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! The Distillery has been serving great food and drink since 1980! 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.
