Each year, we get together to select Rochester’s Top 10 restaurants and bars. Many of the picks are conveniently located near the James W. Foley Memorial Community Center and the Rochester Public Library—making it easy to pair an afternoon of arts and culture with a great meal and drink. After exploring the exhibits, we encourage you to support our local economy by stopping into one of these standout establishments.
Looking for even more to explore? Discover additional restaurants, retail shops, and services by visiting the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce at 18 South Main Street, or learn more online at www.rochesternh.org.
