Rock Bar @rockbarflb 📍Ft. Lauderdale, FL Follow @eatzwithsweetz on ig and fb for more! A classic! 2 for 1 big drinks! I got the strawberry Daiquiri and Miami Vice. Also, had to grab the bang bang shrimp as always! Perfectly fried and the sauce has a nice kick! When's the last time you went to Rock Bar? #RockBar #FortLauderdaleBeach #LetsDrinkz #EatzWithSweetz #LetsEatz
Omg the Salmon is excellent! Loved my bang bang shrimp. Abel was my server, he was excellent!!! I consider myself to be a good tipper. I never tip anyone 18%. My tip was going to be $25 for my meal that came to $197. I do NOT like that they automatically add 18% gratuity to my bill. Restaurants should not be allowed to decide what I’m to tip a server. I don’t like that. I don’t like that at all and they should not be allowed to do that.
My wife and I ate here on one of our first trips to Florida. 20 years later, we brought the entire family on our 20th wedding Anniversary trip. It's still terrific.
Everything was delicious! I got the snapper, corn on the cob and Spanish rice! It was so good!
Food, service, and location are excellent. The pineapple bowl was very filling (enough for two). The two for 1 extra large drinks are a decent deal for $38 (it's like 4 drinks)
Great food, awesome vibe and exceptional service!!! I went with a party of 7 and all of our food choices were delicious and the drinks were on point. The added bonus is that once you enjoy your food, you can walk across the street and enjoy the beach.

Great Vibes, Ocean Views & Good Music! Rock Bar is the perfect spot to kick back, enjoy some drinks, and soak in the beach vibes! Located right across from the ocean, the views are unbeatable—whether you’re watching the waves during the day or enjoying the nightlife atmosphere in the evening. The music is always on point, creating the perfect energy for a fun time with friends. Whether it’s a DJ or a great playlist, the vibe is lively without being overwhelming. The drinks are solid, the service is quick, and the crowd is always a mix of locals and tourists just looking to have a good time. If you’re in the area and want a spot with great music, ocean views, and a laid-back yet upbeat atmosphere, Rock Bar is definitely worth checking out!
Gigantic margaritas for $25 for 2. We ordered one each and it was hard to finish so next time I'd order one to share. The ceviche was huge as well. I think if you order margaritas then better without any snacks. I could barely walk, was too full from the huge portions. The staff very friendly and the service quick. They also have live music band. Very nice place
Absolutely love this spot, been here many times over many years. This place is awesome. I dont even care how much it cost it is well worth every penny. Thank you for such great service. Ambience, vibe and everything across the street over viewing the ocean amazing. Our servers were wonderful thank you. Hookah was good lasted hours on 2/3 coals which was beautiful. Our fish bowls are amazing had watermelon, and mango and my friend knocked half of our fish bowl over so our waiter made us a very brand new one. We had a side order of corn, fries, quesadillas, and a whole red snapper so delicious ! Thank you guys. Definitely will be back for sure. I was loving life.
So, the place sells large daiquiri and margarita drinks in souvenir cups to take home They also sell regular drinks like this “old fashioned “the drink was so so. Arthur got the fish bowl size drink and it was equally mediocre. Th flood, was wonderful though. We both ate sushi raw. We liked it very much. We were not sick two hours after so yes I recommend the place but they hookah here. I don’t like hookah.
Lexi was an amazing bartender. Omg you’re lucky to have her—so kind and attentive. 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️
Me & My Husband Enjoyed A Fun Evening Here On July 4th 2022. It Was A Perfect View Of The Beautiful "Fireworks Show" Over Fort Lauderdale Beach From Our Outdoor Seating! The Gaint 2 For 1 Margaritas Are AMAZING 🍹 We Enjoyed Good Food Good People Good Music & Good Services. ALL Around Good Vibes! Everyone Should Come Check Rock Bar Out! We Will Be Back 😊🥰
Trendy & cool "hookah" bar right across the street from the Lauderdale beach. Food was served quickly, and was very good for a quick bite. Had 3 tacos with shredded chicken with cilantro, spicy sauce, beans. My daughter had a platter with onion ring, fries, thick chicken strip and, nice size breaded shrimp🍤 Also had a huge veggie burger & fries. A bit pricey for beach food. Their specialty was these tremendous glasses (margaritas, pina colada, daiquiris and much more) buy one, get one free! @ $42.00 🍹🍹
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Service Experience Ever I’ve been coming to Rock Bar for years and have always appreciated the excellent staff, but one person stands out far beyond the rest: Taylor. She is the definition of exceptional. From the moment you sit down, Taylor radiates positive energy that uplifts everyone around her. She has a natural gift for making each guest feel valued and cared for. Her food and drink recommendations are always spot-on, and she delivers them with a genuine enthusiasm that makes the experience unforgettable. What truly sets Taylor apart is her attentiveness. She somehow checks in at the perfect time—often before you even realize you need something—and always makes sure every detail is taken care of. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication create an atmosphere that keeps me coming back time and time again. Taylor is, without question, my favorite bartender. If you’re visiting Rock Bar, do yourself a favor and ask for her. You won’t just be getting great service—you’ll be getting an experience that elevates your entire night.
What a beautiful venue! Right on the Fort Lauderdale beach! They have an amazing deal of 2 45oz margaritas for $35. I had the “fish of the day”. Today it was sashimi grade Grouper, I ordered it seared and blackened. It was accompanied with a fresh vinaigrette salad, rice, and potatoes. Just a beautiful experience. Great music. They have Hookah also.
This is my fav spot on Ft. Lauderdale beach strip! It’s is soo chill!! The music is great, always. The vibe, the staff the people- all great but NOTHING not even their huge cute drinks are as amazing as the EXPANSIVE OCEAN VIEW. OMG look at my pics!!!! WOW. Marcelo our server was so polite and excellent- always on time. Their bathrooms are clean their building is beautiful and I LOVE coming here every time. Their food is great their menu is diverse and we really enjoy coming here every time. Right on the beach strip.
@darius4thandgoal says , “ ive been here plenty times but only to eat with ocean view. tbh i didnt even know there was an inside like this frfr … its wayy bigger than i thought. you see it wasnt super super busy this night but i always tell people fort lauderdale is vacation for a fair amount of people so its always a good time if your cool. rockbar didnt charge a cover thats why we ended up there in the first place. id come back “
Nice place with excellent food, the service staff are not in your face all the time which is nice for the most part. If you are the sort of person who needs immediate service all the time you may be disappointed.the only negative is they have a service charge which is beyond the tip.....and just talked to my waitress and dumped half of my review. The service charge is 15%, 5 percent of that does go to the restaurant the other 10 percent goes to the waitress. (Or waiter) From what she said the beach tourists are not great tippers and tend to shaft their waiters. Rock bar went from a 4 to a 5 in the course of writing this, so far I have nothing to complain about and will continue coming back.
Taylor at Rockbar is hands down the best bartender I’ve ever had. Her attention to detail is second to none—whether it’s remembering your drink order perfectly or making sure every cocktail is spot on, she delivers every time. Her customer service is truly world-class. She makes everyone feel welcome, valued, and taken care of, which creates an incredible atmosphere at Rockbar. If you’re looking for top-notch service and a great experience, Taylor is the reason to come here.
Best bar in town! If you come to Fort Lauderdale and you don’t stop at the rock bar and see Joao you’re messing up! Best service, best drinks, best food. Never give a spot 5 stars but this is different. You’ll be very disappointed if you don’t at least stop by for a drink and see Joao. Been to a lot of bars but he makes it feel like home. Recommend stopping here 10/10 basically JOAO IS THE BESTESTTTTT

Found this restaurant walking by beach and I Immediately notice the great vibes and sounds from their DJ. The bartender/waiter we had was so cool, and he recommended some great dishes that we loved!! They are known for their huge margaritas that we definitely couldn’t finish lol. I recommend this place for nice vibes, good music and awesome food..
I've been visiting for a month from Boston and must say Taylor has been amazing! This bar has a great view of the beach with parking right behind the building. I highly recommend stopping here for a great time and experience.
This place has a special space in my heart. I came to visit last week & it was my first time in 5 years. Food was good, hookah was ok (didn't last long) they use small coals. Service & drinks were great.

Been to rock bar a few times. You kind of end up there at the end of the night because they serve late night food and they have there buy one get one drinks. We sat in the outside patio and have to deal with all the drunken people passing by. I dont hate on the place it's been very reliable in the late night try it for your self.
One of the best view on the strip food was great drink wasn't as strong they claim she was new but have experience

I have to say this place is nice, it may need a few adjustments like for example: - si would have love to dance while drinking my super big margarita and listening to that awesome music. But there are no high tables outside. So after we were done, we left. O that was a shame! There is a club inside but those days we were there it was empty. So as an Idea, people could dance outside as well. -The first night out as a group of 5 we had to chase our server, as he was never in out corner. The lady at the entrance seamed Aldo Not very interested in working and did not pay attention when we were waving. Anyways we had an awesome evening with what was available. -be carefuke when ordering Margaritas, they assume you want the big one. Always be specific!
This place has amazing vibes and really cool interiors. They play cool techno during the day, but the music at night is not that great. Also, the drinks are ridiculously expensive and they charge you double price for a drink at the bar on the dance floor. So, I got a screwdriver at that bar for $25, but the bar on the left side is less greedy… only $15 for the same drink
Enjoyed some delicious 😋 crispy chicken 🐔 here. My date did say he didn't taste any alcohol in his beverage of choice. I didn't taste any either in my drink, but the delicious 😋 chicken made up for that.
Our experience was a great one however the only flaw was a particular female bartender kept serving an already drunk couple of people and there was no security to step in to escort the individuals out of the establishment,instead of putting the responsible patrons at risk, if security can step up for the safety of the patrons then management needs to. The DJ was on fire though.
This is a cool spot in Fort Lauderdale right across the street from Fort Lauderdale beach. The seating is outdoors, either at a bar or on the designated dining section. The inside is large and that's where you can dance the night away The DJ plays a nice variety of music that many can enjoy. They also offer hookahs of at least 10 different flavors that cost approximately $30. There is also a 45oz red or white Sangria that can be purchased for approximately $16. The food isn't bad either and the rates are reasonable. FYI though the restaurant/bar charges 15 percent to your bill for a convenience fee (which the waiter said is because they are located on the beach).
My experience was good and the vibe was nice and the DJ was pump. Security measures was intack I felt safe. However, organization is need at the front. If there is going to be a line the hostess need to indicate which line is for seating outside and which line for person going inside. Plus the server can introduce them self and tell us their name it makes things a little better, oh and the calamari was bad (you need to add flavor or something more to those calamari). My chicken finger and fries was good and the drinks was really good.
Nice location on the water, busy strip in the area. Service was lacking after initial order, hookah was $46 and $30 meals had no sides. Food was ok but not incredible. Has a huge night club area inside with dj booths and bars. Definitely one of the scenes for going out on a busy night in Fort Lauderdale.
We’ve visited on many occasions and jumbo drinks are a must! The food is average, but tastes much better about half way through your jumbo drink. The tables and benches need refurbishing but it does have a great atmosphere with awesome views and we visit every time we’re in town. I’d recommend
The food is GOOD!! I got the rice and chicken inside the pineapple. I went back and got the shrimp kebab and that was good too!! I was disappointed EVERY-TIME I ordered a drink here. All the drinks are weak! I ordered a big margarita, I think it cost me like $55, I didn't even get a buzz off it. I gave them two more chances, all the drinks were the same. I could not get tipsy. Im a super lightweight drinker. The drinks at my hotel were way better. So my advice is to eat here but dont drink here. The service was okay. You have the option to keep the tab open or pay right away… but Once you pay.. they disappear. They had a great DJ as well.

The food here is great, and the drinks are tasty, but this place was dead each night I went to it. It’s the “Rock Bar” but it’s most commonly just loud club music on full blast. They could at least play a mix of rock music or something to be true to their theme. I’m not sure who makes the decisions regarding the music selection here, but perhaps they should re-evaluate.
We had the grilled fish tacos ($22) & shrimp tacos ($22) and side orders of onion rings ($7) & sweet potato waffle fries ($7) for lunch on a weekday. We were surprised to see a 20% surcharge fee which was explained as a “tip for the staff”. (It came out to be around $10.) With tax, our total lunch was $71. I guess it was a good thing that it was already calculated into our check, even though we would have left more for our server. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the tacos. (The onion rings & sweet potato waffle fries weren’t as good.)
Margaritas were 2 for 1 and had chicken tacos and it came to $75. Chicken was very dry and sauce not great. tortillas were really stuck together and caused a mess trying to separate. Wish I would have ordered something else. There was a DJ and pretty good vibe for the outdoor seating area. Looks like it’s a club atmosphere inside. Nothing good to say about the restroom area. Service people were pretty cool.

The oysters are good but I ordered Beef Tacos, in the description they are beef tips but it’s basic ground beef that’s super oily for $22 and I can absolutely make these at home with a taco kit from Walmart. Ehhh come here if you’re absolutely starving
Drinks were ok. It was a slow night when we're were there. We had the sampler appetizer. Shrimps were very good. Onion rings too. Chicken was ok. The 2 for 1 margaritas were kinda week. I had the strawberry wife had the sour apple. Mine was good. In the sweet side. She said hers was very sour. All in all good. 3.5 stars only because it was kinda dead but we left around 9pm that's why.
Food was great! But it took our waiter an hour to even get our order to us. They had other employees just standing around while we were waiting for our food and check. It was pretty early and hardly anybody was there yet to eat. It was my last day of vacation so it definitely was aggravating that I had to wait so long. We were there for over 2 hours and it took us maybe 15 minutes to eat.
DJ SUCKED on VDAY. Pleaseee fix it and this place would be great. Play dancing jams nobody wants to hear techno all night or the beginning of a good song for it to end up being another song that nobody even LIKES! Let the songs play !
Came to rock bar with my partner. Bought two drinks which were decent and a plate of nachos .. way too expensive . Drinks were suppose to be buy one get one free and everything was $100 . How ? Music was too loud but the atmosphere is nice ofcourse , if you care to be by the beach and people watch
Will NOT RETURN!!!! I came to this location before a storm was threatening in the area. The hostess sat me at a high top table right away. 10 minutes passed and I thought, "Okay, maybe someone will come soon." 20 minutes passed, and still no waiter/waitress & no acknowledgment. I walked back to the hostess and requested a manager. Then, of course, i look like the bad guy! What made me very bothered was the fact that others sitting in the same area received service but me and another patron. One worker told me there was confusion due to the rain. I said when I was seated, it was not raining. Therefore, that is not an adequate reason to leave me sitting there for 30+ minutes before someone ever came to my table. Do a better job with your customer service, and don't make inadequate excuses! Thank you, Billy, for your assistance! You allowed me to update my overall rating from one star to three!
If you want to dance on Fort Lauderdale Beach ... This would be a fun place... I was sitting by myself with a drink and a hookah ... The hookah by far, was not the best I've had. The flavors and Shisha brands are limited to I believe Al Fakher and Adalya. Seems like only one person knew anything about Hookah... But I watched them make some big mistakes to someone else's Hookah ... Essentially making it end way quicker than it should have.
I had high hopes for this place as I have always wanted to come here. The food was great and their big drinks are two for one which is great but I drinks weren't all that. Also the hookah flavors aren't all that good or at least the berry and strawberries and banana ones weren't for us. Also they play great music BUT they also have a DJ for next door and if you are sitting to close to the other side you hear both sides of music which in my case gave me a headache.
Decent beach side food and prices were normal. This is nor a negative comment, and if you are looking for beach side bar food I recommend it. Our wait staff was the best. Looking for a table over looking Fort Lauderdale, this is a good spot.
2x1 jumbo drinks are too expensive. Beer bucket tastes like water. Also, why plastic cups for draft beer?! That’s horrible. You are keeping the credit card all night (even though it’s Monday the place is empty and we are sitting in a table) so you could serve beer in real pints… it makes all the difference. The best part was the music! Great DJ. Nice outdoor seating. We had some fries and sweet potatoes that were just ok. Service was good. Something weird happend though. Waiter came with the bill we checked it and it was ok (expensive but ok) when we pay with the posnet, they charged us a different table. Honestly we didn’t notice, the waiter did, who came a few minutes ago, asked to se our ticket and explained the situation. So he cancelled the first payment and we had to pay again for the correct one. The problem with this is that the money doesn’t go back to our account instantly. We have to wait and see… M
Beer was cold and food was okay. The bartender was either having a bad day or just wasn’t loving life tonight. A simple hello or acknowledgment could go a long way.
This place could be really nice and the artwork is cool but it is always so dirty and smelly. Especially the women's bathroom and the outdoor pool area. The bathroom is always trashed and all the toilets broken/no toilet paper/ filled with diarrhea everytime I have went here no matter what time of day afternoon or evening. So it's impossible to stay and hang out there. The pool smells so bad because it's by the dumpster so it always smells like garbage back there and it is really hard to make it enjoyable. I wish they would clean up the place so eating and drinking there could be more tolerable. I think the food and drinks were half decent for a bar.
Good fresh food very pricey but I guess you’re probably paying for the ambiance and location. Buy on get one is not that great of a deal when the drinks are $24.00 for one. Overall it was ok but I probably would not go back. Tip was already included and our total for apps two beers and coffee was 240.00. Way too much for what we had. I could have went to meat market and had a three course meal for two for three price. Our beer spilled because of the spaces in between the table and the server said he would bring us another.. he did.. then added it to our bill!!! Really!!

We were walking the beach and decided to stop in and get a drink before we had to get back on the water taxi. I ordered a pina colada which was a pre-made drink and calamari. The bar tender wasn't all that friendly, the drink was mediocre for $25 and the calamari was severely over cooked and hard. I spent $50 on the worst drink and food I've had in a long time. I can't believe this what they are offering to people. The only thing I liked was the decor.
Wasn’t very impressed. The nice part was that it was right by the beach. Or if you want the jumbo margarita and don’t mind paying $40 for it, this might be the spot for you. Service was slow, there was no soap in the bathrooms, and food wasn’t the greatest. They advertised 2 for 1 margaritas but didn’t have prices in the menu. Come to find out, $38 if you want one and $41 for two - each 45 ounces. Didn’t seem like the best value.
Food overpriced. Took forever for a server to come when seated. Music was okay, but super loud. REVIEW YOUR CHARGES. Server said margaritas was two for one, but then proceeded to attempt to charge full price for both. Margaritas are huge (which is good), but are super weak. Not worth the price. Gratuity is already added on but servers will try to add on tip if you don’t catch it. Wouldn’t recommend.
I ordered the jumbo sex on the beach which was watered down and Steak Fajitas. Usually when I order Fajitas from other places it is VERY hot and fresh, these were not fresh at all, I also had more peppers/onions (which were cut very large) than small cuts of steak and the steak had no flavor at all. Very disappointing!
Menu wasn’t the same as online. Got the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, pasta was bland, shrimp over cooked. Boyfriend got the tropical grilled chicken salad. Fruit tasted frozen and watered down, chicken didn’t look grilled. Overall not good quality food for the prices
I've came here around February this year, I had a good time the server was nice and all. The bathroom was dirty, the food waiting time was a good 30-35 minutes. I went back last month and man oh man. The bathroom was super dirty but the lady in there was super nice, the music is loud and it’s not some good music you can vibe to. Outside was very crowded, our server was nice. The food wasn’t that good both time I came here. The chicken wings was the only thing that tasted good. The pina coladas I order was very watery I asked one of the servers can they change it for me she went and just added alcohol to it, the drink was more watery full of alcohol taste bitter the drink was just nasty, they still charged me for it it me it. The bill was a lot I was surprised because we did not order a lot of food. This is just an overhyped place for no reason, to be honest.
Do not recommend. Food is subpar. The giant drinks are 2-for-1 but they were sour. Waiter was not present. They took my card and held onto it the entire time we were there. Huge flag for me.

I've never had service, food, and drinks so bad that it made me angry. This was the first. I should have listened to my gut and went somewhere else. Lesson learned not to let your hungry man child co…

Totally over priced. So not what it used to be 10 years ago. Would not recommend. Total rip off
Very expensive with poor quality food and poor service and then the audacity to add an 18% service charge. I would not go here again.

We visited from out of state with Florida friends and were shocked to find we were charged more than they were — for the exact same drinks. It became clear that because we weren’t locals, the staff…
We had a truly disappointing experience at this place that others should definitely know about. We ordered five virgin mojitos for our family, and not only were they super overpriced at $130 total, but they also just didn't taste good at all—we barely finished a sixth of each drink. Plus, there was an automatic 18% service charge that wasn’t clear, and to make things even more uncomfortable, they held onto my debit card the entire time as a "policy" to keep the tab open, which felt really odd. After this experience, I actually went and read other reviews and realized that many people had similar complaints. I definitely regret not checking them beforehand. Hopefully, this review helps others avoid the same disappointment we went through.
I was surprised by the price of piña colada and shrimp at The Rock Bar - it was $109.48! It's like they're taking advantage of people who eat there. Also, no WiFi? Lesson learned! When I went to the washroom, I told the lady, 'I'll be right back, can you please watch my piña colada and everything on the table?' But when I returned, they had already cleared the table! SCAMMER👎👎👎👎👎
Do not order the fijitas. They skimp you on the protien. This place is definitely a tourist trap. My pic is after eating a couple of bites of the chicken that was actually included. Also margs are watered down. Management sucks, when I politely complained they couldn’t care less.
The drinks were overpriced for the quality, and unfortunately they didn’t taste good either. On top of that, the restaurant holds onto your credit card, which felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. Overall, the experience didn’t match the prices or expectations, and I wouldn’t return. They already add 18% gratuity and don’t provide a receipt to try to confuse you into double tipping.
The dj said he only catering to Spanish people Because that’s who mostly in the building and I feel if you go to a club it should be all different type of music so everybody feel confortable and welcoming one thing and only thing was good the bartenders are very friendly and welcoming making excellent drinks .

Horrible experience! Last night I decided to visit rockbar again as I have been a loyal customer for over a decade. When I arrived it wasn't the same, the booths were gone and the staff was soooo rude !!! Online the hours said till 4 am but we hadn't even finished our food and we were being told to leave. Two different security guards came up to us to get us to leave without even paying for our bill. When our bill came they sneakily tried to charge us for 4 drinks instead of the buy one went on free and we had to study the bill and ask several times before they realized their "mistake" we weren't even there for 30 minutes and they were trying to slap us with a 300 dollar tap. The table next to ours was complaining of a similar situation but they did not care. NEVER coming to this establishment EVER again and telling everyone on my socials to stay very far away from this scam
Prepare yourself for a culinary disaster of epic proportions! Picture this: a night out at the infamous Rockbar, known for its legendary music and vibrant atmosphere. However, my excitement quickly turned to dismay as I ordered their wings. The disappointment was so profound that I couldn't help but compare them to a distant memory of better food. The wings that emerged were nothing more than sad remnants hastily thrown together, as if they were an afterthought. It was as if they had simply grabbed a bag of frozen Tyson wings from a bulk store like Costco. To make matters worse, they weren't even cooked properly, leaving them strangely raw and tasteless. They touted these wings as "build your own," but it felt like a cruel joke. The sauces on the side wings were barely fried, lacking any crispiness that makes wings truly irresistible. And when it came to choosing a dipping sauce, the options were limited to a confusing and mismatched combo – a so-called "Mexican" wing with a Thai chili sauce. The disappointment and betrayal were palpable. As if that weren't bad enough, the incompetence of the waiter added further frustration. When I inquired about the beer selection, he seemed clueless and couldn't even name what they served. Instead of trying to find out, he simply brushed us off, claiming they only had one IPA. It was an absolute joke of a dining experience at Rockbar. The tasteless wings, the sauce debacle, and the uninformed waiter left me vowing never to return. This dining disaster is a tale of woe that shall be told for generations to come – five out of five will not dare to eat there ever again.
My wife and I loved people watching. The music was good. Wait staff was nice. But, we ordered chips with salsa and guacamole and a “241” margarita. I don’t drink and she only had 1.5 margaritas over the course of a couple of hours. About 3 hours later at home (no other food or drinks), we’re so sick. Feels like cross contamination, maybe raw meat on a cutting board? I get that things happen and whatnot, but with how packed this place gets given its location, food handling has to be a number one priority. No exception. Rock Bar, if you’re reading this, please double check your kitchen!
So I see why I stopped coming here. I went here 2days ago and I still can’t believe the customer service, it’s even worse now. It took over 20 mins before a waiter came to greet us not only for him to take another 20 mins just to come back to take our order. The food was ok nothing to brag about but the drinks are strong and they have hookahs. This was definitely my last time and the fact that the bathrooms were disgusting they didn’t even have soap and and missing toilet seats was the last straw for me .
I've never come across an attitude as bad as the bartender Vivi. She literally rolled her eyes every 5 seconds because she thought she was hot stuff, which she is not. When I spoke with the "manager" Nicole, she told me I could move if I wanted to. She didn't correct the rude server's behavior, but instead asked the customer to relocate. Mind you I was literally the only customer there. The last time I was here there was throwup all over the bathrooms. I would recommend The Elbow Room, Blondies or Cafe Ibiza for better service and higher quality people. I would avoid the bartender Vivi like the plague. She is extremely unprofessional and rude. The throwup covering the floors was beyond disgusting.
Cool bar with a chill environment. Went with a party of 4 and were seated fairly quickly despite it being a Saturday evening. Drinks were pretty good and the margaritas for the price of 2 for $27, were worth the price. My biggest complaint was the service. We had to wait a while before our orders were taken. We had to ask our server multiple times for things before receiving them (I.e. waters, more drinks) and had to ask a different server for our check because we didn't know where our server was and had been waiting a while. Imagine our surprise when we got our tab with a 36% SERVICE CHARGE. For a total of 6 drinks for 4 people. Completely ridiculous. Do not recommend.
horrible experience! I was rushed out of the establishment by two security guards saying "were closed you have to leave NOW" (despite the hours online stating it would be open for another 2 hours) mind you I hadn't even paid for the tab or finished my food. the kept trying to give us to go containers but we ordered oysters and nachos, by the time i got home the food would be bad. my girlfriend was rushing to eat her nachos and even choked on a bite. RIDICULOUS experience! i have never been treated so subhuman at an establishment before.
We are in town for vacation and was so excited to try this place BUT to our surprise it wasn’t a good experience at all. We sat down and the waitress AKA bartender (according to her) brought us water and wasted it then was irritated that we asked for napkins. She then seemed irritated that we weren’t familiar with the menu to know exactly what we wanted. So needless to say we LEFT and went to a place that wanted our business. FAFO
Our recent lunch experience at this restaurant was a lesson in how a great location and good music can't make up for poor service and underwhelming food and drinks. The restaurant's fantastic view and lively atmosphere were certainly a plus, but the rest of our meal left much to be desired. From the start, the service was disappointing. Our drink order was wrong, and our server was largely absent throughout the meal. We waited a long time for her to check on us, and when the bill came, we had to chase her down to get our receipt. We took advantage of the two-for-one "mega drinks," a special advertised as 45 ounces each. Unfortunately, despite the massive size, the drinks seemed incredibly weak. At over $80 for just two of these poor cocktails and an order of average chicken nachos, the value was simply not there. The bill was also a bit confusing. A mandatory 18% service charge was automatically added, and the "special" was applied like a coupon.
Came to Rock Bar for lunch, drinks, and hookahs on a Thursday. Place was not that packed but hostess/staff whoever never seated us we literally just sat ourselves. 10...20mins still no waiter. Asked a waitress passing if someone was going to serve us she just said yea and kept walking. Finally the waiter appears he's very rude for no reason (we never even complained about how long it took him). We were in such good spirits that we all kind of ignored the fact of how rude he was but all 3 of my friends silently noticed it. He carded us for drinks when we saw no one else get carded the entire time we were there. Ok no biggie he tried to laugh it off and say we looked young (mind you ALL of us are 40 or older) we don't look it but we definitely don't look underage either. Asked him for a hookah he came back with the price list and said "I'll let you think about if you want it or not" after we had already said we did for sure. Maybe he thought the price would run us off. He messed up our drink order then tried to argue as to what we said when he clearly was wrong. Food was subpar. Calamari was bland, bang bang shrimp were just friend shrimp just ok, and chicken wings were ok. Bathroom was absolutely disgusting. It was too early in the day for it to be smelling and looking that way. Toilet had no seat cover and from looking at the other reviews it's been that was for over a month. That's unacceptable and gross. Looks like a gas station outside bathroom. For them to automatically add an 18% gratuity on the bill is absurd with how $hitty the service was. I like to tip based on how well they actually did. Server disappeared and never checked on us. And clearly they don't care about service because they still get a hefty tip no matter what. I recommend staff customer service training and hiring someone to clean the bathroom regularly. View is awesome and drinks are strong but expensive.
We visited from out of state with Florida friends and were shocked to find we were charged more than they were for the exact same drinks. It became clear that because we weren’t locals, the staff felt comfortable adjusting prices to suit them. Even our Uber drivers later confirmed this isn’t uncommon here, which is really disappointing. Prices should be transparent, not based on who you are or where you’re from. We expected a fun night, but instead felt taken advantage of. Definitely wouldn’t return or recommend.
So disappointed that eat here everytime I go to beach and I tried this time to get my food for to go because I wanted to eat front of the beach but the waitress indicated us to order at the bar because was for to go. I indicated her that I wanted to sit but get my food for to go to don’t leave my stuff for sit front the beach nowhere, well this girl again indicated us that it wasn’t possible and that we need to order at the bar. So I did it but I said “okay if they’re refusing to give me the service then I won’t tip” well I ordered and the guy was charging me the tip on the apple pay, I asked him to retired the tip because there was no service so I just wanted to pay for the food. He started LYING and saying that it wasn’t the tip or service that this charge was just the TAXES. that is STEAL! Order was two Lomo Saltado; Taxes was 4$, service fee or tip 15$ that they refused to delete; so you guys employees refused to give a service but wanted to charge for the service they never gave. I cancelled the order nobody gonna treat me bad, lie to me and steal my money all at the same time. Disgusting service! Horrible experience, you guys ruin my beach day mood! So my recommendation is, let your customers sit and order for to go like any other restaurant if you guys want to charge tip or service!
Endured what absolutely felt like profiling. Went to eat there with family members. First group sat down and ordered without issues, second group sat down tried to order and got told they have to put a card on file first. Never have I heard of a restaurant or establishment asking for a card to be put on file in order to place a dine in order. We decided to leave and the waitress tried to charge us for items that we had yet to receive instead of only the food that we got. Absolutely would not recommend spending money here.

Ordered a water. Was expecting a complimentary glass of water. Was willing to tip accordingly to find $4.68 for bottle water of water i did not agree to. I am a repeat customer and I do not appreciate the way i was treated. I will not be returning. I understand times may be hard but don’t tak it out on me. Perhaps you should reevaluate the bartenders you employ.

If you've spent any time strolling the Fort Lauderdale boardwalk, chances are you've either passed by Rock Bar or ended up there at some point.
