Bachelor Forum Rochester Reviews
I can't really rate the food because we got there at like 10:30pm or 11pm. Im sure it would have been good as well. Happy holidays definitely will be going back 😊.
Great little local vibe bar. Stopped in for a drink on a Saturday afternoon after a museum tour. The bartender made one of the best bloody Marys I've ever had. The other people in the bar were friendly and talkative. Great time
An amazing bar overall for all walks of life. I’ve been coming here for more than half of my life and couldn’t recommend it more to family and friends and strangers alike 💕
If you cannot make it home for some reason they are willing to call you an uber, if your having a bad day they will chat and listen to you. I love this place … the updates this place has made are amazing love the selfie machine and it’s free! .. fee pool Mondays are good karaoke Thursdays half priced drinks tuesdays whiskey Wednesday .. always something to do!

Party! Yes all the time with a great community Tuesdays are nice half price dart boards are fun too and they have good holiday hours

Great Happy Hour special. Wonderful atmosphere and welcoming bar crowd. The outside area was beautiful on a quiet side street with blooming plants on it.
Popped in for a couple of cocktails last night. We had a good time. Good cocktails and friendly staff. It wasn’t the busiest but the vibe was fun.
Louis was even MORE amazing than he already is!! Thank you to him and King James for helping me start and finish my 4 day bday weekend, i appreciate u fellaz! #bachelor4m @bachelor4m #buzzybooth
Amazing time was had!!Great vibe drinks and bartenders are on point !! If looking for a chill spot with good music,drinks and people RUN here #bachelor4m @bachelor4m #buzzybooth
Loving the new space. Makes a huge difference. The investment in LGBTQ+ is super appreciated! Service was slower than usual but not a big deal. Would be awesome to have a drag show (or two) in the new open space!
I LOVE how you've upgraded the place! There's so much more space to move around and I especially love the fireplace. Service was quick and friendly, music choices were great 👍 I didn't know people came here for Bills games but now I'd love to come back for another! #bachelor4m @bachelor4m #buzzybooth
My favorite bar to visit once a month. I LOVE Pup Night! Also friendly staff, plenty of room now for pool and darts after the renovations, and a pleasant outdoor area for chitchat. #bachelor4m @bachelor4m #buzzybooth
I'm going to miss this place. I hope it reopens soon. Great place for the community to go. Owners are great.
Peter and Francisco are fantastic. Great guys with great locations (check out The Avenue as well). Renovation looks fantastic. Very cool looking bar and everything is techy and innovative. Was so great talking to you and will talk again soon. Check these spots out!
We absolutely ❤️ this place me & my best friend. Louis & Max are the best bartenders & more we've ever met. I'd recommend this place to anyone who's looking for great vibes great drinks & amazing people, not to mention karaoke...

Nice music. Good vibes.

The prices were fair and the drinks were strong, but unless their new aesthetic is “unfinished construction site”, this place needs a lot of work on the atmosphere. It is literally an unfinished construction site with exposed drywall, joists, and wires. Bright LED construction lights are all that illuminate most of the space, which makes parts too bright and other parts just dark. The tables are plastic folding hi-tops which… just come on…. Really enjoyed this spot last time I was here a few years back, but if this is the current state, I’m less enthused to return.

It's okay at best. Drinks are basic (spirit and mixer from a gun), no actual cocktail menu. My biggest issue is the bar being under a stalled renovation for 3+ years. Clientele reflects the need for more care and innovation.

I was not impressed with The poor service on several occasions. Standing at The Bar Waiting for service only to several other random People being served while I and My 2 Guests are Patiently waiting . No acknowledgment of any kind from Bartenders as we are all waiting over 10 minutes, finally last we all decided that moment we weren't going to order and left.
