I went here on a whim, because with a lot of different beer options in 4 packs I did not want to…read morebuy something I wouldn't drink. This was a cute tucked away place with decent parking on the water. There were not a lot of people so parking was adequate. It is very open and immediately I enjoyed the ambience. It had a modern cabin in the lake vibe, sans fireplace, with a good laid back music that was loud enough to enjoy but not a conversation crusher. It was too cold to sit outside so I didn't get to enjoy that. The beer had quite the variety including sours, ales, porters, and IPA. They tried some bold flavors and overall I didn't dislike anything, the chocolate cake porter and beard full of sprinkles top 2. Bartender was very friendly and not in your face. My reason for not 5 star was the menu. I didn't try the food to be honest. It was very basic fried pub food which looked decent, but I've started to appreciate the breweries who really crush the food aspect with local flavors or food variety. Speaking of local though the incorporation of abbots custard into their beer made me enjoy their cream ale (not a fan of cream ales in general)

Nice little gem situated on the Erie canal. They used to be on main street in Brockport, a small…read morecollege town but have moved across the street and down the canal a bit. It gave them more deck and indoor space as well as a spot for boats to dock as they motor down the canal. This review doesn't include the food. We stopped here just for a couple of drinks with our God son and his wife up from NC . We each had a couple of beers and everyone seemed very satisfied with their choices. We sat out on the deck which runs along the canal. It has ample room and contains several tables that accommodate seating for four. Nice atmosphere sitting there watching the boat traffic go by and the main street bridge go up and down. They have several tables inside if the weather isn't cooperating to sit outside. Our server was friendly and made sure we were properly taken care of. The menu looked interesting therefore we will come back and try having a lunch or dinner in the future.

Not really sure what happened throughout the years but it didn't go good for the place. Came here…read morewith family from PA and we told them it was a great place for years, however tonight it wasn't. One member wanted Medium Rare steak and got Medium Well. Another wanted Medium and got Medium Rare. Someone else wanted mac salad and got mac&cheese. Someone got a burger and it was blackened! I ordered medium buffalo wings and the sauce didn't taste right at all. Same for the blue cheese/ranch/i don't even know because taste was so off! Plus wings were also overdone. 1hr wait time and I get they were busy - we were chatting during this time as well. Noise volume was ok and not really has changed throughout the years but definitely might need a new chef. Also saw the kitchen violations - should've checked the seating too. One of us almost got hurt due to a broken chair. Someone else had a wobbly chair as well.

What a nice spot near Park Ave in Rochester! Went for brunch before a show at the auditorium…read moretheater. It was easy to make online reservations and they were able to combine my reservation with a friend's so that we could sit together! The interior is very rustic looking, but is kept up nicely. The menu offers a variety of options for everyone! I went with the veggie skillet, which was delicious and fed me for a couple meals. The fresh home fries were crispy and filling! Our waitress was very pleasant and we look forward to coming back again!

My favorites are the Parmesan fries, which are crispy, cheesy, and completely addictive, and the Berry Summer Salad, which is fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, whether you're stopping in for happy hour, appetizers, or just a casual night out. The drinks are great, the service is friendly, and it's the kind of place that's easy to keep coming back to. If you're in Rochester and looking for a great spot for cocktails, shareable appetizers, or a light meal, Bar Bantam is definitely worth checking out. I'll happily be back again and again!

No one ever came back to ask if we wanted more food or drinks or even to get dessert and sing happy birthday.

Great location and vibe the service was just not the best.

I've been to The Dakota three times now, and the experience has been pretty consistent each visit…read more The food is very good, I genuinely have no complaints there and have enjoyed everything I've ordered. The prices are reasonable for what you get, which is definitely a plus. That said, the atmosphere can be a bit loud since the bar is right next to the dining area. It gives more of a lively, social vibe than an intimate one. I also noticed that the staff can come across as having a bit of an attitude both toward customers and sometimes with each other. I wouldn't take it personally, it just seems to be the overall tone there. I would highly recommend it for a fun night out with friends girls' night, boys' night, casual group dinner. But it's not the place I'd choose for a romantic dinner, and if top-tier customer service is a must for you, this may not be your favorite spot. Overall: great food, fair prices, fun vibe just go in knowing what to expect.

They have your Irish staples and its a great place to be on St Patricks Day but im not familiar with Lobster boats off the Irish coast but this lobster roll was FANTASTIC. The portion size is bursting off the roll, theres not Too much mayo to let the lobster sing, the corn makes you want more , and cole slaw wont let you down . Their booths have great acoustics so you can actually hear your dinner company. This is the perfect place this summer to bring friends or family from out of town!
