    Vanni's Jazz Lounge makes for a fun evening out in Rochester. Our group had a great time visiting during the first set of live jazz music from 5pm-8pm. Vanni's is located in The Inn on Broadway and upon entering you will see an elegantly decorated lobby; walk down the stair to find a book case which may contain a secret entrance to the lounge. I don't want to spoil the gimmick, but it's very charming and our group had fun with this detail. The lounge is spacious with a select amount of table seating and couches. We chose the bar in case the music was loud. The decor and lighting helped make for an immersive setting. The design features stood out and we loved the look of the lounge. The performers we saw were enjoyable, though we were hoping for something a little more lively. I ordered The University Club cocktail. The drink was delicious and picture perfect. The bartenders made us feel at ease and were fun to chat with. We didn't try any of the small plates on our visit, but this is an option. Plenty of free parking is available. If you want to have a unique night out in Rochester give Vanni's a try.

    I really liked the ambience and commitment to the book theme. I didn't have any food, just drinks but the drinks were good and the band that played was pretty good as well. Also really liked the speakeasy vibe when you enter.

    The Daily Refresher - Hummus with some sort of "chef's choice" flavor (didn't work for me) and no vegetable sticks as per the menu until we asked for them

    This is a great place to sit down with a cocktail and stay a while. It is an adorable nook with…read moretwinkle lights, inventive cocktails, velvet settees, and a Victorian charm. My fave place to visit when I'm in Rochester for an annual conference. Bartenders are friendly and super knowledgable, and can create something inventive for you, even if it's not on the menu.

    Friends from Albany recommended The Daily Refresher as a cocktail bar to visit, and I'm glad we…read morefollowed up on their suggestion. The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.
