Welcome to the
East End
Anthology is F**KING Back, Baby!
When Anthology closed its doors in the summer of 2022, it left a void in the hearts of music lovers across the city, especially those in the East End neighborhood just off of East Avenue on Lawrence Street, where the venue stands. For years, locals and weary travelers walked past the venue, watching and waiting for the day that the magnificent proverbial factory lights would turn on, and the rhythmic cadence of music would echo out to the world from behind the glass doors of the forsaken building. All hope felt lost. But, the tides are turning and Anthology is once again bringing the joy of live music to Downtown, Rochester, NY!

Sorry We’re Open: Vibin’ with The Richmond on Richmond
The Richmond by Mortalis Brewing has been a local gem in the East End for years. It is a bar that has endured, even through the pandemic years, when it changed hands a couple of times before the owners of Mortalis purchased the space, renovated it, and elevated the restaurant-bar to the absolute beauty it is today.
The Old Toad, Still Bringing The Authentic English Pub Experience to the East End
The Old Toad features a robust menu, the fish and chips with a side of mushy peas are a must-try, but so is the creamy, savory, and perfectly tender Chicken Korma, which also comes in a vegan option. The Toad is the gold standard of a relaxed, older traditional-style British pub at the location in the East End of Downtown Rochester, New York. A spot it has called home to for many years.
