28 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.“

“Popped in here for the first time last night to watch some world cup games. Owner was a super great guy and easy to strike up a conversation with. Atmosphere was chill and drinks were well priced.

Kitchen was closed so can't speak on the food, but overall I had a really great time here! (Helps that my team won too lol) Hoping to catch more games here in the future!“

“Atmosphere is casual yet pleasant. Service amazing : Pup and Staff always on point ( including very down to earth and cool owner), amicable and prompt. Food always awesome. Pulled Pork smoked and tasty. Very appealing patio with outdoor service and tranquility. Great place to eat, socialize or relax. Moreover great place to have parties or group events. Very spacious. Smoke friendly patio 😎 I recommend. Seeking bigger crowds after 9 pm.“

“The drinks are cold and Herman is dreamy“

“Disgusting place and so are the people who run it. Stayed open until 3am back in December and overserved a patron who fell, hit his head INSIDE the place, and ended up dying later because of it. The people working lied to the police and said he fell out in the parking lot and they dragged him inside when that wasn't true. All to try and protect this hole in the wall. The workers concocted a story to protect the bar. they claimed they found him outside, to try to not have to admit that the bar was open until 3 a.m. Actions were taken by the workers to make their story look believable. They placed the jacket on the victim, who was unconscious. They dragged the victim by the door to make it look like they brought him in from inside, and then they mopped up the drag marks from where they had dragged him from. I cannot wait till this disgusting place closes down forever, and I hope every one of you involved goes down HARD and I hope ya'll get sued into the ground.“

“Authentic Irish pub - don’t miss it“

“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“

“Good service, Good food. Highly recommend go here.“

“Loud but trendy place. Got their goat plate. It was so good! I'm a garbage plate connoisseur and this is a different, elevated take on it. The garlic parm fries and goat cheese make it almost decadent, like something you can't eat too much of at once (which i know is counter-intuitive to the idea of a plate)but very tasty. And the burgers are legit, thick beefy bois. Meat sauce is tasty too. You'll have to add your own mustard if you're into that. $18.50 isn't cheap but it's worth. Only thing I would wish for is that their website allowed for a tipping option, since I don't carry cash.

Oh yeah, I got another plate from them and added caramelized onions and a side of their beer cheese. 10/10“

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

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

“Awesome place“

“Our server was funny! Jim, I believe“

“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!!“

“We had our high school reunion here over the weekend, and everything was fantastic! The food came out right on time, the staff was incredibly friendly, and Chris was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and on the day of the event.

The staff also did a great job keeping everything running smoothly by clearing tables quickly, and the bar line stayed short all night. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend them for any event!“

“Nice and cozy. good service. next time in town I will be back.“

“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!“

“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!“
