Great local dive, and even better when there's a band.

I discovered the place because a band I love was playing there. I live 5 hrs away and always worth the trip when a band I like comes by.

Been going here for over two decades. A quasi-hole-in-the-wall-punk-rock establishment that's been going since at least 1998 when I first went back in my college days. A revolving art collection on the walls, large fiberglass flies spinning around on the fans over the bar. It's one of those places you gotta go to at least once in Rochester just to say you went. Best is when you see a metal show there and bump into some local legends that are known worldwide.

Bug Jar is quickly becoming my favorite place to both perform and go see live music. Bobby, Todd, Harley and everyone else there have all been amazing to me and my bandmates, and they routinely punch above their weight with the bands they are able to get in there. I LOVE the Bug Jar, and can't wait to get back there!
