44 Best Cocktail Bars near Henrietta

“Great place if you have dietary preferences. Gluten free and dairy free. We had a wonderful server named Lori. She was prompt, friendly and informative about menu choices. Only thing that was a distraction was the music from the kitchen line. Heard over the restaurant music and explicit.Dietary restrictions: The best gluten free menu in town. Plenty of options to choose from.“

“Recommend a reservation. Food was as always, delicious. The GF options are wonderful, many of the options can be made GF. This one isn't but it is my favorite item: Chicken Waffles. The fried chicken is some of the best I have ever had! So good ?.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options and my celiac husband has never had a problem with cross contamination here.“

“Stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday evening. What a great spot! The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and I was able to park right outside the door. I was here meeting a work colleague, and I will definitely be bringing my family back to dine.“

“The amount of time I spend thinking about Okay's chicken tenders and fries and all their dipping sauces is actually a little bit embarrassing. I am a chicken tender lover at heart, and a french fry connoisseur, and these are some of the best, if not THE best, in the greater Rochester area.The cocktails are also ALWAYS delicious and very creative. First came here about a year and a half ago and at first the beer was a little underwhelming (we used to joke that the the place had "okay beer") but they really seem to have come into their own in the last six months or so on the beer front and we're really enjoying the beer too!!Great vibe in the bar area, fun to bowl if you're interested, great outdoor space in the summer. My favorite place to recommend to friends or meet up with other couples. Love, love, love.“

“This cozy cafe is my favorite coffee shop in Rochester. They have the BEST chai (I prefer their vanilla chai but their spiced is just as good) and their customer service is top notch. I appreciate the variety of seating options as well as the range on their menu. Love love love this spot!“

“Great bar with a cool vibe and an awesome staff. Really great thoughtful selection overall including a solid beer list. They had an inventive yet unpretentious cocktail list. I ordered a cosmo with a local cucumber vodka, which was perfectly balanced. My partner got their bourbon cocktail which was seasoned with allspice bitters. I also had to try their espresso martini which was one of the best I've had, great flavor and intense coffee notes enhanced with a hazelnut liquor. Their staff was also incredible and very attentive. Go here asap!!“

“The food here is really good! They have a limited menu, which allows their food to be delicious. They even have a vegetarian option, which I feel like you don't often see on limited menus. Our server was very attentive and checked on us several times without being over the top. The inside of the restaurant is nice and quiet...easy to have a conversation.“

“Lucano is truly a gem in Rochester, there is nowhere else like it! The service is so warm and friendly and of course the food incredible. They always have a great list of rotating specials, I highly recommend trying the frito misto and barramundi specials if they’re available!“

“This place is nothing short of amazing. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and the staff are top tier. I would highly recommend their smash burger (make it extra fancy), their latke frites, and any of their craft cocktails (though puttin' on the razz is my favorite!).“

“Excited to have visited the new location! I had previously only been when they were down by the farmers market. Friendly staff and a tasting gets you $5 off a bottle. Highly recommend the old fashioned no maple syrup (not much of a sweet drink person).“

“Oyster nights on Tuesdays are the best, delicious high quality oysters for $1 each. We usually get a couple appetizers (the duck fat fries and fried calamari are consistently delicious). I had a glass of white Bordeaux and ended up getting another one because it was so good. The cocktails are pretty good too and the desserts are delicious (I like the crème brûlée). Oysters take a little while so if that’s why you’re coming make sure to get an appetizer if you’re hungry. Good service and lovely ambiance.“

“Asked them to accommodate a party of 20 people in a week and they did! Convenient location. Plentiful parking. Venue itself is lovely. More importantly the food is delicious and the service was phenomenal! I definitely recommend and will be back! I wish I could remember our servers' names because they were awesome. Get the Brussels sprouts dish! So yummy!“

“My wife and I were here for the weekend and had drinks and hors d’oeuvres at the Studio Lounge. Espresso martinis, cocktails, and all of the small plates were absolutely amazing! Hale, the bartender was awesome and explained all the drinks to us and provided great service! Would highly recommend studio lounge for anyone looking for a great restaurant and bar in Rochester, New York!“

“My husband and I stopped into Hatties after dinner at Char Steak and Lounge. It is a very nice cocktail bar, and the views of the city are amazing from the outside balcony. It was a cool night, so we didn't go outside on the balcony. However, I did get a picture of the fire pit just outside of Hatties entrance. The decor is really nice and kind of has shades of a fancy speakeasy.The bartenders were very friendly and told us about event options that Hatties offers. We will definitely come back for cocktails with family or friends.“

“I love the Daily Refresher. The cocktails are always excellent and the service is great. The charcuterie board is huge and is the best in the city. I do wish they had more food options/larger plates, but everything I have had there has been really good.“

“Despite sound dampening affixed to the ceiling it was difficult to hear anyone else at our small table. The room was full and some customers seemed to think they were at a roller derby, but.... We will avoid weekends in the future. Food and service met the usual excellent standards.“

“My vodka sauce was very spicy but they did do another dish for me without the spice I did appreciate that. It was too noisy but it is a pretty restaurant. the waitress was nice and pleasant but should not lean over customers as a rule when passing things , she seemed to do this a lot especially at one end of the table where someone was sitting and he did not like it. I wanted to give some real feedback but we will be back to try another dish and the pizza“

“There were hardly any vegetarian options and none vegan ones.We ordered Street corn and a burrito ?.The corn was pretty good but the burrito lacked flavor.The complimentary salsa and chips was very nice ?Vegetarian options: Not a lot, just 5-6“

“It's a nice little place, the customer service was great, but I wasn't too thrilled with the vegetarian enchiladas which absolutely had no sauce on it, very little cheese if any and only on the top not inside.The corn tortillas weren't cooked, they were just dry and the rice was just white steamed rice and there was no Mexican rice and the beans were black beans, which I was hoping for refried beans which is more authentic, from my experience.Most Mexican restaurants give you free chips and salsa with your order (hands down) but margarita charges 7+It's a bit disappointing, but it is what it is .If you really want authentic Mexican food go to a little hole in the all in sodus point off old ridge called El Rincon, it's amazing and the son has a similar one in canandaigua....I'll definitely be back to margaritas, but I'll have to try something else next time ?It was good, but it wasn't exactly authentic Mexican food, not from what I'm used to living in California and in Tennessee“

“I'm so very picky when it comes to Mexican. It's by far my favorite food and this food is delicious! I got 3 beef enchiladas and rice/beans. It has an addicting taste! Food prep & Delivery was smooth and quick! I'm so happy I decided to try this place!“

“This is an all around 5 start restaurant. Great food, atmosphere & service by far one of the best experiences I’ve had in a restaurant. This is my second time here and both times have been phenomenal. All servers and bartenders have been great. Christine was my server today and was amazing! And food is delicious!!? Absolutely recommend!“

“Aesthetically, probably the coolest bar in Rochester. Plus the employees are great. And sometimes if you’re lucky you’ll see this one older guy there who plays the piano, he’s really impressive.I love their drink the Hydesville Haunt. The shrimp & grits is always very good too. ?“

“Overall, a nice option for a night out. Service was friendly and fast.The food is quite good. Highly recommend the wedge salad and brussels sprouts. I rarely order pasta when dinning out- however, their "Black Garlic Pappardelle" was delicious- I've honestly been craving it. Their swordfish special was perfectly prepared.Cocktails were also quite good- the "Basil Instinct" and "Jalapeño business" were well prepared and well balanced.My only critiques (and these will not deter me from going back or recommending Branca)-- the overall atmosphere was a bit lacking... Although it was clean--the interior seemed somewhat generic. The dinning area was quite loud and the tables were rather close together.I also felt the menu was slightly limited- nothing really jumped out at us- however, we were very happy with our selections.“

“Can't recommend this place more. Top notch cocktail service. Love that they make all their own syrups and that they have a good diverse selection of spirits in their cocktails. Great beer selection as well. Highly recommend the chicken nuggets as the honey mustard was next level amazing. Really great place all around.Kid-friendliness: Please don't bring your kids to bars ??‍♀️“

“My husband and I went last night and had a wonderful experience; the food was incredible and inspired me to write this review. The beef on weck, the vesper burger and the Moscow mule were absolute stars. I plan to tell everyone I know to stop by.“

“Perfect meals, perfect service wonderful atmosphere! Had the burger, the cutlet, french onion, the simple salad, the gnocchi, the seared cod, and the cheesecake! And lots of cocktails. All were superb! Can’t wait to go back! What a gem!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Pane Vino on the Avenue last night. All the staff were attentive, starting with the gracious hostess, the knowledgeable waiter, Nico, and the bus staff who filled our water, gave us more delicious bread and packed our leftovers to go. The food came out hot, fresh and delicious! The waiter made wonderful menu recommendations and always checked in to see if we needed anything. Start to finish it was top notch! Thank you!“

“Went with some friends and the place was empty. No idea how or why that would be. The food was very good. The prices were the same you'd pay anywhere and we got to hang around and play playstation and xbox games. It was awesome. And since it was so dead, we had no issue staying late to just keep playing.They have a good library of games - both console and board games.“

“Delicious food! Order it on grubhub all the time, and decided to try dining in...Think I'll stick to grub-hubbing it.The one bartender made great drinks but was miserable looking the whole time. Not a single smile, didn't ask how anything was, barely spoke to us... kinda just glared and made us feel uncomfortable, total vibe killer.Compliments to the chefs, tho, cause that food is delicious!“

“Had a great time tonight! Kocktails were delicious, food was great, service was solid. A bunch of my friends got together and we loved the ambiance and vibe upstairs. The only tricky part is the parking. Do NOT park in the lot behind it - you *will* get towed.“

“I came here last night for the first time with my girl friends and it was so good! I got the taco salad with brisket and it was HUGE and probably one of the best salads I’ve ever had. Chips and salsa were delicious and our waiter Ben was a super nice, helpful guy! Definitely will be back!“

“Nice place. Amaizing food. As a Mexican food offer, not to much selection of food, but the ones were very tasty. Alcohol was a varierity of coctels some good and others not so good. Atmosphere: place is pretty in the inside but music was not so good.“

“My wife and I started out with the Calamari and had the Chicken Parm and Chicken French as our main entrees. The waitress attentive, the food came out quickly and the portions were large and tasty. The restaurant has improved quite a bit since they first opened. I'll be back again to try another dish.“

“Best Mexican food in Rochester. There's a large bar when you enter the space and the margaritas were excellent. The dishes from the appetizers to the desert had a tremendous amount of flavor. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back.“

“Love this bar! The drinks are amazing, great music, love the atmosphere and the fun variety of games add extra entertainment making it the perfect bar to hang out at. Staff are wonderful and extremely attentive. I would highly recommend checking it out!“

“Whenever my parents come to Rochester to visit, we go here. The meatball is so good like I crave that meatball at times. Chicken Parmesan is pretty good. The penne Al a vodka is a little spicy but it’s Okay. The people are very nice to us the bread is great. Will continue to go to Benucci’s :)“

“My second time at LOCALS ONLY eatery/restaurant located at East Ave/Alexander St.An unique clean intimate location & welcoming restaurant with an awesome food menu & 'out of this world' cocktail section.The staff are friendly & hospitable.Must make a reservation!Free parking with RSVP!Prices are reasonable.Awesome environment!Vegan friendly.Parking: Parking accessible with reservations only.Wheelchair accessibility: 2-level restaurant; wheel chair access“

“I am from South America and I have struggled for the longest time about missing local food. Condado does a great job with their Skirt Steak rice and beans! Do yourself a favor and get the tostones and empanadas too. I have always gotten it delivered so not sure on the ambiance but food is awesome!“

“Came here with a large group and ended up trying a bunch of stuff. For apps, the shrimp tostada and crab dip were alright. The salmon salad was rather simple, but the salmon was cooked very well. Everyone raves about the chicken n waffles. I had a N.A. Negroni, which is basically a 0 proof liquor, with botanicals and I was quite impressed. Service was pretty good.“

“This place was great. Food was very tasty. Drinks were excellent. They screwed up one order but made up for it enthusiastically. The ambiance was cool without being pretentious. Small place but that was part of the charm. It was packed. Would definitely go back.“

“I like this Branca location best. It's a nice atmosphere but also not too elite fancy. For me I enjoyed the variety of appetizers better than my entree but it was all pretty good too. The pasta had a different texture from what I'm used to but I think it was the sauce. Also our server was very nice and attentive.“

“Found Revolution while visiting relatives. Ordered the orange beef and was very happy with it. Good flavor and generous portion. I will definitely be stopping back to try anther dish. Though I didn't eat in, there is a nice setting / eating area inside.“

“Our party of 6 dined on a Friday night and had a lovely meal. The food was fabulous and all 6 steaks were grilled to perfection. We loved the wedge salad and the mushroom and spinach sides, but were not fans of the lobster Mac and cheese. The service was excellent.“

“Thus place is terrific. Unfortunately we had not taken the time to research this place or we would have been here sooner. Great menu and portions. I'll eat just about anywhere that has a Kramer portrait on the wall and a leg lamp at the entrance. We'll be back.“
