Danielle was our server. She was pleasant and accommodating. We ordered a beer flight. Prosciutto Arancitti, Buffalo chicken pierogies. And the banh Mi. All the food was delicious and hot. We would come back. Close proximity to the F Douglas Airport in Rochester! Treat yourself !

Was delicious. Old historic building, seating inside & out. Menu was yummy. I love the pretzel with cheese. They had a GF menu for my husband and a nice gift shop down below.

If you are in the area you have to stop by the Genesee Brew house. Good food. Drinks. Some really awesome clothing and views from the bridge of high falls right outside its doors.Nashville Chicken sandwich was good!

View of downtown Rochester is great. The food is great, cooked just right. Beer is amazing too. I would return.

My wife RIT daughter, two of her college friends and I came here by about 4:30 for an early dinner before the RIT ice hockey game at the Blue Cross arena , not a very long walk away. And a nice parking lot right across the street! Picture of the outside and view toward the bar inside are attached. For the five if us we shared a Bavarian soft pretzels with cheese & mustard sauce that were very good. My salted caramel chocolate porter went nicely with the pretzel sticks. For entrees the others had: - a goat cheese burger; - buffalo chicken pizza; - a veggie burger - a pear pizza I had bangers & mash that was good. We were too busy talking, so I missed taking pictures of what we ate, but they all looked attractively presented and everyone must have liked theirs because it was all gone. Bryan did a good job helping us. We left our cars parked here, walked to the hockey game and walked back after.

Really chill atmosphere, very friendly staff extremely attentive waitress. Lots of TVs but it was a football day so we enjoyed. It wasn't very busy while we were there. The view of the falls was beautiful, recommend the balcony if the temperature allows.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, still a brewery though, so beer is the main focus.Parking: Plenty of parking!

A must visit place if you are in downtown Rochester. They offer good food and are known especially for their in house brewed beers! The staff here were friendly and polite. They also have a lot of their own merchandise you could purchase from.

Disappointed overall. Location is amazing, the building looks amazing from the outside and the first floor is a super cool store. The second floor where the restaurant is located does not have a great ambiance. There was live music playing and it was great, although a bit loud, it was hard to keep a conversation. Food was a big disappointment. We did not like the salad, the chili, the burger nor the tacos.

We stopped in on a Monday unfortunately on a day when there were no tours. But the store is very cool and the beer tasting bar looked great. Next time we will time it better and partake in everything including lunch upstairs. This is a great venue and I'd say a must do for visitors and locals alike. Hoping next time they have "Genny" bumper stickers!
Went here at an off peak hour, was seated promptly - but then took about 15 minutes for a Server to finally arrive. No greeting, no apology or explanation, begrudgingly took our drink order - wouldn't let us order food yet, and disappeared for about another 15 minutes. Dropped off drinks and said her shift was over. Took forever for a new Server to come around for the food order. Almost an hour in until food arrived. Wings, etc. were good, but not worth the above average wait. Also very unhelpful Hostess stand. Younger Hostess was mute and seemed to have no clue. Older Hostess was not friendly and not paying attention to service problems in dining room. We've been here before and had great experiences - but service has noticeably declined,

The atmosphere was fun and accommodating. We went there with a bunch of families from our hockey team, we didn't all get to sit together (it was a large group), but the staff was wonderful & helpful. The food was great. Fast service, great beer! Thanks

Very nice brewpub serving good beer and good food. We enjoyed the Scotch ale and the experiment IPA, both were great to drink alone or with food. The menu has many traditional brewpub food, like brats and burgers. Simple menu, but everything was done right.The service was great. Our servers were attentive and knowledgeable, allowing us to taste the beers before buying the whole pint.Good beer, good food, and great view of the fall. This combination is very difficult to top.Parking: Parking on premise

Cowboy burger was more like a cardboard burger, dry no flavor on a stale bun, beer is good, nice place.
