Came here with my son, 23.
He loves U2 and Bono, but he's also a drinker so Irish pubs are some of his usual haunts. With that in mind we stopped in Rochester where he lives and decided to try a few bars.
Now I'm from Boston so I'm used to the typical fare of an Irish bar: Guinness, loud music, shamrocks, alcoholic barflies and this place did not disappoint.
My son is something of a hound when it comes to the ladies and sure enough, he had a couple "friends" join us for a little bit. They were both quite charming although I have to say I couldn't understand one of them due to being quite a low talker (I later found out she's deaf) but nevertheless they joined in on a family favorite game we often play in the bars.
It's a pretty simple game, you name a TV show and then you trace it back to the perennial classic St. Elsewhere. Being a couple of buffs at this point, my son and I quickly took the lead by referencing Matlock spin-off "Jake And The Fat Man" although this was mistaken as an insult by a couple of the bar locals (regs as we say in Boston) which took a couple of pairs of pints to resolve.
Overall, a cracking time and another great bar in the great city of Rochester.
4 stars.
