Amazing cocktails and one of the best burgers on the planet. Order it to share or to devour all on your own.
- Robin ChingFebruary 1, 2013Great atmosphere with old collections/decorations. This's a good place for gathering friends and sharing food. Recommend to make a reservation otherwise you will have to wait for 2 hrs.
Monica CullenMarch 26, 2017This place serves up amazing family style dishes like Dover Sole over butternut squash purée and the Duck--featuring it as breast, sausage and pulled from the bone. I love this place!
Steve SchulerAugust 20, 2014The question isn't what is good here, because EVERYTHING is good here. Cocktail and beverage program is top notch. Food has always been incredible. And the service is the best of them all.- The Beet Salad is worth ordering. When it's delivered to the table, I like to say, "Thanks for laying down those funky beets.".
- While not strictly a cocktail bar, this is one of the best places in Rochester to get a cocktail. The bartenders are willing to try new recipes, and the food is cracking good as well!
This place is awesome. Love the food, family style, fantastic old style drinks, and great atmosphere. If I lived here, I'd be here all the time. #buffalove
stacie colapreteMay 7, 2015Burger is awesome, cocktails are interesting, good wine list, dishes almost always well executed, occasionally changed with seasons- MaryEllen ColemanSeptember 22, 2017Beautiful, fun, relaxing space. Excellent food and wine! Especially liked the pizza and lamb meatballs.
One of my favorite dinner spots. Best burger in town and the red lentils are AMAZING!! Great food, great drink options & great atmosphere!!
Favorite restaurant. Food and service is amazing. The menu changes frequently and everything is always great. The porterhouse steak rocks.
Joy ChuaAugust 10, 2016Can't say enough good things about the Bucatini and the rib eye. They are to die for!
MarkSiwiecNovember 7, 2011Incredible food. Endlessly creative, constantly changing menu that takes advantage of whatever it is that's farm fresh. Great cocktails, too! You can't go wrong....
Try the High And Mighty Cocktail - Templeton Rye,1911Gin,Velvet Falernum, Fee Brothers Orange Bitters, Absinthe (via @Foodspotting)
Michele BovenziAugust 20, 2012The vibe of the restaurant and the decor is so unique and interesting. Plus, the food is delicious and awesome for a date night!
Based on the menu, the ribeye would be the last thing I order, but it should be the first. Better than Tornadoes, better than Prime.
Cocktails, pizza, burger, specials. Everything here is great, and the desserts are exceptional.
Kathryn DApril 23, 2015Excellent food in lively atmosphere. Lentils and gnocchi are top notch for vegetarians.
Excellent atmosphere, yummy cocktails, and to-die-for food. Very affordable for large groups. I recommend making a reservation for dinner, just to be safe.
Kevin WeiseJanuary 26, 2020I was skeptical that the burger might have been overhyped... however it was every bit as amazing as I could have imagined- On Saturday's they usually make gourmet chicken wings as a special, but they tend to run out by 8pm because they are so popular.
AmateurConciergeNovember 10, 2016Good spot. Burger, Bibb lettuce, red lentils were highlights. Skip the pastrami
Brian KaiserJanuary 20, 2016What isn't good here?! Love the cocktails and the interesting flavored in every dish.- @kevinpurdy's tips: the burger (split in 4), the grilled octopus, the sixpoint ale, the salads (in general), the chartreuse plates
- Try the Drunckle Krampus Cocktail - Bottled Appleton Estate Reserve Rum, Mulled Kelly's Cider , clove , orange and allspice (via @Foodspotting)
Kevin PurdyOctober 31, 2011Bit loud at times, but it's a really nice mix of great cocktails, good beer, comfort and modern-style passing dishes, and vegetarian options.
David CarrFebruary 4, 2016Vibrant bar scene, great craft cocktails, decent beer selection, good bartenders.
Madison Levin-EpsteinMay 20, 2014Came here for my brother's college graduation -- highly recommend the fried chicken. Best meal I had in Rochester.- This is one of the best bars in the world, let alone Rochester. The food is some of the best in Rochester as well, try the burger!
Elena KunsevichFebruary 12, 2013The burger is indeed scrumptious! Chocolate cake is just perfect - all the flavor and not so much sugar.
- Try the Glass Hands Cocktail - Mezcal, Maraschino, Dolin Blanc, Citric Acid Tincture (via @Foodspotting)
Always tasty and unique dishes. Bring your own wine on Thursdays, no cork fee!
Michelle MarySeptember 13, 2014OMG the food was so delicious! Sweet corn ice cream was unbelievable.
Bartender made a custom whisky drink, VERY tasty. Worth the wait.
- My favorite spot to eat. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Pleasant staff.
christina dickenFebruary 10, 2010The burgers are to die for and the chocolate cake is amazing. The bigger the group the more fun the dinner. It's all made to share. Read more
