Rochester Mills Beer Co. Review

Great sample platter cool interior and free pool some days worth a trip

I wanted to give this place 3 and 1/2 stars but I couldn't so I gave it three. Solid food and decent beer. Rochester prices .

Really enjoyed this place! Great atmosphere and decent food. Christmas lights in Rochester we amazing. Will go back

My fav is the Michigan salad with salmon. Beer club is outstanding, also ask for rewards card!!!

Good atmosphere, but the beer can be hit or miss (definitely had a skunked Belgian there within the last year), and without fail there's always an overwhelming formeldahyde/ chemically smell whenever I go in. You get used to it but it's honestly very off putting and makes me want to try to avoid returning.

The restaurant has done an excellent job adhering to the reopening guidelines. Tables are spaced and servers all wearing masks. No menus but you can't a barcode with your phone to see the menu options. Will be my go to restaurant.

Cheerful service. The cheese soup was delicious. The walleye was excellent.

Still like this place... but, concerned if they can survive this pandemic... I hope they can. One of the few family resturants with music and can serve alchohol.... I had plenty a fun night there.

Good local beer selection. Plenty of space for groups, and pool tables available

My food was good and my kids loved the Mac and cheese.

Hometown Brewery! Historical building set in downtown Rochester, MI has indoor and outdoor seating areas to enjoy a great meal and brewed on site beers. Great place to hang out with friends!

Their milkshakes bring all of the boys to the yard... their Blueberry Pancake stout is one amazing beer. So is their coffeee stout. You could say that I'm obsessed with their beer.

Have been coming here more regularly lately. Nothing to complain about. Consistently good food and the service is good as well... I really like the atmosphere here, although, when busy it can bea wee bit noisy. I'm sure it's not for everybody but that's my take...

The atmosphere was a little noisy, but the food and service were both very good. A good chance to sample some locally brewed beer.

Good food but noise is very high for a bar. Could have a better acustics.

It's decent for a pub and I have enjoyed it previously but today not so much. Avoid it on Sundays if you can. The macaroni and cheese is watery and disappointing. Their clam chowder tastes like beer cheese soup and the bread bowl they serve it in really isn't the right kind of bread or consistency. The beer is great and the main reason we come here, the service is pretty good as is the parking. The food needs work.

Very good food and drinks to be had here, the wait is worth it. There's a reason why they are always busy

Bring back Thai pizza please goes nice with lazy daze

Poor staff service, and I found a hair in my food. I wanted to like this place, but I guess not.

I like this bar because it's big and usually filled with people. The food is great. The entertainment is great. And it's got a nice big dance floor And its just a lot of fun. I especially like it when the band( My Dog Skip ) place there! And a great variety and choice of beers is also a plus!

Food was food. Waited 15 minutes to get our bill. During this time we watched our waiter hitting on a girl at the bar and instead of coming to check on his customers.

It does not matter how good your food and drinks are if your staff is rude.

Great beer, burgers and more! Love their patio in the summer time!

Try the seasonal beers. Most of them are fantastic.

Food and service were great, no complaints. The place was packed and obviously popular.

Greet beer and great food with centrally pretty good service and had a nice patio

I hated that they let people on the dance floor with drinks and spilling the drinks over other dancers!

Great place, too loud at times. They need carpet or window treatments to absorb sound.

Great ambiance! Food, beer, pool tables, occasional live performances and massive floor space.

This was our first time here and I was blown away by the staff and their knowledge. I quizzed them about the mug club and they answered all my questions.
After waiting only 20 minutes or so to sit down we were greeted be our server Greg. He was only of the best servers I have every had. He had great recommendations for food and was knowledgeable of the dishes.
The whole experience was amazing and we will definitely be back! Thank you for the exceptional customer service!

I went here to celebrate my birthday. Wonderful environment and our waitress was VERY friendly. Our food wasn't out in a timely manner because one of our orders had to be redone (and unfortunately, no one told us) and my salmon was slightly over-cooked but the beer was absolutely fantastic! I would still try this place again (especially for the seasonal beers). Hopefully they won't be out of calamari next time.

Nice place...better not drink however the downtown routch cops will find an excuse to pull you over...better to avoid downtown rochester all together...it's just a giant speed trap slash patrol zone for the cops...if you do have to enter the kill zone make sure your car has all its lights working...

Great food, drinks and staff. Staple of the Rochester area

Always love this place, but especially during COVID. They are doing a great job making it safe to dine in and see my sister perform with her band.

Love it great beer great food. Thursday are awesome

Tasty food, decent beer, fun venue.
I particularly enjoy their seafood dishes. Faves of mine are the surf and turf pasta, and the seasonal fish fillets.
The live music on the weekend evenings is a good time.

The saving grace would be the craft beers. We ordered the "fresh ground" Buffalo burgers, they tasted like they were frozen for a long time, bland and had a horrid aftertaste. The buns were cold. I've had Buffalo burgers before and these were subpar.

The fries on the other hand were fantastic, beer was great.

I've had the salmon there before a couple years back and it was excellent. I don't know if it was an off day, bad patties or if their standards fell.

Damn shame.

Excellent food, great service (even when busy), awesome atmosphere. I will go back!! Sweet potato fries were the best I ever tried.

Tried 4 of their beers. All sucked. Food is good, but the wheat, red, their IPA and even the lager were all lousy.

I travel for a living and like to try local craft beers. I can't find a Milkshake Blonde anywhere that comes close to the flavor. By far my personal favorite beer.

The food was good, but the beers were so-so with the exception of their milkshake stouts, especially the Red Velvet Cake stout.

Amazingly tasty beer and food! Great atmosphere with pool tables and the patio. Love it!

lots of options and their rochester red is great...nice go to you can get anywhere in the state. food is decent, little pricy but good. large space for parties, load, good location.

Good place to eat if your from out of town heavy Rochester vibes

This place is always busy because the food and drinks are perfect! You have to try the beer cheese soup. Service is always good and the atmosphere is great!

The food is good and they are always supporting local events. They also have a room that can be rented out for larger parties/gatherings

Very nice set up. Low tables, high tops, couches and bar seating. A nice menu and of course many beer and liquor options.

Consistent great operating food with excellent beers

Good atmosphere. Live bands every weekend. Good good and beer selection.

it's all right place. It has a very historical appearance to the outside and it's just a walk from the main strip on downtown so it's easily accessible to. The inside is usually crowded to the point where you walking sideways between chairs which is not particularly helpful but the stuff is really nice. There's unfortunately not much in the way of parking is so you will most likely have to park further away and walk or have to pay for parking and constantly check your time to make sure you haven't run over the meter. it has a nice setting though, and I always see people going to the gardens around it to take photos for prom or weddings or stuff

The food was subpar, and the service was atrocious. My fish & chips was more like fish sticks, and my wife's $30 steak was burned. We were there for almost 3 hours, due to slow waitstaff, and they weren't busy. I would not recommend this place.

Great food and large seating, good for groups. Sometimes service can be a little slow and parking is tight but the food and beer is great.

Great place. Good food and beer. Close to sons house. Will be back

Food ok, service terrible, maybe better at night when band comes on great place if your single to meet up with regular locals, if that's your thing.

Excellent local beers. Had a very good Cobb Salad. Truly classical historic architecture.

Great place! Size, ambiance and selection. Will be back.

Nice atmosphere and good beer at a decent price. Will definitely go back.

Great food, great beer. 4 dollar glasses and 6 growler fill ups on tuesday and thursday.

At every points of your experience, from the general manager who greeted me at the door to the bartender who made sure I had the perfect beer to go with my super wonderful calamari order, this is one of the top restaurants in the entire area!

Decent food. Very loud, hard to have a conversation.

Great place to go with the family. Good food and beer.
