Great meeting place for grad students during their happy hour specials on Friday afternoons. Hard to beat the $1 beers and free finger food. Also, a surprisingly good dance space for the monthly salsa night and semi occasional dance party.

You have to buy a $20 gift card to get a beer. Beers are only $1-2 so that means you either need to get incredibly drunk or you have to keep track of a card until the next time you frequent this poorly run establishment.

An amazing place for cheap beer with colleagues (usually Friday). During the school year, it also is a nice place to grab a sandwich or soup around lunchtime. The BRB also hosts a good variety of events (swing dance, trivia, and more) that are always fun.

EXTREMELY rude to my group and I as soon as we walked in the door. I do not frequent this place often, however I decided to go for a lunch break with some colleagues, and the cashier had an attitude with me about the order in which I paid for my food. She then came over to our table on her lunch break to yell at one of my colleagues to move her chair over. She wasn’t even on the clock anymore! THEN the manager came over and accused us of drinking alcohol and said that we loudly stated “We are drinking alcohol at the barn” so she was forced to intervene, which is just not a real thing someone would say normally. Why would anyone proclaim that to an entire restaurant? They literally sell beer here anyway so drinking alcohol isn’t even an issue! And just so we’re clear, we were not doing anything out of the ordinary to get this kind of treatment. We were trying to enjoy our lunch and got rudely interrupted not once but twice. They targeted us for no reason. They need to do some more training. Beyond unprofessional.

Located on the Cornell University campus, The big red Barn is a wonderful meeting place for graduate students and exhibits. The parking lot offers a stunning view of Cornell’s watchtower and landscape. Indoors is a cafe and plenty of room to stretch out with tables and chairs sofas and nooks here and there to settle in or visit friends. Housed in a renovated Barn the building has an old-time ambience that is accentuated with some new architecture that blends with the building seamlessly. The building is surrounded by lovely gardens.

It makes for a good study place during the day, as long as there aren’t any other events going on. Towards the evening, they start serving beer, and on Fridays it gets LOUD.

It is the best place for grad students at Cornell. Free coffee from 8 to 11 am, 1 dollar beer in the afternoon, and its quiet and warm. Just a great place for reading and writing in general, especially in the morning

The food is average but the building is great and has a fantastic atmosphere. Problem is that they sometimes hold events there without warning and kick you out very rudely. Has happened to me like 4 times and I’ve asked and they don’t have a public calendar for people to see so you just gotta get kicked out and accept it….. It’s really annoying.

Pretty good food at a reasonable price. Soup was good and sandwich was acceptable. Nothing too special but not bad either.

I only come for salsa so cannot comment on much else. By itself, it is a very nice building deity a lot of character. Multi level with loft walkway around the main dance floor. The biggest problem is that for salsa, it is too small as the dance floor use a very small portion of the actual barn. Plus, they always put the live band at the same floor, taking maybe 1/3 off. And they store tables and chairs on the same area, reducing the dancing area even more. And it’s always crowded as it is on Cornell campus. Mostly newcomers so the dancing is not spectacular.
