Joey's Rochester Reviews
You just wouldn't know it! Great people and beverages.
You just wouldn't know it! Great people and beverages.
Very cool neighborhood bar. Ample space for pool. They also have a dart board. You can sometimes order food from Richmond's or Schiano's and they bring it to Joey's. Good atmosphere. Rebecca the bartender is awesome.
This bar has been one of the best bars in Rochester. Simply, the bartenders and the owners are always great. They have a wide range of beer and booze options. You get free pool and darts on Sundays! They don't have food, but you can get food delivered from Richmonds or Schianos pizza.
Joey's has regulars for a reason. Even though it has changed owners over the years, they have kept the Joey's spirit going. The addition of draft beers and craft cocktails helps bring people of all ages in for a good time. The staff and new owners don't hurt either. Top notch on all fronts!
Joey's is a great bar, nice patrons, pool and darts and nice patio. Everyone is friendly here and had a great time and even better prices
Great bar, environment is just what you find in this bar located in the heart of the city. A must see if looking to catch a quick drink
Joey's is a fun and lively small bar in downtown Rochester. We play pool there, they have a couple of tv's, an outdoor patio with corn hole, and a putting game.
This is a great bar. Never too crowded, pool and darts, and a big patio. Owners are good people. Check it out!
+1 for pool table +1 for jukebox +1 for good bartenders +1 for nice owners +1 for staying open til two a.m. even when it's slow +1 for good prices = 6. So, 5 stars.
Great staff and great atmosphere... If your a billiards fan you will always find a good match on the pool table
Very cool relaxed bar! Great beers on tap and specials on cocktails! The place to be for pool and darts!
Great rotating tap selection, fair prices, and the music is quiet enough I can carry on a conversation. My kinda bar!
Nice place, good music, interesting crowd. Excellent beer selection both bottle and draft.
Amazing staff, great pool table, sweet hangout spot in the back, and super cheap drinks.
One of my favorite spots downtown. The staff are incredibly friendly and personable. The beer selection is great and reasonably priced, which is nice. They have a nice pool table, literally the only one downtown anymore. There are so many reasons to make this place your go to low key hang out. Also if you do play pool, bring your A game...
I've been coming to this bar since 1978. That automatically ages me I know. But my heart and mind is still as young as it was back then. Jamie and Brian both bring such an exciting crowd! And they're both such awesome people themselves, I can't help but like to come here still. I may be a bit older now, and the crowd is a lot younger than me, but I still have the greatest time each and every time I'm here. Then lastly, I cannot forget to mention Kara, who always has a nice smile a nice word and a refreshing attitude towards her customers. I love it here and will not go anywhere else!

Not a bad bar at all. Definitely seems to have its regulars but I was served promptly. Just another bar that serves beer though. Strictly for review purposes I order a random mixed drink. The Moscow was served in copper but the beer was better.

The bar tender is amazing and has great knowledge of drinks or life . Then, after 10 pm, the crowds get a little crazy by not staying away from the pool table during a game.

Unbelievable, he was very racist against me and my friends, so we left I went to the bar accross from them, Sorry were open, and very nice service there!
