Quality cocktails and a cool atmosphere. The downstairs bar tends to feel more relaxed and the upstairs bar is usually more active. The rotating $10 cocktail list has yet to disappoint me.

Bar has a 1920s feel to it. Specializes in cocktails . Best dressed staff in Rochester. No cover. No dress code. Serves food late. 21+ only. Bar staff is knowledgeable on their craft. Highly recommend

The Farrier's Charm or the Velveteen ???????????????????????? ???? The Swans in Paradise is a fancy , gorgeous treat <3 (pictured) -- or if the Blue Blazer is a real show ????????

Dedicated to the art and enjoyment of fine cocktails and whiskeys , this place is the best. Relaxed, good music , great bartenders and atmosphere!

Beautiful and creative cocktails . One of the best cocktail bars in Rochester. Pictured: Ramos Gin Fizz

If you like St. Germain, try the Velveteen . It's delicious and having several could cause you to bust out with Lenny Kravitz's "Black Velveteen ." You might even sound good singing it. Errrr....

Joshua Haftel

Great vibe with decent cocktails . Really enjoy the cat's eye--fun to watch the preparation of and even more fun to drink.

Greg Taggart

Great prices on draft beer . You never go wrong with the garlic fries at the food truck in back.
