Rock Bar

Fun average bar on Fort Lauderdale Beach. I’ve been to this spot 3x. The first time I went with a group of friends. It was late night on a Friday, the inside club was hopping but not crowded. The DJ was playing some good tunes. It was fun!
The second time I went was with two guys. It was a Sunday night and we pretty much had the dance floor to ourselves. There were some stragglers here and there, and it was Fleet Week. It was fun because the three of us really know how to live it up.
This last time I was there was with out of town guests. We decided to chill out on the front patio with some drinks and hookah. Drinks are average. They have a full bar and their «specialty» is some frozen drinks. I don’t do frozen drinks, and no one I have gone here with has ever ordered one. I’ve heard mixed reviews from others and online about the frozen drinks. Their hookah is ok. We had four people and they brought out only one hose. We tried lemon mint which was just ok. Then we had the strawberry. It barely had a hint of any kind of strawberry. Not sure where they are ordering their hookah charcoals from, but they may want to try a new vendor.
I’ve not ever eaten at this place. Their patio furniture is worn out and mostly uncomfortable. I hate bathroom attendants, and this place has one on the weekends.
So all in all, this is a very average bar but with a great location at the beach. Nothing stands out, but nothing has been completely awful either.

I went for lunch. The location has a perfect view of the beach. The fish tacos were AMAZING. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 is because the outdoor tables were a little uncomfortable and kind of dirty looking.

2 stars due to service. So many waiters but for some reason you seem to be invisible and have to chase them down.
Good thing about this place is that it’s right on the beach and it’s always packed with people. So if you’re social that’s a plus. Outside seating is spacious and not so comfy chairs though.
I’ve been to this place twice. The second time I ordered one of those big margaritas. So watered down we had to ask for a couple shots. If I’m paying that much for something so big I expect it to have alcohol.
Overall, I’d go here just cause it’s on the beach and it’s a decent social spot. But it would be my last resort. They also offer hookah.

Great location and view. My boyfriend and I were looking for a good spot in Las Olas to watch the Colombia vs Chile match. We decided to try this place out and actually enjoyed it so much we stayed until close! The staff was super nice except for the bouncer. He kept asking for my ID every time I went to the restroom. Besides that, the music was loud but enjoyable, it would have been great if they would have had the volume for the game instead of club music. They have great deals! 5 beers for $ 18 and 2×1 on the 40oz drinks for $ 20. Hookah was ok, sadly is the same price as a Miami hookah but it’s not even half the size. Also they don’t do tabacco refills which bothered me a lot because we had to pay $ 24 for a whole new hookah. Not worth it to go just for hookah. I would give it a 3 star but I actually enjoyed myself because our server made it worth while. The place needs a little bit of work, but they have potential. We’ll be back to try it out some other time, hopefully they invest on new hookahs and more menus.

I was visiting Ft. Lauderdale for the weekend. We had a blast at this place. We went late, they closed at 3AM, I believe. They had a dance floor and a DJ, drinks, hookah. What more could you ask for? I enjoyed the nightlife scene there, i didn’t eat the food. Its a good place for dancing.

Good burger and steak sandwich. Music from the place next door irritate you but the overall experience was great.

Showed up with a group of 12 women, some were holding empty Fat Tuesdays cups. The bouncer could have politely told us that the cups were not allowed and explained our alternatives to enter the bar. However, after saying we couldn’t come in due to the cups, the bouncers were very rude and even heckled us as we walked away yelling to us that they «weren’t losing business» «didn’t need our business» and kept sarcastically saying «buh-​bye». It was disgusting. We just moved along and went to Elbo Room down the street. They had great music and service. Go there or pretty much any other bar on the street.

My friend and I decided to go there for drinks and hookah. I had to change my server, she was so rude! As if what I was asking of her was a bother. Both stood at the hostess stand chitchatting, so long that the other guests that came in after us had to be signaling them to come over. I guess after coming together the other one decided not to come to the table. I had to change the hookah hose twice because it was pretty disgusting and dirty inside. We are regular customers but we won’t go back!
Ps. It was not even busy when we got there, we were literally the first people outside.

Drinks were large in size and decently priced. Food was expensive. Staff was poor. The tip they call is a service charge is already figured in the bill. Ours was over 20% and she was not even worth half of it. She paid way more attention to the group of guys behind us. The drinks are misleading as it reads most drinks are buy 1 get 1 but in reality it is only certain ones each day of the week. Glad we found this out before we ordered. Probably will not go back. The band was next door and we originally thought it was at the one we were at.

This place is right across from the beach! Need I say more???
The food we ordered was good — wings, nachos and fish tacos! Margaritas were buy one, get one free and they give you a to go cup if you don’t finish! That doesn’t happen in Philly!
We will definitely be going back before our trip is over

If you want a great atmosphere, great drinks and awesome food, this is the place to go. I was doing a beach day and my sister and I wanted a place to eat lunch. This is located central to everything and is right across from the each. This place also offered hookah. The margaritas were huge and it was buy one get one free and they gave us a to go cup!!! We had the dip and Salsa, Mexican wings, fish tacos and it was very delicious.

No offense this place is packed but because its right on the A1A. We sat down and service was horrible. Took forever. The burger was Ok, frozen pattie. Ordered a hookah and it was Horrible! After 3 pulls it was super harsh burning your throat. I asked them to change the coal and had to ask 4 different servers and wait 20 minutes to get another one. Service was slow, food was ⁵⁄₁₀. Wont be going here again.

The margaritas are huge and the music is loud, not bad things. But after looking at all the menus trying to decide where to eat, I’m pretty sure that 3 restaurants in either direction of Rock Bar are all owned by the same company. The drink specials are the same and the menus are pretty identical with some name changes. Some feature a few different items but the menu is essentially the same.
That being said, the drinks were good and the food wasn’t bad. The service wasn’t great. Our server was attentive but the food and drinks took a while and we didn’t have silverware like our table was never reset. The music was so loud it was hard to hear our server a lot of the time and we had to flag him down to ask for the check.
All in all not so bad but it’s a very touristy spot for sure. Nothing really authentic to Florida but if you’re looking for a big drink this is your place.

We ordered the 2−4−1 millionaire margarita and the tequila sunrise. Neither were overwhelmingly good. We also got a hookah and the chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla was less than impressive. It was dripping (and not from the cheese) from the wet chicken.
There were Corona sponsors coming around to take pics of us with free corona beers… Why not?
Great atmosphere. Right on the beach front!

We stopped in for an afternoon cocktail and some people watching. It may be ok for the young 20 something’s on the beach but watered down drinks and disappearing bartenders don’t cut it with us.

Don’t be fooled by the 2 for 1 large drink deal, it’s basically a scam. $ 26 for one drink!!! And a service charge on top of that? Um are you crazy? We saw so many college kids there but how can they afford it? Sure you can chose between a margarita, sangria, Long Island etc. but man oh man is that expensive!
The view is great, some really interesting people watching from across the street. They have one of those bathroom attendants which I hate, I’m fully capable of putting soap on my own damn hands thank you! Huge dance floor inside so I assume it gets rowdy at night.

Great view and location. Other than that… Food and drinks were less than subpar.
2 for 1 huge margaritas so about $ 20 per? My strawberry margarita tasted decent but they must have forgotten to put in any tequila. I got mine on the rocks, which y waiter said it does not mix as well as blended… Not a good excuses because I only ever drink it on the rocks and know that should be the opposite. However, the waiter was not hesitant to pour another shot in (since this was a frequent complaint).
Entrée: we all got chicken or steak burrito. The shredded steak was okay, the guac was minimal but tasty and the side of rice was good. My friends chicken burrito was very dry.
Overall, only come for the view.

Service was blahhh! Not friendly at all.
I asked about happy hour– because they were having a 2 for 1 deal and she said it’s always all day, which I didn’t understand because why is it called happy hour then!?? LOL
The bartender seemed annoyed at me since I was asking but I was just curious since I’m from up north where we don’t have happy hour…
Everything else was nice though and I like how it’s right on the beach. I found it to be one of the only bars open later on the week days.

Great bar. This place is next to the beach with outdoor seating. We strolled up at 0130 in the morning and we were welcomed with open arms. They stay open till 0400 in the morning!
The best part is that their kitchen is open also. We ordered a cheeseburger and cheese bacon fries. It was awesome! Great customer service also!

We ended up at Rock bar during our awesome crawl after the Pirate party.
Some positives are Rock has a great dance floor and the drinks are heavily poured. That being said it was super difficult to order from the bar even without the crowd due to the outside area needing service. I could see getting really annoyed at not getting a drink in your hand ten minutes after you get there and the place is empty.
It was also, beyond us, almost dead — and most likely because the music choice was awful. Not so bad I wasn’t workable — but definitely not OMG THIS IS AWESOME. It was fun with a larger group and they awesomely had a stripper pole, but generally not a big fan — America’s Backyard was much more my style and speed.
But Rock was closer to our hotel… so at least that’s something.

Excelente lugar, el mejor daikiri que probé con mucho ron de calidad, era tanta cantidad que no logre terminarlo. Una vista preciosa frente al mar y buena música.
