Whiskey River Pub & Grill

Awesome party room upstairs. Great, attentive staff. Full bar. Beautifully designed. Update: best fish fry I've ever had! The batter is seasoned in such a way that I find myself hardly using tartar sauce! MORE Updates! Still going here almost every Friday I can, still snappin' pics and LOVING the fish fry here. In addition to fish frys, their blue and gold wings are over the top!

Set outside with friends and family for an outdoor concert and dinner. Very busy! Staff was good but a bit overworked, which seems very common these days. I had their smoked chicken wings with the black and blue treatment, which were very tasty but a bit pricey. My girlfriend had a special order hamburger without a bun (no gluten-free option visible) and french fries. The french fries side was disappointing due to the very small portion provided. No complaints from the other diners. Drinks were not on the cheap side but reasonably priced considering the music was free. Inside the bar was quite busy, although this was a beautiful Friday night.

The atmosphere and the area was very nice and relaxing. There was a live kiss band and they had the place live and rockin. Our server was amazing and made sure our drinks and food order was placed. The food just wasn’t what I expected. I ordered the smoked Blue and gold chicken wings. They were cold and not fully cooked thru didn’t taste smoked at all. I also ordered the Mac-n-cheese bowel with chicken. Bland and too much cheese. The only thing I liked was the bbq drizzle. I would only return for drinks.

Was busy when we came in but it was 6 on a Saturday night. The wait was less than 10 minutes and we had a seat at the bar. The food was absolutely excellent! We got the blue and gold smoked wings which were unbelievably juicy and tasted awesome! The whiskey selection was vast and the cost was low. I ordered a relatively top end bourbon neat and it was 6.50! That is unheard of and definitely I'll be back just for that. The crowd was upbeat the music was appropriately volume, and the TVs were jamming sports. They offer plenty of healthy and gluten-free items in the menu and the costs are average for the Rochester area. Lower in some cases. The downside to the restaurant is the area has minimal parking. However 5 minute walk from there has more than ample parking spaces and lots. You will not be disappointed with whiskey river! Give them a chance. Enjoy the food and flair, and bring buisness back to this area of the city!

Very good service. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium well. The blackened finished was tasty but the quality of the cut could have been better. The chicken wings were large and tasty. They will mix flavors in a wing order.
