    Beautiful little place with friendly bartenders and a lot of history. Check out the old photographs on the wall when the Cortland was originally a hotel back in the day.

    Check-in to get a free shot! They have free WiFi, too! Don't know what to drink & willing to try something new? Try the $4 Mystery Beer - It's a random bottle of a unique beer in a brown paper bag!

    Blueberry muffin shots are tasty everyday. Bartenders are awesome here and they actually take care of you if you take care of them.

    Check out the Drunken Spelling Bee Tuesday Nights and you need to try one of the alcoholic milkshakes, theyre amazing, but slightly expensive

    The vodka infusions are amazing! Pumpkin spiced vodka and apple cider is the best drink I've ever had!
