“We recently ordered a fairly large quantity of food and drinks from Mullers for my sisters baby shower. They were easy to work with, gave us a great deal and checked in a few times to make sure everything was on schedule. When I arrived for pick-up they greeted me at the door by my first name with smiles just like I was family. They also helped to load everything into my trunk. A few days after the event they even checked in to see how everything went! This is how you run a business! It’s hard in 2023 to find an establishment with that kind of class and professionalism. I highly recommend Mullers for any catering needs. Even better yet, stop in and enjoy some drinks, cider and food with some friends or family. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Food was fabulous. I am a gluten-free vegetarian so I sometimes find it hard to get anything but salad. Not here! Had a Beyond burger on a GF roll. It was wonderful. My granddaughter had an absolutely delicious (according to her) chicken sandwich and we had ice cream for dessert. Our waitress, Beth, was very friendly and took great care of us and the decor is very fun and nostalgic. We are already making plans to head back to the area this summer and we will definitely be stopping in.“

“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”!!“

“THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAR IN ROCHESTER.

We went on a Friday. It was crowded. It was loud. It was a blast. The music, though- I don't know HOW they got ahold of the ipod full of my favorite songs (I don't even live here!) but someone had surely snagged it from deep in my drawer- how else could they have played such a perfect playlist?? (Clearly not that they have been an intense purveyor of the human condtion from behind a bar and now inherently know what songs will get a crowd going. No way. )

Anyway I love this place and I wanna come back. Thank you for doing what you do.“

“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.”“

“They had a customer appreciation day, & I had such a good time! They put out tons of food from shrimp to chicken parmesan, & even cookies for dessert... of course was ham & meatballs & a cheeseball (which I ate just as is cause it delicious!) I played pool had a couple of beers & shots & ate like a pig! Everyone was there & if you didn't know them before, it didn't matter because you will know before you leave because everyone is friends with everyone & their just there to have a good time.... And that is what life is all about!!!!“

“Best place to be when you want to make memories with friends“

“My friend Tom ordered a Genesee cream Ale Bach. I had never heard of Bach. It is fantastic. You could drive by this large stone parking lot and miss the sign that says tavern. We sat outside and watched the bikes on the Lehigh Trail. Perfect!“

“Had a few rounds of drinks with the owner and bartender on our visit and loved this place. Really appreciated the attention to detail with great ingredients in all the drinks and the welcoming vibe. Absolutely a gem in this neighborhood and worth a visit for anyone looking for a nice place to start or end the night with great drinks.“

“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.“

“My husband and I attended the concert with Anthony Beastmode and Hollywook. We had one of the best nights of our lives. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and enjoyed getting out and meeting new people. I made a couple new friends at the concert and became part of the rebel family.“

“Super fun party atmospheres“

“the bartender. Best bartender in Rochester, New York!!!“

“Long overdue - needed to get some plates to go - road trip to Syracuse AND the owners (husband and wife) packed everything the way I needed it to go in a cooler. Warmed it all up 7 hours later and the plates were perfect! Portions are huge, taste is fantastic! Grateful customer since the mid 90’s.“

“Absolutely blown away with everything. We could not go wrong with anything on the menu, and the only thing that upset us was that we could not stomach more. Marisa was an amazing server and was absolutely lovely. Kudos to all of the chefs who prepared the food to perfection! We will definitely be coming back, and cannot wait to see what is on the next menu.“
