Red Rooster Bar & Music Hall

Calling this joint a bar and a music hall is like calling a used condom a miniature shopping bag. If you were born with perfect hearing and you didn’t like that, this is where you come to lose it all. The music too loud, the drinks bad, and the fresh-​out-​of-​teenage crowd that shows up are like buzzards over a dead kill.
Man! I am sounding like a buzzkill given how many times over the past few years I develop amnesia and decide to give this cocky place another shot. I always regret it! There is always a crazy line with someone throwing up, another taking pictures of that, someone else punching someone else into the puke pool and the cops running in with their Tasers on. It feels like you have just entered the set of an action movie where someone laced everyone’s Coke with cocaine!
Once inside the music is so loud your sinus problems disappear, because your eyes would have melted and leaked everything that they had been diligently holding back for all those years. You wander in blind and bump into some poor sob of a waitresses carrying tubes of colorful intoxicants. All of them come from the same vodka company — Vomit. At the end of the night, the floor of this hallowed dance club is covered with a strange slime that the establishment scrapes off and sells it to 3M, the makers of glue and other sundry.
I guess the lack of a good multi-​tiered sophisticated dance club like those in bigger cities forces youngsters to flock here for their weekly groping and grinding fixes. So here is a message to all you tycoons wondering what is the next big thing — a good dance club that’s in sync with the times.
Sorry if I have offended anyone with this review. You should get back to studying anyway. You have an exam tomorrow.

I am going to try my best and refrain from eviscerating this place too much. The staff were at least friendly and helpful — as much as they could be. Its not their fault the place sucks.
Now on to the review. I like to check four square and look at the tips. It speaks volumes when every single tip that you read written by normal users are bad ones. Every single tip that was written by the owner was positive.
FIrst off the beer selection is awful. There’s not much of a selection at all. The beer that they do have is expensive too.
This review is based on my arriving at 8 pm for dinner and drinks. The live performers were good, when they did get started. They spent 20 – 30 minutes warming up and sound checking. (WTF?)
The menu only had 4 things on it. It was quick sandwich type stuff. I highly recommend NOT eating here.
People smoking outside left the giant doors open and let all the smoke blow back in to the place. And it also made it cold inside. I know this is all neither here nor there but It left a bad taste in my mouth when I already was having a bad experience.
I am basing all this on the time of night that I visited. I am sure its a different place after hours.

Meh — it’s a so-​so bar in a string of bars, on a road in a town full of bars, that has live music (with shitty sound equipment and poor acoustics) and drinks. I’ve enjoyed a little bit of time here when it has not been crowded.
However, on college nights and on weekends — HOLY HELL. Sometimes I’ve driven past and I take a look at the Red Rooster, overflowing with under 24 year-​olds and the bass of the music pounding on the exterior of my car, and I think, «Man, if there’s any place in the world I’d like not to be right now — it’s there.» If you’re into way crowded places and hot guys and chicks, then hell yeah! It’s just way too much for me. Even when I was 24 and under, that wasn’t my preferred environment.
Two for one on Tuesdays, tho…

Enjoy going to hear bands but really enjoy the dancing when the dj comes in on Saturday nights.

Horrible! Horrible and Even More Horrible!!! This place doesn’t deserve one star. My husband and I came on our one– hour lunch break. The server was sloooooowwwww as crap and didn’t know the food menu or the food special (Neither the manager). It literally took our food over 30 minutes to cook and here is the worst part of the story, it was only two customers in the restaurant, MY HUSBAND AND I!!! I left so I could get back to work so my husband remained. My husband speaks with the manager about the long wait and the dude begins to argue with my husband (really???) stating it didn’t take that long. My husband told him that he checked in on foursquare and it shows when you check in. So my husband left his food and walked out — pissed and hungry.
DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE!!!

Went to the Red Rooster the first time on St. Patty’s day. They had a band playing; it was pretty cool. There’s a little dance area right in front of the stage. The crowd was mixed and I’m not if that’s a good thing or not. There were some raunchy dancing going on. Mixed drinks were about $ 7 each. Not sure how much the beer was but I’m guessing $ 3 – 4.

Almost embarrassed to write this review. For long time Nashville heads, this place makes me miss the days of On The Rocks (which might have been 1.5 stars).
This place works if you are underage, or barely of age. I went with some buddies who go pretty frequently to get their techno on, and wanted to bash my head into the rooster to make it stop. And I love me some house and techno.
First off, the floor was sticky. I felt like I was stepping on elmer’s glue.
Drinks are pricey for a glorified Vandy dive bar.
There are innumerable amounts of douche’s in here. Getting piss drunk and acting like fools/​amateurs. I witnessed a group of 5 boys rail 3 jaeger shots in a row, and realized I had paid $ 5 to enter Hell.
Skip it. Listen to Avicii in your car.

Saving grace after a downtown area that beat me over the head with country music. It was a decent size, with standard beer prices, a stage, dance floor, and lot’s of top 40! Try it out

Fun for a night where you’re looking to dance & be in an extremely crowded environment. The Red Rooster isn’t the best place to get to know people or enjoy the company you are out with. Seems like a total hook-​up bar to me.

I went there last night with a group of friends and the place is great. The staff are super friendly and this bar has food. Real food that does not taste like it was taken out of the freezer and popped in the microwave. If you are looking for a good place with a great staff and good music it is a must.

For the first time in my life, I did not tip for a meal and was by far the worst worst worst service of my life.
My wife and I went for lunch yesterday afternoon and was ill-​prepared for the amount of BS we were about to endure.
Everything started out ok as the bartender/​server took our drink and appetizer order. She disappears for nearly 20 minutes and our ‘Queso’ appetizer arrives as cold and as disgusting as can be.
Next we order a basket of chicken tenders and a quesadilla. 45 minutes later (no exaggeration), we still haven’t received our order. The server is no where in sight so I finally walk to the back kitchen area to find her and I hear her and the cook joking and laughing about how long the food is taking. I’m rather pissed but know the food is finally coming, so I go back to my seat and act like I didn’t hear anything.
She finally brings the food (it tasted fine) and proceeds to apologize how long it took and that the reason was that the cook on duty had to go pick up the other cook from his house so there wasn’t a cook to cook the food. I tell her I want the check and this is where things get really fun.
I go to pay with my debit card and am told it gets declined. Luckily, I have my laptop with me and login to my bank and confirm that I have enough money in my account to cover the check 500 times or so. I nicely ask her to run it again and her manager would not allow her.
At this point, I am pissed as they are being rude as hell and I know 100% sure my card works. I goto the ATM literally next door and not to my surprise at all, I am able to withdraw money with no trouble.
I go to pay the bill ($ 20.05) with two $ 20 bills because that is what an ATM gives you and they tell me they can’t make change but won’t let me skip out on the 5 CENTS.
At this point, I go from being polite to being a complete and total jerk. The manager who is about to leave walks by and the server asks her to make change in the back, and the manager is pissed that she has to make change. At this point, I yell, «What is the effing problem, you guys can’t take debit card or cash, how the eff am I suppose to pay».
Apparently there was another supervisor/​manager who at this point just became aware of the situation and got everything straightened out… but 2 hours later of terrible service and complete BS, I am completely amazed. I wish I could give negative stars.

Went there with some friends to watch Derek St. Holmes (former vocalist/​rythm guitar for Ted Nugent) play some nasty blues. It was only a Tuesday so the place wasn’t packed out or anything but was a good show. I can see how this place has alot of potential for a great time to be had.
As far as the club and kitchen, I’m only giving it 3 stars simply because I didn’t sample the food there and was only drinking beer. I can’ really judge the cooking or the bartending skills at this point. Next time I’ll hit up some the BB-​Q and some margaritas then renew my review.
Lots of parking across the street is a plus.

Music is so loud that you can’t hear the person sitting next to you and the service is terrible!

I’ve only come here for parties, events, or around 4 when it started raining and I was on a motorcycle and decided to come in and was one of two people in a 4000 sq ft bar.
I don’t really have a good feel of what this bar is normally, but their prices are ok and the place is maintained and the value on food seemed to be good. The food was ok and the service was fast.
I came here for a party tonight, it seemed to suffer the blight of the musical talent that nobody asked for who got booked at the same time a party showed up (and nobody else). 30 people in the bar, 25 for a party, nobody could hear anyone else without screaming over admittedly good renditions of songs.
Left for a bit to grab some pizza, came back and it was packed, but a nice crowd…

Here’s what I remember from Halloween night at Red Rooster:
— band playing covers including rocking out some Journey tunes. They sounded great!
— very large venue — I got lost at least 2x from all my friends. Whoooops!
— patio which was nice for getting some air/​having some ciggies
— bathroom attendant — normally I would dislike this but on this particular evening she was a lifesaver
— reasonably priced drinks and a nice bartender even though it was packed. Quick too! This may be why I don’t remember much about this place…
Overall 2 thumbs up for festive times on Halloween. I’ll be back Red Rooster to see how you are on a regular night.

I’ve looked the same for the last 8 years. I’ll give the bouncer credit for that. Nonetheless… RIDICULOUS. The bouncer wanted additional ID from both myself and a few of my friends. I guess I just expect them to actually collect fakes from the young hookers and leave the grad students alone.
It felt like the bouncer just wanted to play bad cop that night. Jerk off. As far as the bar goes, I want nothing more than to take a picture on the giant rooster outside of the place. Sidenote: Snooky is a bartender here. Check it out and I promise that you Jersey Shore fans will not be disappointed.
Music was fun. Dancing was good. DJ was cool.

I’ve been to this place a few times, and every time I leave wondering how they get off charging $ 5 to get in. The one thing I really like is that they have TV screens that you can send text messages to… like «This DJ is really good at getting people to stop dancing». Overall though, its not bad. There aren’t many places where you can go and dance, I just wish the music was better at times. You’ll have a good thing going and then its like the DJ wanted to show his friends how fast he can get people off the dance floor. It’d get four stars if it wasn’t for the $ 5.

This is where On The Rocks used to be, but they have completely re-​done it and I love it… you have two sections… one is laid back and chill with food and comfortable seating and then on the other side is where you dance and go a little crazier. It is a great fit for Demonbreun and those that are looking for something else to do other than the Tin Roof and D. Mguiness. They are securing live band venues with popular musicians and have intergrated technology very well…
For example, you can walk into the club and you will be able to write messages seen on multiple tv’s. If you were having trouble breaking the ice to a cutie in the bar, you could message over all the tv’s in a text format «Girl in green dress… meet me at the bar so I can buy you a drink»…very clever…
AND THE PRICES ARE GREAT!!! $ 5.50 FOR A JACK AND COKE – I did not think it be possible…(I am a vodka drinker personally, but I always look at the prices of Jack and Coke because if they are reasonable, everything else is… I am weird… what can I say…)
