A standalone building in a quietish part of the city. Adequate parking lot. Walking distance (1 mile) from the entertainment area in the East End. Large stage elevated about three feet surrounded by barrel bar…

Let's cut to the chase with the finances from my recent visit to The Barrel on a chilly Friday night in late January, arriving around 10 PM. Cover: $15 Initial drink (Whiskey on the rocks): $8 Subsequent drinks…

Obviously YMMV but let’s get the figures out of the way. Note: I came in a Saturday night, early November, at around 11:30pm. Cover: $10 First drink (Tall Genny): $3 Second/third drink (two green tea…

I've gone a couple of times now in the past three months since moving to Rochester from a larger city. Figuring that it was a Saturday and I didn't really know many people yet, I…

Rochester, NY. Friday night. Area seems pretty safe certainly not the ghetto part of Rochester I think more think more the college kid area, sort of in a residential area. Parking lot full but I…

Was in Rochester for business and this is one of two clubs that I visited. Got to the club at about 6:00 pm. The immediate surrounding area doesn't seem to be in that…

I stopped here on a Saturday afternoon, staying until about 7pm. Then I went to Tally Ho across town. Quite a contrast between the two. The Barrel isn't exactly the bottom of, but it's…

I just want to start by saying I’m not a regular at the barrel but it is the goto strip club for me in Rochester. So I had Friday off from work and decided I…

The crowd was a mixed bag. Some really pretty women, as well as some not so good ones. I chatted a while with this brunette, dont quite remember her name. We got on pretty well and…

Made it to the Barrel on a weeknight since I was in the area and a bit burnt out on other upstate clubs. First of all, Barrel is not a dump but it's also not…

Came on a sunday evening. Club was pretty dead. There were 3 dancers working, all very attractive, and a handful of customers sitting at the bar. Not much going on. A huge issue with this…

I stopped in a recent afternoon and met C****, a dancer who just got hired and was going to work her first shift the following night. So I decided to go back the next day…

I was up for a night of oogling and so, to get an early start, I headed for the barrel. They aren't usually high end, but they are open early and reliable if you…

It was a Wednesday afternoon on a fall day, nice outside, a tiny chill in the air. I visited where 1 girl was sitting at the bar and other on stage, another 1-2 girls…

Granted, I haven't been to many clubs, but I'd probably rate this as the worst one I've ever been to. Maybe it's the routine for NY clubs, but not a lot of the girls…

Was in Roch and I always like checking out the local club scene. After reading several reviews here on tuscl of other area clubs, this one seemed like my best bet, and it was conveniently…

This review is based on a 30 minute visit between 8 pm - 9 pm on a Friday night. Sometimes you just had to cut your losses. As I said, arrived on a…

The Barrel is a neighborhood bar with some girls on stage dancing. I visited this bar a decade ago while living in Rochester. On this visit back to the city last week I…

Always a friendly placeto visit. Usually not much more than a drink with a view, but this time it was a little more. Struck up a conversation with L*** at the bar after tipping her…

This place is one of the best strip clubs in the Rochester area. Here's why I think so based on my recent experiences: 1. The girls here are sexy and friendly...every single of them (at least…

After a day at Finger Lakes Casino I decided to check out THE Barrel at about 8:30 on a Fri night. It is located close to downtown Roch. Upon entering,…

Haven't been to the Barrel in a while so I thought I would check it out. I noticed they had done some remodeling though the place was just remodeled when the new owners took over.…

Place wasn't too bad at first. The dancers were alright- nothing great -not awful though.lap dances were 25 each and dancer assumed a tip. Dancers were fairly nice. Had a lap dance which was okay.…

It's definitely time to re-think The Barrel. I've long thought of the club as an OK place with some days better than others, but nothing special. To be honest, most of the dancers in the…

I decided to give The Barrel another chance--actually two chances. I stopped by on a recent Sunday afternoon, then, about two weeks later, early Tuesday evening. Neither is prime time for a strip club, but…
