Drinks & Nightlife
Wine bar at ground level (M-Sat). Venture to the second floor (I believe only Fri-Sat) and find the most unique, talked about hidden gem in Rochester - Cheshire. Craft cocktails that put you in a different time.

I love this place. Four minute walk. Go left out the door, right at the end of the street, just past the gas station. Great west-facing patio, big picnic benches. Small, inexpensive menu but really great food.
