The Haunt

The venue was very quaint. Lots of parking, great sound from the bands.. if they gave another big event I'll definitely go!

Great place for live music!! Intimate yet large enough to hold > 400 ppl. Would have given 5 stars except venue has no place to sit indoors. Outside is great deck over water to sit/chill for a spell.

Super fun music venue for local acts and bands looking to break big. The sound is best closest to the stage, as the speakers that play to the back of the room blew out a long time ago. The outdoor seating and standing area is right next to a creek and perfect for a spring, summer, of fall evening. Inside is standing room only, which I prefer for live music. Full bar with reasonable prices, and you can order chicken fingers and fries after you've had a few.

4/13/2019 Saw the Australian band The Church on their Starfish Anniversary tour at the Ithaca venue The Haunt and they were in one word sublime. Took the stage shortly after 8 PM and played the Starfish album in its entirety and after a 20 minute or so intermission played a mixed set that showcased the strengths of the band. You just can't get value like this for $25 USD anymore. If they come back again, I'm there!

Solid venue! We tried pretty much everything on the menu (which is fairly limited) and it was all good bar fare. I recommend the French fries, because you can never go wrong with those! The staff were all super polite and helpful. The atmosphere is good - it's on the water, so it's got a nice back deck in warmer weather. And the show we saw was excellent, which always helps... definitely recommend!
