The Rock Room

This bar really lives up to its name as long as your definition of rock does not include names like Creed, Hootie and the Blowfish, or Phil Collins (never inadvertently let Phil Collins into your city…inside joke). If your brand of rock is more Motley Crew, Ramones or Guns and Roses, this could be your place.

 Let's get the really obvious stuff out of the way first. The Rock Room is a giant dive. Dirty, grimy, smoky and nasty are just some of the adjectives that come to mind when trying to describe this bar. The bar, the stools, the walls, and the floor all have been abused and used to the edges of their lives. Thankfully, they keep it dim so you can't see how dirty it really is. The back room has so much fluorescent red light you might think you are in a very different type of seedy establishment. 

So, onto the good. It is super cheap and, ummmmm, the bartender was nice and attentive. That is about it.

We did however end up spending a good deal of time there as we had, all the way from the West coast, Master Dickie Brown along with us for our weekly crawl. We ended up having a good time, but this is our kind of place.
