I agree with Lori C. - unless you are a regular don't bother. We waited almost 40 minutes for food while watching other tables - beer drinking tables - being served. We got drinks right away - but once the waitress took our order we didn't see her again until she delivered the check. After waiting so long for food I complained to the owner. He was rude and just made excuses - not my problem the kitchen was behind and you only had one waitress on. When we finally got our dinner it was just .. fair. My dinner was tepid but was served on a hot plate. Maybe if you are a beer drink with low expectations you would enjoy this place. But if you don't drink and are looking for a meal - don't bother. Plenty of other family owned restaurants that would love to have and treat you well. read more

Romig's Tavern Experience... I had the taste for some wings this afternoon so The Queen and I decided to go to Romig's Tavern to try their wings. We go in and seat ourselves on the restaurant side. The server comes over and begins to take our orders. Lakisha orders 10 wings and asks for all flats and a coke. The server tells her it would be $1 extra for all flats and we say ok. I ordered 10 wings and a ginger ale. While we waited for our orders, I drank my ginger ale. The server comes over and asked if I wanted a refill and I said yes. Then she says there are no free refills on the soda. I said, "Oh in that case I'll have a water with a lemon.", which she brings shortly afterward. Then the food comes out. I noticed that Lakisha had all flats like she asked for but I had all drums. When the server came back to check on us, I told her that it looked like I got all of my wife's drums and politely asked if we still had to pay the $1 fee for Lakisha's all flats. The server said she would check. Shortly afterward a large balding white guy comes to our table. He doesn't introduce himself. He says " What seems to be the problem back here?" I responded by saying there was no problem and explained that it appeared I received all my wife's drums and I wanted to know if we still had to pay the extra $1. He said yes and then went on to explain that Lakisha ordered all flats and that's what she got. It wasn't guaranteed which side of the wings I was going to get because they just put all the wings in a bucket and whatever they pull out is what you get. I wasn't really satisfied with his answer but I said. "Ok." Here is where situation escalates. He then says, "Oh yeah, there are no free refills." (In my mind I was like that came out of no where.) I said to him that I didn't ask for a free refill. He says the server said that I said something about free refills. I then explained to him that I didn't ask for a free refill and that the server had told us about the refill policy and I ordered water instead. (By this time he was nasty with his attitude.) He says, "Well she said you said something about it so I'm just telling that there's no free refills." So I said to him again, "I didn't ask for a free refill. Now do me a favor and walk away from our table so we can eat our food." He says, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm the owner and this is my place." Then Lakisha says, "We're just gonna pay for our food and leave." I told her we weren't paying for anything. He then says, "I would rather you not pay. You didn't eat. Just leave my place." As we walked out he says, "You people always trying to get over." It was only the hand of God that wouldn't allow my cocked fist not to swing. We left without further incident. I don't recommend anyone go to this place... Please Share. read more

Chicken wings are phenomenal, and the beer is cold & cheap! We love Romig's. They also have some of the best French onion soup I've ever had

This place is awesome! Its not you typical restaurant with half service. The owners and staff are genuinely happy that you are there and it shows. the food is delicious and the environment very relaxing - even when they are busy, which shows they doa great job, wait times move quick and you can always get a great beer or cocktail. I'm not sure what restaurant the previous reviewer went to but its not the Romig's we've been coming to for years! Definitely 5 star for their segment!!! read more

Drinks were good, food was assume, the only problem i saw was a lack of servers , They had one server tending to about 60 people , not effective, not the servers fault but managements fault, The one server we had did not smile and was not appreciable, no wonder , she was over whelmed. Again i do not blame the server , but the management. read more

Talk about being pleasantly surprised! I have gone past this place dozens of times and never thought to go in. I checked them out on FB and saw that they do a cookout on Thursdays. We went there to watch some college hoops. The drink menu/deals were stupendous. The food was great and reasonably priced. I was stuffed and buzzed walking out the door. My wife got a garbage plate, and she said it was the best she had in Rochester. read more

Romig's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Rochester, New York

This bar was fine. Really the only way to describe it. The food was decent, drinks were cheap and service was good. Nothing over the top though. It is pretty much just a dive bar. It was busy, seemed like it had a lot of regulars with young women staff. I would go back. read more

Always packed and the owners are always on site. Very cost effective drinks especially the beer. $3 for a 16oz Rohrbach scotch ale. Food is also a great deal and top quality. Not just "bar food" but you can get a decent meal for $10-$15. My wife likes the half rack of ribs plus a half roasted chicken for under $20 read more

$5 pitchers of beer.... Except the cheap stuff, that's $4. They make a deep fried garbage plate. Really. Do not ride that ride if you have a heart condition, otherwise enjoy heaven! The burgers are awesome the wings are awesome, everything is awesome read more

Cheapest craft beer pitchers anywhere. $5 pitchers Weds., BOGO Tues. w/ $1.50 tacos, $.50 wings Monday 4-12 and Weds. 9-12 The food is great for a bar and the owners keep prices as low as they can. Summer has a Thursday cookout and an outside patio. Plenty of screens for games. Wifi. Servers and bartenders are awesome. You can even reserve a private room if you have enough people - free of charge. read more

Stopped in today . Got a burger. Nothing special didn't blow me away but was good. I will say the salad my friend got looked great. Not your average bar salad this one was made with care. You could tell it was made to reflect the amount you usually pay for a salad at most restaurants. Lots of beer to chose from which is great but when they don't have the first two you ask for leaves you a bit disappointed. Will definitely give it another shot. read more

Stay Away if you believe in our National Guard. A close friend had this experience last night. This place used to be know for their respect of the military. Apparently the new owner has a different opinion!! So we go there tonight to have dinner and a few drinks. My husband hands the waitress his military ID, which then she goes to show the owner to make sure it's real and then the owner comes over and pretty much calls my husband a pussy for not being active duty military. And "only active duty is 2 for 1 not people in the National Guard" real military is active duty he says. Little do you know that he was active duty and has probably seen more action then he ever did. 2 deployments and you're calling him not a real soldier. You should be ashamed of yourself. Who helped the greece residents when they were flodding this spring??? Oh, the Guard did!!! My husband has fought in every conflict overseas since the war started. You should really go check yourself! He has done more in the National Guard then he ever did when he was active duty! And where is your brotherhood??? You are a veteran yourself and treat other veterans like a piece of trash. Don't call on the New York National Guard if you ever need help that's all I'm saying. My husband is a Veteran and should've been treated like every other veteran that comes in there. You are a sad excuse of a Veteran! read more

Really great place to relax and enjoy a couple beers, AND a delicious meal. I loved their Fish Fry dish, and their good service.

Great food great drinks prices and friendly Proprietors. It's a nice place to stop into for a few drinks and a bite to eat nice Hometown feel do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

The best dive bar you'll ever go to. Super cheap beer prices. I mean come on, where else can you get a selection of pitchers for under $12?! And $5 pitchers on Tuesdays. If you're looking for a chill spot with cheap alcohol and good food this is the place to be! read more

This is the second year Bill and Mike generously donated t-shirts for the stroll for strong kids 5k and walk. Romig's is not only a wonderful place to eat, drink, and socialize, but they're all about family and helping out great causes. They care about their patrons and their community. If you haven't stopped in to romigs, you need to! Plus, they have the Best wings in Monroe county! read more

We have come to this spot a couple of times over the past few months and generally it's not half bad, but...So we arrived to have dinner and a couple of brews and were asked to sit at a table that seated 8, we were only 4 1/2 the half being my grandson who needed a booster chair...I thought it was strange to have us sit there since there was at least two other tables that seated 4 available but we sat...After what seemed like 10 minutes a waitress asked what we wanted to drink and took our order and disappeared...About 5 to 10 minutes later the guy who sat us down, asked if we could please move to a table for four, the same guy who sat us down in the first place...So we picked up our jackets, the booster chair and headed through the dinning area as people looked at us like we tried to take a table that sat 8...Uncomfortable glances for sure...Then after about 20 minutes we were once again asked what we wanted to drink and were told the waitress would be RIGHT over, well that was yet another 10-15 minutes...So we have been there over 45 minutes and have been relocated and have yet to have a drink or order our food...Grant it the night seemed busy enough but hot damn what a pain in the backside the whole experience was...The food was okay as any pub, but the rest was too much BS... read more

We had a very terrible experience here last night. We were treated the worst we have ever been. First off my husband hands the server his Military ID which you take to your owner, he then comes over to him and very disrespectfully says oh only National Guard, only active duty is 2 for 1, we all know the real military is active duty. Totally degrading him. Little did he know my husband was active duty and has fought in every conflict overseas. He has done more for the Army National Guard then he ever did as active duty. I couldn't believe how rude he was being to my husband, a Veteran. This owner being ex military himself (so he says) should know better. We will never return there. My husband is a Veteran and should've been treated like one!!! Awful, just awful. The worst he has ever been treated. read more

Watch out for the 7 foot Wildabeast who stomps on your feet when you're blocking the aisle (by accident!) oh! And you better staple your ID to your forehead or be prepared to be rudely ID'd 17 times! read more

Had my daughter's 30th surprise birthday party here on a busy football sunday....Sunday 10-21, IT TURNED OUT EXCELLENT!!! Our server Mark was the best at taking care of us! I had nothing to think about, he handled everything before I could even think of it, he ran for us non stop, we never had to wait for drinks and he was always checking on everyone. He is the best at what he does! Ask for him if you go there. The owner Billy was also fantastic, from the minute I walked in to decorate, to him bringing out the birthday cake! He was also attentive and had all our food out on time, tables set up for us and everything was HOT and tasted great! He was a perfect host. There isn't a thing I would have done differently there, this place was awesome....I HIGHLY recommend having your next get together there. Good old fashion service, great drink & food prices, making sure their customers needs are met and exceeded. All my guest raved about the room, food and drinks...yep 5 stars cuz 10 isn't an option on here otherwise I'd give 20!! read more

I have eaten here several times , however lately the food is under par and service was horrible The owner Bill seems to care about the Customers but I can't say the same for the other brother We had to send back our food 2 times and we let the other Owner Mike know but that did nothing Sure the beer is cheap but it's also warm. I'm done going there after 2o years. It's a shame that they care so little about Customer service read more

The owner is a jerk and demands that you buy food or order drinks otherwise your kicked out. Was there 5 mins and the owner was questioning me on buying stuff and bothering me because I was at a bigger table and didn't have enough ppl to fill it.I'm also part of the raider nation group and paid back in April and he didn't care still told me to get out of his bar. And told me it doesn't work like that. I will never step foot in that shitty bar again nor will i join the raider nation Rochester group because of him!!! read more

Excellent food and great prices. A well kept secret or a west side standard for many years!

Been around for a very long time for a reason. Great food, drinks, and the owners are awesome! They won't break your bank either. Definitely a place for a good time without drama or bull read more

Great food at cheap prices! Awesome beer selection and cheap pitchers! Love going to meet friends to play pool or darts. Did I mention cheap pitchers? Seriously, this place is the best place in the area for good, cheap bar food and drinks. read more

Romig's Tavern is always my first choice. Tonight i was playing pool. Some guy i didn't know got very disrespectful. I went up to the bar told the owner me and my friends were leaving because we didn't want to start problems and he made sure to get to the bottom of everything and took care of us. I've never had such good customer service. We didn't even ask for him to go above and beyond and he did. This bar should deff be ur first choice read more

I have been there at least 6 or 7 times for dinner and each time was excellent the bar food is terrific and hamburgs excellent we had the Friday fish fry which is incredible and great portions also we had haddock French which was absolutely terrific I would recommend them highly the owners are very nice people and always ask how everything is also if you are a first responder it's 2 for 1 at the bar they treat us wonderfully read more

Best bar food of anyplace in rochester! Chicken wings are outstanding. I would give them 5 stars if they would update the looks inside and out. read more

The place and food have been on a steady decline. Please do not let the cheap beer prices fool you. A chicken sandwich at Romig's is in the $11 range. It will be the tiniest paper thin breast charred to a cinder that you will ever see. Just to put it perspective, it is more expensive than 80% of the items on Dominic's lunch menu that typically include a side item like fries, soup, or salad. Once you cross the tracks, just keep driving you will thank me later. read more

This a place that unless you are an old neighborhood regular, don't go! So I have gone there often over the last 10 years. Never expected more from it then what it is, a cheap little beer joint with ok cheap beer joint food. Well, they sold about 2 years ago and the new owner has ruined it! He cares zero about his custo.ers, unless it is his friends, and he buys the cheapest crap and then on top of that raised the prices! On our most recent, and last vist, we were unhappy with some of the food. He basically yelled at us and told us we were a minority and he would take it off the bill...but don't eat it!!! I will never go back and if his waitress knew the menu when we asked questions wouldn't have ordered that crap anyway! DO NOT EAT THERE! WE GOT SICK WHEN WE LEFT!! WOW! read more

Used to be such a legend. A favorite place to stop with friends. New owners only care about the almighty buck. No more sense of friendship or customer service at the bar. Warm, sucky pitchers of beer. Such a shame. Used to be a legacy and now we will never go back. Blame the new owners. Don't know how to run a business. read more

NEVER GO TO ROMIGS TAVERN! I went there with my oldest daughter for mother/daughter time for their .50 cent wing night and waited over an hour for wings, the waitress kept ignoring us all night but would go to every table except ours to ask them if they are okay or need anything. I didn't get asked one single time if I needed a refill and I was there for an hour and 20 minutes. At the end I was waiting for the lady to come to our table because she seen that we were done with our food to give us our receipt which she never came so I started heading towards the front and she asks us if we want our bill I told her how I felt about her ignoring us practically the whole night and she asks with attitude of I wanted to speak to the owner and he asks me"what is my problem?" I tell him about how long we waited for our small order of wings and how the waitress treated us all night he started giving me attitude. I told him my daughter was my witness to how she treated us. He has the nerve to ask me if this was a CRIMINAL case that we need witnesses for... THEN HE TELLS ME WHILE I'M WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD THAT HE DOESN'T NEED ME THERE AND THAT TO NOT WORRY ABOUT MY BILL BECAUSE I WON'T FIND .50 CENT WINGS ANYWHERE ELSE AND TO NEVER COME BACK! THE NERVE OF ROMIGS OWNER! DEFINITELY NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY PLACE AND THEY HAVE CRAPPY FOOD AND EVEN WORSE SERVICE! Please share!!!!!!!! read more

Awesome joint can't beat the food, service and beer selection and price. I will tell everyone I know. Give this place a shot and you won't be disappointed. read more

Looking for a Saturday night dinner destination, we decided to give Romig's a go. (Using Yelp's recommendation of course) We were not disappointed. Four of us were all delighted with our decision. Our waitress (Maria) was prompt, answered all our questions, offered suggestions, and checked in for drink refills on cue. The food was prepared and served surprisingly quick considering the crowd. Three of us ordered different variations of grilled chicken sandwiches. Although my wife thought her's was slightly overdone, two of us thoroughly enjoyed ours. Our fourth ordered a meatball sub that he said was the best he ever had. Our two pitchers of beer cost less than our wives' two glasses of wine. The lesson here is " when at Romig's ... order beer!" read more

Went in for a fish fry on Good Friday and they were out! That is like running out of beer on St. Patrick's Day!!!! So I ended up eating a order of fried shrimp. The owner seemed condescending towards customers and snobby. Beer prices are cheap but the only way I would come back is I would not have to see the owner.... read more

Whoops ! Not enough stars to pick from here. 10 would work for me and my wife. I am a National Guard vet who was activated twice and have never been given anything but high respect from the owners. If there is a policy of 2 for 1 for full time active duty vets that is simply a policy and a generous one at that when so many specials exist to begin with. Ladies night, Tues- $ 5.00 pitchers, Weds 2 for 1, Friday- some $ 5.00 pitchers ! Thurs night- fabulous dinner specials by far priced lower than other taverns ! ' Buy a shirt, get a free pint " ! The generosity of this place ( i.e., the owners) is unheard of in this world of greed we live in. I appreciate the fact that we must be respectful to each other on differences of opinion ( policy or otherwise ) but this tavern is beyond fantastic in so many ways. Ps: the staff works very hard to serve tables and with consistent respect to patrons recognizing that some nights are very busy for the reasons I have raised above. Case closed ! Magnificent is the word for Romigs. read more

Look boys and girls, Romig's is a 'neighborhood bar' on the west side of town. It's 60+ years old. The place is 'rustic' and caters to 'salt of the earth' type of crowd - get over it. You're not going to get cooties. Every restaurant serves a bad meal once in a while and in 40+ years I can count on 1 hand the number of bad meals I've had at Romig's. I have been eating and drinking in Romig's since before I could legally buy beer... I have since moved up in life, but I still go back to Romig's at least once a month. Not for the rustic atmosphere or the cheap drinks ($5 pitchers of Rohrbach's Scotch Ale!)... I go back because they have great food. Make no mistake, it's not a Five Star menu, but it's is a step up from the usual bar food. I consider the steak sandwich "The Best Steak Sandwich" in Western NY. There, you heard it here. They have other things that are fantastic also... and they have the best 'meat hotsauce' I've ever had - and I've had them all. And for you, who can't sit in a rustic bar, they also own Bennington's (sit down) 'Restaurant' on the other end of the building. You can eat off of a menu or even get Romig's bar food served over there. read more
