    I don't really know anything about Irish food but I have enjoyed this place all three times that I've gone there. However, there is always something on the menu that they don't have. Tonight's disappointment was the shepherds cake. However I loved my boxty burger which is a bacon cheeseburger with cheesy potato pancake on top. Burger was juicy (needed a wee salt shake). I asked for the garlic aioli subbed in for plain mayo. Sheppard's pie potato skins were tasty and an interesting take on my usual favorite. The taste of beef stew I had before Hubbo gobbled it up had a very tender piece of meat on it. Hubbo's Mac and cheese was not great. He never picks the right thing.

    Delightful experience, the food was good and the service was too. The reuben was crunchy and delicious. We tried a house Guinness chocolate cheesecake with bacon which was rich and I would have liked to try it without bacon.

    First time visiting and we will definitely be back. Despite being very busy, the staff was friendly and efficient. The Irish poutine was great, but the Guinness burger knocked my socks off! Definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had! This is going to be one of my favorite places!

    We had the best night out the other day! A delicious dinner and then an acoustic guitar player in a room I didn't even know existed! Their new room is gorgeous! It made social distancing easier. I had a special shepards pie with turkey and sweet potatoes. It was very light yet filling and delicious. My husband had the chef burger and a side of French onion soup. We had no leftovers if that tells you how much we enjoyed it!

    Smaller narrow bar in Spencerport, located right on Union street with limited street parking. There is a parking lot available near by the canal, just a short walk to the bar. As you enter the decor is very interesting, lots of dark wood and a cool pew converted into a roomy table. An old cabinet has been refurbished into storage for the bar. The bar itself is small, limited seating. We were meeting a few people for happy hour, as we waited for everyone to arrive we had a drink at the bar. They had signs up advertising four different can's of beers, I tried to order one...but was told they haven't' had that for a few weeks, then I attempted to order a different one on the sign but that had also been out for a few weeks.... might want to take the signs down. I then ordered a bud light... was shocked at how the beer wasn't really cold. The bartenders had some odd theory that bud lights don't have to be at a cold temperature only craft beers do...I switched to sierra nevada pale ales...thankfully they believe those should be cold. Once all of our group arrived we decided to grab a table, we found a spot in the way back of the bar.. where they have another small bar but it wasn't open. They have a garage door that opens up to a patio area with a few tables. I ordered a corned beef Ruben with fries, it was just ok Nothing that I would rush back for.

    Large Reuben  sandwich was perfect!

    Ok, this is a small bar restaurant on Main Street in Brockport, a small town on the Erie Canal. We…read moreare on a 4 day bike ride from buffalo to Syracuse, so on the look out for good spots for lunch. They have a few plastic tables outside, which were fine. No table service, which is clear from the sign at the bar! Ordered a couple of sandwiches, tasted some beers before picking ones, got our bicycle water bottles refilled. Really friendly service. Sandwiches are large, even the half size. The balboa is tasty, even if the roast beef is not rare once it's been grilled. And the wet poor fries were good. Cole slaw was a bit plain, could have used some lemon. Inside it's a typical bar, narrow, dark, with a row of booths. Outside we had a nice breeze. Twenty or so beers on tap. Nice variety. Ended up being a great place to rest our legs on the ride to Rochester!

    I went here for my little birthday party get together. And the bartender meg cuts me off from one…read moredrink and take my 50 dollars and she wouldn't give me back my change till I ate something so I ordered the balboa sandwich it was dry and the fries were all tiny so then she gives me a tiny shot and cuts me off again but she was cool with my friend buying me drinks. And I called twice and each time they said ok we will have the owner call you and they never called.and she was cool with us smoking weed on the sidewalk right outside wow dont wanna go to this small place with weird people!

    So first off the old mill is a really cool location. Still has some of the old millworks inside…read more Lots of cool spaces as opposed to one big open room. There was a youth softball team celebrating the end of the season upstairs so it was a bit loud, but fun. It's right on the creek and there's plenty of outside seating and picnic tables so if the weathers nice you can get your food and beverages and head outside. The bar tenders were all good, let us try a couple samples to make sure we were gonna like what we ordered. There's a separate spot to order food and the young girls working the food spot were unenthusiastic... We ordered the chorizo poutine, Roni Stark Pizza and Tampa Bay Bustdown burger. The pizza was good, honey drizzle was a nice touch, but the poutine and burger were the clear winners. Chorizo gravy had a good kick, and there were big chunks of cheese curd, nice. The burger had 2 smashed patties, nice crispy edges and a ton of flavor. The Gouda cheese and bacon they are using are both high quality. A lot of variety of beers on tap, not all IPAs which was nice for someone that isn't an IPA guy. Tried 2 lager, an ale and a pilsner they had on tap and I'd drink any of them again.

    Convenient to my parent's home when I visit Rochester but not a place I would return…read more Pros: + Great for groups. Ample space both upstairs and downstairs. + 2 of the 4 sours I had were decent. + Great for kiddos as they have an outdoor space that's family and dog friendly. It was very busy the day we went with a fun atmosphere outside. + Historic venue with a nice restoration for the brewery. The less great: + The setup means long waits. Having to wait in line for beers in a completely packed brewery with two bartenders is not a way to run a business. They need to consider a new strategy for ensuring they can accommodate the volume they are currently doing. + Had a bite of someone's burger and found it more or less inedible. + My parents had attempted to organize a large family gathering on the day we were there and while I wasn't involved in the planning, there seemed to be missteps and miscommunications along the way that weren't met with much empathy or customer service in mind. Too many great breweries in Rochester to waste time on spots that aren't going to ensure guest satisfaction. Great location though! This place is so, so busy it's obvious the east side isn't brewery saturated (somehow) quite yet.
