I used to live in Spencerport.. and now that I no longer live there, this awesome bar opens up. I only have Yelp to thank as I have not noticed this bar, though I've driven by it several times in the last 2 years of its existence.
After seeing some of the photos on Yelp I knew it was a place I needed to check out and immediately book marked it! Several other fellow Yelpers have described this place as "Classy" and I will certainly agree, but I would like to add that it offers a hint of a Rustic Country feel as well. (But not the type where you think OLD- It is done so tastefully)
Upon entering there is a small patio with tables and chairs for you to sit and people watch. You take a step up and you enter this establishment. We did not notice a door, it was just wide open. There is a large table with re-purposed church pews for benches. Along the left wall there is also some re-purposed benches for a standing wall bar. To the right is a small but somehow perfect sized bar for this type of establishment. Drinks are a bit expensive, but that's ok because this place is worth the trip.
As I tried to grab some drinks, one of the patrons at the bar informed me there is another bar in the back. I was not really sure what he was talking about. When I peer into the next room all you see is a small dining room. By the way, the dining room has a beautiful fireplace with re-purposed coat rack and newly added deer antlers. I knew from Yelper photos that this would interest my husband! We took our drinks anyway and followed the hallway to find this other bar. Again, we passed and re-purposed pew for a standing wall bar and then you are in the new bar area. What catches your attention immediately is the piece of drift wood that is fashioned to the bar. Its hard to miss. It actually became a conversation piece for us. We asked the bartender about it and he told us that it came from the owners backyard. Then had us turn around to look at some large tree roots that were also re-purposed and bolted into the walls and decorate with lights etc. Defiantly a must see.
While are the bar we started to look around and realized this place really does re-purpose everything.. but not in a tacky yard sale way. The back bar where all of the high end liquors are kept is an old re-purposed china cabinet, glass removed. The bartender confirmed this and also said the front bar was similar. I missed that, but made sure to look on the way out.
There are more pews and doors etc that have been put to good use through this facility. Lastly there is a back patio with tables and chairs.
I have to say that I am shocked by how interesting this place is with all of its different rooms and its overall feel.
On to the important stuff.....food and drinks. As I mentioned before, the drinks were a tad pricey, but worth it. Both bars have different beers on fancy draft, so make sure you made note. Also, their selection does change.
The food- I posted some photos of the menu. Our Reuben Fritters appatizer were over-fried. My husband loved them. I was not as thrilled. We ended up splitting a large Friday Fish fry and added an extra order of fries. We had to take some of our dinner home because it is sooo large. We didn't care for the tarragon tartar sauce or their vinegar based coleslaw though.
We will certainly be back. Looking forward to trying some other items on the menu and capturing some photos of decor. read more
