The joint formerly known as the Water Street Music Hall has
been shut down for a while now, nothing floating out to the street but the
ghosts of the memorable music it presented over the years as one of Rochester’s
choice venues. Soon however, rock ‘n’ roll will once again spill out along with
the scent of waffles. The wildly popular Syracuse venue Funk ‘N Waffles has taken
over the spot at 204 North Water Street with a tentative opening date in April.
Funk ‘N Waffles co-founder Adam Gold announced the new location (the business’ third)
on Facebook on Thursday.
“We plan on booking rock, reggae, funk, folk, Americana,
Indie rock, soul, and jazz,” says talent buyer Charley Orlando who recommends
the chicken and waffles.
“We’ll be open all day every day serving up the same funky
menu,” Gold said in his announcement. “And there will be live music seven days
a week. We are really excited to be a part of Rochester’s growing St. Paul
Quarter.”

As a seasoned employee of Funk n Waffles in Downtown/Armory Square in Syracuse, I have to say that Rochester is in for a treat. The food is insane and has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. And, the music is even better as they pull from best of the local talent while still giving way for international acts.
