“Ate there last night. Service was good. Manager Julie super friendly and welcoming. 3 of us had fish fries, 2 battered, 1 breaded. Large portions but a bit overcooked. Coleslaw portion small though. Broccoli with garlic butter had a topping that was a bit salty until I mixed it up. Delicious. Super attentive waitress. Never had to ask for a refill of ice tea she'd bring it upon noticing it was getting low. Wedge salad ginormous!! Almost entire head of lettuce!! Friendly staff and good service. Definitely going back for a 2nd try on the fish.“

“Love this neighborhood bar and come here frequently when I’m in town. Have you ever wanted to have a chill time at a bar like the one from Cheers? Do you just want to have a drink where there’s no pretentiousness of a cocktail menu where you can’t even pronounce half the drink names? Do you want a bartender that’s actually friendly and will chat with you? This is it right here. You can tell lots of locals are here but also very friendly for new people. Lots of space to sit and tables. Pool and darts are lots of fun. Drinks and food are great and they have an awesome jukebox. You have to try this sandwich they have, Neil Clark, that’s Turkey cheddar sandwich. It’s amazing. Highly recommend! They even have trivia nights on some Wednesdays and I can’t wait to go next time I’m in town.“

“Stopped by Stone’s to meet a friend after work. The bar is located in a small renovated house with outdoor seating on the back deck. Friendly welcoming staff and patrons considering it’s similar to a “Cheers” bar where everyone knows each other. Nice daily food and drink specials, cheerful atmosphere, plenty of off street parking, and good prices. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries for $12! They also have a $10 burger night, and steak night (not sure of the cost). It’s worth a visit go check them out.“

“Love it !!! Was introduced yo this place last year and I just had to come back: been under stress lately and I just out of the blue swung in interned to have 1 drink but ended up having a bunch and meeting new people. Definitely made my day.“

“I can't wait to see what the future holds for ridge terrace great owner amazing staff. very clean establishment.“

“Authentic Irish pub - don’t miss it“

“Their plates and burgers are fantastic. And perhaps the best fries in the city. Be careful using the delivery services, sometimes it doesn't take. So give them a call, walk in because they're very friendly and helpful and you'll get a fantastic meal.“

“Never had a bad meal at Pub 235! As a family, many dishes have been tried. And it's noteworthy to mention that they the kids menu was just as carefully prepared for the kids as the adults. Sometimes that is not the case at restaurants.“

“The best place in town! If you haven’t been definitely should check it out! Everyone Who works there is amazing and it feels very homey ❤️“

“I stopped by this place with family while we were walking on the canal. It's a very short detour from the Canal towpath, and has outdoor seating, which is great in the summer. Tons of options, and very fair pricing. I got a sandwich, my wife got a salad, and my son got the chicken fingers. Each item was delicious. We will definitely be back.“

“I haven't been here since before Covid and they were on Titus Ave. It was family night for a fish fry. I remember them having the best fish fry's. We got 4 orders with fries and coleslaw. The fish fry's and fries were very good. The fish was a good size and very crispy which I really like. The fries were good. The coleslaw was terrible. Idk what they did to it but we couldn't eat it. Non of us ate it it was that bad. It sucks but I won't be going back for their fish fry just because of the bad coleslaw. We also ordered a appetizer of potato skins with was very good. Service was great. We went early and was served right away“

“Nice place. Wife and I went out Saturday night in the middle of a snow storm. Band playing was "Judahs" or something like that, can't remember. They were pretty good. Noah hooked us up with some amazing meatballs and trash plate. Cover was $5. easy parking in the lot adjacent. Worth a night out.Parking: Lot adjacent has QR code parking. It's safe to use, but easier if you already have Google pay or Apple pay installed in your phone. (You don't have to have it, it just makes it easier)Whole night of parking was like $4. No complaints“

“The Angry Goat Pub may just be my favorite bar in Rochester. The food and service alone make this one of the best neighborhood bars you can find. As a self-proclaimed garbage plate enthusiast and expert, Angry Goat Pub is in my top 3 favorite plates in Rochester. The main difference between this plate and others you can find in Monroe County is that the homefries are swapped for garlic Parmesan fries, and the meat sauce has goat cheese stacked on top. It's just so good and filling- I had it yesterday and I still haven't felt the feeling of hunger in almost 24 hours. Also importantly, Angry Goat's kitchen is open very late, which is the perfect time to eat one of their plates. The service has also consistently been great. Sometimes at dive bars getting served on a busy night can be a hassle, but here we have been treated very well and served efficiently. There has also been live music here on a pretty consistent basis, but I haven't seen anything like that here. For those looking for a neighborhood bar in the South Wedge, this is definitely the spot to be. Street parking can be a bit of a hassle, so just be careful if driving in.“

“Bar Person was friendly and professional and they have popcorn.Parking: Parking is behind the bar and there's a lot of room.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp on the side of the building that connects to the parking lot ? so it's easy to get inside.“

“It was mid-afternoon on a weekday. The bar had a few people around it and only 4 of the tables were occupied. Service was instant and fun. Draft beer selection was adequate. The Ruben and Mac salad delicious. Burger and fries very good. Have never had a different experience in 5 or 6 visits. Usually stop there when we cruise down the Erie Canal in the summer.“

“Great place to have family fun“

“They have the sexiest bartender in town named Q check him out“

“When my family is in Rochester we always make a trip to drifters!“

“Fun place! Friendly staff awesome owners!!’“

“Myself and two of our staff came here on a chance night when visiting Rochester. The staff was excellent (we got served by Nina). It was also a coincidence (or not) that this pub is also the official Arsenal pub for Rochester Gooners.Amazing experience and if ever back in Rochester, will come back again.“

“In the last month I've been to two high end restaurants and ordered pizza from our local place. In all the Filling Station was the best! I'd go back in a heartbeat. The service was great, the bar knew how to pour a drink and I loved my burger. I'm so happy, we'll be “

“The bar has fun arcade games and a good crowd. But I come from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia PA, where the music goes from hip hop to funk to country to soft rock to rap to reggae to golden oldies. It seems like salingers and all the bars neighboring it ONLY play county music.. and no one ever dances. Just a bar full of people standing around. But good staff and fun people. The nonstop country just gets old, but this seems to be a New York State issue, not just Salingers“

“Love this place. We have been in Florida now going on 8 years. When every we come back home to Rochester, we come here to meet family for lunch.The food is so good. Highly recommend the mushroom Alex and Lobstet Bisque are to die for.The wife had the artichoke French. It has been 2 days now, and she is still talking about how good it was.“

“Recently stopped in for a fish fry. The size of the fish was as expected, but the breading (instead of being nicely browned, it was almost dark brown) was over cooked and had no flavor. The fries and cole slaw (could have used more) were great. On another visit, had the Rueben and it was one of the best I've ever had. Service staff is always wonderful!“

“Magpie is extremely consistent in their service. Every day of the week, you’ll find the energy warm and welcoming.I’d like to highlight Ray, the bouncer, for being exceptionally nice and going above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Thank you for you, Ray!“

“Had a great time until John the bartender farted. Completely cleared out the stool crowd.“

“I hosted a party at O'Callaghan's last weekend and had the best experience! The staff were so accommodating and flexible with our group. There were 25 of us in attendance and Savannah the bartender was such a massive help and so incredibly friendly. We all can't wait to visit again! The backyard patio/deck is stunning also this time of year, and there was a huge tent in the backyard open for anyone to use. What an awesome space that deserves more attention!“
