Genesee Brew House - Brewpub in Rochester - 25 Cataract St, USA

1 February 2024 We always have a good time coming here, although this time I wasn't pleased with some of the food. The salad I got was slimy, the lettuce was so bad. What happened to offering another side to replace my salad or don't they do that anymore. The burgers were good, but I was missing a third of my bottom bun. So I was holding the burger meat with my hands. It was awfully messy. The good part was that atmosphere with a beautiful view of the Genesee River and the Upper Falls. It's absolutely amazing. I'll be back, but I definitely won't order salad again.

We've been coming here sporadically for seven years and it's been consistently tasty and friendly. The beer is great: Cream Ale is a classic, but the rotating options are also worth a try. My only complaint is that they need to bring back the Salted Caramel Chocolate Porter. This time I had the elk burger and it was good, not a wow. Also stole a bite of the chicken pesto naan and that was delicious. The building is very cool, love the outdoor patio and the keg Christmas tree.

I have yet to find a Genesee brew that I like, but it was worth the price of admission to go up on the rooftop deck to see the sun set. Thanks to the mess of (yet another) half-done construction project in Rochester, this is probably the only way you can see the falls now! The pub itself is in a really cool historic building and has lots of history and displays. Huge souvenir shop. Friendly staff.

Walked in for beer tasting. 4 small glasses for 10$. 12 Horse and Mosaic Cream are real good. Paige (bartender) was quite helpful. Sat in brewery area, quite interesting atmosphere. Definitely a must see.

The place is nice with beautiful views in the rooftop. I asked for the cheeseburger plate and was soooo good! It was enough partion for my husband and I. I really liked it! The beer is good too and the service kind.

First time visitor. Loved the beer selection. Great pretzels. Really cool building. Lots of history. If you are lucky enough to have Ava as your waitress, you will have an amazing experience. 🍺

Always a great experience at the Genesee Brew House. Good food and service. The keg tree gets better every year and got my growler refilled. Couldn't be much better!!

This place is a must-try when visiting the city of Rochester, New York State. The location is in downtown and there is a free, large, parking lot available for all guests. The first floor is a brewery/gift shop kinda place and the restaurant/bar is upstairs. We sat on the patio section and enjoyed the views of the night scenes of Rochester, including beautiful scenery of the water, city, and construction site for a bridge. The food arrived within a reasonable time. Service was courteous and fine. We ordered chicken wings, this pizza and some chili/soup of the day. The taste was quite nice, nothing extraordinary to blow you away but more than tasty to satisfy hunger during a long travel day. (We arrived from Toronto, Canada that day) I'd recommend.
