Great little place. Good selection of cocktails as well as straight bourbons and scotches. Bartender was very knowledgeable on multitude of different beers and cocktails. They were able to change drink preferences on the fly to your liking. Bartender/owner was super nice even in a busy evening. Would

Watershed has the most amazing menu with and without alcohol. It’s the best third place there is to enjoy a great atmosphere, conversation, and fun drinks. Their menus are available on the website 24x7 so you can check it out and plan your order before you go.

A tucked-away gem in Ithaca! Fantastic service, curated cocktail menu, and plenty of non- alcoholic options for those who aren't drinking. Great atmosphere that feels deliberate and welcoming. We can't wait to come back!

Our favorite spot for drinks in the area! I appreciate the wide variety of sober cocktails and I've heard others say the alcoholic drinks are just as great. The atmosphere is always excellent, as is the service.

Went here before a concert at State Theater. It got pretty busy and there was only one bartender - he was pretty short and rude with the customers. Drink wise, prices were reasonable and had a variety - mixed drinks, beer, and non-alcoholic sodas and teas. Some small snack items available, prices seemed a little high for those. Someone near us bought a cheese plate but you had to buy crackers or bread separately, which seemed strange.

The atmosphere really does feel like a watershed! A hathering of studious, garrulous and discerning tastes. A book reading corner, unique and local beers, ciders and wines, and Tammy's famous pickles. Community permeates this place, and is evident in the ads and local events posted. Co-owner Ashley has a levelheaded vision that I appreciate, and is a genuinely sweet soul! Looking forward to their lower level culinary expansion!

This was a really cool place with a speakeasy vibe. Could've easily walked right past it if I didn't know what I was looking for. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Got a glass of wine and a baguette. Nice place to end the night.

Must check out spot for crafty drinks and good vibes. The owner and mixologist staff are really vibrant and pleasant.
