The Chanty is a staple and landmark for historical downtown Ithaca.
Every visit here is chill and cheap.

The sign is your signal to stop in and hang in an intimate place offering: darts, pool, and good ol juke player.

Feels more local folk than college kids. A plus for us OG ithaca workers.
It’s been almost ~20 years since I started going . It was always the place to go after work drink and an ‘5 o’clock somewhere’ place on a day off.

The Chanty is an easygoing classic place to just have a drink with your friends.

From what I gather this place used to be the go-to dive in Ithaca. Right now it occupies a very awkward middle spot where it’s too divey for college kids and too modernized for the old guard. Dim the lights a little bit!

Ithaca’s official dive bar. (yes there are other ‘dives’ in town, but the Chanti (as it’s called locally) is special.

Almost its own caricature of a dive bar. It’s actually a pretty well kept place and a very big step above the true dive. Pretty large liquor selection and several taps. The crowds can range in every direction. A couple locals will be at the quiet bar earlier and college kids tend to fill it in after 11. Really is a must-stop-tour-stop to get a taste of Ithaca.

Yes, the same Chanticleer in the song by X-Ambassadors, yes that place with the giant glowing rooster outside, yes to that weird Walking Dead pinball machine, yes to the downloadable jukebox playing some odd songs, yes to that blood red billiards table and yes to some of the cheapest drinks in Ithaca. Just no food and if you’ve been there enough, you would be good with that.

New bartenders now, and the guy working treated me like a college kid- I’m a grown 30 year old man who owns Chanticleer merch and contributed to the rooster restoration. Absolute shame, this place will never be the same, and shame on the new owners who are pushing out locals to cater to college kids in a town with nearly no local spots left. This bar used to be representative of the town- a shame to see it follow the path of Lot 10 and others now clearly chasing “the money”….

As a long-time customer, a large part of what made the atmosphere at Chanti was the bartenders. This place was like Cheers for many of us, where everybody knows your name.

Now all of those friendly faces, some of whom I had seen behind the bar or working the door for 15+ years, are gone. Their dedication was rewarded by being fired with no notice. And for what? To become a third Moonies location. And their reopening advertising talking about it being “the same bar you know and love” is sickening when what we knew and loved included the bar staff with familiar faces. Trying to build off a 70 year reputation that those employees really helped build when you’ve changed the place fundamentally is certainly a choice. The Chanti isn’t the Chanti anymore. Times change and reformats happen, but there would be a lot less backlash if they had treated the long-time employees with respect in the process. Like, at least give them a few weeks notice so they can line up other work, that’s just basic courtesy for people who have been part of the fabric of the place for so long.

Oh, and hire an actual graphic designer or at least someone who can spell for your social media instead the AI garbage you’re putting out now. I certainly will “leve” the new place, I’m not feeling the “cloan vibes” the AI is giving off.

Can’t block us here like they’re doing to anyone who has even mild criticism on facebook.

There was no food except for chips to buy. So I don’t know why it’s asking me to review food. The bar is great. Feels like a hometown bar. The bartender and staff make you feel at home. A bartender even streams the bar on twitch under PorkMarshmallow so we chatted with people watching while we were there.

Fun dive bar in Ithaca. Beer, liquor, and possibly wine available. Interesting mix of people hanging out.
