Drinks & Nightlife
Very classy with interesting drink menu! We love the setting on the ground floor of the Argos Inn. Here is how they describe themselves.: Bar Argos
There is no other establishment quite like Bar Argos. The craftsmanship of the custom zinc-top bar, the two hundred year old handmade bricks, the warm beeswax finish on the pigmented plaster wall, and all that before you even see the menu!
Bar Argos’ offerings are as inviting as the building itself. Our bartenders will guide you through our unique menu featuring both carefully curated classic cocktails and house-made inventions. Or, just share what you might be in the mood for!

Parks & Nature
Stewart Park

Yes, hiking trails, but much more! The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. The lab is a wonderful place to explore the science of ornithology. We highly recommend a visit there. Great for adults and children. Before going on the trails, ask to borrow a pair of binoculars.
