THE SCENE: Irish Bars & Nightclubs

  Legend has it that St. Patrick banished snakes from Ireland while standing on a hilltop holding a wooden staff. By this stance, the snakes were driven into the sea never to return to the emerald isle again. One part left out of the legend is that, while St. Patrick may

THE SCENE: Dicky's reopens

Dicky's, at the corner of Caroline and Meigs streets, is one of those Rochester landmarks that seems to have been around since God was a boy. You can pretty much guarantee someone in Rochester knows somebody who used to hang out at Dicky's back in the day. I certainly do.

THE SCENE: Shooters Sports Bar & Grill

I'll be the first to admit that the extent of my sports knowledge is that I can identify the team I'm watching by the color of their uniforms. So for me, walking into Shooters Sports Bar & Grill, in the Fairport Road space formerly occupied by Baird Road
