Bars and nightlife other than frats

I just bumped the thread Gomestar referenced. It’s pretty incomplete and excludes a fair number of places to drink in Collegetown. I can think of Level B, CTB, ABC Cafe, Olivia’s, and Plum Tree off the top of my head. Some of the best nights I ever had at Cornell were Sake boming at the Plum Tree.

Best place to drink on Cornell’s campus? The bowling alley of Helen Newman. Pitchers of Labatts for less than $5. There’s also the Statler and The Big Red Barn.

There really should be a definitive guide to Ithaca bars somewhere on the Interweb. There are a half a dozen or so bars down by the Commons that are worth going down to as well. I already mentioned Korova, but Chanticleer and Benchwarmers are fantastic. And there is Simeon’s, Just a Taste (wine/tapas bar), and the place next to Mahogany Grill that I can’t seem place.

And yeah, the closest thing you will come to a “club” is probably Level B or downstairs Stellas. But even then, it’s not the big city environment that Elgguj quests after because she will have the rest of her life to live in cities. (I kid, I kid.)

By the way Elgguj – do you juggle?
