Everytime I go to Sal's I wonder why I don't go more often. The service is fast and no BS, the…read moreprices are beyond reasonable, and the vibe is divey but eclectic. Eastman students, art purveyors, kickball teams, and many many more groups have found an alcohol & popcorn filled oasis in Salinger's. I went this past weekend and enjoyed a quieter atmosphere on Friday around 8:30pm. My double vodka soda was $5ish, and my partner and I grabbed a table and settled in. We enjoyed watching folks play games (pool, basketball, skee ball, and many many more all available here), and our beverages before moving on for the evening. The bartenders are used to high volume and take care of everyone at the bar quickly. It can get pretty busy in the later hours of the night, after concerts, and on weekends, but it is always homey feeling and a great way to start or end the night. All of the best things about dive bars come together at Sal's, and I can't wait for my next trip!

Punched in GPS address and headed out. 10 minutes later, right off the main drag in beautiful,Pittsford. Glad I hit Delta Sonic this morning so MON BEBE (my RAV-4) looks great and fits into the Vibe. Plenty of handicap parking, front door 50 feet from parking lot. Walked in on crutches, baby steps, wearing a full fall harness with "flare" patches sewn on. Great Music, 2-3 deep at the bar, bar full of laughing, happy, amazing people! Then about 6 men peeled off from the large group and surronded me, asked why the fall harness, why the crutches? Kept asking questions, then I said, "I was blown up in a backdraft explosion ITLOD" then, more questions....... then I asked, any Military, family friends, sandbox, IEDs? Then the stories flowed of family friends, Vets, Military, love of country. WOW! Then I pulled out PRONEDRIVER.COM cards and explained I was injured ITLOD, as a Vol. FF, since my injury I designed and my gearhead fiends built, 2 PRONE Tractors, 2 Prone Water Crafts, 3rd Prone Motor Vehicle (RAV-4 in parking lot and picture on card). They asked what I wanted to drink, OMG! How nice, I said I just drink Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, 5 seconds later a diet coke was thrust into my hand. I reached for cash and they laughed at me, said I was thier guest. WOW ! Where am I ? Did I crash, am I in Heaven? Wonderful bar, clean, spotless, handsome men and beautiful womem, amazing sound system and amazing choices of songs! I explanded in College I was a Bouncer/Body Gaurd/ Sparing Partner. But I never, ever worked at a bar as amazing as this place ...... THIRSTY'S. Whoever, bought this, built this, owns, this, designed this place is a GENIUS ! I was asked more questions about the cards and PRONEDRIVER. I explained initially everything, the tractors, water craft, Motor Vehicles were just designed by me and my friends/gearheads/Angels built them so I could get around Prone as I was in intense pain and couldn't sit. The, I was approached by Pascal, a Professor at a design College. Said he was tasked by the DOD and VA to build a vehicle for our Injured Military, injured ITLOD by IED explosions, unable to sit in intense pain ...... LIKE ME. OK I gave them all my ergonomic drawing, pictures everything for free. 2 years later Pascal called me and said the design College, DOD and VA had shut down the program. I asked why and was told, MONEY and LIABILITY. I said bad words and then said, WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT ! YOU DON't GIVE UP On our INJURED MILITARY, EVER. AT THAT POINT I TOOK THE LOAD. PRONEDRIVER.COM on Facebook Tom Smurthwaite on Facebook PRONEDRIVER on YouTube 60 second video of me (voice and a face made for radio) 60 second video of Prone Rav-4 and a 60 second video of a beautiful sunset from the Prone pontoon boat 2 miles out. One last thing, for the last 25 years I'd type PRONEDRIVER and PRONEDRIVER.COM into Search Engines, and NOTHING, until last week. NOW ....every Search Engine and my Buddy in England and friends in Europe, yup .... it's everywhere ....... GLOBAL. YIKES Now what I do every day and all night (pain only lets me get 10-20 minute cat naps) I'm up all night curled up in a fetal position,hugging a pillow, and typing on my laptop to, Generals of Commands who were in the sandbox from 2000-2020 and where we lost 4,000 to IEDs and 30,000-40,000 were blown up by IEDs and came home with a variety of injuries. My task to try to get the Pronedriver idea out to them so the 22 a day doesn't get worse. Your Bar, last night was the first bar I've been in, in 34 years. I was instructed by my medical staff to take a night off, listen to music, drink a diet coke and meet people. See I was having problems, the load that I've taken on was getting to me. I was going outside at midnight and saying prayers and asking for help from GOD and Jesus as I had been getting overwhelmed. That is why my medical staff was getting concerned, turn out I need not have worried, YOUR BAR, THIRST'S, my medical staffs directive. I hope you know that THIRST'S is MAJIC and it's filled with ANGELS, staff, patrons, just one after another. Just increadable. You refilled my tank with confidence, inspiration, HOPE and LOVE. I hope you realize that now I'm back on track, back on task. What you bar did last night is causing me to come up with new ideas, new messaging ideas, new ways to reach our injured Military. Your Bar is saving LIVES, thank you, GOD BLESS YOU !

You can even place bets with OTB (off-track betting). We first stopped in just to check it out, and back then they had the menu up on a chalkboard--kinda loved that. But this time, that was gone and we got a menu from the bar. I was hoping for a draft beer, but it wasn't clear if the taps were working, so I went with a few bottles of Labatt's Blue instead. My husband kept it simple with some Diet Cokes (or maybe Pepsi--wasn't totally sure). There was only one bartender holding it down. She took our order, brought out our drinks at the bar, and served up the food. She's a rockstar! That said, since she was solo, finished plates and baskets just kind of piled up at one table. She let us know someone else was coming in at 7 p.m.--it was only 4 p.m. when we were there, so she was clearly in for a long shift. Food-wise, the mozzarella sticks hit the spot, cheeses and a nice breading in them and came with marinara. The wings? Fried hard (not breaded), with medium buffalo sauce. Honestly, they weren't all that saucy and seemed a little overcooked. Next time I'd ask for extra sauce and for them not to overdo it. Not terrible, just not the best I've had. A fun little quirk: if you open a tab, they stash your card in an old-school Rolodex. Just give them your name when you want to close out. Yes you get your card back. Heads-up no Apple or Google Pay here. Would I come back? Yeah, I think I would. They've got a shared parking lot, open daily from noon to 2 a.m. Enjoy! 3.5 -3.75 outta 5

The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.
