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.”

Thirsty's is what every bar aspires to be. Some places have it, but most do not. There's something special about a tavern that welcomes all, with no pretensions allowed or necessary. The patrons and bartenders accept strangers and regulars, remember your name, and will treat you with dignity. The crowd is mind-boggling eclectic and people from all walks of life enter the building with no signage at 8 State Street in Pittsford.I spent an afternoon solo and an evening accompanied by my wife at Thirsty's after flying into Rochester from Milwaukee. By the night's end, I hugged the owner and his wife, met the bartender's dad, and felt like I lived in Pittsford my whole life. Thirsty's has an aura that's impossible to replicate. Go and join the Thirsty's family.

Bartender turned music off at 10 pm when they close at 12. They clearly were trying to push people out early. Terrible atmosphere after. Service sucked.

Great people, great alcohol, great atmosphere. I enjoyed everything about about the place, even the prices. The next door food joint is fantastic. Can't go wrong with going here.

We were passing through on the bike trail and stopped by for a beer. Friendly folks. We were able to eat our lunch from Hungry’s (which is next door) at the bar.

Conner is by far and away the best bartender in the greater Rochester area. Great service! Thank you for the hospitality!

From Buffalo. Our son is in camp so we had a mini vacation nearby. Thirsty’s has a great beer beer list. We’re IPA people. The outdoor patio is awesome. The staff is supper friendly. The owner, aka chip & pickle guy, is a great guy. Thanks.

Someone else bought my drinks so I can not speak to prices. I will say that there was a nice atmosphere and spacious outside patio area.
Nice place, good drinks and nice outdoor area. Good food next door at hungrys, open late.
Christopher Taylor
Great local spot. Tons of great beers on tap including The Other Half!
Jay Bernunzio
Same old school atmosphere. Never disappoints..

This is the closest thing we have to a “you gotta be in the know to know about this place”. No signage and no frills. Just a good corner, “dive”’ bar that happens to be open a lot later than everything else around.

I couldn't find this place when I was looking for it because the building looks like an old house in the middle of Pittsford. Once I found it, I was pleasantly surprised. The bar is very big and the bartender was by himself and a workhorse. The people there were friendly.
