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.
Bar Bantam is a wonderful restaurant and bar! They have great service and Chef Jimmy make the best food! Thank you Bar Bantam folx for the best experience! ^_^
I’ll be as honest as I can in this review. I’m not even upset to be honest. I’m just flat out DISAPPOINTED. My dear Friend had booked this place for her after party after her WEDDING. I mean this is her wedding day here guys. The day couldn’t be any more beautiful. I mean imagine a winter wonderland, now imagine having a wedding during said winter wonderland. She had a PHENOMENAL time at the wedding with loving family and true friends celebrating her and her newlywed husband, only to be hit with the surprise of two random birthday parties eating her food that she ordered for her friends and family?!?!?
I mean everything about the day literally went perfect and then we get blindsided by this???? Unacceptable to say the least! Again, I revert back to my feelings of disappointment. As for me? I was expecting to continue the fun day and celebrate my friend’s (whom I refer to as twin) amazing day. Again, am I asking everyone to give them negative reviews? Idk, but if you had your amazing winter wonderland wedding, had almost 100 people invited to an after party only to find that two other random parties are eating the food you paid for and are taking up the space you rented how would you feel???

Wish I could give negative stars!! Booked a private event after my WEDDING and was told there was a miscommunication between the manager and owner, multiple other parties there eating our food we had ordered for our wedding guests. Embarrassed and disgusted by this company. No apology at all.

Get the espresso martini made the bartender's way. You will have fantasies of that drink!
