This restaurant has great atmosphere. I've been here on dates, and just out with the girls. It's a great place to chill! The food is wonderful (CLT is my favorite.) And they have a vast beer selection.

I have never been at Tap & Mallet before 10:00 pm, but have often been there after that. While it can be a bit loud, that is only because the folks there are having fun and eating well. The food is good and the service is excellent. After eating our late night meal we often sit and talk while nursing... More

Went for a business dinner after a recommendation. Very good menu selections, very fine, diverse tap beer selection and quite affordable. The service was very good, as was the crowd on hand. I had a Cuban sandwich that was outstanding. I tried the Poutine and it was pretty good, not as good as you get on Montreal, but definitely very... More

Me and a few fellow coworkers were in Rochester this past Tuesday and were told by a bartender at a different bar to go check out Tap & Mallet. It is a decent size room with a smaller but effective bar. We were told to try the fired pickles - which are probably the best I've had. I also had... More

Had great dinner and great time. I'm not from Rochester but my boyfriend loves this place. There are at least 3 pages of beer selections! Def good for the beer and I would call it "upscale bar food". But if your looking for a more resturant place go to Tapp & Table.

I am a vegetarian beer enthusiast so this is the premier spot for me when I am in Rochester. Everyone should try the CLT, it's a BTL with crisp, smokey coconut instead of bacon. Sounds like some weird perversion that you would see in Maui, I know. Take a leap of faith, you will not regret it. My bacon loving... More

Had dinner there last night and it was really good. Excellent food and reasonable price. Would definitely go back again.

After meeting up with family at a local photo gallery for a mini-reunion on First Friday in Rochester, we were pleased to find Tap and Mallet available for our group of 8. It was very noisy on a Friday night, but the food, drink, and service were great! I enjoyed an apricot beer with one of the best Cuban sandwiches... More

Tap and Mallet. An excellent tucked away gem! While the area of Rochester, known as the South Wedge, is really coming into its own, it still doesn't spring to mind when thinking of a great place to go for a brew, meal, fun. Think otherwise! The beer menue is several pages, includes about every variation, country, price range, alcohol content... More
