I don’t like to share a bad review… I personally have never felt welcome here. To be honest with you, I feel as though the bar tenders are not really kind. I think the overall staff is not really nice. I do like Giggles! She is old school. I said good morning to the owner this morning and greeted with a smug… Really! This bar is in my neighborhood. I’m not going to support you anymore. I’m sure many of us feel the same way. Good luck. Plenty of other options for a safe place .

Great place to hang out. Good drinks, great prices, fun games (pool, darts, pinball,Pac-Man, buck hunter), and delicious food. Must have the grilled cheese!

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and a welcoming crowd. Food is fantastic (try the chopped cheese and disco fries - trust me). Events lineup is seriously impressive and has something for everyone - karaoke, live bands, shows. And if you just want a reason to leave your couch and grab a drink, shout Jeopardy answers at the TV, or play darts/pool? This is the place to do it. *Highly* recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a new favorite go-to spot in Roc!

Great place! Owner and bartenders are friendly. Lots of events and live music. The food is awesome - decent prices too. Would absolutely recommend!

Wonderful neighborhood local bar. Friendly service and crowd. Great selection of bears and spirts and an excellent while eclectic food menu.

My wife and I absolutely love this place! Bad Ending Bar has become our go-to spot in Rochester. The new look is just what this legendary hangout spot needed. The atmosphere is so cool and cozy, it's easy to settle in and have a great time. But what makes Bad Ending Bar truly special is the sense of community. Since the new ownership by Fred & Melissa, they've turned our local watering hole that happened to be in our neighborhood into our favorite place to be for a bite, drink, and conversation.

Great food, tasty cocktails and immaculate vibes. Have enjoyed hanging out frequently with friends there and love the renovations ❤️ they have a creative menu (genius to have pancakes and breakfast for late night cravings). Owners have put their hearts into the bar and it shows
