Lux Lounge — Restaurant in City of Rochester

After having seen a friends human rights violated at a so called "community" "gay" bar on Monroe and then just going over to Lux afterward... I can't stress enough how awesome this place is. Instantly felt welcoming after not being in for a long period. So nice to sit around the fire and have nice people around. There was food being cooked on the grill for NYE. More water out. They really take care of the community as a whole here. The gay bars here in Rochester I can say are not at all good for the whole of the community as they claim and not all up to the caliber of how simplistic it is for the crew at Lux to just simply be a COMMUNITY establishment. Lux is truly a gem in Rochester. They don't have to falsy advertise being one either. They just are. There are only a handful of actual community bars and have to say Lux is the best. The gay bars could take note from Lux as they are truly not welcoming places. Why a good portion of the patrons at Lux are LGBT+. So nice to see such a mix of people with no hang-ups. No real agendas. Just Lux...

This is a great place to hang outside! They have lots of covered outdoor seating, it started to sprinkle while we were there and we didn't even notice. There is also a fire pit. The staff was friendly, we were there early on a Friday night, there was free sheet pizza for anyone to help themselves to. Inside there is a twister type game painted on the floor and some other games scattered about also. There is an interesting crowd here, we enjoyed ourselves and it was great to be outside and have a drink too, they even trust you to bring your drinks outside in a glass, I like that and prefer a glass to a plastic cup! They also use paper straws, they're strong and sturdy and don't become soggy, kudos to caring for the...

First time coming to Lux. Absolutely loved it! Came down for Drunken Pumpkin Party and Artist Hangout hosted by Magnus.

The inner building is large enough to have a nice quiet corner if that's what you're looking for? The bar tender was very attentive and helpful (they do indeed have ketchup)

Whomever did the Halloween decoration did a great job. The outside area is wonderful. It's spacious with good awning coverage. Has a fire pit which was an awesome feature and wood that you can grab from The back fence. Had a great time. Try the warm apple cider. The perfect drink for fall weather. I will be making this bar my...
