32 Best Bar & Grill near Rochester

“Such a wonderful place, great vibe, delicious food and sitting outside is the ultimate experience, overlooking the river! Absolutely loved it so much, I went two days in a row! The hamburger and fries I had yesterday were so tasty! Today, I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and fries! Sauce on the side. Brit was my server and she was phenomenal. I will definitely be going again.

Parking lot is small, so just go around the corner and park in the free parking lot and find your way through the parking lot to Main Street or go through the trail system. Afterwards, take a beautiful walk along Riverwalk.“

“Unexpected excellence! Came in at 4pm on Friday, our efficient and friendly waiter Andy was taking care of at least 10 other tables-but made each customer feel well taken care of. The clam chowder soup was excellent, like from a fine seafood restaurant! The Cobb salad was presented beautifully, and I took about half of it home! We live 1 hour away-but will make plans to return!“

“Corner bar is an excellent place for the summertime! The music is great, vibes are good and drinks are delicious. I had the watermelon salad paired with a Hugo spritz, both classic choices. They have a summer capri pop up right now which is so cute for the girlies to hang out and take pics! Service is phenomenal, Angie always takes care of me so well. Plus the owner is extremely friendly, greeting every table. It really shows what a great atmosphere they’ve created! Definitely will be back !!“

“Our table was just to the left of the entrance. We were very impressed by the service first and foremost. Her attention to the details were very much appreciated. The food was excellent. We were first timers today. And greatly appreciate the hospitality. We will return. Thank you“

“Great service and great food. The specials are always creative and interesting. Atmosphere is super casual. On the bar side there are plenty of huge screens, but there is also a dining room side that doesn't have all of the distractions if that's what you're looking for. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large.“

“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. ❤️“

“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 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.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“When I come to Gator Jakes, I always get Gator bites and their gumbo. Simply delicious 😋 Everything is seasoned to perfection 👌🏼 adding a second review, again everything is delicious, gator bites, wings and spinach and artichoke dip 6/9/26“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“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!!“

“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“

“best food i have had in some time“

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

“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.“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“Still just a great place to hang out. We had a very big group. They easily accommodated us. Multiple checks were no issue. So different people could come and go with no issue. They have a very wide range of beverages to choose from.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access with wide aisles.“

“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.“

“Booths are huge easily fit out party of 8. My son decided to order a steak that came out cooked and he ask medium it was well they did replace but was a slight inconvenience. I cooked mine at the table and it was great. If it wasn't for the overcooked steak they would have got 5 stars“
