50 Best Bars near Mendon

“If Hollywood needed to make a movie with an authentic town bar, they would film it here. It's been in operation since 1946, is the quintessential town bar, and is an amazing gem in Mendon. I was there with a buddy of mine for the first time and the bartender put a bottle of beer on the bar where no one was sitting. Three minutes later, a regular popped in and sat down to enjoy that beer.

I knew then and there this place was legit.“

“You gotta bee there to fully experience it.“

“The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, and menu items are creative, filling takes on comfort sandwiches and entrees. The cocktail menu is a romp through classics both reinvigorated and reimagined. The staff is attentive and efficient, and answers questions about ingredients and sourcing well. Definitely put Mendon 64 on your must-try list if you are in the Rochester area.“

“This building has been home to a tavern for exactly 200 years, since 1824: “Prior to it becoming Thirsty’s in 1971, names/dates included; 1820’s being Warner’s Tavern, 1920’s being Windy’s Town Tavern, 1930’s being Scoop & Hazel and the 1960’s Tallo’s Town Tavern.”“

“Not usually one to review but I found it extremely helpful when I was searching for a hotel. Coming from the US, I expect a certain standard and this checked all the boxes. Safety; security was on point no loitering, etc and key card gave you access to only your floor. I got a standard room with a balcony and wonderful view. I picky about bathrooms. It was on point. Hot water, water pressure, decor. Price point way better value than the higher priced options. I'm not much of a breakfast person but there were more than enough options (I'm not vegetarian).“

“Best fun bar! Great food, great people and attentive bartenders“

“Absolutely loved the new menu. The whole staff was exceptional and professional. Food was delicious and served promptly. Really liked the “at table” type of presentations from the servers. \n\nI’ve been there several times over the years and found tonight’s experience was the best of all.“

“One of the two places I'll go to and I really like this place the best, wish I was able to go more often! Great food, reasonable prices and the staff is very good. The owner is friendly, helpful and always makes everyone feel welcome and that is rare, sadly enough“

“We just had lunch a group of 18 at Salts Restaurant this afternoon and everything was perfect. The atmosphere and service were outstanding even as they also cared for another large party. Due to the snow and the snow plow blocking the ramp a few of us needed help navigating the back entrance stairs. Both Katie and Armando were great helps. They were both very strong and familiar with assisting people. I knew I was in capable hands. And everyone loved their food. The food was plentiful with lots of delicious options. I had the Reuben that was so good. Thanks to the entire staff for a job “well done”!!“

“We had a table of six, we all enjoyed our food. The portions are generous and the service was excellent!“

“The food was the closest thing to my dear old Italian grandmother's. I commented to our server how the food tasted so authentic and learned the owner/chef is from the same small town in Italy as my grandmother. You could taste it in the food! The service was as good as the food. We left there feeling like we were just at a family dinner. It was our first time here and it's a 1.5 hour drive, but we will be back often. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend. Great neighborhood “local” tavern. Excellent Beer list. Great food, large portions. Goes on the Official BeerRanger Trail Marker Roster.“

“Our go-to for sushi and Asian pear martinis.“

“I came to Donnellys with family.I’m visiting From New Jersey . This is a pub that’s worth the trip wonderful atmosphere. The onion rings were the best.“

“SO happy we chose VRock for our little function. I really love the renovations they have made! It is beautiful in there. Perfect for fun or sexy get togethers. And the staff; SO NICE. We had two bartenders and they were very attentive, pleasant, and quite funny. I have not had a chance to try the food yet, but I definitely plan to visit again soon.“

“Great food and awesome waitresses!“

“no pressure, fun atmosphere,“

“Food is excellent, service awesome Great place to go! Highly recommend it if you're in the Victor NY area“

“Best bar in town, great food and better drinks 🍻“

“This is by far the best plate in Rochester!! The garbage plate wrap is AMAZING! They also have a sauce called panther sauce that elevates the plate! The only suggestion I have is they need to figure out the phone situation. I feel like they unplug the phones on purpose so they don’t have to take more orders. This makes it hard when wanting to order ahead, we have to drive there and hope for the best when it comes to a wait time. Other then that I HIGHLY recommend!“

“The atmosphere was was great. Our waitress Bella( at the Rochester one) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly sling with our hostess and other table help. Was a great experience. The only thing I was disappointed in ( which wasn’t any of these peoples doing) was my porterhouse steak. For the money, it should have been a nice cut. It was an end cut, one that even some stores don’t use…let alone a very upscale restaurant. It was also supposed to be med rare n was med. I didn’t send it back because st least it was pink, but it was well past med rare. My crab cake was very good. The lobster and crab mac and cheese was also very good. I’d definitely recommend and go back. Just not sure if I’d get the porterhouse again. Probably go with just the filet.“

“Never a bad meal or experience. THE place to go for a consistently great meal. If anything is not right, Ken and the staff will bend over backwards to please, just don't be shy. Mac and cheese is amazing. Now I'm hungry and will be going tonight!
Had the Mac and Cheese with Cajun chicken. OMG! Wife had the rice bowl with chicken. Great menu addition.“

“The food - delicious, atmosphere fun, st. Patrick's day parade after party even better. Bar service was slow, but can you blame them for being busy, Nope. The live band was awesome. Will I go back there Absolutely.

Parking: It can get full.“

“Reunion of a few hockey players from the 1970's for lunch today . Our waitress was Molly and she was (Johnny on the Spot) from ordering to getting refills on our drinks . We were very pleased with the Tenders , French Onion soup and the Burgers ! Even the popcorn was great . The $11.99 lunch menu was perfect . Molly was one step ahead of us whatever we needed and it cost us about HALF of what we paid at Distillery on our previous lunch .

Parking: Lots of parking“

“Recently went for a girls dinner and was happy to find many gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu. Staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Food and cocktails were delicious. Celiac approved. Will be back.“

“During my recent stay at the Hilton Hotel, I had the pleasure of experiencing the bartending services at their stunning garden bar. The ambiance of the tranquil setting was enhanced by the remarkable skills of their bartender, Jeff.Moreover, their ability to engage with guests, and making you feel welcomed. He walked me through his years of experience with the hotel and it was quite comforting.“

“Best tacos in Rochester and it’s not even close! Food specials are always a hit. Great people and great atmosphere!“

“Went to dinner with work friends and the service & food was amazing! I asked to talk to the manager because I lije to give credit where credit is due. Kelly was so professional and took the time to come over and thank us for letting her know hiw well her staff did! We will be coming back a lot!!!“

“Today we had a problem with a takeout order at Flaherty's. The order we picked up was inaccurate. We called and the person who answered said to come back in a few minutes. When we returned we were greeted by the manager who offered his apologies for the mishap and offered to give us a free meal for our inconvenience. In summation: A problem resolved! Thank you Flaherty's, see you soon!“

“We had 2 events in the month of February. Meg was my point of contact for both. She has the best communication skills I have ever come across at a restaurant! She was super easy to get ahold of and always answered my questions promptly and efficiently. She was very accommodating with our themed events and made sure the room was set up to meet our needs. The room was organized well and we had ample space for both events that had over 20 people at each one. The food came out quickly and the portions were good and the food was tasty. I enjoyed both my meals and the great service that was provided. When they were made aware of any questions or concerns, they were dealt with quickly, we just had to let them know. There was a discrepancy with the gratuity accidentally being charged 20% for one of the events, but as soon as they were made aware of the situation it was taken care of. They went above and beyond and they will be at the top of my list for my next event!“

“We use this hotel each year on our trip to Ohio from Maine. Easy to find from I 90. We were welcomed by Diamond at reception in a professional and friendly manner which was nice after a long drive. The rooms are clean and tidy, quiet nights rest , breakfast is always good and we were on our way again.Will. be using this hotel again ! Again a big Thank You to Diamond, definitely an asset to the hotel.“

“Delicious. Great service. Definitely coming back.“

“Sunday brunch on the Erie Canal before heading for the Syracuse Crunch vs. Rochester Americans hockey game. Great service by Maggie, who is very friendly. The ham/cheese omelette was delicious as was my wife's all-american breakfast. Look forward to dining here again soon.“

“The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was really clean. The tables were clean. Wait time when I first walked in until the time I was seated was approximately five minutes once I was seated the waitress appeared within 3 to 4 minutes to take my order. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The Reuben sandwich was really well made very flavorful for my side. I chose the macaroni salad which had no flavor whatsoever. It was very bland.“

“The fish fry is always my go to, but everything I order here is great!! 😊 Staff is amazing, it’s always clean, it’s nice not to stick to the floor!!!“

“They have a massive beer list! Friendly and helpful wait staff. Just a few blocks from Canal bike trail.“

“Our waitress Holly was the best waitress we have ever had there.She was friendly,attentive,right on too of things.When we needed something she got it right away.Such a sweet person.The food is absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot.Chili's is one of my favorite places to eat.I will recommend it to all my family and friends!!!“

“Thank you for letting us Host an event there! Service was wonderful :)“

“This was my husband and I first time eating at Sticky Lips. We were pleased with our meal. We both had the pulled pork sandwich, with cut fries. They were very generous with their food and it was good. Our Server Corey was very cordial, he checked on us several times, he brought us refills on our drinks without us asking him to. We would certainly go back if we are in town again. Thank you Sticky Lips for your food, and thank you Corey for your service.“

“Went for my birthday dinner with my family, none of us had been there before, and it was an overall great experience, both the service and the food. I wish I had gotten the waitress’s name, because she did an excellent job and definitely deserves the kudos“

“Plum Garden provided the perfect setting for a friend’s birthday celebration. Freddy’s entertaining flair added a lively and enjoyable experience. The filet and scallops were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor- but that could be the butter, haha. The overall experience, from the ambiance to the food, was fantastic. Highly recommend Plum Garden for a special occasion or a simple dining experience!“
