The Westy

Great beer selection and generally friendly people. There is often a food truck operating on the grounds, or you are free to bring in food from other establishments in the area. They offer free popcorn and a water station. They generally request a $10 minimum for credit card charges, and there is also an ATM on site. There is a good amount of seating available both indoors and out. However, for someone who is sensitive to cigarette smoke, you may have a hard time here. Folks routinely smoke right outside both doorways, and the smoke proliferates the indoor and outdoor areas of the establishment.

A casual hipster bar with tons of beers on tap (many local, some unusual), large outdoor seating area with a food truck sometimes there on select evenings. Free popcorn is the only solid food, otherwise, though there are good pizza, Vietnamese, and Chinese take out places within a block. I've brought in take out food before and it wasn't a problem, just be considerate and clean up after yourself. They have a dart board, and cornhole out back. The crowd is a mix of grad students and locals who you might expect to find at the Farmer's Market.

Great beers, and if you manage to make it on a night where the food cart is open, you're in luck! Fun place to bring a few friends and hang out. Especially great in the summer when you can sit outside comfortably at their picnic tables. Be prepared to see lots of locals too!

Bar is for locals mostly but not too local. They now take cards and have free popcorn! They sponsor several sports leagues, the best being Ithaca Kickball. Can be stuck standing if they are busy in the winter. During the summer you can make good use of the seating outside and back deck.

Lots of variety of beer on tap at good prices. Good happy hour and good music.
