It has been about 10 years since I last visited Ithaca Beer Company. The last time we came here we celebrated friendships and it was my first time of coming to Ithaca. We had a wonderful time. This time, I ordered the vegetarian chorizo burger. The burger It came with large cut potato fries. My only issue stemmed from our waiting for our orders for well over 30 minutes. We placed our orders the same time as our friends. Yes they received their orders within 10 minutes. Our server asked if we placed our burger orders. We said yes. The burger tasted decent but a little cold. The fries tasted cold. I felt we got overlooked and ignored. I do like the ambience. It felt relaxed and chill. read more

This place is a fun place to eat! The service is great. Our server answered every question and gave us great suggestions. We got a burger and a chicken sandwich and tried several of their beers with the flights. It was a great place to take a break from exploring to refuel for the rest of the day! read more

Great place for beer and a burger. We came after seeing all the amazing photos of pizza and burgers. But unfortunately they aren't serving pizza and only had one burger on the menu. The food was good and the beer was yummy. Will have to try again when the outdoor areas are more active. read more

This was my third or fourth time at the Ithaca beer Company. The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable. They always have a select few beers that you can only get at the brewery and I am always excited to try them. This trip it was the Indian Pale Lager. The food does change occasionally and tonight we decided to try the chicken sandwich which was almost like a chicken cutlet it was beyond incredible. read more

The food and beers are excellent. The outdoor patio is beautiful, but swarming with wasps. I liked the friendly service. The butchers board is recommended. read more

Our large group came on a Saturday late afternoon and waited 45 min for a table. We got a few beers while waiting: I recommend the apricot wheat, tropical ipa and blue raz sour. The Cornell mule was also good. I had the chicken bites, fry flight and Cornell chicken sandwich. The fry flight comes with ketchup, honey mustard and ranch. Not a fan of the ketchup as it tastes more like marinara, and the fry flight is quite overpriced for the amount. The fries have a good crispy exterior with a soft and airy interior. Chicken bites were good, not overly battered and comes with a tasty spicy yum yum sauce. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, and the chicken was cooked well. Service was decent, and food came out timely. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The casual picnic tables outside only allow drinks and fries. They have corn hole and frisbee golf outside, and shuffle board inside. read more

Food: 4/5 | Service: 3.5/5 | Experience: 3/5 My party of 6 came for dinner on the weekend. We expected a wait but was told our table would be ready soon - that "soon" turned into around 20-30 minutes of standing around. Once we were seated, it took quite a long time for us to get served, and while our drinks arrived relatively quickly, we waited around 45 minutes for our food to arrive. I had ordered the lava lamp mocktail and the taproom burger. The mocktail was a bit fizzy, sweet, and a pretty pink color; it was very enjoyable. The burger was a bit dry, but the sauce was able to mask it. Overall, food was ok and prices were fair, but the wait was very long. read more

Ithaca Beer Company might be one of my favorite local beers I've had when it's available at a bar I go to. Their Flower Power is iconic and strong. So when I was up here for a mini weekend trip, I made sure we stopped by here. Their flight is $12 where you can get 4 different 4 ounce pours. Pretty good deal and 4 ounces is a lot. Definitely try their seasonals as the "Core Beliefs" you can try anytime. We also got food to take with us. The Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich ($17) is a hit with their chipotle buttermilk marinated chicken with Flower Power pickles and aioli sauce on brioche bun. We also had their Spinach & Mushroom Pizza ($18) which we also enjoyed. A bit oily as you'd expect from a pizza. Consisted of sautéed mushroom blend, kale, spinach, garlic oil base, and mozzarella. It's also worth considering buying a case of beer here if you really enjoy the beer as they're sold at a discount. I picked up a box of 10 Flower Power, which as 16 ounce cans for $18. That's under $2 a can! My local beer store would sell these for $15 a pop (markup is crazy). read more

If you are looking for a place to get some delicious pizza and try some great beers, this is it! The portion sizes are enough to share which makes it more fun to try more items on the menu. I'm not a big beer drinker but our waitress did a great job with helping me decide what to try based on what I told her I liked and didn't. The outside seating is so nice too! read more

You're not gonna get the best experience if you come here for the food rather than the beer. My first experience here was just drinks, which was awesome- the apricot wheat is delicious. Service is my biggest concern here. They close the kitchen far before the restaurant does and they should make that clearer- you need to come more than an hour before the restaurant closes if you want food. Otherwise, good place to get drinks read more

The food and drinks here are pretty decent (taproom burger is always a good bet) and the outdoor space is nice but we've had a few instances of pretty meh service. On a recent visit we got there about 730, well in advance of the 9 pm closing. Were told it was an hour wait for an outdoor table and a 15 minute wait for an indoor table, even though there were multiple tables open. Maybe it was a staffing issue? When we were seated, service took forever and was bad - no water refill until we asked, took forever to take away our empty glasses, had to go get our own silverware when the food finally came. It's mostly kids working here and it feels like they don't really care. We brought out of town friends and won't make that mistake again, as we'd rather leave our guests with a better impression of our town. read more

The beers are diverse and excellent. Everyone at the table would give them 5/5. The service was quite good. 4/5. The food was excellent bar food. 4/5. The appetizers the table ordered were the bacon nibs (pork belly and hot honey), poutine, and the butcher board (meat and cheese plate). All were excellent and eaten quickly. The table had a selection of sandwiches- the highlights were the hot roast beef and the Cornell-style chicken. Definitely worth the drive out of the main area of Ithaca to enjoy this place. read more

What could be better than fresh beer from the tap at Ithaca Beer Company? The highlight of this visit was the pumpkin beer. July is the best time to get pumpkin beer (who knew) when it's at its freshest. This pumpkin beer was so fresh and so smooth that my husband and I didn't want to order anything else. We even purchased a few packs to take home. We visited during a storm so the outdoor space was closed. A total bummer because it looked absolutely gorgeous! Next time, I hope. The inside was of course packed and there was a long wait for a table. Luckily a spot opened up at the bar which is first come first serve! They've got a pretty large food menu with pretty typical brewery fare. Think nachos, pizza, burgers, etc. The pepperoni pizza was thin crust and super cheesy - my fave. We also shared poutine which was a hit (when is it not?!). They have super cute merch, fun flight combos and of course all the beer you could get your hands on. My toxic trait is that I get drunk at breweries and like to spend too much money. So, now I have plenty of Ithaca beer to keep me going and a cool new tie dye tee. A win! read more

I think the ambiance and food is a better than the beer, since they are a brewery, that is sad. The 4 stars is for the general atmosphere, fries and chicken sandwich. The beer I did not find particularly interesting outside of one of the sours (I had a flight), which I don't normally like, so kudos for that. I think it is a nice place to grab a meal, but I prefer other beers to theirs. read more

Great service! Fantastic with kids. Relaxed vibe. Wish they had another GF option or two.

We were seated immediately. We had a flight each. We had no beer complaints. We shared the seasonal salad and the Cornell chicken sandwich. Both were awesome! Hand cut fries come with a seasoned ketchup that was delicious. We sat at a table, played shuffle board and enjoyed the lawn. I highly recommend the lawn! read more

The atmosphere is great, they have a real nice outdoor area although not sure when it opens because we've tried on a few warm days and they weren't sitting outside. But the inside is spacious and nice. The food is decent and the beer is fine it's just nothing spectacular, totally drink able but since it's a brewery you'd hope it be more notable. It's worth an average place that's worth a stop. read more

Lovely place to get food and a beer at - I came here two times (once last year and once this year) and the food and beer is consistent. I especially love the outdoor seating during the summer time. I got the fried chicken sandwich the first time and it was delicious. The second time, I got the smokehouse chicken sandwich (grilled chicken) and it was surprisingly flavorful with some sweet, savory sauce and a piece of bacon to really bring the flavors out and balance out the typical blandness of grilled chicken. Service here is good, very busy though especially on a nice day out. So, good to call ahead to reserve, but walk-ins are also ok (I did a walk-in, waited about an hour, came at 6:30pm). read more

We had a nice stop here after hiking Buttermilk! This was my second visit but first in many years - we enjoyed a lot about our ~hour and a half here. The views/outdoor area are unbeatable on a hot summer day. We enjoyed the ample seating they had out in the beer garden area and the staff was friendly and able to handle the high volume that comes through. You can make a reservation for their full menu seating OR enjoy the limited menu out in the beer garden. A couple of things did really miss the mark on our visit, most important being the beer. We ordered two of the flights on the menu and each beer we tried tasted SO watered down and flat. I've had the Apricot Wheat many times and was excited to have it directly from the brewery...it tasted like apricot flavored water. We arrived and ordered right at opening so I am wondering if that made a difference? We both thought we were just losing our minds, because how could ALL of the lines be serving up sub-standard beer? It was super bizarre. If you're ordering from the limited menu outside, the fried chicken sam is the way to go. I needed a vegetable in my life and thought the kale caesar would do the trick, but it was literally just a mountain of kale with croutons, cheese and dressing - steeply priced at $11. The salad was edible but would benefit from some fresh basil and a bigger variety of greens. The huge kale stems made every bite a workout somehow?! I would still come back after a hike and order something else - maybe it was just a rough day. Still very much worth a visit if in Ithaca! read more

What a wonderful afternoon... Really enjoyed the food and drinks. Cheddar soup, beet salad (2x), burger, lager, mule, cider--can't wait to enjoy it all again. Service was top notch: the server really understood the assignment. Wonderful music from Redd and the Paper Flowers. Kids playing in the field like it was Mayberry. Loved the patio ambiance. read more

First timers here! My partner and I checked out Ithaca Beer Co on a cloudy, cool Sunday around 5pm and it was busy! We were quoted at 40 mins so we gave the hostess our phone number so that they could text us when the table was ready. In the mean time, we ordered a couple of flights at the bar and then scored a couple bar seats for dinner. They have lots of seating inside at tables/the bar and outside. The staff were busy but friendly and attentive nonetheless. We tried the Kale Salad and requested the side portion which was HUGE for a side portion. The Cheddar Ale Soup is insanely rich and delicious! You can compare it to beer cheese. We also ordered 1 pepperoni pizza and 1 white pizza. They were both delicious, but the white pizza was our favorite! We thought the pepperoni had too much pepperoni. We really enjoyed the hops flight, especially Flower Power which tasted better than I remember their bottles tasting. We can't wait to come back!!! read more

Beer, chicken sandwiches, great views and friends is a winning combination for a spectacular time. Arrived at the Ithaca beer company around noon and there was plenty of parking and space but when we left about 2 the place was getting pretty crowded so plan accordingly. We were given bracelets at the door to indicate our IDs were checked which made ordering for food easier and faster. Both the inside and outside are open which two bodegas to order from, one with a smaller limited menu and the other the full menu! The Frut was a good sour, definitely on the lighter side for a sour in my opinion but a nice option for a sunny day. The chicken sandwich was nicely breaded and spiced alongside the toasted garlic aioli bun and fries. Great place and location for a group and family! read more

Came here after a hike at buttermilk falls state park (3 min away) and what an excellent choice! It's kid friendly - so my son had a burger and I had a nice beer flight. Nice ambience, good lighting, open layout and space and accommodating to kids with pleasant service made my trip memorable. Will definitely be back with my family again! read more

A classic stop in Ithaca! I've been here probably 5 or 6 times, but this was my first time during covid. The food here is always excellent, and there are lots of beer options. For covid, they have some indoor dining (plexiglass in between tables) and a LOT of outdoor seating. They have everything from covered outdoor seats, Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, etc. I went on a Saturday afternoon (60 degrees and sunny) at 3pm and we snagged one of the last open tables. They have an outdoor tent taking orders and give you a buzzer to know when to pick up your food. The line was already pretty long (we stood there for 15 min), and our food/drinks took about 20 minutes to come out. I normally get the taproom burger (comes with fries) - very juicy and tasty, and comes with fries. The blue cheese + BBQ burger is also delicious. This time I split the glasser pizza (beef, onions, jalapeno, BBQ) and the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with a friend. Pizza was good (a little oily on the bottom), but very cheesy and lots of complex flavors. The fried chicken sandwich was average and came with pickles and aioli on top. The portion was kind of small and was was more of a breaded-type and not the super crispy type. For drinks, I'm a huge fan of the apricot wheat. I'm not big on their flagship flower power - too IPA-y and bitter for me. I tried the frut sour ale this time - I liked it. It had a very tart cranberry taste and wasn't too sweet either. Would definitely come back again. The food prices seem to be going up unfortunately and portions seemed a little smaller this time. I hope this was an anomaly ! read more

Hands down one of the best stops while we were in Ithaca! I was totally impressed by the food, the drinks and the brewery itself. I can only imagine how awesome and beautiful it must be come spring/summer when you can enjoy the adirondak chairs and outdoor tables. We stopped in for a few drinks but ended up splitting one of the pizzas. They have a huge beer list but I've never loveeeeed beer so I tried one of their cocktails. In my experience, that is sometimes a silly thing to do at a brewery but the Ithaca Mule was fantastic! You can get a single or a double (love that you can control the amount of alcohol) and it was just the most wonderful take a Moscow Mule. Perfectly refreshing. Everyone else in my group was loving their beer or cider of choice as well. The four of us split the 3 cheese and garlic pizza at the recommendation of the bartender and man oh man was it good. They had these colorful panes between each table and over the bar as a covid precaution, and that is only a guess because they somehow worked so well with the space. I really would not be surprised if those were always a part of the room because they just looked like another funky part of the brewery. The walls are all decked out in awesome art that you'll for sure want to take home. It was a great place to unwind and hang out for a bit. If another trip to Ithaca is ever planned, a stop here will be a must. read more

Looking forward to returning to this little gem when the weather gets warmer. Situated south of Ithaca on a little bit of a hill they have an impressive outside beer garden area which looked very inviting but was a bit too chilly this visit. They had some nice specials for the teacher week including buy one get one free pizza and 25% off all other purchases. We enjoyed some flower power and will definitely be back read more

Went to visit on 10-19-24. Ordered beer and food for my wife and I. We were sitting in the tent because we had our dogs with us. I brought the beer to the table and our friends who where directly behind me we're not allowed to order stating the kitchen was at capacity and they could only order at the bar! What differwnxe dose that make where you are seated. I ended up cancelling our our dinner since we did not want to have only half our party with food. Felt.this was not handled well. Won't be back. read more

Fries were super bland, the wait for a table was over an hour despite several tables being open and the staff is very robotic (hostess was very nice!).

beware first of all about the road conditions upon entering this establishment! not sure who's responsible for the roads but you literally can't avoid the pot holes...they're EVERYWHERE! The waitress was new and not well trained. she was not aware of what beverages they offered, brought our appetizer out with the main meal and then simply stopped serving our table and had someone else do it. the food was terrible and overpriced. I ordered a chicken sandwich and was surprised to find out that it was dark meat with a thick line of cartilage running through it. definitely a disappointment. read more

Really nice setting and vibe with a large beer menu and dinner food. The outdoor tables and string lights are really nice in the warm weather. The vegan chorizo burger was good, and I'd love to see more vegan/plant-based options here in the future. read more

Great place, great people, great beer... Oh and the Buffalo chicken pizza with fig drizzle was awesome as well. In town for a week on biz and finding the (best) local breweries is high on my list. This one did not dissapoint in any way. Several IPA variants on-tap (which I usually favor...) but this big saison was a hit for me. Everyone tweaks the IPA these days (and that's fine by me) but none of them said uniquely my style like this farmhouse ale. I did have a few more of your beers on-tap in town and knowing what they were made me feel even more at home when I supported a local. read more

Beautiful environment and felt safe with the outdoor dining set up. Social distancing enforced with wearing masks walking around and when not eating/drinking. The tables and chairs set-up were nicely spaced out. There were lots of lush grass where some people brought blankets to sit on. Lots of green and blue skies. I'm not a big drinker but I tried the Raspberry Soirée Sour and it was so good! Not very sweet and didn't taste like alcohol, just the way I like it. It was light and refreshing after a long drive from Boston. My husband got the Flower Power which he really enjoyed. We got the Local Burger and Fries Flight which we're both delicious. Fries salted and crisped just right. The flight came with 3 sauces (homemade ketchup, ranch and spicy mayo?). My fav was the spicy mayo and ranch. The ketchup tasted like cocktail sauce and was alright. The burger was super tasty with the marrow infused patty, thick bacon, fig, boursin cheese, and fresh greens. So yum. Great atmosphere and love that they use "green" cups and recycle! read more

Loved this place so much! The patio was packed, so we went inside to sit and eat; had the place to ourselves! Our server was awesome, with great suggestions and friendly banter. With her floor-length braid and easy-going smile and attitude, I felt like she's work there a long time. Our burgers were perfectly seasoned and tasted delicious! It was the perfect ending to a wonderful afternoon visiting the city. read more

The space is amazing, and perfect in the summer for outdoor beer and snacks. Unfortunately, they're missing opportunities here. Every time we've been there have been long waits, unfriendly servers and so many rules. No dogs are allowed (huge outdoor space so this is a big bummer) and you can't order food from inside at most of the tables outside. When you do get table service, it is always slow and the food is subpar. Unless you really love their beers (or their root beer, it's delicious!), this is just an average spot, there are many other places you can find in Ithaca with better service, food and fun outdoor space. read more

I went on a Saturday afternoon with family and it was beautiful outside! They are not dog-friendly sadly, but we did get to sit at their outdoor seating. I got their spinach and mushroom pizza which I split with one other person. The decision to split was a wise one; the pizza (although not as big as a regular pizza) was definitely too big for one person and perfect for two. Other people got the Cornell Chicken Sandwich, which they all said they loved! That sandwich came with a side of fries and everybody seemed filled after eating the sandwich, so the fries were not finished. Overall, great atmosphere and filling food! read more

The vibes at Ithaca Beer Company are incredible! On a nice day their you can't beat the view from the patio. The beer flight was delicious and affordable for the amount of beer you get - and there are several options to choose from. The service was incredible as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender was really helpful and knowledgeable about that beers on tap. The food is good. I'm not sure the kale salad had any kale in it, just spring mix but it's nice that they have several different food options. Overall, this is a great place to come for a date, reunion with friends, or family fun afternoon. Will be back! read more

Really impressed by the beers here, we actually went back twice to see what the food was all about. They have a nice selection of beers including some fruitier beers, West coast IPAs and some ales. Got a small selection of single beers and the consensus on a favorite was the nut brown ale. It was creamy, chocolaty and not too bitter. Even though it was a warmer day i still quite enjoyed it that I went back later with dinner and bought a 6 pack along with the fruit beer pack. Food was pretty fantastic too, the burger we got had goat cheese and the meat was infused with bone marrow (YUM). The side was pretty neat as they made some vegetable potato chips with a dipping sauce of green onion and sour cream. I had all but lost hope for the NY beer scene that I seldomly order a beer these days. This place has given me hope again, hopefully they have some available in the city. read more
