It is fortunate that The Rochester Mills Beer Company has a sizeable parking lot because on weekends in particular, it is the place to be. Crowds gather on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights during its prime hours (8 p.m. until 11 p.m.) to indulge in tasty American cuisine and enjoy live entertainment.

Open since 1998, the Rochester Mills Beer Company has been thriving ever since. The brewery displays its original hardwood floors, beams, and exposed brick walls creating a cozy, rustic feel. It is located in Downtown Rochester on Water Street, two blocks east of Main Street.

The menu features a broad selection of food, designed to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. From delicious appetizers, crisp salads, pastas and sandwiches, to mouthwatering entrees and extensive varieties of beer, this restaurant has something for everyone.

The cost is slightly pricey but well worth the few extra dollars. The constant specials and promotions certainly lighten the monetary load. Happy Hour is hosted Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. offering $3 pints and half-off appetizers. Additionally, the restaurant offers a free kid’s meal with the purchase of every adult entrée on Mondays, which is perfect for a family night out.

From the moment you walk in the door, you are welcomed with a warm smile and greeting. Although you may find yourself waiting to be seated, it is well worth it. Once seated at your table, the service is incredible and constant. The wait staff is friendly, helpful, and ready to answer any questions a customer may have regarding items on the menu. Between the fantastic food and superb service, it’s hard to leave the Rochester Mills Beer Company unsatisfied!
