Your Neighborhood Gathering Place. Tap Into Good Times! The Distillery has been serving great food and drink since 1980!
The Distillery is an award winning high energy bar and restaurant that offers fantastic ambiance and service for any drinking and dining occasion whether it's business, pleasure or a celebration. The Distillery offers a extensive selection of craft, local & imported beers on tap and in bottles, a diverse menu of American fare, non-stop sports viewing entertainment and play an extensive selection of classic rock music on a state-of-the-art audio system to ensure a great experience every time! Soon after the original Distillery Restaurant opened its doors on Mt Hope Avenue in Rochester, New York, it became a spot for locals who met over good food and cold beer to discuss the various issues of the day, catch up with friends, make new acquaintances and celebrate life. Each Distillery Restaurant features a center island bar which is the pulse of the operation. It is outfitted with a generous selection of beers on tap from the classic lagers to obscure ales, each maintained at a constant temperature of 34 degrees keeping the beer consistently fresh and perfectly chilled for every pint. In addition to the extensive draft beer selection, The Distillery is known for freshly prepared food and outstanding service, which serves as the foundation of our commitment to excellence. In addition, guests can choose from our superb drink collection, which includes a fine selection of wines, martinis and specialty drinks. We continuously strive to create a great ambiance with timeless quality, friendly service and fresh exceptional food. We believe in attention to detail and are constantly re-investing to ensure our premises are maintained to a high standard. We are proud of our staff and management teams and know they work very hard to make your visit enjoyable and to create a fun and wholesome atmosphere, one you'll feel comfortable bringing your family and friends to seven days a week. Dine inside or out on our spacious deck/patio, when the weather's good, we know you want to be outside... so come and enjoy. The Distillery... Your Neighborhood Gathering Place!

Check out a recent Google review: "Hark! I have journeyed far and wide across kingdoms and taverns aplenty, yet never have I encountered chicken wings so wondrous as those bestowed upon me at Distillery. By the beard of Shakespeare himself, these wings are the finest in all the realm. Crispy without, succulent within, and seasoned with such sorcery that I fear the kitchen hath made a pact with the gods. I came but as a humble patron. I departed a changed man. Distillery, thou has conquered the chicken wing 🍗. If there be a finer wing upon this Earth, I have yet to find it. And believe me, good people, I have searched. Five stars? Nay. Five crowns. 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 Huzzah! Now bring me another basket, lest I perish of longing."
