Great dive bar that's been around forever. I can't believe I've never been here before but found…read moremyself over in the area on Thursday night and thought why not stop in and watch the Lions game? It wasn't busy which was surprising since it was a Lions home game but it does seem to be a regulars type bar. My friend and I were welcomed and our two bartenders were friendly and attentive. Drink prices were more than reasonable and I'm not sure if they left off a round but the bill seemed pretty low for what we were drinking. We gave a nice tip and will be back to try some of their food items. The menu looked like typical bar food and again the prices were very reasonable. $9 for a burger, etc. They also had daily drink and food specials. One of the regulars said the fish and chips was excellent so that's on the list for next time.

It is still a great local hangout even though the beer prices seemed to have gone up a little, but still very reasonable. One note, it is cash only so remember to bring the greenbacks. But if you are a fan of local dive bars like I am, you will definitely like this spot. This is a pretty simple review, because what you see is what you get.

Timeout is the local spot for people who like to hangout with people. Although it's a casual crowd, feel free to dress to impress and get compliments all night! The service is super quick! Regardless if you are a standard pint drinker or a fruity little cocktail queen the bartender is on it! Always love the random small talk with whoever I'm sitting at the bar with. Typically, a goofy crowd of fun loving people. They do have a small food menu of the classic bar hits. A bar to have an entertaining night out!

Updating my review to reflect how cool this place is. The owner and the bartenders working here are…read moreexceptionally nice. My boyfriend and I came up here on New Year's Eve and made it in a few minutes before the ball dropped. Yvette, the bartender, came over to us gave us hugs and each some champagne to toast the new year. It's a neighborhood, mostly regulars type of bar but everyone is welcoming. Drinks are more than reasonably priced and Yvette makes the best shots. She's come up with some great concoctions. Our favorite is the Payday shot. Taste just like the Payday candy bar. She even sprinkled a little salt on top for the salted flavor. Most small dive bars frown upon making specialty shots or martini type drinks but not this place. Whether you're looking for a beer or a crafted cocktail this is your place.

Good service, good staff, good times. Safe environment, good selection of liquors as well.read more

The Eastman is an absolutely lovely addition to the Rochester scene and quite frankly my favorite…read morespot. While there is a hint of the old time speakeasy in finding the place (it's really not that tricky) walking down the stairs and into the beautiful bar is just absolutely lovely. It's dark, and low lit, and the ambience is chill with a hint of hush hush and just visually so appealing. This level detail isn't just left for the eyes, the drinks here are very well made. Every single one I've had the pleasure of trying has been well balanced, flavorful, and yet somehow appropriately spirit forward. And the barstaff who puts these delectable mixtures together are absolutely well versed, knowledgable, and willing to adjust any of their drinks to your own personal tastes. Of course, the prices run a little higher, but I found them to be typical of what we see, but in this case I think the experience is well worth the cost. You're getting impeccable aesthetics, fantastic service, and wonderful drinks and it's so hard to find places that meet all three anymore. I will absolutely be coming back and highly recommend.

Their menu is a small book of interesting, and priced as such, cocktails. Each has a fun name. They do offer a small list of beer and wine, and obviously you can order a standard drink as well. They have a few snack offerings, but there is no full menu. A friend and I went at the right time, the late end of happy hour on a Friday, but before any crowd. We did not have a reservation, but they were quiet when we arrived and we were seated immediately. They do have a 90 minute table limit for busy nights. The service was fantastic all around. We both enjoyed our drinks and the atmosphere. This may be the best place in Rochester for a drink.

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for more than a decade, and one thing that has…read morealways stood out to me is how much the owner genuinely seems to care about the business. They're constantly upgrading, changing and improving things instead of just letting the place become stale. The food is great, the service is consistently good, and the atmosphere is comfortable, fun and welcoming. There's plenty of seating, they're always introducing something new or finding ways to make the experience better, and you can tell there's real effort being put into the operation. It has that great local-spot feeling while still continuing to evolve year after year. That's something I really appreciate because so many places open, find something that works and then never change. Whenever I'm back in Shelby Township, this is honestly my favorite place to visit. Great food, great atmosphere, good service and ownership that clearly takes pride in the establishment. After all these years, I still look forward to coming back every time.

At one point there were even stag films and a bottomless waitstaff. The drinks are a bit lacking, as to be expected by the atmosphere and there's no longer the same vibe they once offered. Sadly, we saw no food and an incredibly filthy dive bar. The only saving grace was the nice staff and bits of the Pirates of the Caribbean film. 08/25

We walk in and we all show our ID's to the bartender. About 5 minutes goes by and the bartender comes back over to us and explains " the manager called and said some of you look under 21" and that " we must leave immediately"... we thought it was a joke, but it certainly was not. We all left promptly and went to the liquor across the street and played uno at home instead (way better than the salty dog anyway) Totally explains why there was 4 people in there on a Friday Night !!! I hate writing a bad review but id like to prevent anybody else from having this experience ! Go to on the rocks 1/4 mile north of there if you want to have fun / a good time with your friends that enjoy karaoke and actually getting served . Made for a good story and a reason to never go back. Marty if you're reading this, either make a way for your bartender to feel confident reading an ID, or get a scanner to confirm authenticity. Certainly never bringing any friends there for a good time again. Ill give 3 stars to not completely diminish your rating and be favorable towards one bad experience but personally id like to give 1 star for being such a vibe killer and ultimately making me a salty dog
