Great bar with a cool vibe and an awesome staff. Really great thoughtful selection overall including a solid beer list. They had an inventive yet unpretentious cocktail list. I ordered a cosmo with a local cucumber vodka, which was perfectly balanced. My partner got their bourbon cocktail which was seasoned with allspice bitters. I also had to try their espresso martini which was one of the best I've had, great flavor and intense coffee notes enhanced with a hazelnut liquor. Their staff was also incredible and very attentive. Go here asap!!

I wasn't going to even write a review because I was hoping the owner would contact me to make the situation better but here we are almost two weeks later with no response. I visited this establishment a few weeks ago ordering only two cocktails from the bar. I paid for the cocktails with my card and I tipped the bartender in cash because I know working in the industry card tips normally get paid out in your paycheck cash tips are always better. I signed my receipt for a certain amount crossing out the tip line. The next morning I get a notification from my bank notifying me that a $5 additional charge has been added to my total. Pretty much meaning that someone added an additional tip without my knowledge. I went back to the bar to try and get some understanding on why this happened and the bartender pushed me off stating the owner would contact me and left my number. Here we are weeks later with no contact. So I would double check all transactions after visiting this establishment.

Dope spot. Kind of small but that’s what the kids like these days ? I’m 33 and usually the oldest person here.

You’ll find Pourin’ Joy to live up its name and then some.The space is the perfect size, the dart room has enough room for two groups of people to duke it out, and for others to observe and root for their favorite dart player.A staple on Park Ave, and always a great time.

Had the best pre-dinner drinks at Pourin Joy last night! We almost missed our dinner because we didn’t want to leave. Seriously… you don’t find places like this. The service, kindness, really (really) delicious cocktails, great music, and coziness of this sweet little bar will definitely bring us back. Perfect vibes. It makes me so happy that spots like this exist in Rochester!

We can't say enough good things about this place! The service was exceptional, Adam made our night! It's giving dive bar vibes with craft cocktails! I'll be bringing all of my friends here!

Came here once after a happy hour nearby, and we thought, "Where else can we get more good cocktails?" We'd run by this Park Avenue location a few times and had heard from some of our running friends, "Hey, I hear that place has good cocktails." That place was Pourin Joy.And we were not disappointed! It's small and cozy. The bartenders are nice. The cocktail menu is short enough so that you're not overwhelmed a la Cheesecake Factory, but long enough that there is at least one thing for every sector of your tongue. There is also a decent beer selection; some crafty, some blue collar. Went back again over the holidays for the ugly sweater contest. The cocktails were, as always, well crafted and delicious. The Mint'N Joys were one of the better-balanced holiday cocktails I've tasted. And the cheap-o Utica Club beers were the perfect palate cleanser. If you want a great cocktail at a bustling-but-snug little place on Park Avenue, you can do no better than Pourin Joy!Pro tip: get the loaded nachos. Possibly the best I've ever tasted.

If I was in the Rochester area and a doctor told me I had 1 hour to live, I’d spend it at Pourin’ Joy. Happiest place in Rochester.
