Ithaca's downtown brewery. In addition to their great variety of beer, Liquid State offers kombucha on tap, local wine, ciders and root beer.
We love the vintage Pacman arcade game here! And although they don't serve more than snack foods (which is creative and yummy), you are allowed to bring food in. We often order take out from some restaurants on State street and set on the patio at Liquid State to enjoy dinner and a drink!
