The Watershed - City of Ithaca

A lovely bar featuring books for reading. What sets this place apart are the handwritten notes on the brick walls. You can spend hours relaxing and reading these random messages left by strangers. The restroom even provides some nice amenities! The only downside is the extra bartender commission added to the gratuity.

The owners and staff are fantastic; they really know their stuff. There’s a great selection of drinks and light snacks. The atmosphere is wonderful—relaxed yet sophisticated. It's the perfect spot to catch up with a friend, sip tea while working on your laptop, or even enjoy a first Tinder date. The Downstairs area has additional seating and hosts entertainment more frequently.

A delightful canned cocktail spot with a fantastic taproom on the lower level, perfect for my favorite evening relaxation. It's also a wonderful place to enjoy an early evening and a pot of tea. Goodbye!

The atmosphere really feels like a water shed! A hat by Studious, tasteful and sophisticated. A book reading corner, unique and local beers, apple wines and Tammy's famous pimples. The community penetrates this place and is announced in the advertisements and local events. The co-owner Ashley has a vision I appreciate, and is a really sweet soul! Look forward to their lower culinary expansion!

Quiet and a decent bar, gives you more space to talk to your friends. Definitely recommended if you like a calm vibe with a bar.
