Rochester’s Workshop Food Hall is Opening Next Month

A few months ago, I wrote about Rochester’s Workshop Food Hall. Below you can read what a food hall is, where it will be located, when it is opening, and what you should expect when you visit.

I think this place is going to be really cool and can't wait to check it out. The barbershop inside is actually now open and according to their Facebook page, they’ll be serving food in June.

What is a Food Hall?

Now, when you hear that it will feature several food venues you might think it's similar to a food court - that's not true. On Workshop's Facebook page, they explain the difference between a food court and a food hall, "A food hall is not a food court that you would find in a mall, those are typically chains. A food hall provides a fast-casual option in dining with high-quality standards. (see pictures below) Allowing the opportunity to pick and choose between small restaurants or kitchens. A bar is typically also included along with various additional offerings in activities and pop-ups."

Where is Rochester's Workshop Food Hall?

Workshop Food Hall is located right across from the old Seneca plant.

Check out the food pics below. It looks delicious, right? They say they will be working with "aspiring chefs, cooks, and entrepreneurs to provide fresh concepts in the five kitchens housed within the Workshop."

I predict it will quickly become one of the most popular spots to hang out at in Rochester. In addition to several food vendors, they also have a huge outdoor patio space with games, DJ nights, live music, trivia nights, and karaoke. Learn more on their website and follow them on Facebook for updates.
