They have demonstrated an ability to pull in national acts and bands that are perhaps past their time in the spotlight but still firing on all cylinders and get them to play in a small town in NY. The venue is gorgeous. The converted church really is built for the viewers in mind. The staff is very friendly and the small bar is perfect for a pre show drink. The town of Homer is quaint and has several Options for dining and parking. I plan on making the Center a regular part of my concert rotation.

We loved working with Mike this past weekend! When I reached out, he was thoughtful and responsive…read moreand helped work with me to find a package that fit within my budget. He kept communication open in the months prior to the wedding, helping us plan the reception and timing of each event, working with our reception to coordinate, and providing recommendations that fit our style as needed. He was organized, prepared, and had excellent communication throughout the planning process and wedding night. He helped us stay on time throughout the reception (and as the bride, that was SO helpful because I had no idea what time it was all night). I couldn't have imagined a more perfect evening, and that was in huge part because of DJ Mike. I received many compliments from wedding guests on Mike - we would highly recommend him!!

From the first contact, Mike was always professional, prompt, and it was clear he knew his stuff. Not only is he great at what he does, but he is also always trying to re-innovate and stay on top of the newest trends without getting distracted from making your event the best possible. Mike is a maven of his skill, and it would be easy to see his business expanding into a full service wedding company. He kept everyone engaged, tailored the music to our exact taste, and fit seamlessly into our wedding incorporating culturally traditional pieces, and fun engaging games. He also coordinated the music in a super complicated set up without a single hiccup (3 floors plus outdoor ceremony space). Mike collaborated well with the other vendors, and even gave us some great recommendations for other vendors we had not booked yet. He was available if needed before and day of, and was honestly, the reason the bride didn't stress the day of. Certainly worth every penny and more and we could not imagine having anyone else in his place!!! Thank you so much for going above and beyond, making our day absolutely perfect!

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.

We have found some of the bartenders to be stand-offish and would only call one of them really friendly, but that just rolled off our shoulders - all three of us are industry veterans.

The bartender was so incredibly rude to my friend that we will never return.

The bartender was really friendly and welcomed us and pointed to a table. He mentioned the rules on wearing masks and social distancing clearly. I got a trial by Wombat New England IPA and my partner got a cocktail. They were out pretty quickly and the drinks were good. The service was also good. While we were here, I also happened to use the restroom, which was clean and well maintained. This is a really good bar for having first and second dates if it's just a drink and conversation. The ambience is just right for that. They seemed to have a bike theme but I couldn't really see many more bikes. They also apparently offer bike storage if you are tipsy (check this with them. I remember seeing the sign but I can recall what exactly it said for sure). Definitely a solid five star bar experience.
