Strangebird Brewery • $$
62 Marshall Street, Rochester

“Visited Strangebird today. And the atmosphere is great! Full service bar. Or tables available for larger groups. The food amazing. Our bartender Dee was epic!! Had the smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. A phenomenal pairing Tried the bbq spaghetti which nearly blew me outta my seat!!! The bbq sauce was epic! @strangebird you need to shrink the size of the bbq spaghetti to a fries size and server them with the handhelds in place of French fries with that bbq sauce. Cuz heck yes! That bbq sauce on the side as a dipper 🤩🤩🤩. Great job to the staff. Bigger vehicles might wanna park on the street. If it’s busy, the parking lot is very narrow.“

Rohrbach Railroad Street Beer Hall Brewery • $$
97 Railroad Street, Rochester

“We would highly recommend having your event with this venue! We booked the Beer Hall without seeing the room. It was decorated so beautifully, was set up perfect with large tables and offered ample space for socializing! The buffet was delicious and offered many options. They also provided us a gluten free dish for one of our guests! Nicole was amazing in serving our guests, making sure everything was taken care of timely and was fantastic to work with (which was all done over the phone). Thank you Rohrbach and Nicole for making our rehearsal dinner a memorable one! All of our guests were so impressed and truly enjoyed the evening!!“

“Came in to explore from Pennsylvania and chose this brewery at random. Great vibes and even better food/beer. Had a great selection of more than just IPAs or sours, which most breweries have fallen into this habit, and the wings were some of the best we have ever had in our lives. Such an incredible / original sauce!“

FIFCO USA Brewery •
445 Saint Paul Street, Rochester

“First time visiting this warehouse today, and honestly, it went better than I expected — especially after reading some of the mixed reviews online.

I used Hammer to get there, and I highly recommend doing the same — it saved me a ton of time and got me exactly where I needed to be. My appointment was at 12:30 PM, but I showed up around 10:30 AM and they were kind enough to take me in early, which I really appreciated.

Quick tip for other drivers: if you're hauling a catload or empty cans, make sure you go around to the back of the warehouse — that's where you need to be. Look for the red sign back there; the yellow sign is for the main entrance. Also, keep an eye out for the low bridge — it's there, so just be aware and you'll be fine.

Overall, it was a smooth visit. The staff was accommodating, and with a little preparation (and the right GPS), you'll have a good experience too. I'd come back again.“
