Night Owls

About

Night Owls is a bar in Cortland best known as the home of Dio Day, a festival celebrating rock legend Ronnie James Dio, who grew up in Cortland. It’s also a Cortland County staple for live music, with plenty of games to keep a night moving.

Inside there’s a jukebox, a bowling machine, a dart machine and pool tables, so there is always something to do between sets. Between the music, the games and the Dio tribute, it has the feel of a classic neighborhood bar where regulars and newcomers mix easily.
