ROCBillsBeliever Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Mods, I didn't see a thread on the Rochester Bar Bill Tavern (a.k.a. Bar Bill East), but feel free to merge, if there is one. Bills Fam: Rochester just opened up their first Bar Bill Tavern, on Empire Blvd, overlooking Irondequoit Bay. It's in the old MacGregor's, for those familiar with the area. I got to stop in, yesterday, and somehow elbowed into the slam-packed bar for a Beef on Weck and some wings. Service was slow, but I figured it would be on day 1, but the food was incredible, as always. Compared to the East Aurora location, the benefits I see are: 1. MUCH large location. 2. NOT cash-only. 3. Bills bar. 4. Beef on Weck is on-point. Any thoughts from local ROC folks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 The East Aurora location started accepting cards I want to say a couple of years ago. We were there last weekend, and using a card was no problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the idea being that football starts in late August, and we're actually good, so packed days could extend into February. Makes sense, if you think about it that way.

It was already one of my top spots to go when it was MacGregor's, even more so now that it's Bar Bill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
