Bike Bar

Great selection of beers, and totally rad bartenders (hiya Chris!). They are knowledgeable and will help you select the correct beverage for consumption for you. Earlier in the evening provides you will some calm ambiance, but the live music a bit later is nice on not-so-crowded nights. It does get crazy at the predictable times.

Had a great time here. Had two mules the drinks were very good. We got a chance to speak to the owners and they were very informative and what goes on in the area and definitely enjoy owning the business. Definitely give them a try if you were in the area. They have a very nice selection of different cocktails

Chris and the crew are all super friendly and accommodating! Drinks are great blood orange & vodka is a go to. Live music is fun to listen to, and the ambiance is great, very cool vibes and people! Nothing not great here, very diverse crowd I truly believe anyone can have fun here if they want to have a great night!

Awesome place to grab a drink or two by restaurant row! Super cozy, awesome tap/wine/liquor selection, and a super friendly staff! Great for a group or if you just want to wrap up work alone with a pint or two!

I’ve always been intimated to go into this place. A bar based on bikes? But I like cocktails will I really like a bar with bikes? Um yes. Yes she did. Highly sought after beers on tap (per my husband) and a larger than expected cocktail menu. Pair that with live music at the absolute best volume. The kinda volume where you can still hear the date you’re on even if you don’t want to. I feel bad I’ve neglected this place for so long. Ten thumbs up. Thanks guys.

The best places are the one you stumble upon at random. The Bike Bar was exactly that, after walking around the campus for a few hours my wife and I stumbled upon this bar and absolutely loved it. The staff was super friendly and accommodating with their knowledge on craft beer selection. We also enjoyed the jazz band that had played there that night. Very clean, very friendly, and a very fun place to hang out! We definitely will be going back again!

Best bar in town! Perfect for a drink, plenty of room to socialize, and great live music. Lots of social groups meet up here too, so it never feels stale.

The best bar in Ithaca hands down!!! Fantastic selection, great spot and bartenders are super friendly. A little pricier than your average bar but the price is worth the product you’re getting.

A fantastic crew of friendly bartenders who are excellent at their craft. They always have a variety of tasty beers and cider on tap (note “variety” not just 10 IPAs that all taste the same) and a good selection of liquors and cocktails that are mixed with precision. I never go to Ithaca without stopping at The Bike Bar

Good cocktails and a pleasant atmosphere! Worth going when there's live music. A nice place to end a long day.

Happened upon this bar because I was looking for dark beer on tap and they were the only place that had some, and it was great! The bartender was knowledgeable and very friendly

Great spot to go for cocktails while waiting for dinner. Cool vibes and interesting (good), high end cocktails. All fresh ingredients. Watched the bartender squeeze lemons for my drink and twist the rinds for garnish. Highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting again when we are back in Ithaca.

Cool vibe with a nice selection of beers and cocktails. Our bartender was great and offered to let us try beers before ordering. The atmosphere was nice and chill, not too loud where I couldn't hear my friends. We chilled out on the comfy couches in their newly expanded area. While I don't live in Ithaca anymore, I could see myself coming back again and again if I did! If you were a fan of Felicia's Atomic Lounge (RIP), you'll likely enjoy Bike Bar!

Bike bar is a great addition to downtown and nice to see the expansion. The menu is simple and more geared towards cocktails than lots of beer options. The service was inconsistent. One bartender was friendly and nice and another was curt. They have 2 snack options but we did not get any.

the vibes and drinks are good, but i felt uncomfortable here bc i was treated in a way that made me wonder if the bartender was being homophobic. i waited a long time to order, and it was a crowded friday night so i totally understand and was happy to wait. minutes passed and I watched all the people to the right and left of me getting addressed by the bartender, she kept passing over me…then, when she finally approached me, she took the menu i was holding out of my hand without saying a word, and gave it to another patron who had *just* walked up to the bar….??? when i said, “hey id like to order”, she said “ok?” and moved on to help someone else. this was a confusing and uncomfortable interaction. I never ordered a second drink and me and my friends headed to another location.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at bike bar. The staff displayed clear racial bias and treated me with unnecessary rudeness and disrespect. I was ignored, spoken to with attitude, and made to feel completely unwelcome. No one should be subjected to such behavior, especially in a public space meant for hospitality. I hope the management takes this seriously and addresses the lack of professionalism and inclusivity.

Bad service, some bartender unprofessional and rude. Ignore people and talk with attitude. This is not the first time people make this type of comment. Drinks are ok but there are much more better places you should go instead of being treated rude there.
