Hands down the best whiskey and scotch selection in Ithaca. The perfect place to try a dram of something new. Will behind the bar is very knowledgeable and engaging, and the friendly regulars make for good conversation. Special vibes all around. Cheers

First time in Ithaca and wanted to try this bar for a few drinks with our group. The moment we walked in, despite there being plenty of room, we were told they couldn’t service us due to us having a larger group and no reservation. No note of this on their website and there was plenty of space at the time of us arriving. Extremely disappointed. Seems like the bartender just didn’t want to bother servicing us. Would not advise for a larger group.

Nowhere Special Libations Parlor was a dark, moody, intimate bar experience that I hope to have again soon. Service throughout was exceptional, and the bartender helped us navigate the large whiskey and cocktail selection available. Highly recommend a visit!

Almost walked past this place. Tucked away in an assuming place, you’ll find in this bar the loveliest bartenders, retro decor and drinks that make you go whoa. We had a lovely time talking about the drinks with one of the bartenders whose name we forgot later. Ask for recommendations for your preferences. We had two sweet cocktails. One with pineapple and coconut milk. That was the sweetest cocktails we’ve ever tried.

James Dean, the owner not the actor, has another great place to add to the many he has partnered to open. He created a place for those of us who appreciate great cocktails, craft beers, and good conversation.
A group of my friends and I have been fans of James’ work for years, and so we are excited that he opened this new place near the west side of the commons. (Also nearby and delicious are Lucky Hare and Watershed.)
I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do.

I came across this place while taking a stroll around The Commons. It’s a cool little dive bar across from The State Theater with a killer selection of bourbon and whiskey, with just about anything you could be looking for. They also have a great selection of delicious cocktails. If you’re in the neighborhood I highly recommend stopping in for a drink or two!

Would be an excellent bar if the owner stayed home. Great atmosphere, great drink selection, ruined by the owner loudly complaining about everything and absolutely ruining the experience of coming here. Dude! If you hate service, just stay home and pay someone else to bartend! It’s not
like you were actually helping!
I don’t leave reviews much, but damn, I had a date night ruined by the owner complaining to people about how much money he spent on the place and all sorts of stuff for a solid hour. You have a great bar, dude! Don’t ruin it with your own negativity
