled up as I had my meal. By the time I finished the place was packed. Ambiance is the Hollywood - has not changed in like forever. The same as it was when I went to school in the '70's. The barstools could use a refurbish of the seats they feel like the original seats.
