Fun, clean, great staff. This place is brand new and they already have it figured out. Their cocktail menu is well put together with some pretty creative drinks. $10 each. All our drinks were great. A little more than I like to pay, but on part for the down town area. They’re open mornings for coffee and breakfast food. Each day they have one dinner option which is different daily. There is lots of bar seating an tables are also available. Everything is clearly thought-though and well done, I love it. I’d never been in the metropolitan building before going there, it’s a cool place, very modern and clean. The bar is off to the side, creating it’s open space. Their hours are a bit strange, I’d like to see them extended and they did mention that they plan to be open longer in the future. The bar had a “professional people’s” vibe to it, I didn’t go dressed down during the day. I will go back for sure.

The service at Bar Bantam was phenomenal. I ordered an expresso and The Metro Tower. My favorite part of breakfast was the crispy potato rosti!

Great open space to have a group of friends on a weekend. Food isn’t served after 10pm on the weekend, and is a unique blend of tastes. Specialty drinks are available, and are different as the names they go by.

Bar Bantam is an excellent lunch spot in the heart of downtown Rochester. You will find Bar Bantom in the atrium of the Chase tower downtown.

We hosted an event here for 150 student members and the entire staff was incredible. From co-owners Max and Chris to bartenders Alex, Austin, and Grace, the service was excellent, drinks were tasty, and the atmosphere and proximity to our conference were great. If you are looking for an upscale bar in downtown, I highly recommend this one!

Excellent drink selection especially if you enjoy whiskey or bourbon. French press coffee is fantastic as well. Would be cool to see some vegan options on the menu.
