Stepping through the tall medieval doors and into The Unreliable Narrator feels like stepping into J. R. R. Tolkien’s curio cabinet. A cozy hideaway within Village Gate Square, Unreliable Narrator is a treasure trove of stories, trinkets, and warm tea waiting for the next rainy Rochester day. Treasures aside, the true value of The Unreliable Narrator extends beyond its storefront: with events like Rochester Queer Open Mic, Burn After Reading (A Resistance Book Club), and mandatory mask Wednesdays, The Unreliable Narrator has transitioned from storefront to community space. If you’re looking for a new adventure, new friends, or just a few hours of soothing Lord of the Rings music as you peruse curiosities, I suggest you look beyond the big wooden doors at 302 North Goodman Street.
