I stopped by last night and was expecting a quit night however the place was near capacity with live music, a birthday party and televised Cornell hockey game and Olympic coverage. Drinks were great and the bartenders weee cute and on top of their game. A buzz of wonderful conversation and a top notch grilled chicken sandwich. Recommend.

And claims since I didn't actually get to eat there, I shouldn't be able to voice my experience. Beware that if you do not have an amazing experience and leave an honest review, she will probably harass you too and expect you to retract your review because she apologizes, yet is defensive and argumentative in the same breath.**** Planned to have dinner here with my Uncles and Aunts while in town. They raved about how wonderful eating out on the deck was. Inside was all wood, like the hall of a ship and rather dark in my opinion. I know it's unfortunate but we walked up to the hostess stand and the girl informed us that the fryer and the grill top were not working. We asked what were our options and she handed us a waitress slip with *maybe* 10 items on it including soup, salad and kid pizza. BUT what irked me more than their equipment being in disrepair was the hostess's attitude. My Uncle thanked her for letting us know and she had some reply like, "Yeah, why wouldn't I tell you?" Very strange. Not a simple "You're welcome." Or "Sorry for the inconvenience." I know it's not like the restaurant WANTED their equipment to fail but I think they should train their hostess on better customer service. I do have to say that the woman working in the gift shop was LOVELY. She suggested another restaurant for us to go to (The Franklin House) and even NOT recommending another suggestion (savings us from another potential restaurant fail.) So perhaps this place *could be* good but I will never know.

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.
