This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

the year 1978 ~ walked into Petes one Friday afternoon and never walked out. Sat down and got 3…read morerocks for a buck. I was a sophomore at Ithaca College. I continued to go to Petes for the next 6 years. I had graduated from I.C. and stayed in Ithaca and had a Job at I.C. ~ Back then it was a locals bar only ~ no students went there but me and a couple of friends. Lisa and Pat ( the owners) were so NICE. Ithaca college students were going to the Dugout, The Pines, McCawbers, Simeons, and the Haunt back then. After I graduated from I.C. I really became a regular , after work each day, at Petes. I don't even know if the term "Dive bar" existed. ? I was an avid pool player and we started a pool team in a new league in the Tompkins County area. Petes Pool team played every Tuesday ? night home and away. It was so much fun and we did well as a team. Times did change in the mid 1980's as a few more students from I.C. started visiting Petes. Not a lot but a few. The best time was on Friday afternoons from around 3 pm to 9 pm when happy hour was celebrated. I think that is my fondest memory. I met and made a lot of new friends at Petes and I became more of a local and not an "out of towner from Cape Cod". Even a lot of my past political science professors had their stools at the bar. I really miss those days and think that was when I was happiest in my life. ! I have been back to Ithaca a few times since I left in the mid 80's and my first stop is always Petes ! Yes it has changed just a bit, but it brings back such fond memories. Talk about Nostalgia. What a great time it was . David H.

At first glance, it's a very unassuming place, but the smell of smoked meats draws you in as you get closer to the door. Fantastic family run place with friendly service all done in house. We got the brisket dinner all around and we weren't disappointed. If you feel the need for sauce, the sweet and smokey sauce is delicious but the meat stands on it's own. So glad we came across this little place.

I spent about $9 for three mixed drinks the night I was here. I was also pleasantly surprised with the pretty clean bathrooms which is rare for a dive bar. My buddy used to frequent this place a lot when he lived in Utica. I came here for his wedding. He told me to get a 'Purple Water'. This is a cocktail that from what I can decipher has some alcoholic type grape kool-aid with water added. It was quite delicious, light and refreshing. Definitely didn't weigh you down like a beer or whiskey can sometimes. For sure a must try. I'd definitely hit this place up again if I ever ended up in Utica a second time. Doubtful I would, but just saying.
