Tavern on The Commons is a new bar that opened Oct. 2. It is still in its opening phase, but with its team’s vast experience with bars and nightlife entertainment, they hope to bring a new bar experience to The Commons for the different demographics of downtown Ithaca. The bar took over the space on Seneca Street previously occupied by Kilpatrick’s Publick House.
The Range, a beloved bar located on the Ithaca Commons, closed its doors for good Aug. 3, 2024. The bar was first opened in 2016 by owners Andrew Schreck and Tommy Grozier. The Range was both a bar and a music venue that hosted a variety of themed nights, including “ThursGays” on Thursdays and Salsa nights on Wednesdays. On “ThursGays,” the Range would host a variety of weekly queer events with local drag performers. On salsa nights, anyone was able to come and learn to salsa dance and listen to Latin music. The Range also showcased local Ithaca bands and DJs weekly.
