This is a Rochester gem! Absolutely LOVED the experience and wanted more! The venue itself is absolutely fantastic. Historic building in the heart of downtown WITH PLENTY OF ADJACENT PARKING!!! What a way to live!!?? I really wish we'd come much earlier so we could have toured the facility. I'm sure it's a great tour. So many impressive historical displays around the facility and the place is clearly still a working brewery. So cool! Then the flight showed up! The 12 Horse Ale, Scotch Ale, and Vanilla Porter were such pleasant surprises! I mean, I came in knowing what Genny, Genny Light, and Cream Ale are. They're solid regional beers. No one's going searching for them, but they're good. I've grown accustomed to anticipating the Ruby Red releases in the warm months, but I had no idea that Genny had this kind of depth. And finally, the wings! I'm no Buffalo Wing expert, but I've had my share and I know what's good. These wings absolutely meet the standard for Western NY. The sauce (mild with a side of hot) was brilliant and absolutely reminiscent of the old school Anchor Bar and Duff's sauce. The real deal. Bar service and greetings by staff in the gift shop were so welcoming! We loved our experience and I'm pretty sure we'll be back! Thanks for making a good night even better!

Love going there. Always a good vibe. But….they’ve got to get better help in the kitchen. When I go, it’s usually middle of the week, and recently the burgers are always well done, despite asking for medium rare. I don’t send it back, but man, find someone that can at least cook a burger.

Bought a fur trapper hat while I was there. The hat has been working wonders for me with all this snow and cold. I would recommend this hat to anyone who needs something for the cold.

Came to the Brew House for the first time after going to the Strong Museum for the first time in years. The place was packed, and we were given a 60-90min wait but were sat within 20 minutes. Had a delicious reuben and the girlfriend enjoyed her dish. Wish they had a full bar for those who don't like beer, but at least they had some nice ciders. Would absolutely go back

Excellent Food, Service, and Entertainment done very well. I ❤️ genNY A very genny-rous helping of Fun 😁
This is really a fun place to go for either lunch or dinner. You must make time to spend in the store/museum. So much to see. We had a fun waitress and the food was pretty darn good. I had a very dark porter beer and my friend had a hard cider. Yeah I know a cider at the brewery, what can you do? Unfortunately the weather was lousy so we couldn't spend much time out on the bridge but did walk out to take a few pictures.

Great location on the water with lots of space. Their local beers are a staple of Upstate NY and their options are really quite better than what you see canned in local convenience stores.
Good views and always a fun time, prepared to wait though if trying to get dinner

The portions are pretty large. We usually take home enough for a second dinner for both of us.

Been here multiple times but today bit a bad taste in my mouth. We called earlier in the day and were told they don’t do reservations, then the girl on the phone proceeded to say “I can guarantee you a table at 6:30pm”. We show up early and the wait time is an hour. I would rather the people just be honest and say the wait would be a long time then lie to us.
