Revelry Yards

 

Been to Revelry Yards a number of times and it’s always packed, the staff are friendly and the owner is happy to get feedback on his brews. Great vibe, good food and a nice place to spend an afternoon or evening.

Located on the edge of Ithaca Commons, there is outdoor seating along with booths and bar seating inside.

There are 12 beers on tap of which only three are made in-house. The remainder are beers from other area micro breweries. The ones I tried were better than most brew pub offerings.

I didn’t try the food but based on a discussion of upcoming reservations, I would surmise that it is better than average as well.

Service was very good. The bartender was flexible about seating, the amount of time we took making our selection, etc. she understood the beers and was willing to do whatever worked for each person in the bar.

 

An excellent new gastropub on North Aurora Street. I've had some good meals there, and much enjoy their "Layed Back" IPA, even if they spell it wrong. Early in its business still, their servers' beer knowledge is rudimentary. A couple bartenders I've met there didn't even know what a growler is. Hope this place lasts long enough for all to be brought up to Beersnob Speed!
