Hey Y’all. The Rook is closed this Tuesday & Wednesday due to technical difficulties. Parts are ordered and will be installed ASAP. Hopefully everything goes smoothly, but we’ll keep you posted about exactly when we reopen. Thanks for your patience (maybe you’ll see us out in the wild).

Tonight (Saturday) the Rook turns 9 years old. In restaurant years that’s solidly middle aged. We’re probably gonna take up some new hobbies like collecting rare stamps or bird watching. Come see us tonight for some bubbles and duck fat fries. We can trade stories about the good old days and how not-to stowaway on a cruise ship.

Ithaca, winter is here.
It’s cold.
It’s gray.
It’s the kind of dark that if you want to see the sun at the end of the day, you’re going to have to chase it.

In an effort to encourage citizens to capitalize on the 24 minutes of golden hour (and fire selection of w**es) available we bring you Happy Hour.

We’re downright giddy about making the w**e experience more accessible from 4-5pm with $8 w**es by the glass. Come chase the sun with us to a great vintage - or brew (b**r drinkers, we didn't forget about you, $5 drafts available too)

We dare you Ithaca, leave the office by 4:30.
