I have never dealt with anything like that before it was just a complete mess in there.. with that being said the service was great. Our server was absolutely on top of all of that mess and dealt with it I think really good!! We got our food in a timely manner! And it was actually really good food the fish was amazing and was cooked perfectly! I think the fries definitely need a lot of work, cmon French fries! Especially in upstate where the fish fries are good! You need good fries The inside ambience was kind of usual upstate new work wood work cute interior it was cute inside! What made my review stars go up is the bartender Claire that worked upstairs, she was so on top everything regardless of how busy it was, she literally had it down to a T she was quick and personable and just got the job done right by far the best employee I came across there she rocked and got the job done right! Amazing bartender! I think I would have left 1 star if I wasn't for Claire and her service she absolutely rocked

Without hesitation, she said we should go to the Time Warp Tavern. She told us we had to get the black Betty wings - her favorite. It is a corner bar with character and characters.

You could tell they had never been frozen and they were cooked perfectly. The black Betty dry rub seasoning was outstanding. Her other wing flavor suggestions were also very good. The fries tasted just like the cut & cooked to order fries you get at a really good state fair. The house made chips with Cajun sprinkled on them was awesome. Highly recommend going!!!!

I'd absolutely come back for the wings alone.

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.

Full disclosure: went to HS with the owner and he's a great guy. My review however is strictly…read morebased on my experience going there. I've gone twice-once a few years ago and most recently, within last 4 weeks. When it's not busy (i.e. college kids aren't yet back in town or it;s before 12am), you can really appreciate the beauty of the bar (lots of warm tones) and its cozy atmosphere. Two fireplaces keep the place toasty in winter. Chris (owner) has great taste in both top shelf liquor and beers-lots of microbrews and the prices are ridiculously reasonable (another perk from leaving DC). The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is of course the bathrooms. They're big but one person only and like most bars in a college town, "rough." But who cares? The rest of the bar (the important parts) are awesome!

Never heard of it. We didn't go that day but we do plan on it. They have a fall drink menu. I tried an apple mojito for the first time and it was delicious. We ordered a beef brisket sandwich and their Hell Fired Pizza. The brisket was dry. I asked for a side of BBQ sauce and it helped, plus I did really like the sauce. The bun was toasted perfect. The pizza was good, didn't care for the sauce, it needed more flavor but the toppings were great and a lot of it. I also liked the crust. Definitely will be going back.
