The Ithaca 5 & Dime is a downtown Ithaca bar on West State Street, its name a nod to the old-time variety stores and its spirit built for good times. It is a casual, come-one-come-all room in the city's lively West End, where cold drinks and a social crowd meet live music that keeps the night rolling. For Ithaca's bar scene beyond the Commons, the 5 & Dime is a spot worth knowing, and in a college town that never sleeps it holds its own late into the night.
