First time here was helping run the Hennessy and Cigar pairing event a few months back. Great location central to everything but tucked away in a quiet side street. The patrons were great, the atmosphere was electric, and the guys on the smoker whipped up the best Jamaican jerked chicken thighs I've ever had. I can't say enough good things about the owner, he's friendly and takes time to mingle with the crowd, making sure everyone is having fun. Large outdoor area (partially covered), and best of all its 25 and over only! Great place to grab a cocktail and socialize without having to deal with "O-M-G I just turned 21-and-I'm-so-drunk" kids.
Best cocktails in Rochester.... awesome location. Also good food! Love love love Side Bar!!!
Great staff from front to back Bartender Park was very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to bartend at a high level. Lets talk about the food it was great exactly what I look for in bars/restaurants I smelled the grill from the bar area and when I got up and went to the back there was a great Chef by the name of LB who had just as much soul as the food he was cooking Me and my uncle waited about an hour which was not a problem because we love a good grill session and fresh cooked food we can see for our selves. As we walked on the patio area and kept the chef company while he did what he does which was make the best and most authentic Jerk chicken Rochester has to offer and I say that have trying alot of the supposed to be go to Jerk places around the area the the jerk sauce is like none in this town and also if you love raw art this is a place to visit hidden gem with alot of perks with great service and great food trust me.
If you like being around a black crowd this is a nice place to go but the drinks are super overpriced and the service is below average which I hate to say because I love to dine at black owned and operated businesses but this one has some more work to do. I can say the music they play is good and they have a spot to go outside in the back that is dimly lit and nice on Summer Nights. Also their security guards are cool and they don't grab your penis or touch your butt when they search you lol.
Awesome atmosphere and I LOVE the bartender Danielle!! Wonderful time!
