My first time at The Tap House West End…read more I'll start off by saying our sever Anna was excellent. She was pleasant and very attentive. She never left us waiting for food or beverages and I know she was very busy. The restaurant is also nice. Clean, nicely decorated, nice patio, etc. This review is based on the food. There were three of us. For an appetizer we ordered the fried pickles. They were fine but a little greasy. We all ordered burgers the Chicken Pablano Soup. The soup could have been more tasty but because it was served warm instead of hot, it really took away from the flavor. Secondly, we each ordered burgers. Now, for a restaurant that had a huge selection of specialty burgers in their menu. You would think that the burgers would be quite special. My husband ordered his burger medium rare. It came out well done. I ordered my burger medium, it came out well done, Our guest did not preference the level on their burger, it came out well done. Not only did the burgers come out well done but they were hard with no flavor. The buns were also stale and hard. My burger was supposed to come with thousand island dressing and it came dry. We ordered a flight of beer to share. This was fun and tasty. I nice sized flight that we could actually share. Unfortunately, the burgers were not a good choice. Perhaps we come back and try something different one day and give it another try.

They are on a 5 barrel system from Portland Kettle Works which allows for both experimentation and some staple beers. Beertender choice in my flight was the Hugs & Kisses Fruited Wheat Ale - which I won't complain about. Thesis Pieces: A Blonde Ale brewed with Peanut Butter and has an addition of Lactose. Light bodied, which you don't see for a peanut beer very often. Doughy malt and a nutty flavor go hand in hand balanced by a sweetness from the lactose. A PB beer you can drink even in the hottest weather! Toasty-Weizen A German Hefeweizen conditioned on freshly toasted coconut. Similar to my other choices, light bodied packed with flavor. Traditional banana and clove Hefeweizen flavors are balanced by a medium toasted coconut flavor that doesn't take over the Hefe aromas / flavors.  Bangers Only: A Cold IPA dry hopped with Rakau, Vic Secret, and Wakatu hops. A lighter bodied IPA and brilliantly clear. Medium-high bitterness with a melon / lemon zest flavor on finish. Hugs and Kisses: A Fruited Wheat Ale that the beertender chose as my fourth beer in my flight. Notes of guava, tangerine, and blood orange. Medium body with just a hint of acidity, but mostly on the fruity side. Enjoyable on the patio! _____________________

The boxes that the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese With Beef Brisket, Caesar Salad and French Fries were…read moresent in, were all filled to the top. This was enough food for 2 adults who like to eat! For the price and the quantity, I expected it might have been lower quality but everything lookedCaesar Salad amazing. It tasted even better! Especially the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese. It is creamy and comforting with a wonderful contrasting finishing crumb. Then we got beef on top which added a sweet filling protein. I also felt good after eating. I did not feel bloated, even though I ate until I was full. That is a sign of fresh and healthy ingredients. I would come back to try more of the menu at any time!

We stopped in for Forager while visiting Rochester…read more Our server Emily was very friendly and attentive. She never left us waiting for service and offered some great suggestions on the menu. While we know this is a brewery, they also serve batch cocktails, instead of a full bar. We started with their version of an old fashioned, which wasn't our first choice but they were actually tasty albeit a bit sweet. Since the weather was below 0, I craved something hot and comforting. I ordered the Beef Stroganoff which was tasty. Included braised local beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, parmesan, cream sauce, dill, house-made fettuccini, topped with sour cream. The sauce was light so you didn't feel like it weighed you down. My husband ordered the birria tacos. Beef brisket, white onions, mozzarella, cilantro, corn tortilla, green salsa, beef broth, lime Although they were tasty, they were quite greasy. Prices were reasonable. I would come back again and try the pizza.

That's a risk, given that the Mayo Clinic is the primary reason anyone is in Rochester, Minnesota. With all the ailments on display in the city, a visitor pushing that bookcase could drop dead on the spot, and the lawsuit would put Bitter and Pour out of business. I almost broke the damn thing pushing and pulling. Bitter and Pour has all top-shelf liquor, and their cocktail list sounds fascinating. The mixologists are well-trained. Our bartenders on a Wednesday afternoon in September were professional, but they lacked the warmth I encountered everywhere else in this city. Our drinks were great, though, and B & P must be the best cocktail lounge in Rochester. I wish they served some small bites, but that's not their thing.

We walked down the staircase and were greeted with a bookcase... gotta love a mystery door! Upon entering there's an intimate bar area with the perfect dimly lit room to indulge in an elevated cocktail. They have an impressive menu of delicious combinations and if you want a combination of two drinks or a custom creation the bartender definitely knows what their doing and was more than happy to meet the request with their interpretation of a drink. I had you had me at hello. Whiskey and cherry liquor paired lovely together and apricot, lemon plus being milkwashed delivered a perfect sweet but not overpowering clean, smooth drink. My friends loved this place it was the first time for all three of them! Cant wait to come back again. The staff was super friendly and helpful too!
