Friday was our first time there. We were seated right away for some drinks and a late lunch…read more Service was outstanding and I enjoyed was the atmosphere at the bar. Many seemed to know one another and it reminded me of a modern Cheers type feel. We ordered the turkey wrap with waffle fries and the Korean Good For Your Soeul Burger and tater tots. Everything was absolutely delicious and enough for two meals. I would highly recommend the Old Stone Tavern. That extra crisp on my tater tots and melt in your mouth flavor on the burger was on point!

This is the best for folks who like to bring their pups everywhere and I wish I had known sooner. I also heard they have a rockin' weeknight karaoke, and I know my partner and I will be hitting that up at some point in the near future. This is your standard Monroe Ave dive (not the diviest there is but divey nevertheless) and it fits in great with the rest of the Monroe scene. I went with a raspberry vodka soda and it was perfectly strong, made by a super friendly bartender who was attentive to everyone seated. I will for sure be back for drinks with friends when I am in the area (and to try some food!)

Turcotts Taproom got more than a face lift from the days it was Lola's. It got a soul transplant…read more Or maybe a soul merge. Lola's had a great run, and the well known corner real estate on Monroe Ave ( a major conduit to downtown Rochester) has had several past lives. Today's reincarnation is that of Turcotts. Turcotts belong to the same family of tap houses as Oxfords, Magpie's, Murphy's law, and Brass (check out the Yelp reviews). Bye bye to craft martinis and burlesque nights with the scantily dressed and goth-ish lady staff. Enter stage left: mixologists with that gritty-Monroe Ave-Dude! Where have you been my whole life-being. Instant liquid compadre and confidant. Maybe because of the heavy pours, but I'm sticking to my stance of good people good drinks. Prove me wrong. And now a brief history... This multigenerational-"family"-owned network of bars lost a dear and close "family" member when the longtime manager of Oxford's passed away. As an homage to this veteran bar manager the owners approached his family and asked if they could honor the fallen by renaming Lola's after him....or more exactly his family name: Turncott! Hence, Turcotts. Cheers to this! The physical layout of this watering hole has always been a challenge. Not only for the staff but for the patrons as well. It's narrow and doesn't accommodate groups greater than two. So if you're on date night or rocking lower Monroe Ave solo; then be sure give Turcotts some play. The makeover this establishment received is a huge upgrade. Goodbye great dive bar and hello jump off spot. Generous accents of red leather trim with matte black wood trip gives the place a good attempt at being not divvy- almost reminiscent of the British turncoats!...A good checkpoint on any Monroe Ave adventure. The drinks at Turncotts are definitely on par with the neighborhood. Depending on your relationship with the mixologist behind the bar, you're gonna have that off menu specialty or you're ordering one of the staples on the cocktail menu. You'll get a good drink with any choice. Don't look for the craft beverage on tap, as they offer little that's not bottled. Bottom line: tip your bartender and enjoy life. You're either gonna kick off at Turncotts or splashdown here. That's what makes the patron mix oh so good. If you hit the magic hours between 10 and midnight, you'll definitely have a story to tell at the water cooler. Overall: great homage to a fallen friend. Decent atmosphere with decent drinks. Either we start here or end here... Either way: Tip your bartender and party on Wayne.

These bartenders are on their A-game! It is a super cool space with two spacious floors and a beautiful deck (for those summer months). From what I can remember, prices weren't too high, maybe not dirt cheap. The pizza here also looked reminiscent of Buffalo pizza and that's always a good thing to find outside of Buffalo. Planning on coming back for sure!

Yager's is a great neighborhood bar. There's a good base of regulars that love to have a good time…read more There are about 10 beers on tap that rotate regularly. An ample selection of craft beers and ciders are available as well as all the latest liquors-du-jour. The bartenders are friendly, until it gets busy. Then just remember your manners. There are 3 dart boards, a pool table and a shuffleboard table which is a nice touch. They also have golf for the bros. The TouchTunes jukebox tends towards pop and second wave, but you can log in with your account and access your playlists. Flat screens are everywhere and all sports are welcome even Euro Football. Of course - it's Bills country - but no-one will look at you funny for wearing a Broncos jersey. No kitchen but they have food sometimes. A vending machine is available in the back. They get busy Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. It almost feels like a club. The floors are tiled so it can get loud, especially when a bachelorette party comes through. One of my favorite places. Stop in for a Strebby shot!

When we entered the sports bar the tunes were going and drinks were flowing, definitely a place I can see as hopping for events. We were seated in the back and luckily we knew what we wanted to order, I split some tenders with the little yelper and misses ordered the mozzarella sticks. The mozz sticks were nice crispy and had that cheese stretch which is always good. The tenders though, hand breaded which is nice but they were really overcooked, to the point the breading had that weird taste to it. Neither of us were really impressed by the 3 tenders, but we powered down 2 of them thanks to some ketchup , Nashville hot and bleu cheese. As great as the waitress was , next time it'll be just beverages.

The Caesar was adequate with a fair portion of add-on chicken. The chili was sub-par: thin and soup like, not many beans or beef.

Yet a nice bar the place was clean and comfortable had a wall made of tv screens which was very nice. Would be a good place to watch a sporting event. Service was very good the bartender came and served us at the booth we sat at. She was charismatic and made good suggestions on food choices. The Mac salad was very good just needed a little salt and pepper that I added myself. Mac salad is a tough one. People think it's so easy but I have tried a bunch of Mac salads that are not good and this one was very good. My sandwich was also very good. Had some kick to it thanks to the boom boom sauce. The chicken tenders were just okay. So overall I would suggest coming here for a quick lunch as the food is worth the stop.

After walking and driving past this spot for years (yes, years!), we finally stopped in and I'm…read moreglad we did. Inside, it has that classic old school bar vibe with wood accents, a few seats at the bar, and about eight tables. There's usually a TV on, but it's not overly loud. It feels like a neighborhood place with regulars, and I get the sense soccer fans love it here. (Or as it's called football) The outdoor seating, though, is where it's at when the weather's nice. Plenty of tables, perfect for people watching or just enjoying the view down Park Ave or Oxford Street. They offer beer on tap, cocktails, and even branded t-shirts and sweatshirts. Food can be ordered from a spot down the street I think it's Vasko's, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. You can pay per drink or run a tab. It's a small place, but a great option to walk to, grab a drink, hang outside, and just chill. Street parking is available, but if you're nearby, walking over is probably the easier option. I'll definitely be back.

There's a small back room with a couple of electronic dartboards. The rest rooms are very well maintained. There will be lots of animated conversation going on all over. It's definitely worth a visit if you're on this part of Park Ave.
