Great alternative bar... been going here since it opened 30+ years ago. Live music & inexpensive drinks.

fantastic place. can be crowded and loud and dark, if thats not your jam than this isn't the place for you. this is a fantastically artistic space with an amazing atmosphere. staff is extremely friendly and the live music is always very talented.

I used to haunt the Bug Jar in the 90s, and I'm happy to say it hasn't changed an iota since then. Great bands, great crowd, and ambience for days.

It's called the bug jar. It's a dirty rock bar. As long as you don't expect anything too nice, it's a great place to see a show and hang.

Bartender was a little to busy taking with friends to get a beer in a timely manner..
Bug Jar is a fun and unique bar on Monroe Ave in Rochester, NY. The venue often holds live music on a small, but eccentric stage area. The whole building is decorated in a very one of kind/distinctive way!

First time after growing up in Rochester and now living overseas, what a fab venue . The music by Saphron w JC on lead guitar closing after two other bands and only 10$ door can’t be beat, gorgeous patrons and cool bar staff. Go there, enjoy the music, drinks and nice peeps.

I had a great experience here. The concert was very loud in a good way, and felt very small and big at the same time. Makes you feel like you're at some underground show or in an d*** indie flick. I would suggest dancing, it's fun

Truly a grungy joint. Saw some folks behind the bar barking at eachother over the placement of a box.
