34 Best Bar & Grill near Rochester

“Right off of the paint creek trail, this gem has the most amazing burgers I have had the privilege of tasting in quite some time. The logistics of the building is kind of tricky and their parking is not the greatest if you come by car. I would advise that you park down the street and take a short walk for better parking.“

“It was my first time here with some friends and it was so fun! I had such a fun time! The food was great and the drinks were amazing! I met Felicia who was the manager and she was so nice! She recommended a non-alcoholic drink because I don't drink but I like to do fun nights with friends! Lol The atmosphere is fun and I really liked it. I will definitely be back.“

“The waitress was awesome, food excellent & drinks were perfect for a night out with longtime friends. We had a great seat in the restaurant, it was easy to hold a conversation to catch-up. There was a Lions Football watch party& the place did fill up, which was fun for a Thursday evening in downtown Rochester. Highly recommended as the staff walk so friendly & service was great!“

“A special day. A special night. Couldn't be better. Arranged by our son and daughter. The waiter did everything, except eat our food. The wines were a delight and the steak and salmon were prepared with artistry. He guided us with each entre and the salad was shared by us with dressing aside. Wine, was by the glass and was both red and white and light, semidry and elegant. Our perfect dinner ended the perfect evening. Thank you 220 Merrill for a wonderful 50th.“

“Best bar / american food in Oxford, and a staple in the community. Absolutely everything is delicious. Large portion sizes on meals, reasonable pricing, good service and atmosphere, and big portions. The customers are usually friendly and fun too. The tap list has plenty of options, including seasonal craft beers. What else could you want from a bar?“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“I’ll have to say one of the best bar burgers. Wings are very good too.“

“Amazing food…Excellent service…Great vibes!“

“Best Chili anywhere, in season. I líke the cozy size of this place and there are enough nice people in winter to keep each other warm. I miss the place much.“

“We love O’Grizzly’s. When Hoops closed, we needed to find a new favorite spot. We found it! Cold drinks, great service and delicious food. It’s our go to spot.“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“Awesome food and drinks for over 15+ years. Come on in!!“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“This place has some good menu options and the cooks are willing to customize orders. The gulf port sandwich with cajun mayo is fantastic. So are the salads, good healthy, delicious, and filling bang for buck with those.

Chicken wings and Chicken quesadea are also fantastic here. And although on the more expensive side, the jamablaya is the genuine article and is hard to top.

The tables are cleaned regularly and the waittresses are both pretty and attentive.“

“Love the new sand courts and bar.“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“I had my baby shower there yesterday and we had the best experience! Everything was perfect. The servers were on top of it the entire time and did an amazing job. The food was delicious and everyone was raving about it. I highly recommend this place and cannot say enough good things about it. We could not have asked for a better experience. ❤️“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Such a great place! We both had the salmon, Probably the best prepared salmon I have ever had and cooked perfectly. They had a very good selection of wines at good prices. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is cozy and relaxed, never really super busy and yet consistently good food and friendly staff“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Just went to this great place ! The food is delicious! Just what we needed around here! Chadd is terrific! Best chef! The bartender Jessica is also awesome…. Our drinks were amazing. Everyone needs to stop in!“

“We’ve always had good food and service any time we’ve been here. It’s exactly what you’d expect. But today there was a server(not even ours) who went out of her way to make my young sons(2&4) feel special. With a random act of kindness. When I told my son that I didn’t have any cash for the duck claw machine, she overheard and had pulled a pair of singles out of her book for my sons to “win” a duck. I didn’t accept it, because we have too many toys as is, and my wife generally keeps a little cash(which my son begged from her). I didn’t her name, but I hope her manager sees this. She is a lovely young woman 5ft(ish) with medium brown hair in 2 long braids.“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food!! Nothing I don’t love ❤️“

“We had a great time in our private igloo. It was an experience for our Super Seniors (parents). Good food, AMAZING SERVICE (Thanks Mary🥰), memories created.“

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access with wide aisles.“
