This is a great bar that offers something for everyone. There are drag shows, food, music, and VIP bottle service. They have super friendly staff and great specials on drinks. There are a ton of TV screens to watch sports, too. The space is also beautiful with huge chandeliers on the ceilings.

Went to drag brunch with DeeDee Dubious, Samantha Vega, LaRoue and Spice. Dubious as an MC was incredible, fun and lively. It was an absolute blast with amazing drag performances, excellent food including vegetarian options, gluten free substitutions, and a super friendly staff. The songs were catchy and fun to dance to. Lots of groups celebrating birthdays and bridal parties. I can't recommend this place enough!

Incredible spot for Drag Brunch, Karaoke, Happy Hour, Trivia or Painting with Eva Flow (personal fave)! Or just night out dancing. So many fun and different themes and activities throughout the week (sign up for the email list to stay in the know). Such an inclusive atmosphere that is always a blast of fun. Every employee is invested in the club's success and it shows. I've never had a sub-par experience here.

I love ROAR. It has something for everyone. We had VIP for my birthday, and Andrew was a gem. He made us feel welcomed and relaxed. He was very attentive and a pure joy. I also loved meeting the great Dee Dee Dubois, who took the time to wish me and my friend a happy birthday. What a great night! Thank you 😊 💓

I'm still under the age of 21, but I try to go here every Saturday night for drag night. And let me tell you!!! The queens? Fabulous! Hans? My favorite dancer EVER! The bartenders? Super accommodating and helped me find the water station when I was still a newbie! The atmosphere? Every time I go I swear there's some new and crazy cool addition to this place, and it blows me away every time! Only problem I've ever run into was a frequent attendee there named Nathan. He would always try to grab me and dance with me, and it didn't matter if I told him no, he'd follow me! But thank God for the security, because everytime I bring it up to them, he ends up getting kicked out! The staff, dancers, and performers are the coolest, kindest, most accommodating people. All the love for them and all the love for ROAR! <3

I love ROAR! Literally my favorite club in Rochester. Tami P is the best bartender ever and I always try to get to her side of the bar if I can! <3 I've been on a busy night where it's packed TIGHT and on nights that you can have a whole section of the dance floor to yourself - worth it every time!! Drink and cover charges are super reasonable, I barely pregame at all (plus the drinks are delicious) and just have a few drinks at the bar. The drag shows are awesome every time and always so varied. The safest club ever and I can wear what I want and dance how I want and just completely vibe!

ROAR really has something for everyone. Come earlier in the days they're open to enjoy a fairly priced tasty meal and generously mixed alcoholic beverage. Come later in the evening to spend time with friends enjoying the shows and dancing the night away. The bartenders and staff are friendly, professional and fun. I have been here several times and will come more often. The community is very welcoming and LGBT positive, this is a safe place with good security.

Definitely check this place out! I have been to several drag shows here and will undoubtedly come back for more. The vibes are great, the drinks are strong, and the staff is wonderful. The queens are funny and charismatic and make the events worth going to.
