The beer selection is excellent and the whisky menu super. The sticky toffee pudding always does me in but i cannot say no. Good food, great wait-staff, & cozy atmosphere makes this a hit every time.

A real British pub in Rochester! Staffed by Brits with a huge beer list and authentic British fare. Love the Bangers & Mash .

John Lam

Guinness , the brewery , published the eponymous Book of World Records, to help settle bar bets. In this same vein, The Old Toad brings British pub quizzes.

Take advantage of the great beer selection . If you don't know what to get, ask for a recommendation. Fish n chips is a solid choice. Be sure to get the mashed peas with it.

Phil LaPorta

Old Toad is a very unique experience here in Rochester; it has the feel of an authentic London pub . The fish and chips are the best!

KaeLyn Rich

There are limited vegan options here, but the vegan Korma is yummy. Lots of great vegetarian options , including vegetarian shepherd's pie and bangers and mash !

Marc Mayer

This storied British pub has some good beers and ciders , but the food menu will keep you full for hours. Stop by for trivia .

Megan

Draught selections are amazing, and trivia night on Monday's is always a fun time! It is usually pretty difficult though.

Roger Chen

Not necessarily my favorite place for food, but good whisky selection . Nice for a semi-quiet date over drinks or group celebrations, but few hidden gems in the menu.

Joelle Hall

Great trivia on Monday night's at 9:30. Who wouldn't want to hear trivia in an English accent? :)

A Rochester classic. A must visit for locals and tourists alike. A classic british pub in Rochester - tons of beers and a great menu. Support your local business.

Brendan Myers

May IPA 's & separate menus for whiskey , food & beer .

Bill

If the bartender 's friends show up in the middle of your drink order, you WILL wait for him to pour his buddies shots before u get your drinks. That said, great beer , cool atmosphere.

Second-best beer selection in the city , with a deliberate, distinct British pub feeling--they even hire waitresses from the UK on internships.
