Bachelor Forum — Restaurant in City of Rochester

I have to disagree with the previous post in that, the few times I've been at The Bachelor Forum, I found the bartenders to be welcoming, friendly and helpful. Widowed four years ago, I do not get out much so, when I do, it's sometimes uncomfortable. These guys make me feel welcome, more so than any other place I've visited in Rochester. And, to be honest, I've been all over this world and I've found the gay circles in upstate NY to be rather cliquish and unwelcoming to strangers, unless they are on the proverbial prowl. When I was there on a date, a couple years ago, I got all sorts of this kind of attention. Otherwise, when I am alone, I tend to be friendly and sociable but people seem to be leery of friendly strangers. I've even written to this group called "Rams," on two separate occasions, inquiring about their group and it's functions, but no one responds. Perhaps they have enough members. But The Bachelor Forum is a good place as friendly bartenders often break this "ice" I've experienced and I'm looking forward to popping up to Rochester and stopping in for another...

Terrible. I went there after a tragic death. One of the bartenders accused me of "getting wasted and taking someone's jacket" from another patron whose telephone number I stored in my phone. I insisted I did not. He insisted I did. Again, I insisted that I did not. He said, "I saw it with my own eyes." So I contacted the patron and asked if I had his coat and he said, "No". And so I returned to the bar and asked told the General Manager and asked if he could speak to the bartender and have the Owner call me to explain just how and why a member of his staff could accuse someone without absolutely any evidence whatsoever. That requires some sort of explanation and perhaps an apology. I got no such a thing: No phone call. No explanation. Nothing.

Let me also mention that I am also a person of color.

This is why I will never spend my money here again and would not encourage any people of color to do so. That's blatantly and...

Terrible service. You know when the bartender serves everyone around you and doesn't even ask if you want a drink? yeah, expect that at this place. I work hard to earn my money, and when I go out to an establishment and tell friends to go there for an event, I feel that I should be able to at least get served a drink, but apparently the bartenders have selective hearing, or just don't care about certain people. Never going there again, going to spend my dollars at a better establishment like Roar, where you can at least get a drink. Despite apologies from the establishment, when the bartender is busy talking to his friends all night and ignoring his job, yeah that speaks to me and it says this establishment doesn't care about its customer base, only their...
