The Study Hall

This is not the Study Hall you knew and loathed, but instead, the Study Hall you will learn to love because where chewing gum, using your cell phone, and eating and drinking were once prohibited is now not only acceptable, it’s encouraged!

This bar and grill’s friendly staff invite you to experience what many patrons call ‘Cortland’s best kept secret’. Located at 83 Groton Avenue in Cortland, this diamond in the rough resides directly at the foot of the hill of the SUNY Cortland campus.

Their university themed hangout pulls together elements of the collegiate lifestyle with a home-like small pub atmosphere only found in rustic Finger Lake communities.

However, describing The Study Hall’s ambiance is no simple task; not quite a sports bar or a gastropub, although you can enjoy a great meal and watch the game, this establishment is what you make of it.

The Study Hall’s kitchen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from 4pm to 1:30am every day; whether it’s an order of French fries or onion rings to split with friends before a night on the town, French toast and scrambled eggs at midnight, or a plate of our acclaimed chicken wings, their menu, modeled after a composition notebook, will satisfy the appetite of anyone looking for a quality meal at an affordable price.

Live music every Tuesday and occasional special performances from local musicians give this place a rocking vibe. Their engaging servers, TVs, and jukebox with surround sound as well as dartboards, billiards and foosball table provide exceptional entertainment for a night of recreation and leisure.

Whether you’re a young adult or non-traditional student attending college or a local resident, there is something for all, so the next time you’re thinking about going out for a unique experience stop by The Study Hall, you just might learn something.
