5 Best Gastropubs in Rochester

“We just had the best experience! From booking a reservation, parking right out front, AWESOME wait staff. The food... every single bite of every single thing we ordered was FANTASTIC. We will absolutely be back!“

“Popped in here for the first time last night to watch some world cup games. Owner was a super great guy and easy to strike up a conversation with. Atmosphere was chill and drinks were well priced.

Kitchen was closed so can't speak on the food, but overall I had a really great time here! (Helps that my team won too lol) Hoping to catch more games here in the future!“

“Highly recommend. Great neighborhood “local” tavern. Excellent Beer list. Great food, large portions. Goes on the Official BeerRanger Trail Marker Roster.“

“So I came here for the Blu Wolf challenge. I came here knowing it wasn’t going to happen but I still wanted to give it a go. When the order was placed I think the bartender was more excited than I was which made it fun.

20-30 minutes later here comes the platter. It’s huge. 4 half pound burgers doesn’t sound like a lot until you see it and try to eat it. The 40 minutes starts…. There is so much beef, well and fries, and Mac and cheese. Oh and I finished the milk shake! There was no surprise I didn’t complete the challenge but it was fun. I was able to eat 3 of the burger patties and some of the fries and Mac and cheese and about all the pickles tomatoes and onions. Then it was time to call it quits. It wasn’t going to get finished and I was walking 3 miles home I didn’t want to reach bursting stage.

It was fun the bartender was a good dude and I’m glad I did it. I’m 428 on the list.“

“Loud but trendy place. Got their goat plate. It was so good! I'm a garbage plate connoisseur and this is a different, elevated take on it. The garlic parm fries and goat cheese make it almost decadent, like something you can't eat too much of at once (which i know is counter-intuitive to the idea of a plate)but very tasty. And the burgers are legit, thick beefy bois. Meat sauce is tasty too. You'll have to add your own mustard if you're into that. $18.50 isn't cheap but it's worth. Only thing I would wish for is that their website allowed for a tipping option, since I don't carry cash.

Oh yeah, I got another plate from them and added caramelized onions and a side of their beer cheese. 10/10“
