    A friend and I visited here last night to see Hello City, A Bar Naked Lady tribute band. We ran into several friends and to say we had a great time would be an understatement! The staff was incredible, including the owner who personally got on stage and said how nice it was to see some normalcy and have his doors open and crowds in, listening to live music again. The bartenders were friendly, efficient and did a great job keeping up with orders and the band just brought about this energy like no other. I definitely look forward to visiting again in the near future.

    Holy crap it's loud in here! Not even a third full and way too loud. Maybe it's this particular group?? I can't imagine it when there's live music on the indoor stage. Really nice buildout though. Wish the beer was a little better. $12 for a 4 flight taste is a little high, they should add another hole to the paddle. No real food so don't come hungry. Great outdoor seating area unless it's 90 and 80% humidity like today :( I'd definitely go 4 stars if the beer was better- all 4 were a little disappointing.

    I was stoked to come to a local brewery. I was saddened to find out they don't have many dark beers. I went with the porter, which was less %ABV than I wish it was. I was looking for something 8.5% or above. 10 would be great! Too bad they only have beer and wine. We had just come from dinner and were having cocktails. Grabbed our beers and went outside. The patio area closes at 10 to provide some quiet time for the neighborhood. So we wanted to enjoy that before we couldn't. Played a game of cornhole against some locals. I don't think they knew what they were up against. 21-4. Headed inside at 10. The band was like an oldie big brass band. Three young ladies singing. They were great! Some older couples were dancing and having a great time. The inside space got really full when the patio closed. No tables or seating available, all taken. I took a minute to appreciate the murals. Apparently the owner is the artist and he hid his kids' and wife's names in each one. Pretty neat game to try to find them. We didn't stay long after the patio closed and people were filed in there like sardines. Wish there was a greater dark beer selection or some wines I'd actually drink. They should open up the brewery tank area when the patio closes so it's not so stuffy.

    Rochester has a ton of breweries. I have visited a few and I have noticed they all have a distinct vibe. Also, a distinct crowd inside. Three heads Brewing has a large building with a large outdoor patio. There is a life sized jenga game and corn hole set up outside on the patio for your enjoyment. Apparently they don't have a kitchen but they do have jerky, nuts and a few other tasty snack options. Also, there is a food truck schedule on their website. Btw there is a amazing Mexican restaurant across the street. The brewery is ok with you ordering food from there and eating it at the brewery. Amazing! So basically, don't worry too much about the food situation. The beer list was medium in length with the usual suspects. Pilsners, sours, stouts, ales and lagers. The beer was delicious. No complaints here. The Brambleberry Ale and the NOTA Pilsner were my favorites. Apparently three Heads Brewing is a stop on the peddle party cart route. A group showed up had a few and peddled away. A band was setting up to play some tunes but I departed before they got started. Check the website for the live music schedule. In review, I feel like three heads brewery is the best I have visited in Rochester so far. The beer selection, size of the venue, location, outdoor area and vibe are all wins!

    Outdoor seating- the sun area

    A lovely place to visit on University Avenue. We were greeted upon arrival by friendly staff and were prompted to order inside at the bar and sit outside. They have a lovely patio which is half tented and half in the sun to accommodate all. Dogs are allowed outside as well. The patio is filled with picnic tables which have posted instructions for their COVID-19 policies. They had ample seating and we enjoyed picking our own spot while enjoying the bustling neighborhood. We ordered a Pacific Jade Hazy IPA and their newest sour. Both were tasty beers. They offered a variety of beers, ciders and other options. They also had a variety of cheap snack options available due to the new government restrictions on ordering food with your drinks. They only charged $.50 for the snacks which we also appreciated. Overall, this is a great place for pet, beer, and social lovers to enjoy some brews. I would come again and recommend this place to others.

    I definitely love Three Heads the most in the spring and summer to enjoy the patio. It's spacious, they have a tent installed to keep it shady, and also setup corn hole, plus regularly rotating food trucks to pair their eats with your beers. They have a lot of fun here and I'm glad to see the space they created in NOTA. There are regular shows here too where they highlight awesome local bands. Sometimes it can get a little rowdy and loud inside if it's busy, but you know, that's just the 3HB vibe. Rowdy, loud, and fun. I've been known to set up a meeting a time or two here. Meetings are always better with beer. Most recently, I visited for a few events - it's a great spot for a networking happy hour. Their beers are always top notch - try the classic, The Kind IPA. It's a must. I'm really into their sour beer too.

    My boyfriend and I stopped in for a beer while waiting for our reservation at Nosh and it did not disappoint. The beers were great! We sat outside at a picnic table and it was perfect. The bartenders were extremely friendly and made great suggestions. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!

    A rochester staple stop. Grabbed two pints & sat on the patio. They have a nice covered area with I think 9 or 12 tables. Plenty of other spots not covered, today was rainy so it was nice they had the tent. There were no seats inside yet but it was the perfect day to sit outdoors.

    Beer Flight and chips
    Dan L.

    Not impressed with their flight pricing. Three, 3.3 oz pours for $10. We had never been there and wanted to sample more of their offerings, but at $1/oz, that didn't happen. The pricing of a flight is twice the price of a 12oz glass of most of their beer offerings. I thought flights were meant to allow you to figure out what you liked without breaking the bank. We could have gotten two 32 oz growlers filled for the same $20 we spent on 2 flights. You need to put your three heads together and come up with a more reasonable price. The chips were good so you get two stars.

    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!
