Went here for the first time the other night. Atmosphere was nice a lively. Waitress was nice and made sure we had everything. I got the cauliflower crust pizza, it was good and flavorful. The beer selection was good as well. Took a star off because they kept squeezing people next to us at the long table in the middle which was a little awkward since there was no space between us but everything else was good.

Got better service from 2 other servers than my actual server/ bartender.. she had 3 tables besides ours and maybe 5 people at the bar. Maybe too much for her? She had ample times to acknowledge us throughout the entire experience, but failed to do so. 45 min pizza, which I had to ask about from a different server. But it was good when it came out.

The beer selection is good and the space is really cool. The seating is not obvious, I ended up waiting around the space for 10 min before I finally flagged someone down to find out how to get a table outside.It was around 1 and they were out of dough for the brunch pizzas so there were only two options, so I got the breakfast hash. I dont usually complain publicly about food, but the scramble had little to no flavor, was a small portion, and every bit of potato and bacon was undercooked or burned black. Im guessing they were in a hurry and cooked it hotter and faster, but Id rather have not eaten it at all.

Stopped in for a bite before heading up to a concert at the public market. Had a great time.Cool atmosphereFriendly, attentive staffGreat beer and cider selection- they serve flights of four, so you can sample a few things.Tried several pizzas - they all were great, especially the carnivoreParmesan cheese crisps were excellent, and were a perfect complement to our beer.My experience was definitely worthy of 5 stars!

Excellent brew selection and hometown atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful when youre trying to select a beer that youre unfamiliar with. Would definitely recommend to anyone who isnt from Rochester and wants to get a good feel for the city

We stopped here in the middle of a long road trip from Connecticut to Ontario. They had ample parking and green space in the back for our dog to stretch and run around. Inside, the ambience was cozy and service was friendly. The food was a bit bland and the beers were decent. But, it was still a good experience overall. I might stop by again during next years road trip.

What a great little spot and I love the additional outdoor seating. Their Oktoberfest beer is one of the best around town They have a nice solid IPA as well. If youre looking for some great nibbles to go with your beer they have a wood-burning oven that turns out delicious pizzas and other appetizers.

Rohrbach has consistently been good for years. They have great beer and food choices. Seasonal beers are always awesome, especially in the fall. Their brick oven Pizza is delicious. I would rate this brewery in the top 3 in Rochester NY.

They mainly serve wood fired pizzas. Pizza was great, atmosphere was calm and mellow. Their blue berry ale is fantastic and always a classic. A good simple classic restaurant. Would bring a date there if I could ever get one.

We held a private event here and Nikki was amazing!! She was always in contact with me and she went above and beyond making it an excellent experience! The food was amazing especially my gluten free pizza! Drinks are excellent as always their beer is probably the best in Rochester (for those who drink beer) for gluten free people they also have cider and wines! Also very nice on a nice summer or spring day to sit out front near the fires!

Great place for a group. Many different board games, a large space, and regular live music. Try the cookies and milk stout with a scoop of ice cream!!! Appetizer and pizza kind of place with unique foods with traditional tastes. Highly recommended for their on tap craft beers, and ciders.

The food was delicious! I recommend the hoagie with wurst and sauerkraut. Overall, this is a good eatery with good service, nice ambiance and good prices.I will definitely go back to this place when in Rochester.

Wood fired food is always on point. The only dish Ive ever had that didnt do it for me is the hash browns that could use a little more flavor.

Rorhbach is a classic Rochester craft brewery. One of the originals of the scene, and continues to grow with some fun seasonals. my first memory of a Rohrbach beer was when my dad would go and get growler fills when I was growing up.speaking of Papa Schickling, I Hung out with my dad today and tried the chocolate cherry stout at the brewery. Nice flavor, while not being cloyingly sweet . Enjoyable time with friendly staff

Review №17

Really warm, inviting space for a brewery/pub! Chicken panini was very good. Pizzas, salads and sandwiches food options, but each had some pizazz to it. Tried a flight of beers - of which, my two favorites were seasonal. Black IPA and an Amber ale. Friendly service - Id go back for sure if I lived around here. Board games available upon request... so basically you should hole up here for hours with friends! Cheers!

Food and beers were great. Service was ok until they brought our check without even asking if we wanted another round and when we did they had already closed the tap. Last call wouldve been appreciated....

We bought one of the combos tonight. Pizza, Caesar salad, and a 4-pack (Blueberry Ale) went perfect with it. This had to be one of the best dinners for the price we’ve had in a long time. My wife and I will be doing this each week or every other. The only downfall was we ran out of food. 😂

How is their German pizza so good? Seriously, its a combo that probably shouldnt work but is DELICIOUS. I wasnt super impressed with their cheese board (not sure what I was expecting from a beer place, though) but their beer is phenomenal and the rest of the menu has been tasty so far.Try their limited edition holiday beers next December if you can!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Rohrbach Railroad Street Beer Hall on Friday and it was excellent! Nicole was wonderful to work with. We were running late from the ceremony rehearsal and she made us feel as if this was no problem at all! I know some were worried about other patrons coming back into the event space but Nicole was quick to redirect them and kept our party private. Food and beer were delicious and Nicole always made sure everyone had a drink. We would absolutely recommend their services and look forward to hosting another event there in the future!

Come for the beer and proximity to the Public Market, stay for a pizza or two. Their beer is legendary throughout Rochester, with great staples as Scotch Ale and Space Kitty DIPA, along with seasonals such as Pineapple Wheat. The menu is limited compared with the one in Gates, but there just isnt enough room there for that kind of menu. I took some out of town guests there last week and they were very impressed with my choice! Always a great time. Parking on the street is limited, but they have a code to the parking lot across the street, or you can park in the Public Markets parking lot a little bit more up the road.

I forgot to take pics of my visit here. We first visited black button and had a tour and went next door for beers and snacks. Super friendly staff made me feel welcome. Decent menu and many beers from Rochester to choose from. I do not get a chance to get to the city of Rochester often. It places like this make it worth the trip. You will not regret a trip for snacks a beers, enjoy.

Great place with tons of seating, occasional live music, all your Rohrbach favorites, and great wood fired pizzas!! Go by yourself to sit at the bar, enjoy a pint and listen to music, or bring the date for a casual night out, sharing a pizza and a salad and laughs over all of their great flavored beers.

The beer is great. If youre just looking for unique, small batch, craft brews then this is a good stop. Until recently they didnt have food but theyve just launched their wood fired pizzas and wow, really good. If you think a wood fired pizza and quality beer sound like a good night out of the house then there is no reason to look further!

Really cool place with great beer.I went here with a small group of friends to go on a brewery tour. Afterwards we grabbed some flights to sample a variety of the beers they make. The beer is awesome and the atmosphere is great. If I was still in Rochester I would go back multiple times.

Although i haven’t been to the brewery, i came across Rohrbach Scotch Ale at the Whole Foods bar in Buffalo, NY and had to look up where this place was located. The scotch ale is great and I’ll definitely be taking the trip to visit the brewery soon.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner in the private room at the Beer Hall. The waitstaff were friendly & helpful and the food was delicious. Everything we ordered was delicious, but we are still dreaming about the Swedish meatballs--they were AMAZING. The room was perfect, you couldnt hear any noise from the bar, and they had a projection screen that my father-in-law used for a slide show. I would certainly recommend Rorbachs catering for any event.

This is my favorite local brewery. Im a fan of dark beers and their vanilla porter is out of this world! They also recently renovated the interior and it looks spectacular! Very unique location in rochester.

Review №58

Sicilian calamari was a tiny bowl of disappointment, overdone & less than fresh. Buffalo chicken wing perogies were tasty. Fish fry and onion rings were good. They dont take reservations on Fridays but tell you to call 1 hr ahead. Called an hour ahead and was told wed be seated in an hr and half; still waited over two hours to be seated.

We ordered the prerzels with choice of 2 sauces. There were only 4 pretzel nubs about 2-1/2 inches long... For $7, youd think youd get a pretzel. We had so much of both saices leftover. What a waste. Not happy about the portion size.
