Bike Bar Ithaca

Bike Bar is a bicycle-themed taproom in downtown Ithaca pouring a dozen rotating craft beers alongside cocktails, wine and cider, with charcuterie and cheese plates to snack on. Bicycle frames and wheels double as decor throughout the room, giving the bar a distinct, hobbyist identity among Ithaca's downtown drinking spots.

Old-Time Jam

Every Tuesday evening, fiddler Joe Hayward and friends lead an old-time music jam, drawing acoustic string players from around Tompkins County for a night of traditional fiddle tunes. It's an informal, pull-up-a-chair session rather than a stage show, and newcomers with a fiddle, banjo or guitar are welcome to sit in.

Other Events

Bike Bar also books scheduled live sets spanning jazz, reggae and folk throughout the month, in addition to its weeknight happy hour.

Good to Know

Bike Bar is located at 314 E State St, Ithaca, NY 14850, in the heart of downtown. The old-time jam is casual and typically wraps up by around 8:00 PM.
