I went here for a luncheon a group of us were invited by members of this esteemed club. They have private parking and a valet a plus. It's light and bright and pretty old school, they have a bartender, nice staff and good food. It was all done up for Christmas as this was the time I went. I believe to become a member you have to be sponsored to join basically like any private club. If asked to join you have "basically arrived" I don't doubt they have other events, like a wedding, prom and other parties as long as your sponsored by a member this is my thought. Hopefully I will go back for other events if I am invited. Stay tuned.. if your invited go it's old school in a good way. Cheers

Our 3 year old has picked up some tennis lessons and we have attended a few brunches (Santa) and happy hours. I foresee us using the Club to entertain out-of-towners and for dinner on special occasions. I will all try to pick up paddle or pickleball at some point. I imagine it's also a good place to network for business (not for me) and to meet people you wouldn't necessarily meet in your existing network.

I had the Caesar salad to start followed by the shrimp and scallops scampi. Fresh hot rolls were served up as well. Drinks were a plenty and the night was spectacular. It definitely made this birthday super special and one to remember for a long time to come. The birthday cake with the fresh raspberries was the finishing touch. It was easily the best cake I have ever had.

I haven't…read morebeen to Lux since the pandemic started, and honestly don't think I had been at all this year prior to that either. Which is a SHAME, because Lux is a special place. Where else can you eat midnight bagels to accompany your vodka soda? Where else can you get overly frustrated at the "get the circle onto the post" game outside? The answer is NOWHERE. Lux has a special vibe about it that is welcoming, inclusive, divey and strange all at the same time. The South Wedge location is perfect and there's usually ample street parking if you're DD-ing or planning to leave your car. I can't wait to get back here post-pandemic and enjoy a game with friends and a seat out on the patio.

We were too early for the dinner menu because my parents are early birds lol but the menu they offered was perfect for us. I had the lobster bisque to start and it was the best lobster bisque I've ever had. There are actual huge chunks of perfectly cooked lobster in it. Any other time I've ever ordered it from somewhere else its been minced pieces of lobster and has been disappointing. We also got the Chemembert Crisp which is Chemembert cheese, covered and almonds and pecans, put in the oven and topped with apple and pear conserve. It is served over salad mix with a very tasty olive oil and bread. It was my first time having it and it was tremendous. Most of us got chicken wraps which were average. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the people who work there are very personable and know the meaning of hospitality. Oh and make sure you get the ice cream for dessert! They make it in house and its the best ice cream we've ever had, very creamy, not too sweet, just perfect. I definitely recommend this place if you ever get the chance or know someone who is a member. Their brunch is top notch too!

In 1941, a group of deaf men met on a regular basis in a clubroom located at 21 Front Street in Rochester. They were members of the so-called Rochester Sphinx Club. Socials and other entertainments were planned to raise money to pay the rent of the clubroom. The club incorporated in 1945, and the name was changed to Rochester Recreation Club for the Deaf, Inc. (RRCD). Women were eventually allowed to join. Socializing was very popular as there were no ttys, no tv captioning, no open-captioned movies at theaters. People met at the club to catch up on news, and make plans or other appointments. From 1945 to 1966, the club met at various locations, renting space when needed. RRCD began hosting New York State Bowling Tournaments. They also started showing 16-mm captioned films every weekend, sometimes showing twice in an evening to handle the large crowds. In 1966, RRCD purchased a building at 1275-1279 St. Paul Street for $12,000. Members volunteered their services fixing up the club into presentable condition; more socials were planned and membership grew. Bingo, Bank Night, weekly bowling leagues, and euchre games were frequent social events. A number of educational programs were presented for the members. In February 1989, the clubhouse burned down, due to arson. For one and a half years, the members had no place for their meetings, so they met at Perry's Bowling Lanes, and began searching for a new clubhouse. In 1991, a building was purchased at 1564 Lyell Avenue for $144,000. After remodeling, the building officially opened in 1992. Many bowling tournaments were hosted by RRCD. Super Bowl parties were held with the club's 52-inch TV. Steer Roasts kicked off the fall season each year. A local publication, Deaf Rochester News was sponsored by RRCD for ten years. Interpreters were welcomed as members, and new programs such as D.E.A.R. and R.E.A.P. were started. Euchre became popular and drew many new members. Soon the mortgage was paid off, with a note-burning ceremony. Other local organizations began using the clubhouse for their events. A new website was started in 2006. RRCD has truly become a hub for the Rochester Deaf Community.
