ACME has the best pizza slices in town! Their pies arent as good for some reason though, always get a slice. Awesome bar for beer and hanging out and they have recently hired some better staff, the servers are generally great. There are some particular bartenders who have been there forever though who are slow and surly and who should either get come customer service training or get fired (yep, theyre THAT bad). Theres this one woman who spends a lot of time putting glasses away, wiping and drying things, and talking to other people, even when the bar is really busy. Its not that she ignores you, its that she is such a bad bartender, she never looks up and down the bar to see who needs serving or wants something. She seems to think whatever she is doing is more important than any customer who may wander in and try to waste her time. Then theres this male bartender who clearly cant stand women.... but ACME does tend to be a bit of a sausage fest anyway..... I love ACME, but I never order my own drinks there. Its just too frustrating.

This place is great for beer specials. Each day has a different special so check their menu/website for details. I really like the buy 1 get 1. If youre smart about it you buy the beer, pocket the chip, and continue doing that until the special ends, then drink for "free" using the chips you accumulated. It works out well. The beer selection is quite good. They have your regular clear beers like PBR, but then plenty of craft to select from as well. The pizza is delicious. Im told this is what they are known for so if you are already there, why not try their specialty? I did pepperoni. My pal got meatball. He said the meatball was spicier than what he was expecting but the flavor was delicious. The staff is nice and friendly and they have free WiFi.

Has a modest but ever-changing selection of beers on tap, with a large selection of bottled brews. Their daily deals are a good value. I love their Free Drink Tokens all day Monday and before 8pm any other day. They can be redeemed any time for a draught/bottle! Juicy third-pound burgers, crispy cajun-style tots and decent/great wings (depending on the cook) round out the fare along with their extremely popular gigantic slices of thin crust pizza ($2 per plain slice!) However, service could be better at times, mostly when waiting to get the bartenders attention or when ordering food on a crowded night. Make sure you point out where youll be sitting!

Great food, great beer selection and specials all week. Can get crowded, loud and quite full at busy times (weekends, holidays etc). This bar is at its best early in the week or early in the day. Weekends and holidays get ready for Bro hour, oh and the service is slower than molasses at any day/time.... 3/5 because as a customer I really have to pay attention to the calendar and clock if I want to go there and actually enjoy myself and I hold service higher than food/beverage etc and sadly the service is the worst part of this bar...

Had a few beers, played some pool and darts, ate a slice of their pepperoni pizza. I was very happy with the bar overall. The bartenders and wait staff were very pleasant and cheerful. The only complaint was when we were playing darts, there was another group playing on the adjacent machine and it was incredibly awkward to stand and move about. We were constantly tripping over each other and it wasnt much fun.

Good times. Crappy beer selection though. Way to many Canadian beers! Seriously Acme, get some Sam Adams and Smithwicks in the there for goodness sake. The pizza is meh. Also it takes at least 30 minutes to get to you on an average weeknight. So if you come hungry, remember to also come thirsty because youll be waiting around for a hot minute.

Great bar. Friendly atmosphere. Good bar food. Only thin crust pizza ill eat. Nothing like walking down with the girlfriend or friends for some beer and pizza/tater tots. Their current staff is great and hard working. always seeing the same faces at the door and behind the bar, theyre pretty quick to get you a drink or food.

I love ACME. Why do I love ACME? Let me count the ways... 1. Beer - lots of beer. 2. Taters 3. Cajun Taters! 4. Pizza - like, for reals, this is some damn good bar pizza. (slice of roni, plz!) 5. Cori (one of Monroe Aves finest bartenders) ACME is an institution and you will thoroughly enjoy it. - The End -

Awesome beer selection. Cheap prices. Fun atmosphere. They have pool and darts. Their pizza is great but dont order it past 11pm if youre not drinking. Their chicken sandwich is really good too, as are their spicy tots. Just wish their bathroom didnt smell so terrible.

Pizza is one of a kind as are the employees. They;re all great and willing to serve you. Id say the best Specials they have is on Monday and tues. one night is buy one get one and the other is 1.75$ drafts and well drinks! Awesome place.

A typical American style bar with some greet food to indulge in. A choice of more than 100 beers. Three stars coz it was understaffed. Only the bartender was doing the work for everyone. But she was great at her work.

Great bar, great service, excellent beer selection and excellent pizza. The pizza even comes out relatively fast when its super busy. Lots of beers on tap and even more in the fridge behind the bar

Great happy hour specials. Personally, this is my favorite place to get pizza. Im not a huge fan of the tap, however, they have a wide variety of bottled beers and usually a decent tap selection.

I love their beers but the best part was there were three ten dollar bills all over the floor about a week ago. It was like three idiots were just giving away money. Two thumbs up! :)

Best pizza in rochester and pretty decent deals on beer. Always a great choice for a laid back night, though it can get crowded there (a good thing since it means its a fun place :P)

Always a varied selection of craft beers on draft and in bottles, great chicken wings, and awesome thin-crust pizza. This is a fun neighborhood bar that is always worth a visit.

Not a fan, went in here once on a whim, took me about 15 minutes to get a drink when there was virtually no one in the bar, and felt like I was intruding. I wont ever go back.

Cant go wrong with Acme pizza...they have some of the best slices in the city. Unfortunately the service isnt the most attentive or fast. The crowd can be hit or miss too.

This pizza is out of this world, get the banana peppers with sausage, you will not be disappointed. Add in some great bottles and drafts and youve got one killer bar

Best Pizza in town and the tots are amazing too! Very friendly staff and if your looking for something different then the club scene this is a great place to go.
