José And Willy's - Canandaigua

What a fantastic dive bar! We recently visited from out of town and had a great time grabbing drinks and playing pool. They have two pool tables and a dartboard, plus a solid selection of music. There’s plenty of space to relax and enjoy your time there.

I stopped by for a beer and within just 10 minutes, two individuals approached me aggressively, with one even putting his hands on me. The bouncer was nearby but didn’t intervene at all, so I had to push the guy away from my face, which anyone would do in that situation. Instead of addressing the harassment, the bouncer grabbed me and ordered me to leave, while allowing the person who was bothering me to stay. The level of professionalism in this establishment is severely lacking. I was just trying to enjoy a drink and mind my own business when all of this occurred. It’s clear that the bouncers need proper training and education.

WORST SERVICE EVER !!!! MY wife and I stopped in on:08/05/2018 1:30 PM for cold drinks and full lunch. Staff inside were rude and never even acknowledged us for 15 minutes...[one bar maid and one waitress]. We finally just sat down and waited until bar maid reluctantly walked over and took our order. Took another 10 minutes to get 2 iced teas. We then placed our simple order and ended up waiting, waiting, waiting until 2:15 PM. When we asked where our order was the staff was annoyed and acted bothered. We continued waiting until 2:40 PM and simply left money at our table for our iced teas and left. TOTALLY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL and no it was NOT busy at all....perhaps 20 people [locals drinking at the bar and laughing and joking with staff while we waited. We will NEVER return. Thanks for nothing P&C Clapper, Syracuse, NY

Very much a dive bar. Had the garlic parm wings, which could've used more garlic. The ones at Dobber's were better, but these weren't bad by any means. I was in town for a couple days and had a wing craving.

Some of the best wings in Canandaigua. The bartenders clearly notice if you don't look like someone who's likely to tip well, as I spent the night drinking the cheapest beers and almost felt like I was inconveniencing them when I waved for service. But a nice atmosphere! A fun dive-bar crowd. More of a middle-aged crowd than a college-aged one. Of course, the best thing Jose's has going for it is its location. Short walk to the pier and Kershaw, and the Main Street bars aren't so far away if it's warm out.
