Dive bar but everyone is friendly. Great drink specials
This is a very cute gay bar that caters to a more mature crowd. When I visited, people were friendly, the bar tender was great, and the atmosphere was comfortable and safe.
Overall: Deb the Bartending Queen, Great Snacks, Pride in Food, AWESEOME Out-Door HEATED Patio, and a TOP NOTCH HAPPY HOUR...Of Course I Will Be Back.
Love this place. Great bartenders
The people that patronize this gay bar are some of the coolest gay friends I have come to know in the Rochester area. There isn't a time when I walk in there, and do not know someone sitting next to me. Now this can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the person, but hell, Rochester is really a "small gay city". Another drawback is it's a relatively small bar, so if you want to pick up someone you like, you're dealing with very little big fishes in a massive pool of small hungry fish. Also if you're looking to be a guest star for the night, this bar has ample amounts of couples in open relationships that like to frequent this location for its intimate atmosphere. Although there are always going to be the times where you strike out mainly because of this: You like Guy, Guy Just Want's Sex=No Good or Guy Just Want's Sex= A One Night Stand that you will never see again. So yeah, the possibilities to whammy out here can be high, but you might as well make the best of it. I know personally that my dates never worked out from A-Pub long-term BUT the opportunity to present itself was there much better than on social apps such as Adam4Adam.
Carolyn provides top notch bar service, and the food is always delicious.
The Avenue Pub aka The A-Pub is Rochester's local neighborhood gay bar. Now I do not go out much to the bars, but The Avenue Pub is my go-to spot for friends, entertainment, food, and drinks! Finding the Avenue Pub along Monroe Ave. can be difficult, but just look for the rainbow flag flying outside the parking lot next to Bruegger's Bagels. When you walk into the A-Pub you are familiar with the environment being right out of a Cheers episode. Inside there are pool tables, full bar, and an awesome outdoor patio with heated lamps. The heated lamps, and char pits outside work well on those chilly winter nights, believe me I practically hug one every time. The food at A-Pub is top notch for any bar as it can include NY Strip Steaks, and Shrimp Primavera with THREE additional sides to choose from- BONUS. Happy Hours are also a BONUS at A-Pub as drinks can be ridiculously cheap, not to mention top bartender Debra Kline can whip out a strong cocktail for you anytime. They will also give out chips for drinking next time which helps when you see someone you don't like, and want to make bee-line for the exit door. The only downside I can say is you need to have a 10.00 dollar minimum to use your card which is annoying because who the heck likes to carry cash on them nowadays. Deb is also great at providing snacks at the bar, along with different themed nights like Game Night.
