Bitter & Pour

Bitter & Pour

Bitter & Pour® is the lovechild of four nice guys with stardust in their eyes. A subterranean hideaway housed in the Merchant Exchange building on Historic 3rd Street where only the finest spirits and elixirs are served to Rochester’s hippest drinkers. In the pursuit of excellence, we created a tiny altar that pays tribute to everything we’ve always wanted. A cozy and stylish atmosphere, detail-obsessive cocktails, and impeccable wine selection.

Andrew’s passion for the customer service industry started as a child growing up in the Detroit metro. As a young lad, he would assist his older siblings in delivering the daily newspaper, eventually taking on his own route once old enough. Between the ages of 13 and 14 he began working as a junior usher for baseball games at the old Tiger Stadium.

A native of New Ulm, MN, Josh’s passion for the food and beverage industry was piqued at a young age while running around the historic August Schell’s Brewery, where his father resides as plant manager and brew master. He worked odd jobs around the brewery until moving to Rochester at the age of 18 to play football at the collegiate level.
