The Richmond by Mortalis Brewing

Came here for a birthday celebration and it was amazing! There was a misunderstanding with how I wanted the tables to be set up but the staff (Paige) quickly moved our party over so that we had the upstairs bar area to ourselves. The space was perfect for mingling & taking fun pictures. We also were able to step into the upstairs rooftop lounge and that was amazing! It’s very spacious and there was so much room for everyone and other patrons who wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather & views. The food & drinks were delicious as well! We were also allowed to bring a cake! I highly recommend the Richmond for smaller or large gatherings.

Great food, great beer. Friendly service. Wings were perfect.

this is definitely my favorite bar. food is great. atmosphere is great. i’m not a fan of beers but i love the fruited sours by Mortalis. the staff really cares about providing a great experience.

Food was really good. Vibes and music was super chill. Service was real friendly and quick. Beers were AMAZING! Hydra bunyip and black currant were super duper good. We loved!

This place has gone down hill. The food is not what it once was. The wings are soggy and recipes have changed. Our waitress seemed to have an issue serving us. We somehow rubbed her the wrong way by asking for more water and checking on the status of our food. Just a weird vibe. I give it two stars because they have a good selection of brews. Probably won’t be returning or recommending anymore though.

Great spot with excellent food and drinks. It's not pretentious and is a fantastic straight forward food spot. The brick oven pizza was cooked perfectly which seems to not happen around here a lot. Wings were excellent with the Richmond sauce and the service from Paige was awesome. Our second time here and will definitely be back.

There is nothing worse than standing at a busy bar and watching a bartender repeatedly help every man around you. Sees you standing there with no drink in hand yet helps people with drinks in front of them.
That was my experience last night at Richmond’s on 3/12/25. It would be great if the male bartender could try to smile or be personable

Nice classy place with really good drinks and the staff is super nice

Amazing food and drinks

The place is cool, drinks are great, food menu is very limited but the food was very good. The service was absolutely awful. Just awful. 3 out of 4 meals came at the same time. The 4 th when we were halfway done. We ordered drink refills that took til after we wee done eating to come. Our server left ys with no water, no drinks the whole meal. Never came back, didn't even come over when we waved at him. Had to get our check from the bartender. They didn't clear our plates. Just terrible.

Tonight’s fare started with the house salad with the pickled onions and pesto dressing it was delicious. Next up was the chicken sandwich with seasoned fries. Nice and crispy the pickles tasted like homemade. I’m not a sour beer fan but tonight the sours were like dessert. A must try.

OMG! Stopped for a Bills game and was absolutely blown away. The new decor and atmosphere gives a fancy feel with the warmth and community of a sports bar. The new Bills flags in the window are such a cute touch. After renovations everything has so much more personality, warmth, and you can tell so much thought and love went into every detail.

With the dough boyz leaving, I worried about how the food would be but WOW! I was absolutely blown away. The wings were absolutely fantastic and the parm fries were out of this world! I cannot wait to come back and try the other flavors of wings. They paired amazingly with the Mortalis Gemini.

The servers and staff were so kind and welcoming. I’m excited for my next visit. I may end up becoming a regular. Go Bills!?

Great atmosphere. Very good food!

New menu. Party of five people having different items. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fresh hand cut fries. The brioche bun is tasty and the sauce on the fried chicken thigh was very good. The fried pickles are thinly sliced giving a crispy texture. The chicken poppers are craggy and crunchy. Others in my party had the pasta flight which they said they enjoyed. Great menu in a fresh contemporary space.

Cocktail menu, Great! Vibes/decor, great! Service, eh. Food 0/10. I haven't had a bad meal in downtown Rochester since before covid, and i eat out downtown weekly. I got the hot wings and Richmond wings. Both wings were made in separate batches. They were dry and chewy. I cook wings at home and honestly, it is challanging to make great wings and even harder to make bad wings. The steak +chimi churri sandwich I chose had severely burnt flatbread and medium rare steak. The steak could have been great but was cut with the grain making the whole burnt sandwich chewy. I also sampled the arinchini which was fried far too long and had a chewy crust. The whole experience seems like a fluke considering the overall great ratings... maybe just a bad cook at the moment??? As i watched from the bar, she looked overwhelmed and made a face of disgust as she plated up the food she prepared. Hope this review helps to get your buisness back on track!
