The Boot Room Pub

The Boot Room Pub is a soccer-focused sports bar situated at the corner of Blossom Road and North Winton Road in Rochester, NY's North Winton Village neighborhood. Operating out of the space that formerly housed The Blossom Road Pub, the bar has established itself as a go-to destination for soccer and football fans in the Rochester area. Its Instagram handle bills it as a "Football Tavern," and the name itself nods to soccer culture — in English football, the boot room is the storied coaching area made famous by Liverpool FC at Anfield.

The Boot Room Pub broadcasts live sports across multiple networks, including Fox Sports, ESPN2, Eurosport, and CBS Sports, covering soccer, NFL football, MLB baseball, NBA basketball, and other leagues. The food program features pizza from Bay & Goodman, a local pizza operation that runs out of the pub's kitchen. Their cheese pizza — built on a crispy crust with tomato sauce and mozzarella — is highlighted as a top seller, with customizable toppings available. Beyond regular service, the pub hosts private events including office parties, birthday celebrations, and business meetings.

Hours shift by day of the week: weekday afternoons through evening, with earlier openings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Check the pub's website or call ahead for the most current schedule.

The Boot Room Pub has carved out a niche as Rochester's dedicated soccer bar, a relatively uncommon specialty in the region. While many local sports bars center on football or basketball, this spot prioritizes international and domestic soccer coverage through networks like Eurosport alongside standard American sports broadcasting. The partnership with Bay & Goodman brings a food identity to the bar that goes beyond typical pub fare.

The pub sits at 198 Winton Road North, right at the Blossom Road intersection in North Winton Village — a walkable, residential neighborhood roughly three miles east of downtown Rochester. The area is characterized by 1920s-era homes, mature tree-lined streets, and a tight-knit commercial corridor along Winton Road. Street parking is available along both Blossom and Winton Roads. The neighborhood hosts an annual North Winton Village Festival each September, reflecting the active community surrounding the pub.
