Always enjoy this spot. Food is good, staff is great and dollar value exceptional. The only drawback to my latest visit was wait time at the bar for service. A 2 hr wait for a table was bearable but too few staff behind the bar made getting a drink quite a challenge.
They told us a 10/15 minute wait we ended up waiting over an hour first time coming here never got seated left definitely never coming back
A fun summer place on the river. Decent food, sometimes a Jimmy Buffet - margaritaville environment.
Good selection of food, drinks are reasonable, great view
Very nice we got seated quickly with party of (6) good music and food
If the lack of service we received tonight is a sign of the season to come we will not be back. What a shame since our boat is here.
We started at the bar with no complaints and enjoyed the live music.
We requested a table from the hostess and for 20 minutes watched every server walk by us with not even a hello or a smile. We brought our own order to the bar. Slowly the entries were brought out one by one from the unfriendly kitchen staff, one of our party received his order well after everyone finished eating.
Maybe it was an off night or just training of new staff, but honestly if I was the owner I would be ashamed and embarrassed to charge you, but charged full price.
Truly hope the season brings us better, if not it will be a shame and another loss on the river.
Hah the girls suck.. no ketchup no straws? How do you forget these things when you deliver to the table? How about a 10 minute wait to get a refill and flag someone down... first and last time here.. i asked for an umbrella for are table girl says that the table doesn't take one... really why does every other table/ the same one have an umbrella? Just tell me that you don't have one ? Other than these things the place is GREAT!! NOT
Outdoor riverside seating is pretty good, and super convenient if you're in a pandemic and indoor seating is limited :-)
It's a great place for an out door beer and comfort food
Very nice atmosphere. A little slow on service. I asked about gluten free and the waitress had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. My meal was excellent I had salmon
My new favorite place on the Genesee! Dawn & Skip Shumway have assembled an excellent staff to serve you the best food & drinks!
We have a Schooners down here in Panama City Beach, Florida which is THE restaurant on the beach, So my brother took me to schooners at the lake, It was excellent, I even bought the t shirt.
Schooners is the best place to eat,drink and relax in Roc for the summer, rain or shine !!!
Nachos were basically ball park nachos with stale chips and that nasty liquid cheese and beers were $9 for beer that costs $7 max anywhere else. Fish and chips was decent so I wasn t going to mention anything but $9 hayburners so here we are. Bar a couple hundred feet away had the same exact beer for $6.25. Its sad but Honestly could have gotten better food at bill grays. Don t waste your money
The food is good and when you done eatin you can get you a drink
Nice outdoor seating overlooking the mighty Genesee.
Great restaurant! Visiting from out of town and wanted a fish n chips place on the water. This place has the best food prices, kid friendly, adult beverages and has two tiered patio right on the water where the ducks came by and greeted us. We seriously drove around and called all other places in the area and this is the winner! Jessica was our server and she was attentive and kind.
Sitting by the genesee river out on the deck watching the boats go by.
Great place to hang out and drink by the water. Food is OK, I wouldn't expect anything to be overly good. Its mostly good as bar food. I definitely wouldnt go here as a romantic date on the water.
Only downside is wish they were open longer. Thumbs up
Stopped on for drinks and dinner...ordered 2 drinks a cheeseburger with mac salad , a cheeseburger wrap which came with chips....the cheeseburger was a processed frozen burger which was waaaaay over cooked and small for $12 and the Mac salad was disgustingly nasty taste. The cheeseburger wrap was waaaay over cooked and dry with no flavor at all for $12.99. Wait staff was ok. View is always good but they really need to improve on their menu and cooking ! Wont ever eat here again. Over priced and bad food.
Pleasant surroundings. Good view. Friendly service. Nice food selections.
Charged 4.25 for bud light. Was supposed to be 2$ for rally river event. Besides , 4.25$ for a low quality domestic?
Sea food, live music very good and excellent atmosphere
My guy was hassled by a worker there about a mask. We were at a table and no one else had a mask on he told my guy to leave and was very sarcastic/unfriendly
Great place to go see live music and have some steamed clams! Service was great.
I grew up in West Irondequoit and I loved going. To this place to have a good time. We were leaving and the bouncer decided to assualt my friend calling him names and shoved him when he was walking away. If he was a bouncer at a downtown bar he would be in jail.
Sad that they are only open seasonally but best seafood in Rochester. I love the atmosphere
Unless you are a cute blonde or a friend of the bartenders plan on waiting or yelling to try and get anything at the bar. Get. It. Together.
Schooners is the best place to be in the summer!! Great food and prices
A wonderful nautical setting right on the river. A full menu... And a great bar. I bring my grandkids, and they play in the sandbox.
Great bar with band by the water. Mostly older croud.
Just before closing for the season so did not have all menu items. Understandable. Beautiful scenery and what we had was very good. Will go again next year in season.
Disappointed as this restaurant came on the recommendation of a friend and it really could be a great place due to the location. Food is not very good and the place just seemed dirty. The "sand box" for kids is just a bad idea--it adds to the dirty feel of the place and on the day we went, it was nothing more than a dumping ground for parents who had no interest in attending to their kids. We were originally seated at a table by the sand box and moved ourselves after the same unruly, unattended to child threw sand on our table for the third time ruining our drinks. The child was probably no more than 2, and even though we alerted the mom twice, she seemed more interested in cocktails with the girls than parenting and had complete disregard for other diners...the staff also did not seem to care. We went with our young children, so it is not like we are "those" adults who get unnerved around kids. The sand pit is just gross. I wouldn't go back...had a much better experience at the Pelican's Nest across the way--it is much cleaner & the food is better as is the view!
Best place to go and watch bartenders look at the floor. Don't expect to be served unless you yell at them.
Food was great atmosphere was great beer was nice and cold!!!
Very busy place with an unusually long wait time. It's nice to be able to have a drink while you wait for your table for sure! 4 stars because there simply isn't enough seafood on the menu, and for the location and atmosphere, it's almost necessary to have some soft of fish sandwich.
Most of the servers are great, the wraps are fantastic! Live music almost every day! Definitely worth going to! Also has docking spots available if you come by boat!!!
Great...ill be back for the kaitliyn and the Jameson...any one complaining is crazy and clearly have never been to a busy bar before!
Took a ride by boat for dinner and were met by family who drove. We always enjoyed the Caesar salad there. No longer on the menu. Decided to try new items and ordered Philly Chicken sandwich, Taco bowl, and chicken finger and fries. Every part of each meal was BLAND and over cooked. No flavor. Dry chicken. The Taco bowl lacked any taco seasoning. Service was average to slow with awareness on need for drink refills. Very disappointed as we looked forward to visiting here after a rough season due to the water issues. Sad to say, we won t be back. Over 50$ spent, left so disappointed, we are still talking about it the next day.
Extremely difficult to find and GPS told me to do a U-turn, but once I got there the service and food was good. Nice location on the river but behind the Marina.
Arguably my favorite bar in Rochester. Dock your boat hop out and chill.
Great place to eat and drink by the water...the pot roast poutine is delicious!!
Drinks were delicious but food was not. Very greasy, oil needs to be changed. Cod fish didn t have any flavor and fries were bland.
Great bat on the water.. drinks were good and food was decent
Love Schooners for afternoon lunch or dinner for the Sunset.
Enjoyed Paul Strowe and chatting with high school friends.Lobster roll sandwich quite tasty as well
A little pricey, and the food was super salty, but the live music was nice.
I had the fish taco wrap. Really good! Good price, good service, great view.
Always delicious, always a great place for a drink. Love it here.
Took forever to get the food. But it was delicious.
This place was fantastic! The food was awesome and reasonably priced. The portion sizes were perfect. The atmosphere was fun and light there was live music. Service was outstanding!
They only serve locals. Sat waiting for a beer 5 minutes while 3 yes 3 bartenders talked about nothing to their friends. While some old fat guy next to me has a salt gun shooting flies while at the bar.
Great live music every night of the week. Right on the river. Amazing deck. Good clientele. Great views
Great service and food was awesome! Very relaxed atmosphere rite on the water . Feels like you are on vacation !
Wow I've done a lot of of reviews on wings in Rochester and my top choice has always been the dinosaur. "Not the case anymore" we came here for food and drinks and as always I had to get wings.They offer them deep-fried smoked and grilled. I got smoked and grilled with the gold sauce unbelievable.... I can't say enough good things. This cook did an outstanding job.
No place better on a summer night. Good service and fun music.
Always love it there everyone is sooooo friendly no matter what time you go just wish it was summer time year round so I can enjoy there all the time
Not only was all of the food delicious but also after my license was blown off the table and through a crack on the deck the employees worked so hard to get it back. They called up the owner and used a dingy from the marina to get underneath the deck and grab it. Everyone was so friendly and reassuring and did a fantastic job helping me get it back! I would 100% recommend dining here!
Eating their food is a craps hoot. All depends on who is cooking. On saturday I ate there and had the Cajun Jack blt. It was amazing. In fact it was so good I called and order one to go on Monday evening. This one was awful, under cooked and the foccia bread was soggy..
Great summer fun! Bands are always an added bonus to the atmosphere.
Love this place. U can get there by car or boat. Quaint little place with live music early most every day.
Band was way too loud, fries were way over cooked, servers were standing around missed drink refills. Smoked chicken was amazing though.
Went for a boat ride and ended up here. We found the food and drinks superb.
Great casual place. The music was great. Service was excellent! Food was basic but good.
Great restaurant! Visiting from out of town and wanted a fish n chips place on the water. This place has the best food prices, kid friendly, adult beverages and has two tiered patio right on the water where the ducks came by and greeted us.

Some things were confusing but, I ended up having a nice time anyway!
They are located on the water and only open during the summer, great place to go on a sunny hot day! You can get food here, nothing fancy but all the bar menu favorites. The drink prices are expensive, $5 for a budlight draft, solo cup size! There was a Blackheart rum special for $5. If it's raining they do have shelter, but limited.
Good food with good views. Friendly staff. Can dick your boat here and come eat or drink at the large bar.
Fun place on the Genesee River. Good food and service. Enjoyed the live band!
The French Dip was very dry and had no flavor. However the drinks were good and the musician was great too.
Don t say your open if you closed. Unprofessional. Thanks.
