To be frank with you I pass this place all the time and had no idea it was Rochester's oldest…read morerunning private club. I went here for a luncheon a group of us were invited by members of this esteemed club. They have private parking and a valet a plus. It's light and bright and pretty old school, they have a bartender, nice staff and good food. It was all done up for Christmas as this was the time I went. I believe to become a member you have to be sponsored to join basically like any private club. If asked to join you have "basically arrived" I don't doubt they have other events, like a wedding, prom and other parties as long as your sponsored by a member this is my thought. Hopefully I will go back for other events if I am invited. Stay tuned.. if your invited go it's old school in a good way. Cheers

A friend and I were invited to an event at this private club, and it was a wonderful experience…read more Established in 1885, this is one of those places you either know about or you don't a hidden gem in downtown Rochester. Seriously I e driven past many times and never went in. The grounds are truly special, with magnificent mature trees and a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city, despite its urban location. The clubhouse itself is elegant and inviting, featuring soft colors and beautiful spaces that can accommodate a variety of events. Like most private clubs, hosting an event here would likely require sponsorship from a member. The venue offers ample space for weddings, luncheons, celebrations, and other gatherings. There are lovely outdoor areas, as well as an outdoor pool and, I believe, tennis and pickleball courts. The staff was professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The food was delicious and well prepared. Another plus is the convenient on-site parking. Overall, this is a beautiful and unique venue that offers a tranquil setting for special events and gatherings.

My wife and I joined the Valley Club recently to expand our social network and also for our small…read morechildren to participate in more activities. So far we like what the club has to offer. Our 3 year old has picked up some tennis lessons and we have attended a few brunches (Santa) and happy hours. I foresee us using the Club to entertain out-of-towners and for dinner on special occasions. I will all try to pick up paddle or pickleball at some point. I imagine it's also a good place to network for business (not for me) and to meet people you wouldn't necessarily meet in your existing network.

They have the show in a big room off to the side. It only seats about 80 people or so. Very intimate setting but comfortable. There's a coat "room" so no need to hang your coat on your chair. They also offer a free glass of champagne with a VIP ticket purchase, but a cash bar is also available. Pleasantly surprised and had a great time at the show. Will definitely go back.

Parking is always a pain in this part of town but there's a medium sized lot behind the Strathallan across the street.

I've been a loyal customer at this establishment for nearly 20 years and never expected to…read moreexperience what I did. For years, I had no issues--until one of the security guards, an older light-skinned man with dreadlocks who has worked there forever, began targeting me for no reason. On multiple occasions he acted aggressive and confrontational toward me, even though I never raised my voice or reacted negatively. The last incident was the worst. He disrespected me in a way no customer should ever experience, threatened to "f** me up,"* and had me banned despite the fact that I never did anything to him. His hostility seems to stem from the fact that he doesn't like someone I happen to associate with--someone who also never disrespected him. What makes this even more concerning is that the owner appears to allow this type of behavior. I've seen this guard act out for years, and instead of correcting it, it feels like it's been encouraged. Many people I know have had negative experiences at this bar, and some have even lost their lives due to the environment created when drug activity is allowed inside. I've spent thousands of dollars here over the last 17 years, and never have I been disrespected the way I was by someone who is supposed to ensure customer safety. I considered speaking to the owner directly, but based on what I've witnessed, I truly believe she condones this behavior from her staff. After nearly two decades of loyalty, I can confidently say I will never return.

Rebecca the Cheese monger, from Hart's grocery, served NY State cheeses and local craft beer and made everybody feel educated on how fun it can be to serve cheese, on boards with dried or fresh fruit charcuterie, nuts and more alongside adult beverages for appetizers or as part of a cheese course. There were a wide range of people in attendance. I love seeing locals come back to the Rochester area and renovate historical properties and rebuild areas that have been part of Rochester's unique history. I wish parking was a bit better, but if you are lucky you can catch a spot on Main street or one of the side roads. Fun times. I wish I could do half points as this would get a 4.5 as a fun place to put together a small gathering near the Susan B. Anthony house.
