Gary's Lounge - Rochester

Decent enough place to have a beer or two. Open mic night on Thursdays. Food is pretty generic, can make the same things at home, but so far no complaints. 99 cent tacos on Mondays, Kowboy Karaoke on Tuesdays, 30 cent chicken wings on Wednesdays, 1/2 price appetizers on Thursdays... 4 pool tables and some arcade games, tv's all around.

This is my go to place if I'm looking for cheap beer, decent food, free pool (on Monday nights) and decent service. The place itself isn't that exciting as far as decor and such, but it's a decent place to grab a beer and some hot wings while watching a game, also, I've never felt uncomfortable or uneasy due to sketchy drunk people like at some bars in town, they pretty much keep to themselves. Oh and Cindy is their best server/bartender!

For a sports bar, the food is actually pretty good. The beer is fairly cheap and they have live music on the weekends which is always fun. A good option in an area without many options.

Gary's has a nice legal poker game. at the moment the schedule is weds, thurs and fri, game starts at 6:30, you can start as late as 7:30 typically. Nice people, legal game (some goes to charity) fun times. [hidden link]

I have been here once band happened to be playing, they were rocking out pretty well. Ordered onion rings and wings, both were good, didn't appear to be frozen stuff. I went out with every intention of finding a hole in the wall bar with cheap food and drinks, and I found it here. They have a juke box, pool tables are in good condition, place has a bit of a bowling alley feel, but hey this place is what it is and if you're going to a dive bar in Rochester looking for 5 star food, talented mixologists, and granite table tops there's something wrong with you, not them. Have your expectations set appropriately and this place will not disappoint.
