Drifters - Rochester

Great service, good decor, okay location, bad food.

I dine at Drifters often as I am a frequent hotel guest... whether i’m at the HGI or the Hyatt, Drifters is always a good go-to for a quick meal. The food is always out super fast (i’m talking, like 5 min after ordering) and the servers are nice. The food is your typical pub-fare so if that’s what you like you won’t be disappointed.. but if your looking for something more of a dining experience you should look elsewhere.

I thought this place was amazing for being in a hotel. The one server/bartender was awesome as well!

Our second visit there. Can get busy. Reserve early.

We recently stayed at the hotel the weekend of our wedding, and had communicated with the hotel that we would like to have the party continue after our wedding was over. The bar normally closes at 11, but the hotel said that as long as we could guarantee a certain amount of business that it would be no problem staying open later. After communicating with them about how that wouldn't be a problem we were excited that we would be able to go to the bar and hang out with our guests after our wedding was over. The night before our wedding, I had spoken to ed (one of the bartenders) to verify that we would still be able to come to the bar afterwards. He said he would be there and there would be no problems. We thought we were all set. Upon the end of our wedding we got back to the hotel, and to our surprise the bar was closed. Very disappointing. We had family in from out of town, and friends ready to celebrate more with us. Wish that we weren't lied to, and that we could have had a good time here. Probably won't return due to this.
