The Gable Inn

About

The Gable Inn is a neighborhood tavern in Cortland that has been around since 1968, which makes it a long-running fixture of the local bar scene. It also operates as a rooming house, an old-fashioned combination that gives the place a lived-in character.

The tavern has a sweet claim to fame as well: its birch beer float is billed as the best in the city. That is a fun detail for a bar, and it gives non-drinkers and nostalgic regulars a reason to stop in.
