B-Side — Restaurant in Town of Perinton

I had a very disturbing experience here last night. Last time I went to this bar it was very fun, the rooftop was open and I loved the atmosphere. This time, I had let the people I was with know that I loved B-Side and told them all night it was a great bar to go to. We make our way there and it was pretty empty, we got inside and planned to use the restroom before we got some drinks. We took one step towards the bathroom and the bartender is saying to us “Don’t go upstairs don’t go upstairs!!” so we go okay can we use the restroom? She says yes. There was a few of us girls, so it was taking us a little longer (typical girls using bathrooms together lol) as we were about to leave the restroom, we hear a knock so loud on the door I almost jumped out of my skin. We all fell silent and the group of us girls were actually scared to leave the bathroom because we didn’t know who was on the other side of the door. We think maybe someone needs to go really bad. We open the door and a woman is on the other side yelling at us “Every single one of you better be buying a drink right now! and not just using MY bathroom” okay is this the owner I thought? She’s practically screaming in our faces and we all usher to the front bar. I was very upset and asking who does that? Who does that to people who come into your bar looking to have a fun time. The same lady very proudly sits down at the bar and says “I do!!”. I told her we were going to buy drinks and hang out but after that interaction I felt threatened and unsafe. I told her we were leaving and that is not how you keep business. I’m still disgusted by this experience and very upset because I truly did love this bar. I hope...

Nice little spot right in the village of Fairport. The inside felt nicer than an average dive bar and the live music was a nice touch. The acoustics were fine but it was a solo artist and not a full band so I didn't get the full experience.

There were some good craft beers on tap as well as familiar options for the less adventurous. The selection of booze covers all categories but if you're looking for something unique or hard to find this isn't the place for that, nor does it try to be. The cocktail list leaned on the sweet/fruity side but wasn't completely one-note.

The food was excellent. We only had one menu staple, the wings. Served in portions of 3 or 6 (pieces include drumstick, wing, and wing tip - so double your order would be considered 6 or 12 elsewhere), the sauce was decently hot, tangy and peppery. The stars of the meal were specials that I hope get added permanently, mahi-mahi and shrimp tacos. The fish was well cooked and covered in jerk seasoning, paired well with a nice mango salsa, rice, and crema, and the shrimp was also delicious (my wife's meal so I can't remember the specifics).

All in all a nice place to enjoy some music,...

Probably my favorite spot in Fairport. Great live music with a lively full crowd, but not an overwhelming one. It's a small intimate venue, not a big stage place. The food is excellent and did an amazing job of still serving the community during the pandemic.

Also, a little hidden easter egg, there is an amazing upstairs bar area that also has outdoor patio seating. It is under utilized, but can be rented out for private events and is perfect for war weather or a place to have drinks and watch the Canal Days and/or Fairport...
