A great museum for Rochester but also a fabulous place to meet a group. Great food and awesome views of rochester. Great for all age groups.
Paul LeoneSeptember 6, 2015What a great place to grab a beer and enjoy excellent beer from all of their legacy brands to their new Brewhouse craft brands. The bacon is ridiculous, the BLT is the best ever!!
The bacon. Everyone talks about the pretzels (which are amazing), but the BLT and the Brew House Burger have amazing thick cuts of bacon on them. You won't be disappointed.
Monica CullenMarch 30, 2017Flights are now 3$! Still great! Come here to try some of the specialty beers--they can only be had here or at Wegman's
Love this location and the mini museum on the ground floor. The menu could use some revisions. It is a great place to show off to visitors.
Holly AcitoMay 15, 2013Definitely get a flight and try them all! Delish! Flights in the tasting/tour area only 2 bucks. Full flights upstairs are only 7!
Rachel NolanNovember 19, 2013Ask to be served by Larry Flint - he's the best server here!!! And like everyone else has said, the pretzels are truly delicious so it's really a must have :)
Amazing selecting if beer. Great food and great prices. beer tastings and tours. Awesome view of High Falls.
AlyssaJanuary 27, 2013Beautiful restoration and history in the tasting area, but HORRIBLE service, and the food is sub-par. Oh, and the staff are ill-informed and website is wrong. No tours on Saturday evening.
Christopher WalshMay 31, 2016Fun place to visit and have some good fresh brewed beers. One of the originals rebooted. You won't be disappointed.
Amit RayDecember 22, 2015Loved the location and the rooftop beer garden. But the food is disappointing across the board. Something of a tourist trap, I think. Skip the food and try one of the rotating taps.
Don't listen to Alyssa! Great staff and they're making constant improvements to the menu, website, staff and events. Rochester is Genesee & Genesee is Rochester!!- Stephen YoggyJune 3, 2016Food is not too bad - Beer is great. The atmosphere is fun. Great view of the falls from the roof.
Marc MayerAugust 9, 2015It's not just Genny light and cream ale. Expect to see some smaller batch specials on tap. too. Great place for a quick bite before or after exploring High Falls.
Lorraine DionJune 28, 2013This is a great place - brew house, brewery tour, museum, gift shop, great view & tons of fun!
Christopher CarlssonSeptember 1, 2012Lots of brewing history, a 20 barrel microbrewery, and a restaurant - all with a great view of the Genesee Falls!
Staff is great and the service is top notch! Atmosphere is excellent and the food is ohh so tasty.
Decent beer and nice view of the city. Get the BLT... the bacon is almost as thick as the bread
Roberta CapponMarch 1, 2013Bavarian pretzels are a must have. Worth a trip thru the museum for any Rochester native.- Great view of downtown Rochester. Okay. Actually, almost one of the best views or Rochester.
Do the flight - $2 for 4 healthy beer pours. And the pretzels are a must!
Tamara RoseOctober 3, 2015Grab a beer in a plastic cup and head the roof for the perfect view of High Falls! Always recommend this place!
- If you're from Rochester or a beer lover, or both, and you haven't been here... shame!
Get the pretzels. Seriously. Get them every time. You won't regret it.
Howard CottonMarch 9, 2014The sausage platter was disappointing but the mashed potatoes were very good.
No bike racks here, can lock up on the blue railings near the Platt st bridge and old railroad trestle
Ozlem E.July 7, 2018Not very impressed with the food. They won't change your table even when there are other tables available.
