Salinger’s, Rochester

This is a bar for dad's and sons.

I was in town visiting my son who works at the R. I. T and we came here.

The drinks were great, and reasonably priced. As a huge fan of the TV show Cheers, I was hoping we'd see a Norm or Clifford C. Clavin character here, and we did. Boy, we did... They were a hoot, bought me and my son some beers and we ate together.

My son is quite the drinker and these two rogues knew it. The music in the bar, coupled with the tasty beverages led inevitably to baudy conversation about the government, women, TV and sports. Being from Boston, we had a lot of knowledge in these areas, although our hosts were regular patrons of Salinger's (Sal's for the Salinger's savvy set) and were able to give us a run for our money in the debate.

In the end, my son left to visit the Old Toad with a couple Jewish kids he knows from the chat rooms, leaving me to continue to drink away with the locals (regs as we say in Boston) -- the night was slightly ruined when I lost my hotel key in the bathroom at the bar and had to spend the night in my son's dorm but the gang at Computer Science House were welcoming and liked that I brought a bunch of Genny back with me, as well as a couple young ladies from the bar.

5 stars.
