Fall Creek House Restaurant

Mislabeled as a restaurant, this is strictly a dive bar for locals

Now Ithaca Falls is my kind of waterfall. Not only can one drive a car right to the trailhead, walking to the falls is essentially a walk in the park. Plus, Fall Creek House awaits with cold beer and the Syracuse versus Florida State game on big screen television. I'm outdoorsy, but I like my sports bar. Sign, perfection based upon location and history. It looks as if this place has awaited my visit since the founding of Cornell University. However, nine taps and I'm served a foamy Ithaca Flower Power draught, down a full inch by the time the foam clears? The bartender has a magnetism all her own, so I refrain from asking her once the foam goes down, "My friend, would you top that beer up, would you now"?

This is a real Irish pub with a most welcoming group of locals. If you have a friendly attitude and want to meet Ithaca citizens then this is the place for a great pint.

Definitely not a restaurant, definitely a local dive. The bar food is basic stuff and only available during certain hours. The beer is local but sometimes warm. Maybe their keg cooler is on the fritz. Great location in walking distance from everywhere in the Fall Creek neighborhood and the beautiful Ithaca Falls right across the street.

Classic low key bar. Cheap drinks and great/nice workers and owner. The food is fantastic, I would recommend the roast beef plate!
