27 Best Pubs in Rochester

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

“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.“

“Favorite local spot. Food is always good, rotating selection of beers on tap, friendly service, never so packed you can't move.“

“I love half pint ❤️❤️ it’s one of my favorite bars. Very cute, cozy, relaxed, and fun. You can meet lots of people here & they have great bartenders!“

“So many bars these days are either absolute dives with crap offerings or so sanitized, corporatized, and curated that I don't relax or feel connected to real people there. The Boot Room Pub strikes a great balance- a comfortable, friendly atmosphere with a range of awesome beer choices and award-winning pizza, (plus a full menu incl great wings) from Bay & Goodman- which is connected to it. The bartenders there can mix your favorites with the best of them and added a few tasty creations of their own as well.
Of course it's the premier soccer bar in town, but it's also a great place to watch NFL football, MLB baseball, NBA basketball, or your sport of choice- there are plenty of TV's. It's a good place to bring friends or strike up a conversation because the music isn't too loud like it is in some places.“

“Good experience. Just need to make the pea’s mushy“

“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. 😃❤️😃“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The best place in town! If you haven’t been definitely should check it out! Everyone Who works there is amazing and it feels very homey ❤️“

“JJ's offers a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The ambiance is perfect for relaxing with a beverage. It's a delightful place to unwind after a long day. You can enjoy a quiet moment or engage in friendly conversation. It's truly a pleasant spot to stop in and refresh.“

“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“

“Was in from out of town looking for a place to eat late and The Angry Goat Pub sure delivered. Awesome experience here. Extremely friendly staff, awesome food and very cool vibe. Great beer selection too. Had the honey hot wings well done! Flavor was spectacular. Will definitely come back here if I’m ever in Rochester again.“

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

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

“Seriously the most Incredible chicken french sandwich I’ve ever had !!!!! I can’t even!!!!! Unbelievable fries , will be recommending 100% out of this world!!“

“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!“

“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!“
