Not sure how long it has been here but the set up seems as if it can only be a few years. This was not here when I attended school. Anyway the taps were running a lager, pale ale and some fruited beers. The lager was very good - clean, fresh and uplifting. We did not try the ipa. We saw these beers in various establishments during our three days in town. It was worth the stop. A thunderstorm broke out while we were visiting so we had another. The beer Misters/Ms's were very nice and we could have stayed much longer but had to move on. Overall a very nice addition to my old college town. It is always great to have a locally brewed beer instead of having to pay higher prices for imports - by that I mean from Ithaca, Canada and Boston. We say, ambiance "b", beverages "a", service "a", value "a". Mark & Nancy.

I believe this is my favorite bar in all of the city of Ithaca. I feel like the more times I visit…read morethe more love I have for this place. This bar is unassuming from the exterior (front side). It fits right in with other brick turn of the century historic buildings within the fabric of the city. If you blink you might miss it. The entrance is a well lit trek down a back alley. Inside the place seems just the right size. It's comfortable. the elements and woodwork are charming. There are plenty of tables and the acoustics are just right so it's not too loud even with a full house. There is a pool table and more than one "real" dart board. Not one of those weak electronic ones. There are stacks of board games that you often see people on a back table playing. The decorations are great including old memorabilia from nostalgic Ithaca bars including the stained glass from Mcawbers and the original carved wooden tables from the old chapter house. Those bars had great history which has now been incorporated into something new which I really appreciate. The outdoor space in back has an overlooking covered porch covered with vines. The back yard is surprisingly large with picnic style tables that can easily fit a group of ten each no problem. When I was there recently there were at least 50 people accommodated in the rear yard space. There are gardens that are fairly well maintained and murals painted on the walls. Extra special is that the surrounding buildings and space look good too. Nowhere you look fo you see a big eyesore. (Like a parking lot or bright street lights) The drinks are good and the variety of people frequenting are fabulous to converse with. I would love to see people dancing and some live music out back on the weekends. These are really good musicians just sitting around reading books for gods sake. I would suggest starting with an open mike night. Live music here would bring it over the top. Super fun !!! I'll for sure be back on my next Ithaca adventure. Hope to meet you all there soon.

The menu itself is short and focused, while the interior of the restaurant features wallpaper with anthropomorphic animals, and large windows. I opted for the Burger, and my wife the Salmon. We also ordered the grilled dates and collard greens. I also decided on a Ginger Beer. They serve Goslings (since 1806), with all 47 grams of sugar, over ice and a lime. Highly recommended on the ginger beer flavor scale. The Burger came with a massive amount of their duck-fat fried fries, certainly more potato than burger. I also liked the burger with the added bacon. But my wife's Salmon was even tastier. It featured a nice hunk of fish, skin-on, crispy, and not some half-or-quarter fillet that other places might serve. Plus, it comes over a bed of green peas and canneli beans and green asparagus sauce on the bottom, and a small bed of frisée on top. The combination with the lemon cream leads to very satisfying bites. The grilled dates wrapped in bacon, with goat cheese, Marcona almonds, and honey were presented as a drumstick. The collard greens were nice, though on the saltier side. Seating here can be had inside or out. The bathrooms are located in the hallway next to the restaurant.

I was also super interested in their salted potatoes which I never had before. The potatoes were good, but the butter by the end made it a bit heavy, albeit delicious. Service: the young lady helping us was so nice and gave us some recommendations which ended up with the potatoes. Aesthetic: really cool design with the tables and almost feels like a camp cantina. I really liked that they served the potatoes in a plant pot, it made it feel very farm-like.

It was a beautiful day and when we arrived we could see they had a large vendor market in their field. The building is very nice with a souvenir shop and lots of seating. You order drinks and food up front....you get your drink right away but they deliver the food to your table. We had already eaten so we ordered drinks. My friend got a flight of IPA's and I got a Cider-mosa! Hard cider and orange juice...it was perfect so light and refreshing. We sat for awhile listening to the live band and we met some very nice people who shared their table with us ( it was super busy). We sat for awhile and then spent quite a bit of time shopping at the market.....clothes, soap, coffee, and all kinds of crafts! They even had a vendor selling beautiful fresh flowers.

I loved the varying options and timely service there. I think the two things to note would be that this felt like a winery you could just go hang with friends at and enjoy good conversation. While we did that, I was really looking forward to wine education from our server/ somm and a good conversation around the wines and history. Instead, our server was visibly worried and irritated by the prospect of the trolley guests. It was just a lackluster experience from a service perspective. At least on the winery side. I also wish I knew we should grab food first then bring to the winery side, but we ended up spending some extra time on property due to not realizing the deli/ winery set up. I'd give it another shot but would honestly plan this as a more relaxing/ chill spot to stop at for some decent wine and tasty food.
