	+ ------ + ''2017-11-16 21:30:25'' [[nbsp]] I am no hipster and have never felt out of place. Friends and I like to go for happy hour on Friday and love that there is pizza, etc. People are always friendly and I have never felt unwelcome. A great option for anyone who likes a cocktail that doesn't require bitters, muddled fruit, or other above and beyond ingredients. + --["Users/smlusk"]

	+ ------ + ''2014-02-17 07:34:21'' [[nbsp]] It's a pretty decent bar. Very "hipster" so if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably won't like Lux. I don't go to bars to meet people though so I don't really care either way as long as people are chill and not too loud. I really like the backyard. I think that's the best part about Lux. The liquor and beer selection is pretty standard but the backyard in the warm weather is really what sets this place apart. --["Users/RochFoodie"]

The drinks are cheap but the selection is really poor. The interior is pretty cool. I can only assume the point of the place is to get rather drunk and just sit around or shout at your drunk friends.I get the feeling it has a regular crowd but I'm not clear why people who keep coming back. --["Users/eklie"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-02-24 16:50:41'' [[nbsp]] I've been here a couple times, and part of me loves it and part of me hates it. The atmosphere is fun, especially outside by the firepit, and if you can find a place to sit inside, the board games are great. However, the bartenders are all assholes. Terrible service as well. I get it, you're busy, but you've looked at me five times and the money in my hands should tell you I want to order a drink. + + One night I didn't have too much cash, so I decided to take a trip to Lux since they are known for their lowish prices. I rarely drink PBR (for obvious reasons) but I know what it's supposed to taste like. Their supply was clearly skunked, and I told them that it was bad. Their response was "what do you expect for a buck fifty?" For $1.50 I'm not expecting Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, but I am expecting a beer that is fresh enough that I can drink it without smelling the aroma of a rotting corpse. I had some bad beer in my life, but I couldn't even drink 1/4 of this can before I gave it to a random drunkard outside (who was happy to drink a free beer, skunky or not). + + Give the bartenders some etiquette training and a course in proper customer service, and Lux would be great. As it is, I'd much rather go to Lovin' Cup or Tap & Mallet. The staff at both establishments are top notch, and the beer selection is FAR superior. --["Users/ChrisScholz"]

- ''2005-09-16 12:39:41'' [[nbsp]] Is it "Lux" or "the Lux"? I think it's the former but the latter is in pretty common usage. Exercise for the reader: Draw comparisons to the use of the definite article to describe Southern Californian highways. --["TobinFricke"] - * I think people saying "the Lux" stems from it being ''the'' __Lux Lounge__. --["RobertPolyn" RP] - * And for the other, it is likely stemming from the sign on the front, which just bears "Lux." They seem to go by both. --["HeatherYager"] - ------ - ''2005-11-15 21:53:00'' [[nbsp]] One of my favorites. Chopstix is a sweetheart and makes the best Bloody Mary in town. I have friends who feel uncomfortable here because the vibe is too "hipster." Yikes! I always feel at home here. I'm not quite the black-framed glasses wearing Sarte-toting bohemian that some of these people are, but I don't ever feel out of place. Lux welcomes diversity. Plus they have the best juke box in town, no doubt about it. I would like to see a larger draught beer selection, though. I'd say add another five taps and have some rotating seasonal beers. If they did that I'd never leave. --["MariahBetz"] - ------ - ''2006-02-16 16:30:37'' [[nbsp]] A+++........as far as i can tell, it is the ONLY bar in rochester......christians are welcome too..... --["SiMonster"] - ------ - ''2006-04-05 18:08:34'' [[nbsp]] I felt kind of uncomfortable there. I guess it's just not my kind of place. I went for the cheap Pabst but quickly realized I was the only person with my original hair color and no piercings or tattoos. Could have just been that one night. --["MattDana"] - ------ - ''2006-04-08 17:48:18'' [[nbsp]] Matt, I feel your pain. I love the place, but since it's the only thing in it's ecological niche, I think is a bit overblown sometimes. --["FarMcKon"] - ------ - ''2006-04-10 01:08:09'' [[nbsp]] Maybe I haven't been frequently enough (or have been too tipsy to notice) but Lux seemed pretty inviting to me (except for the lighting), and I'm about as conventional as they come. --["JonRobins"] - ------ - ''2006-06-28 07:38:58'' [[nbsp]] A+ A great bar with great beer and great prices. The whole look and feel is unique. The jukebox is awesome, the non-internet and inexpensive classic variety. The selection is amazing. Pretentious...didn't notice it! The people were cool and the bartenders were nice. Yes, there are piercing and tattoos galore, but thankfully, the white hats and the bling are missing. --["CarlGo"] - ------ - ''2006-09-20 19:58:43'' [[nbsp]] Favorite bar in town, with an amazing jukebox, friendly bartenders, and cheap drinks to boot. Could use a dartboard though. --["DanielMiner"] - ------ - ''2006-09-22 18:36:54'' [[nbsp]] My favorite bar in Rochester: down to earth bartenders, good drink prices, young and local scene and an open minded group. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2007-02-05 09:33:04'' [[nbsp]] cheap drink prices. laid back atmostphere. good place to go, esp, if your not from around here and are used to better bars. --["NjTourist"] - ------ - ''2007-03-30 22:03:52'' [[nbsp]] Lux is alot of fun. I enjoy the atmosphere and the staff is great. I also think they have one of the hottest bartenders in town ;) The Lux bonfire in the summer is fabulous. --["KimBee"] - ------ - ''2007-05-17 15:01:49'' [[nbsp]] Great bar..only place I know where you can get pbr cans for $1.50 --["MetalFrost"] - ------ - ''2007-05-25 16:00:39'' [[nbsp]] I was at Lux and they've painted the inside. Actually it looks nicer, they've gone with matching shades of purple (kind of a dark lilac) and green and it compliments the red nicely. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2007-06-02 20:29:08'' [[nbsp]] I believe I've officially seen this place listed as "The Lux Lounge" but nicknamed "Lux" - - great jukebox (any one with the full version of Disco Inferno means a great bar) - - great patio - - bartenders don't respond well to early high tippers --["RorisonMeadows"] - ------ - ''2007-10-17 18:32:29'' [[nbsp]] Couple of things about Lux: - a) If its super busy, turn around and leave. The bartenders will serve their friends and regulars and ignore everyone else. - b) This is not one of the cheapest bars in Rochester unless your beer of choice is PBR in the can. Everything else is average to a bit above average priced. - - This is a good bar that could use some better employee management. I do love the back lawn, and its a great place to meet new and interesting people. --["DarrenKemp"] - ------ - ''2007-12-11 17:23:57'' [[nbsp]] Lux is laid back and blissfully lacking in the pretentious Alexander Street crowd. I love the random assortment of people (from hipsters to U of R professors to middle aged bikers), entertaining decor, and backyard bonfire. I wish drinks were a bit cheaper, but it's the only bar I've found with such a tolerable atmosphere, so I deal. --["ChelseaAllinger"]	+ [http://rocwiki.org/Wiki_Settings/Images?sendfile=true&file=talkicon.png] '''See ["Lux/Comments" Archive Page] for comments prior to 2008.'''

	+ ------ + ''2009-09-13 00:07:07'' [[nbsp]] I'll start out by saying that I like Lux. They've got an interesting theme and many of the patrons are interesting and worth talking to. + + That said, I'm not a fan of the current bartenders. Tonight they took my drink when I was away from the bar for 90 seconds, and it was still 1/3 full. I waited for 10 minutes and made eye contact with several of the bartenders to try to order another, and they clearly saw and ignored me. I know that Saturday night is busy, but the wait was ridiculous. I eventually left (and left a credit card) because I got the sense that the bar staff had no interest in me at all. I'll go back tomorrow to clear things up, but I might be done with Lux at this point. + + I used to go to Lux fairly often, but don't much anymore. I guess since I'm not a cool "regular" they think it's appropriate to ignore me. I'm happy to reciprocate. I guess I'm not cool/punk enough for them. That's fine with me. + + Goodbye Lux! You were great in your early years. --["Users/GrahamSaathoff"]

For example, try wildly spinning the chex mix bowl in a circle. Or start rifling through the garnish container. Here's an even better one: Make a paper airplane out of a dollar bill and send it flying into one of the bartenders. Be creative with your harassment. They love it! --["Users/MariahBetz"]

Went on a recent busy night, bartender serves the guy to the right of me, the guy to the left of me, the new guy to the right of me, the new girl to the left of me, this went on for roughly 10 minutes until I said "excuse me" to which I was given a glare and a snippy "I'll get to you." Same week, different night, friend tries to get a drink, asks the barback if he can let the bartender know he is waiting (non busy night) after 20 minutes, barback replies "I can't help you" and walks off. Unless you regularily go to this bar or are related to the bartenders you can expect bad service. --["Users/DarrenKemp"]

Paid three different prices, and got three totally different variations/strengths of the same drink. Wait for a drink was not bad once I got to the bar, but the high backed barstools get placed off from the bar and create walls that you can't get through to reach the bar. Snotty customers make me feel like slapping people. Great bar for smokers with the enormous backyard. I feel sorry for whoever has to pick up all those butts. As a non-smoker though I try to stay out of the back. You will go home smelling like smoke from all the cigs and the firepit. + AWESOME JUKEBOX, plenty of great music. + bad positioning on the pooltable. Traffic out the backdoor makes it nearly unplayable.

For merely suggesting that people seeks out alternative information on 911 conspiracies (that is, evidence and logical calls that refute the silly claims), I was instantly deemed to be a Secret Service spy and subjected to harassment. One of the pathetic 911 freaks even had the barback take a picture of me, and the barback (blonde woman, who apparently can only serve beer) didn't have a problem with that. She took a picture of me and handed the camera back to Squeaky Fromme (we all know her real name). + + The barback's action was offensive, inappropriate, rude and unprofessional. I mean, is there ANY instance in which it's OK for a bar worker to take a picture of a patron without the patron's consent?

Often described as one of the cheapest bars in Rochester, it has a great atmosphere too. It's the type of place you would think of as typical in a city like Portland or NYC, but in Rochester it's one of a kind. While a lot of bars work hard to draw in bands or crowds, Lux Lounge works just as hard to create a laid-back atmosphere where you can have a few drinks, and still have a good conversation over the music. - - There aren't too many places you'll be able to find that have an arts & crafts night and serve drinks. During the warmer months of the year, enjoy their benches and comfortable hammock out back. During the rest of the year, huddle round the fire or play board games inside. The jukebox selection is phenomenal, always seeming to hit the right songs at the right moment. - - Check out the [http://www.lux666.com/specials weekly specials] on the Lux website. - - [[Comments]] - - * Althought I love the place, I have to give it about a B+, for reasons explaned quite well at [http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/9575/ Beer Advocate's review] -["FarMcKon"] - * A++ -["TobinFricke"] - * Purdy but pretentious, I give it a B+ (would be lower but it is serving a niche in ROC) - ["AnthonyRudgick"] - * A-.. it's okay. one of the better rochester bars. i prefer ["The Old Toad"] -- ["RyahDahl"] - * A+ Probably my favorite bar in the city... You can get a drink and play some Trivial Pursuit and not get sweat wiped on you by some asshole wearing too much hair gel and a shirt that exposes his chest hair --["JayUnnikrishnan"] - * B- . Yes, Lux is quirky, but to me it feels like Halloween-costume quirky, dressing itself up in conspicuous demonic ways. Maybe in ten years or so it will have grown into itself a bit, and gotten a bit dirtier and gotten over the whole 666-devil-red thing. I resent Lux for being the only bar of its freaky sort in Rochester, but go there anyway because it is the only bar of its freaky sort. So I can't really grade it too poorly. --["HeatherYager"] - ------ - ''2005-09-16 12:39:41'' [[nbsp]] Is it "Lux" or "the Lux"? I think it's the former but the latter is in pretty common usage. Exercise for the reader: Draw comparisons to the use of the definite article to describe Southern Californian highways. --["TobinFricke"] - * I think people saying "the Lux" stems from it being ''the'' __Lux Lounge__. --["RobertPolyn" RP] - * And for the other, it is likely stemming from the sign on the front, which just bears "Lux." They seem to go by both. --["HeatherYager"] - ------ - ''2005-11-15 21:53:00'' [[nbsp]] One of my favorites. Chopstix is a sweetheart and makes the best Bloody Mary in town. I have friends who feel uncomfortable here because the vibe is too "hipster." Yikes! I always feel at home here. I'm not quite the black-framed glasses wearing Sarte-toting bohemian that some of these people are, but I don't ever feel out of place. Lux welcomes diversity. Plus they have the best juke box in town, no doubt about it. I would like to see a larger draught beer selection, though. I'd say add another five taps and have some rotating seasonal beers. If they did that I'd never leave. --["MariahBetz"] - ------ - ''2006-02-16 16:30:37'' [[nbsp]] A+++........as far as i can tell, it is the ONLY bar in rochester......christians are welcome too..... --["SiMonster"] - ------ - ''2006-04-05 18:08:34'' [[nbsp]] I felt kind of uncomfortable there. I guess it's just not my kind of place. I went for the cheap Pabst but quickly realized I was the only person with my original hair color and no piercings or tattoos. Could have just been that one night. --["MattDana"] - ------ - ''2006-04-08 17:48:18'' [[nbsp]] Matt, I feel your pain. I love the place, but since it's the only thing in it's ecological niche, I think is a bit overblown sometimes. --["FarMcKon"] - ------ - ''2006-04-10 01:08:09'' [[nbsp]] Maybe I haven't been frequently enough (or have been too tipsy to notice) but Lux seemed pretty inviting to me (except for the lighting), and I'm about as conventional as they come. --["JonRobins"] - ------ - ''2006-06-28 07:38:58'' [[nbsp]] A+ A great bar with great beer and great prices. The whole look and feel is unique. The jukebox is awesome, the non-internet and inexpensive classic variety. The selection is amazing. Pretentious...didn't notice it! The people were cool and the bartenders were nice. Yes, there are piercing and tattoos galore, but thankfully, the white hats and the bling are missing. --["CarlGo"] - ------ - ''2006-09-20 19:58:43'' [[nbsp]] Favorite bar in town, with an amazing jukebox, friendly bartenders, and cheap drinks to boot. Could use a dartboard though. --["DanielMiner"] - ------ - ''2006-09-22 18:36:54'' [[nbsp]] My favorite bar in Rochester: down to earth bartenders, good drink prices, young and local scene and an open minded group. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2007-02-05 09:33:04'' [[nbsp]] cheap drink prices. laid back atmostphere. good place to go, esp, if your not from around here and are used to better bars. --["NjTourist"] - ------ - ''2007-03-30 22:03:52'' [[nbsp]] Lux is alot of fun. I enjoy the atmosphere and the staff is great. I also think they have one of the hottest bartenders in town ;) The Lux bonfire in the summer is fabulous. --["KimBee"] - ------ - ''2007-05-17 15:01:49'' [[nbsp]] Great bar..only place I know where you can get pbr cans for $1.50 --["MetalFrost"] - ------ - ''2007-05-25 16:00:39'' [[nbsp]] I was at Lux and they've painted the inside. Actually it looks nicer, they've gone with matching shades of purple (kind of a dark lilac) and green and it compliments the red nicely. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2007-06-02 20:29:08'' [[nbsp]] I believe I've officially seen this place listed as "The Lux Lounge" but nicknamed "Lux" - - great jukebox (any one with the full version of Disco Inferno means a great bar) - - great patio - - bartenders don't respond well to early high tippers --["RorisonMeadows"] - ------ - ''2007-10-17 18:32:29'' [[nbsp]] Couple of things about Lux: - a) If its super busy, turn around and leave. The bartenders will serve their friends and regulars and ignore everyone else. - b) This is not one of the cheapest bars in Rochester unless your beer of choice is PBR in the can. Everything else is average to a bit above average priced. - - This is a good bar that could use some better employee management. I do love the back lawn, and its a great place to meet new and interesting people. --["DarrenKemp"] - ------ - ''2007-12-11 17:23:57'' [[nbsp]] Lux is laid back and blissfully lacking in the pretentious Alexander Street crowd. I love the random assortment of people (from hipsters to U of R professors to middle aged bikers), entertaining decor, and backyard bonfire. I wish drinks were a bit cheaper, but it's the only bar I've found with such a tolerable atmosphere, so I deal. --["ChelseaAllinger"] - ------ - ''2008-02-01 08:53:27'' [[nbsp]] Pros: Nice atmosphere, especially in the back patio. And the patio has a fire going in the winter, which is great. Decent prices. - - Cons: Lousy beer selection year-round. The music is too loud inside for conversation. --["OwenThompson"] - ------ - ''2008-02-22 23:00:38'' [[nbsp]] Ordered the same drink on a friday night from three different bartenders. Paid three different prices, and got three totally different variations/strengths of the same drink. Wait for a drink was not bad once I got to the bar, but the high backed barstools get placed off from the bar and create walls that you can't get through to reach the bar. Snotty customers make me feel like slapping people. Great bar for smokers with the enormous backyard. I feel sorry for whoever has to pick up all those butts. As a non-smoker though I try to stay out of the back. You will go home smelling like smoke from all the cigs and the firepit. - AWESOME JUKEBOX, plenty of great music. - bad positioning on the pooltable. Traffic out the backdoor makes it nearly unplayable. They should take it out and put in a couple dartboards instead. - Bucket of condoms by the front door makes me think it's a place where you can easily find a hook-up... that is totally insecure and writes bad poetry. - - --["JoeBeef"] - ------ - ''2008-03-07 04:48:45'' [[nbsp]] If you have problems with the silly thoroughly debunked 911 conspiracy mumbo-jumbo, this bar is probably not for you. For merely suggesting that people seeks out alternative information on 911 conspiracies (that is, evidence and logical calls that refute the silly claims), I was instantly deemed to be a Secret Service spy and subjected to harassment. One of the pathetic 911 freaks even had the barback take a picture of me, and the barback (blonde woman, who apparently can only serve beer) didn't have a problem with that. She took a picture of me and handed the camera back to Squeaky Fromme (we all know her real name). - - The barback's action was offensive, inappropriate, rude and unprofessional. I mean, is there ANY instance in which it's OK for a bar worker to take a picture of a patron without the patron's consent? And did she really think that I was a government spy, in cahoots with the NWO conspiracy, who came to Rochester because the local 911 freaks are so damn important? - --["PatrickBtt"] - ------ - ''2008-03-24 18:44:59'' [[nbsp]] I'd like to note that having gone here multiple times over the past few months, including one night that was very busy, the drink wait issue seems to have been resolved. Now they just need a pinball machine (Elvira? Dracula? Addams Family? Ohhh Monster Bash), more drafts, and to move it closer to my house.... --["DarrenKemp"] - ------ - ''2008-06-24 05:42:25'' [[nbsp]] Lux is awesome.

	+ ------ + ''2007-10-17 18:32:29'' [[nbsp]] Couple of things about Lux: + a) If its super busy, turn around and leave. The bartenders will serve their friends and regulars and ignore everyone else. + b) This is not one of the cheapest bars in Rochester unless your beer of choice is PBR in the can. Everything else is average to a bit above average priced. + + This is a good bar that could use some better employee management. I do love the back lawn, and its a great place to meet new and interesting people. --["DarrenKemp"]

The jukebox is awesome, the non-internet and inexpensive classic variety. The selection is amazing. Pretentious...didn't notice it! The people were cool and the bartenders were nice. Yes, there are piercing and tattoos galore, but thankfully, the white hats and the bling are missing. --["CarlGo"]

- Lux Lounge is one of Rochester's alternative bars. Often described as one of the cheapest bars in Rochester, it has a great atmosphere too. It's the type of place you would think of as typical in a city like Portland or NYC, but in Rochester it's one of a kind. While a lot of bars work hard to draw in bands or crowds, Lux Lounge works just as hard to create a laid-back atmosphere where you can have a few drinks, and still have a good conversation over the music.	+ Lux Lounge is one of Rochester's alternative bars.

- There aren't too many places you'll be able to find that have an arts & crafts night and serve drinks. During the warmer months of the year, enjoy their benches and comfortable hammock out back. During the rest of the year, huddle round the fire or play board games inside. The jukebox selection is phenomenal, always seeming to hit the right songs at the right moment.	+ There aren't too many places you'll be able to find that have an arts & crafts night and serve drinks.
