Becca is hands-down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had. Friendly, fast, and incredibly attentive, she makes everyone feel welcome while delivering great drinks every time. She truly elevates the whole experience. Highly recommend!

I came in on Sunday to watch a football game and relax for a couple of hours. Your staff accommodated me by putting me upstairs where I could relax and see a TV without any interruption in site lines. Your waitress Rebecca was wonderful making sure my coffee stay hot and plates and trays were cleared as I finished having a few appetizers. I have always enjoyed the distillery and becoming here since 1977.

It's been a very long time since I visited The Distillate on Mt. Hope and I am glad I did. It's such a cozy little spot, just north of College town across from the cemetery. They have a nice menu loaded with tasty bar fare and some great dinner options as well. The bartender was a very nice lady and took great care of us. The Nachos were a perfect plate to share, I recommend adding chicken for only a dollar more. Crunchy chips, gooey cheese and a very nice flavor. They went well with some beer and Jameson! I will definitely be back again

We went twice already within less than a week. We loved the place as it caters to all age people, families and kids. Nice ambiance with reasonable place and nice crew too. We are new to Rochester so we were looking for good bar and grill, I think we got lucky. Thank you for serving us. We will recommend this place and will definitely return to this location

Went to the distillery as part of a work outing today. Had a fantastic experience due in part to the excellent service received by Cassie. She was extremely attentive to our group and on top of things. The food was spectacular and i am looking forward to my next trip back.

I was supposed to meet some coworkers at this establishment,but soon found out it was somewhere else,but hung out for a couple beers anyway. I also had to order some food. That I already had to picked out. I wasn't leaving until ordered food to go. I'm glad I did the food was phenomenal!! The black beans and rice are to die for. Best I've ever had!! I've been to the Victor location a couple of times and I've been telling everyone that the location on Mt Hope is so much better!! I will frequent again with others. I have no photos to share. I wish I did. Probably next time. I added some photos, because I went there again. Also Steve the bartender/ server was awesome. He's been there Everytime I've gone.

We sat at the bar and immediately felt the warm, welcoming atmosphere — great people, lively energy, and the excitement of the World Series all around. It was fun, comfortable, and full of laughter. Despite being the only bartender on duty, Becca delivered outstanding service! She managed every guest with ease, professionalism, and a genuine smile. Her attentiveness and positive attitude made the experience exceptional. Truly top-notch customer service!

This was a nice spot to grab a bite after the lilac festival, or just if you’re in the area. There’s a nice selection of bar food. I had the wings, they were cooked nicely and juicy, though despite being buffalo garlic flavor, they didn’t have any heat at all. Mom got the shrimp appetizer and loved it, it looked great. I got a side of fries for us to split. I don’t know why I ordered a margarita in a beer spot, I did this to myself. I enjoy beer, I should’ve had one. I got excited about reading from the menu they had tajin on the rim of my margarita (many Mexican spots will have this), so I ordered that. It’s a jalapeño one but it was so tangy or sour. Not the tajin, just the drink itself. Next time, I’ll get a beer, I’ve learned my lesson. The women’s restroom is on the second floor, men’s is on the first floor. If you’re a lady and have a disability, call ahead, they may have an accessible one, or not, I’m not sure. For anyone that this may be a concern for, I’d recommend calling ahead to inquire. The inside of this place by the bar was pretty, the ceilings were vaulted and wooden, the have a little train that goes around but up high above the bar, much like Wegmans does, or at least some locations. It looks nice and definitely a great spot to catch a game. There were televisions all around the oval shaped central bar, but also at each table which is great.

I’d come here again. I had the boneless wings with ghost pepper & blue cheese sauce. Beer selection has a lot of local options. Yes the ghost pepper sauce is legit…I alternated thru most of my meal dipping in ghost and then blue cheese before calling it quits near the end on the ghost. ;)

Nice place, decent food and price is is good! However I was expecting more flavourful food as they are awarded for some of their dishes. I order the hamburger with avocado and bacon, and I couldn’t taste much the avocado or the bacon. It was a Sunday afternoon so maybe that the contributor. Their wings are good! 😊 we really enjoyed them, and my husband ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich and he liked it. I will come back however to try their steak and other flavour of chicken wings.

Food was OK. French onion soup at or below average. We both had the fish fry, as we were in town on a Friday. Meh. Their in-house scotch ale tasted a little flat. The IPA was good, tho. Side salad was definitely a step above others we've had.

I’ve eaten here before and really enjoyed it, but unfortunately my recent take-out order was a big letdown. I got the same quesadilla I’ve ordered before — when I dined in, it was packed with ingredients, flavorful, and came with great service (they even gave me extra sour cream!). This time though, it was completely different. The quesadilla was really thin and barely had any filling — I only tasted a bit of cheese and peppers, and there were no tomatoes even though they’re supposed to be included. Half the time I was just eating the bread because it was so skimpy on ingredients. I usually ask for no peppers, but forgot this time, and honestly I’m glad I didn’t, otherwise my meal would've consisted of bread with a side of cheese. I was really disappointed — it felt careless to serve something so skimpy, especially when I’ve had such a great meal here before. Getting what was basically bread with a sprinkle of cheese for full price makes me think management might need to take a closer look at consistency and quality control.

The food was attrocius. $25 for blackened Alfredo shrimp + 15$ in deliver fees and tips and this is what they sent me. The noodles are PLAIN & DRY NO SEASONING IN SIGHT. The blackened chicken is literally just burnt chicken with the only distinct flavor being “spicey” for a 25$ plate I imaged it would be better than Pizza Hut pasta, but Pizza Hut pasta would never be this disappointing
