Blue Toad Hard Cider NY — Local services in Town of Henrietta

I've always really enjoyed the cider and the service here but one night, in a bar full of people​, 2 mins after they have closed, I encountered my first bad experience with Blue Toad.

Me (white woman) and my boyfriend (Indian man) went to pick up a growler for a party. Admittedly, we got there a few minutes after closing. We walked in, people everywhere, and the bartender informed us they were closed. My boyfriend asked if we can buy a growler, since they were clearly not going anywhere soon, given the amount of people still drinking.

It's a do not miss if close or a...
