Ithaca's downtown brewery. In addition to their great variety of beer, Liquid State offers kombucha on tap, local wine, ciders and root beer. We love the vintage Pacman arcade game here! And although they don't serve more than snack foods (which is creative and yummy), you are allowed to bring food in. We often order take out from some restaurants on State street and set on the patio at Liquid State to enjoy dinner and a drink!

Everything Else

The Commons has it all... food, shopping, a playground in the middle, great local businesses, and the center of this city. Come see why Ithaca is called the "Little Apple" here in New York State.

So, it's not exactly an art gallery--but it's a great local pot-shop where community happens everyday. Great local business, and a terrific place for new or seasoned potters to hone their craft. You might get lucky and check out a "try it workshop" if offered.
