Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

While a trip with some friends, we were looking for some good dive bars. Many people suggested Salinger's so we stopped by for drinks. We sat at the bar and were very well taken care of by the bartender (and had a good chat with the doorman - it was a quiet night). There were a lot of locals there and we jumped in to quite a few conversations. The overall atmosphere of this place was friendly - people were willing to talk, hang out and drink. Overall, this is a nice locals-style bar.

Salinger's (Sal's) is an inexpensive neighborhood bar in East Ave, near the Eastman School of Music. It is quite popular with the students there. Sal's has a great draft beer selection at very reasonable prices. There's plenty of seating (and a smoking area outside). Sal's can get pretty loud during peak hours, and also has a pool table, three or four TVs, and a few arcade games. The free popcorn is pretty good! Sal's isn't the place to go for super-fancy cocktails, but for an inexpensive beer after work/school, it's just right.

Salinger's is a great bar in Rochester's East End to meet friends for drinks, fun, and games.
Prices are reasonable, bartenders are friendly, and the games like pool, skeeball, and darts make for a fun, relaxed night.

Went there a couple of evenings during our stay in Rochester. Only a couple of blocks from East Main Street in downtown Rochester. Great service - friendly efficient staff. Cheap draft beer. Pool table, a couple of arcade games, tv for game watching.

We usually stop in Salinger's a couple times during the Jazz Fest for a cold beverage. This year when we did so I found that their beer selection had been narrowed to mass-market beers and about a dozen craft-brewed IPAs. I realize that IPA is "trendy" right now and they need to cater to the masses, but personally I'm not a big IPA fan and was frustrated that I couldn't get ANY amber, porter, or brown ale. I bought something because we were there, and sat on the patio and sipped it, but we will probably never go back.
