“Ate there last night. Service was good. Manager Julie super friendly and welcoming. 3 of us had fish fries, 2 battered, 1 breaded. Large portions but a bit overcooked. Coleslaw portion small though. Broccoli with garlic butter had a topping that was a bit salty until I mixed it up. Delicious. Super attentive waitress. Never had to ask for a refill of ice tea she'd bring it upon noticing it was getting low. Wedge salad ginormous!! Almost entire head of lettuce!! Friendly staff and good service. Definitely going back for a 2nd try on the fish.“

“First time coming here since it was Blossom and I’m more than pleased! The Bay & Goodman Pizza shop attached was 10/10! I was apprehensive on ordering a wrap, expecting it to be every other pizza shop wrap, but it was the farthest thing from my expectations, extremely fresh and delicious! Highly recommend checking out the new and improved establishment!“

“I hosted a party at O'Callaghan's last weekend and had the best experience! The staff were so accommodating and flexible with our group. There were 25 of us in attendance and Savannah the bartender was such a massive help and so incredibly friendly. We all can't wait to visit again! The backyard patio/deck is stunning also this time of year, and there was a huge tent in the backyard open for anyone to use. What an awesome space that deserves more attention!“

“We love it there and had delicious jumbo wings and super terrific onion rings tonight. Football and ice hockey both being shown. Our bartender, Brianna is the best and Dustin rocked the food. 😃❤️😃“

“The food is always incredible with good portions. Appetizers big enough to share. They had a high chair, but not a booster seat so not the most toddler friendly place, but my toddler liked it regardless. I’ve been here many times, and the quality never waivers“

“Love football Sundays at MicGinny's...Angie is the best bartender!! Love the place!!“

“We were there in March for the Billy Joel tribute band and dinner. The food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Loved the cool decor and plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.“

“Decided to stop in for dollar wing days for linch with a friend. Lady (Jen i think) was amazing. Fast and friendly service and she made some delicious wings! Keep up the good work! I will definitely be back. Recommended. It also has one of those fun bells on the wall....but, ring it and buy the bar a round! Looks like a lot of darts played as well“

“Had a great time until John the bartender farted. Completely cleared out the stool crowd.“

“Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name…and they’re always glad you came!“

“I got off work late and we wanted to find a good place for a later dinner. Both the goat salad and the burger were amazing! The kitchen was open until 1am which is unique for Rochester. Staff were kind and check up on us regularly. Will be coming back in the future.“

“One of my favorite bars in Rochester ♥️♥️♥️“

“The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was really clean. The tables were clean. Wait time when I first walked in until the time I was seated was approximately five minutes once I was seated the waitress appeared within 3 to 4 minutes to take my order. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The Reuben sandwich was really well made very flavorful for my side. I chose the macaroni salad which had no flavor whatsoever. It was very bland.“

“As a musician, I want to send Bob kudos, for being a kind and gracious host. Myself, and the rest of the guys from Flannel Underground really appreciate when a venue. Owner is genuine and good dude! Great atmosphere, great food, great staff!“

“When my family is in Rochester we always make a trip to drifters!“

“Great place to have family fun“

“Now, this was my first visit to Folgers East End. I will say the drink I had was good and affordable. However, I didn’t like that the day I went there was no food available at all. I like the venue was easy for all my friends to gather together and catch up. I would like to see them bring back the food at a later hour because I would have order from you instead of leaving to order from somewhere else. They did have quite the selection for drinks and I could taste it first before buying it. Overall, I’d like to see them do more with this Venue and we had a good time!“
