Bobby Base is one of the best DJs in town and on Thursday he plays the best salsa, merengue, and bachata for your listening and dancing pleasure. The atmosphere is festive and welcoming with good vibes. Tommy Labue, the owner, also has special events on the weekends from time to time and the venue can be booked for a special event too. If you're looking for a salsa night on Thursdays this is the place to go!!!

I am surprised to see no one has written a review for this little gem in town. It is not in the…read morebest of locations, but a fantastic little get-away, with latin music, dance floor and a bar. They do have drink specials and salsa dance lessons for free on Thursdays. I used to be a frequent dancer, but have not been here for quite some time now. However, I recommend the place highly. The Cafe will help you organize your office parties - I have sponsored a few parties (grad school and office parties) at the Flat, and it turned out to be a blast.

Will be telling everyone not to go here

Anthology is music venue that has a history of hosting a wide range of musical acts, from indie…read morebands to metal legends. It initially opened in September 2015, closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reopened by new management company, SCN Hospitalty. The venue is known for its capacity of around 1,000 people and its ability to accommodate diverse musical genres. Recently went to my first concert here. Nice space, nicely decorated up top. Great sound quality, lighting was great. However, I'd probably never come here again during the summer months. It was 96 degrees outside, this is an indoor venue, it was a sold out show of over 700 people, and there is no A/C in the venue. People were absolutely miserable, I watched multiple people leave the show early because they passed out or were having some other medical issue from the intense heat. It was difficult to even breathe during the event. 3 bands went on stage and every one of them mentioned how ridiculously hot it was. How this is even allowed and not a health risk is crazy to me. Wasn't enough bar staff to keep up with the amount of people, especially cause everyone wanted/needed water, merch stands were set up in spots that made it even more difficult to move around the space. Just poorly set up. Only a few tables and chairs, so people who were having issues with the heat either needed to go downstairs to where the bathrooms were or leave the venue just to get some relief. It's too bad cause it really is a nice venue, but there's no way I'd go again during the warm months.

This is an awesome indoor music venue and probably the nicest one in Rochester. I love the look and…read morefeel of the venue. There are some tables in the bar area and less crowded standing room with TVs showing the stage if you dont want to be in the main stage area. The main floor has some limited seating on bleachers on either side which is a nice touch. I also like that there is a coat check downstairs by the bathrooms for no additional cost (with a tip jar). The capacity is probably around 1000 people. However, as much as I enjoy my time here whenever I come, I do have some legitimate concerns. This is a very warm venue with seemingly no central air and minimal ventilation, so it gets hot quickly and I can't imagine how much worse it must feel in the summer. There is a small gated area you can access outside for some freah air if there is space. I also have observed security staff turning a blind eye to issues and accepting bribes from patrons, so concert safety could absolutely be improved at this venue.

This place markets itself as an "18+ nightclub," but that's about the only honest thing in the…read moredescription. The music was painfully loud yet somehow still bad, the drinks were wildly overpriced and watered down, and the crowd felt more chaotic than fun. Security acted like they were annoyed customers even existed, and the bartenders clearly prioritized speed over basic courtesy or accuracy. The vibe was off from the moment we walked in: sticky floors, cramped space, and an overall feeling that no one in charge actually cares about the experience. It felt less like a nightclub and more like a poorly supervised house party with a cover charge. If you're looking for a fun night out in the city, there are far better options. This place isn't worth the money, the wait, or the headache afterward.

To make matters worse, they nickel and dime you all night. Vinyl has a cover, a paid coat check, and bathroom attendants who demand tips. I'm a good tipper. I always have been. So I decided to save my tip for the end of the night. But as soon as I leave the bathroom, the attendant hands me a paper towel (what a load off my mind!) and points to the tip jar asking for "a little love." Really? Here, have a dollar.

The Owner Jazz offers great customer service, stays cool with his clientele. Where front door people sometimes get a bad rap, Front doorman Peter is very nice and friendly. Nice Clean washrooms.

New DJ on Saturday which is a great improvement. I like what they are doing here. Just a nice place to go. Make a good night out of everytime you go out. Enjoy!

Lol since we were celebrating my birthday decided to splurge for the bottle service. We got a 26oz bottle of absolute vodka, the bottle comes with the booth, server and unlimited mixes. Taxes and gratitude included it was 230.00 ($31.00 gratitude a little steep) for a party of 5 there was no cover due to the bottle service. The demographics of the club are older 40ish, our group is in our early 30s. The music was a combination of hip hop/ R&B/ Top Forty Hits/ some 80s & 90s. We had a great time dancing, and I would highly encourage the almost 30 something's crowd to just give it a try! It was fun, not too crowded everyone kinda sticks to themselves and has a good time. Overall I would definitely return, the icing on my birthday cake was the complimentary champagne we were given to CHEERS my birthday.
