Walked in for beer tasting. 4 small glasses for 10$. 12 Horse and Mosaic Cream are real good. Paige (bartender) was quite helpful. Sat in brewery area, quite interesting atmosphere. Definitely a must see.

I have yet to find a Genesee brew that I like, but it was worth the price of admission to go up on the rooftop deck to see the sun set. Thanks to the mess of (yet another) half-done construction project in Rochester, this is probably the only way you can see the falls now! The pub itself is in a really cool historic building and has lots of history and displays. Huge souvenir shop. Friendly staff.

Come on down, this is the perfect time of the year to do a beer flight. The porter stout is really well done, for food had the elk burger. Their elk burger is really good! They cook to order and I recommend it rare, soft, delicious and perfectly seasoned.

This place is a must-try when visiting the city of Rochester, New York State. The location is in downtown and there is a free, large, parking lot available for all guests. The first floor is a brewery/gift shop kinda place and the restaurant/bar is upstairs. We sat on the patio section and enjoyed the views of the night scenes of Rochester, including beautiful scenery of the water, city, and construction site for a bridge. The food arrived within a reasonable time. Service was courteous and fine. We ordered chicken wings, this pizza and some chili/soup of the day. The taste was quite nice, nothing extraordinary to blow you away but more than tasty to satisfy hunger during a long travel day. (We arrived from Toronto, Canada that day) I'd recommend.

First time visitor. Loved the beer selection. Great pretzels. Really cool building. Lots of history. If you are lucky enough to have Ava as your waitress, you will have an amazing experience. 🍺

What a great place to have a good beer and excellent quality food. The beers are great and they have a little bit of everything for everyone at great prices too ($4 for draft beer . Wow!) The food I ordered was excellent and freshly made. I had the cowboy burguer, medium with mashed potatoes on the side and it was perfect . Definitely a place to visit. Very attentive service too and awesome atmosphere. Great views of the falls from the balcony or the rooftop

What a nice place! First time here, I was asked if I wanted to sit inside or on the deck. We chose the deck and I'm so glad we did. There's a beautiful view of the nearby high falls. The tables are nice. Great atmosphere. Our waitress was great, the food came out quickly and piping hot and was really delicious. They have a lot of options for different price points. So it can be cheap or expensive depending on what you order.

Very cool, awesome spot! Food not bad. Nothing great. You have a really good choice of beers on hand. My go-to is the kolsch ruby red. It was fairly crowded on a Saturday late afternoon. Nice view of the falls, outside seating. Really neat place, check it out. It's good to see many people out and about enjoying the riches of a Rochester staple.
