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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We went to Murph's with some friends to take advantage of the Coup De Villes band, a local legendary group, abs they didn't disappoint. Great old time music and dancing. Murph's is a fun sports pub with many tv's, plenty of fun noise, abs abeef we were there the crowd was older. The service was good. I would give my fish and chips a 3.5, which isn't available on the rating. Great crust and most fish. Fun server. Crowded and good. We seat in a booth. Much of the crowd was standing. Music is good for dancing, abs there is a small area available. Definitely a pub to experience!!“

“Excellent food and service.“

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

“I went here last night around 8pm just before the crowd rush. Ordered a simple vodka and Sprite with mozzerella cheese sticks, which were actually bigger than I thought and freshly hot, super delicious. Bar tenders was very nice and attentive, I appreciate their good customer service 👍🏾

Only thing about the atmosphere was the amount of pre-gamed drunk women being extra loud, to the point that nobody could have a conversation nor hear the music. Like, absolutely doing the most extra behavior. I had ear buds in and I still could here them yelling. Its not the bar's fault or anything, I just wish the bartenders had kicked them out cuz even they were getting frustrated but that's just me and I understand a paying customer is a paying customer lol

Otherwise, its a good local bar and I plan on coming back again. Gotta support local businesses and this place is worth going again.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“If i could tell the tales of the time at the Goat it would start with Liz. Let me tell ya about the most fabulous bartender in all of Rochester. A true gem, tucked away on the corner of Goodman and Clinton, the goat is the place to be with the best service in the 585. Food is superb and the vibes immaculate. Visit the Goat, visit Liz. You will be thankful you did. God bless, and Go Bills“

“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“

“Awesome place“

“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!“

“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!“
