Bitter & Pour

A subterranean hideaway housed in the Merchant Exchange building on Historic 3rd Street where only the finest spirits and elixirs are served to Rochester’s hippest drinkers. In the pursuit of excellence, we created a tiny altar that pays tribute to everything we’ve always wanted. A cozy and stylish atsmosphere, detail-obsessive cocktails, impeccable wine, craft beers, and thoughtfully crafted food

Loved everything about this place! Such a cool vibe, from the riddle to get in to the stencil of the bartender/owner's face on a cocktail. Both he and the other bartender, Amy, were super friendly and laid-back, great conversationalists and made us feel very welcome. It's a quiet relaxed atmosphere that's such a relief from the typical. Their cocktails are incredibly creative and they also have some hard to find spirits. We will return whenever we're in town!
