This 4,000-square-foot space in Piano Works has 40 screens ready for all of your electronic gaming needs. With both PCs and latest-gen consoles, you can practice, compete in tournaments, or just play for fun. There's no cover charge, so if you just want to watch that's fine too. If you get hungry or thirsty, a bar menu is available with sandwiches, wraps, and quesadillas, along with inventive alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.
Just up the stairs from Playerz Zone is another gaming space, this one the successor to the Silverball Saloon that operated down the street until the pandemic forced its closure. Now that establishment's pinball machines, along with machines from other local collectors, are housed at the Piano Works. All of the machines are set to free play, so once you pay the $20 cover, you're set for the day. They've got machines from several different eras, as early as the 1950s, right up through new releases. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks available for purchase.
Lemoncello combines the Italian food for which East Rochester is famous with the unexpected atmosphere of a jazz lounge. The popularity of the place tells you how good the food is; this is no corner pizza joint. Gluten-free pizza and pasta is available.
Simple but very good Italian entrees in a classy but not too formal atmosphere. Don't expect innovative dishes here, but rather old favorites carefully and deliciously prepared. Seating is closely packed but well isolated for an intimate feeling.
Like all Courtyards, this hotel was designed to provide a scenic and comfortable stop for business travelers, but it has plenty of amenities for leisure travelers, too. A mini-bistro in the lobby is outstanding both for breakfast and whenever you need a bite to eat; its pizza, sandwiches, soups, and salads are both innovative and tasty. Free wireless Internet, large work desks, indoor pool.
This is a strip mall without much to recommend it above any other strip mall, except that its location is rather unique. It is actually a former piano factory that was converted into retail and office space.
One of the East Coast's largest racquet specialty shops. Racquets, shoes, apparel and racquet services (including stringing, customizations, etc.). Over 1000 racquets for tennis, squash, racquetball, paddle sports, badminton.
Despite the prominent presence of the train tracks through the village, no train stops here any more. You'll need a car if you're going to visit East Rochester.
