    Great environment for a brewery. It sits at the rivers edge, close to the falls. The beer selection is wide and adjusts with the seasons. If you're able, and the weather cooperates, sit outside on the deck that overlooks the falls. Some of the beer was good, others not so much. Go with some of the standard brews. The strawberry summer beer was a tad artificial. The food was solid. I wanted to like their BLT more with the thick bacon, but the meat was under cured in my humble opinion. It missed on a richer flavor. The White Hot was excellent.

    Good food with a great view of the falls. We ate out on the deck on a really cold day in January and were comfortable in the enclosure. I'd love to go again in the warmer months. Great service and of course great beer

    Incredible views of the City and it’s water falls. Amazing atmosphere. Fantastic burgers and home made chips. This is a MUST in rochester. Love taking in the entire experience by visiting the shop located downstairs and tasting a wide variety of fresh Genesee taps at a really great price.

    Our first experience in Rochester and it was a good one at the Genessee Brew House. A fun bar/restaurant in an old brewery. The gift shot was interesting to just walk around and soak up the history. The rooftop deck gave us a great view of the falls. A must do!

    Wow! I went here for the first time tonight, but it will certainly not be my last! The ambience is eclectic and interesting with many unique displays. The beers are enjoyable and the food is first rate. If the weather is cooperative, the roof top is a fantastic place to take a friend for an incredible Rochester view and experience.
