Bug Jar is a well-known and artistic bar on Monroe Ave in Rochester, NY. The venue features live music on an eccentric stage, creating a lively and underground atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and the place attracts a diverse and cool crowd. The live music, such as Saphron with JC on lead guitar, is top-notch for only a $10 cover. The experience is loud, crowded, and dark, perfect for those looking for a fun night out. The back of the room is a great spot to enjoy music, and the decor, including furniture on the ceiling and a revolving art collection on the walls, adds to the unique vibe. Parking is available on the street for free or in a paid lot across the street, with a reminder to pay to avoid towing. The Bug Jar has been a staple for over two decades, known as a quasi-hole-in-the-wall punk-rock place with fiberglass flies spinning on fans above the bar. It is a must-visit for music lovers and those seeking a lively night out, with friendly staff and a memorable atmosphere.
