We left two restaurants before landing at Tap and Mallet. We shared large a high top table with some friendly people, ordered an AMAZING poutine burger and spoke to Joe about the farm where he gets his corn fed beef in Lima. Our waitress Stacy took great care of us and we had a really enjoyable night.
We've been to Tap and Mallet several times. A few times we brought our children and I must say that it is extremely comfortable and the kids are treated as welcome guests. This time we were without our kids and really had the time to ask questions and interact with the staff. We sat at the bar. Bar staff was knowledgeable and helpful with both the beer and food menus. Great job! We will definitely be back again. Cheers!
We took my daughter for her 21 birthday. Very nice atmosphere, huge beer selection, it was very busy and our waitress did a nice job of keeping up, we had a party of 7. Our dinners ranged from, the "Cuban" to fish fries and also muscles, everything was good, we had a fun night.

Incredible food, extensive beer menu, and delightful staff - what’s not to love? When I arrived I was bummed at first because they had gotten rid of the Rochester Burger (and I’d still love to see it back!), but our server assured us that there was a new head chef that was working to make sure the menu had all amazing things. I went with the southern chicken sandwich. It was easily too three chicken sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. And I eat a lot of chicken sandwiches. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The compliment of the honey aioli and homemade hot pickles to die for. My partner had the macaroni and cheese, which is just so, so good. The béchamel was on point and the flavors of the different cheeses blended together to make you feel warm, cozy, and just plain happy. Also, the black lager was terrific. Also, the servers really, really have a deep understanding of the beers, which is super helpful and a nice touch. If there is one thing I’d like to see them do a bit better it would be having the servers be a bit more attentive - particularly toward the end of the meal so that you can get boxes, pay, etc without too much of a delay when you’re finished eating.
Parking lot is a good size, easy to get to, large booths and tables far apart, a little pricey but food and portion sizes are worth it. GOOD BEER. Friendly wait staff, clean bathrooms, clean floors, under booths always clean.
For a first timer, it was amazing. Food was delicious and plenty and the craft beer on tap was outstanding. This is truly a landmark establishment and wish I found out about it way before I read that they were closing. If you have not tried it yet, do so soon!!
Yerm! My wife and I wanted to get some poutine for our anniversary and read lots of great reviews of T&M...they weren't lying. This place has great food (my wife got a yummy vegan burger and I got the best fish fry I've ever had), great beer, and great service. We'll definitely go back. Lots and lots of beer choices too. We had great, local IPAs.
Well I am sure everyone knows that the beer selection is killer. The staff has always been helpful and very nice. I love the atmosphere there and if I am looking to try new beer I always default to there. The burgers have never done me wrong. Always my go to. I am sad they took away buffalo chicken tacos and tofu bites.
Wide selection of beer. If you have a choice of bottle or draft, get the bottle, it's colder. Fish fry (Fridays) pretty decent. Inside is set up for social distancing. This place is a staple in Rochester for beer goers!
Recommend the pork belly sandwich. Food came out promptly and service was great. Beer menu is large enough that you'll find something you like, and there are plenty of options for non-beer drinkers. Vegetarian and vegan food abounds. Comfy little spot if you're looking for good food
A great beer list and a well crafted burger made this an easy choice for a quick dinner out. A bit crowded at the bar area (it was 9pm on a Friday) but comfortable booths in the back offered a spot to relax and have a conversation.
Service was not bad, but hostess was missing when entered, waited 10min and then sat ourselves. Large drink variety. Good food.
Poutine was the best I have had across 6 provinces. (Not counting states)
