The routine was just ok but the old fashioned was really good but for $20 for the drink it should be.

Great location, outdoor seating, tasty drinks, and fairly priced. Bar Bantam checks all the boxes. I had an Old Fashioned, and it was very well done. Highly recommend.

We were there for a rehearsal dinner. I didn't like that it was open to the building lobby. It was loud.

They give you the address - IMO, they should also say 'Chase Tower Lobby' - had drinks and dinner.
The Drunk Uncle was a little harsh - I'd sat stay away from that one - our server/bartender (Courtney) we thought was AWESOME! She must observe people that order Drunk Uncles to watch their reactions - she paid us the 'how are things at first sip' visit - and offered us a substitution since she couldn't bear to watch anyone not enjoying their drink. She substituted a Crystal Coconut (with extra 'zhoozh') - I'd order that one again, I gave Nic Nac a try - a tasty libation - the cherry bitters I thought would add a nice taste, and they were!
The Cauliflower bites with hot ginger we REALLY liked - still good the next day. The Ahi Tuna Nachos weren't bad - being frank, a similar dish we had at Nosh was exceptional.
Cool atmosphere - lots of foot traffic - most from the residents of the upper floors with their dogs.

A gem of the downtown Rochester dining and drinking scene. The staff is top notch veterans of all the best places you ever went and this should be the only place you go.

Throw a dart at the menu. It's a hit.
