Simply put, we're a casual neighborhood restaurant serving up elevated and authentic Mexican fare in a family-style setting. In Mexico, meals are a time for sharing good conversation over even better food. We like that philosophy, so we decided to bring it to Rochester and complement it with a mezcal-based cocktail list. Yes, we have other spirits and classic cocktails, but we want to celebrate and share mezcal—Mexico's indigenous spirit made from agave and a cousin of tequila—with Rochester and beyond. Bitter Honey is about hospitality. We love our guests; it’s that simple. We look forward to welcoming and hosting you soon!

Iron Smoke Distillery is a small batch, farm to table Distillery in Fairport, NY. It all started in 2011, in the backyard over some whiskey and a loaded smoker when our founder and chief trailblazer – musician Tommy Brunett, came up with the concept of combining two great American past times: great bourbon/whiskey making with an added subtle hint of Applewood BBQ’s smoked goodness. Our internationally acclaimed NYS farm distillery is where all the magic happens now. It starts with the finest locally sourced ingredients from family owned farms in the Finger Lakes Region. Our unique proprietary four grain mash bill is hand selected from the finest corn, wheat, barley, and rye in our region. In 2018, Iron Smoke's World Famous Watering Room and Sideshow was established, featuring a live event space and fully licensed bar on site. Our tasting room features all New York State wine, spirits and beer from IPA’s to IPZ’s and two rotating drafts.
