Ziggy's — Restaurant in City of Rochester

On hearing the owners of Revelry were opening a new "dive" bar, a friend and I went to the first night. Ugh. Ziggy's is a dive bar like Appleby's is a neighborhood bar. The interior had all the charm of a discount tire store but way louder. The weak beer and cocktail selection was higher priced than most places on East Avenue. The food was expensive for the paltry portions served. There was nothing divey, neighborly or original about this place. If Jon Taffer's petit bourgeois creations are your idea of a good watering hole, or Bar Louie seemed authentic to you, this is your place. If you like honest working people's bars, there's fortunately plenty of other excellent mom'n' pop...

If you’re there sitting on your phone, and it’s early in the night, and you’re thinking to yourself, “where am I gonna go tonight?”, and deep down, you know that you actually just want wings, GO TO ZIGGYS. Ziggys features a barrage of kickass, gold metal wings that’ll jump your bones. I’m not kidding you, if I’m on my death bed, and I have 20 minutes to live, then the grim reaper will wait patiently until somebody brings me my ziggy wings, especially the buffalo parm ones. Because even he knows that these are the best wings ever, and Buffalo people I don’t even wanna hear it, I’m from Buffalo....

This place is a goofy girls dream come true. It’s not a bar that takes itself too seriously and doesn’t try too hard to be cool. They have blue cow girl hats, mini beer shots (must try) chicken wing dip, and a rotating frozen cocktail. Not to mention, Pat and Zack (bar managers) will greet you, serve you, and make you feel at home. They have a great selection of really fun events that change monthly, including chicken wing eating competitions, a Nickelodeon night, trivia, etc. A great place to enjoy a bills game, and take some...
