Downtown Rochester pub to close after one year in business

507 (Pub)lic House in downtown Rochester will close its door this month, just weeks after the restaurant marked its one-year anniversary.

In a Facebook post, the restaurant's owners announced the final day in business will be Saturday, Aug. 25.

"We will miss all [our] wonderful guests," the post reads.

Chef Youness Bojjiand and longtime friend and business partner Tim Ross opened 507 (Pub)lic House on July 25, 2023.

The restaurant serves primarily American comfort food, but also features dishes from other parts of the world.

The owners are seeking a buyer, according to the Facebook post, which states they have "great staff looking to work and a turn key restaurant available."
