    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!

    Large Reuben  sandwich was perfect!

    Great service (I believe Jenna was her name) and great food. Found this place online and decided to give it a shot. Glad I did. Clean and great atmosphere. Large menu for both food and drink. I'll for sure come back again.

    See all

    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.

    What a gem! If this is not the best brew pub in Rochester, I need to know, because Rising Storm…read moreBrewing is one of the best breweries I've been to in 26 states. First off, the food. Wow. The Detroit style pizza is phenomenal! Perfect crispy crust. I was there on a Friday but came back the next day to try the tomato pie as it was sold out on Friday. It was delicious! Think focaccia with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. So tasty! But what is brilliant is that of four pizzas, one rotates each week and changes. I had one of the rotating pizzas: pepperoni, banana peppers, garlic sauce, and honey. It bears repeating, wow! So great! The beers? There's something for everyone! So many hazy/New England IPAs and sours. Great seltzers too! The space is great with room for private parties. Such friendly staff. I hope to come back again before leaving!
