“This is what the Cornhill neighborhood needs. I came in one night on my way home from work and it did not disappoint. I had a couple of the appetizers but my favorite was the scalloped wrapped bacon. It's a delicious plate of bacon sandwiches but substitute the bread with scallops. Since I went in about 3 weeks ago I've been back twice for the same. Top notch service as well as a very friendly environment. I bet this place goes crazy when the weather is nicer and the back patio is open.“
“So, just really went to listen to a friend that plays in a band. I can say the service was good, bartenders did a great job as the place was packed. Did order some Bavarian Pretzels, they were good but the cheese dip had jalapeno in it, wife not a fan . Looked like a decent bar menu, fish fry on Fridays so I will be back. The wings looked and smelled good.Draft beer was cold, liked that.“
“This place smelled of moth balls upon entering, its dingy as all hell and the poor bartender was overwhelmed from a pre concert crowd but this place was AWESOME. The wings and other fried goodies were excellent. It may be a biker bar some days, an Irish bar some days and possibly a music venue on others. I'm definitely gonna watch their concert list and make the drive back. If I lived in Rochester this place would be my home base. Free parking in back. If you're familiar with (or from) Buffalo, think old Pink meets Tudor lounge meets Brick Bar. With PARKING! If drinking mixed drinks order doubles. They use pint glasses...“
“I ordered catering from them, and I received so many compliments for the food. It made my event a great one.Vegetarian options: They were more accommodating to make sure some items didn't even touch anything with meat being served.Dietary restrictions: They made a wonderful cauliflower pizza for my gluten free guests.“
“Went here a couple weeks ago with my daughter. The food was amazing! She asked for milk, which wasn't on the menu, but between the cooks and the waitress they accompanied her request and that was much appreciated. I will definitely go back for a fish fry to go! I want to try the chowder too!“
“Spent an unusual Easter Sunday evening in this bar after most of Rochester seemed to be closed. I was glad to hear that everyone had done due service to attending church that day. Great bartenders and interesting chat in a well run local bar that seemed welcome to all. Thanks to Don, who has not given in to the blue and brown.“
“Great atmosphere with very good pool players. Melissa(Mel) has a unique touch of service - she ensures every drink rests beautifully on a coaster. I have observed her overtime, and she's meticulously consistent at it. Even when you change seats, she brings you a new coaster. This subtle but professional etiquette makes her standout. Overall, service is excellent!!“
“The Angry Goat Pub may just be my favorite bar in Rochester. The food and service alone make this one of the best neighborhood bars you can find. As a self-proclaimed garbage plate enthusiast and expert, Angry Goat Pub is in my top 3 favorite plates in Rochester. The main difference between this plate and others you can find in Monroe County is that the homefries are swapped for garlic Parmesan fries, and the meat sauce has goat cheese stacked on top. It's just so good and filling- I had it yesterday and I still haven't felt the feeling of hunger in almost 24 hours. Also importantly, Angry Goat's kitchen is open very late, which is the perfect time to eat one of their plates. The service has also consistently been great. Sometimes at dive bars getting served on a busy night can be a hassle, but here we have been treated very well and served efficiently. There has also been live music here on a pretty consistent basis, but I haven't seen anything like that here. For those looking for a neighborhood bar in the South Wedge, this is definitely the spot to be. Street parking can be a bit of a hassle, so just be careful if driving in.“
“We really liked the quiet and under-decorated nature of The Hideaway. It was uncluttered and relaxed and unpretentious. We could talk and hear each other effortlessly which is so much more enjoyable than most restaurants that are so loud these days. Our waitress was very attentive. The Buffalo cauliflower was the best we’d ever eaten. It was so light and so tasty with a great accompanying dip. The burger tasted great with very natural flavors and the toppings blended in a way that was delicious but not too forward or “loud”. I was underwhelmed by the brioche bun. It was fine but not up to the snuff of the quality of the burger. The scallops were perfectly cooked. The Brussels sprout, mushroom, and creamy purée of something side was good but not spectacular. The cocktail, something with plum liqueur, was one of the best we’ve had anywhere in Rochester. We’ll become regulars here.“
“The bar tender Austin, is HIM!Not only does he provide amazing service, I watched him run out of the bar, leaping the fence bushes and a 10 yard gap to save children from a burning bus. It was insane. (This is a joke)For real Bar Bantam has incredible drinks, amazing staff that genuinely care you have a good experience. And the food is definitely the best in town for an even better price.They also have the best wings“
“Stopped by for lunch and had the steak sandwich. Absolutely Delish. Grilled hoagie roll, slathered in sweet sauteed onions, peppers and shrooms. Umami City for sure. Should have gone for the fries because the mac salad was supremely MEH! It's a horse race crowd with 6 screens and OTB on site. Great service behind the bar and really good food. Dinners are great for all the family.Parking: Room for 20+- .“
“Low lighted little bar with one pool table. About 20 seats at the bar. We had a local that filled us in on the positive goings on in the neighborhood and the pool tournament tonight. He's so proud to live here. Just jumped in for a beer and the hopes of meeting some new fun people.“
“In town visiting for the night and wanted to try some steak and cheese quesadillas aka Quesedillas de Bistec. The food was amazing and an absolute hit. After having the first bite I had to also have my grandma try it and she loved it. I can’t wait to try more menu items in the future. 10/10“
“I've been to this place on several occasions over the past couple of years, and today, I have to say the food was disappointing ?. Fish fry did not taste fresh and had a slimy consistency, and left a metal flavor. I have always been happy with their food and service, but today was a disappointing experience.“
“We had a fish fry on a Friday night and wow it was definitely worth the money. We stayed for a band after. The Bartenders were friendly and I'll definitely be checking it out again. Fish fry night is popular so reservations or getting there early is a must.Parking: Parking was up the street but worth the walk.“
“Family and I went on a whim to enjoy some really great bar food and drinks. I can't remember the name of the waitress, unfortunately, but she was one of the sweetest people we've met. She went and got my 4 yo daughter coloring books and crayons to keep her entertained and we were all so happy enjoying our meal and drinks. I haven't seen my daughter eat so much and experiment with food!Thank you Windjammers for making our first night in Rochester the best.“
“Generally a lowkey spot to grab a drink. Nice to stop in spur of the moment while enjoy the South Wedge. However, it definitely gets pretty loud here during late nights. If you're feeling hungry, Toasted Bear has some of the most delicious French fries I've ever eaten!“
“I was only in there one time, but I was treated very, very well. The woman that worked there said she had been working there for quite some time. She was an excellent conversationist. And I liked the fact that they have a separate smoking room. Because I don't smoke and I would not even be in there if they did smoke but the atmosphere was great. The people were great and the chicken wings were very, very good. I ought to know. I used to have my own restaurant called Ron's famous wings. And I won several awards for my chicken wings back in the day.So thank you everybody for being such a great host.And I will be back again 1 day.I only live walking distance from you“
“Gluten free pizza and mocktails!What a fun place for food and drinks! They have a wood oven they make all their pizzas in, minus the gluten free.Gluten free is prepared and cooked separately to reduce cross contamination. Be prepared to wait +20 minutes for a gf pizza.I ordered the pizza special on the gluten free crust. Not bad! It’s a bit thicker (not full Detroit but not NYC thin). Overall, not bad. I would order it again, but this wouldn’t be my first choice for a GF pizza. The crust fine, a little dense and premade.They have a couple of fun mocktail options that aren’t some overpriced lemonade junk. I would recommend going for the atmosphere and drinks (alcoholic or not). I’m excited to see what else I can try on the menu.The staff are so friendly and helpful! All my questions were answered and it was so fun watching everyone cook at the pizza oven!Street parking only.“
