Just wanted to have a good time in Staten Island. We started the day off by the water, and asked…read morethe locals where we should go. They recommended, this spot. We drove all but four minutes down the street to the starlight for "hole in the wall". When walking in we were carded and immediately went to the bar to get a drink. Francis was such a delight throughout the evening, but so were the local folks! Met some cool people and had some great conversations! I hope my new friends, I meet last night see this post and know we had a great time! Thank YOU! i'd recommend this place if you're just passing through and in the area. If you're a friendly person and looking to have a chill night and meet some locals, this is the spot! Enjoy. Prices are right Services is great People watching is highly recommended

Want to talk about a magnificent dive, this is it right here! To be labeled an exceptional dive in…read moremy book is not something I take lightly. It's about a warm inviting encompassing feel along with cold cheap drinks. This place has all bases covered and then some, right here in Staten Island. $3 drafts as cold as an arctic breeze and $3 basic shots, hello. 4 flat screens to catch your favorite game or horse race. Long shuffle board. Juke box always banging. Friendly environment, in fact upon my first visit I was offered 4 free Yankee tickets, I gladly accepted. No need for quiche or caviar here plus they don't serve food lol, but guess what you're aloud to bring food in and there's several places within walking distance. Definitely predominately an older dude hangout, but all are clearly welcome. Next to the a train station and within some what close proximity to the Outer bridge. 14 or 15 seats at the bar. Fairly small, but nicely cozy. Yep this guy is a big fan and expect to see my checks in from time to time.

I could immediately tell this place was going to be a good regular spot.

Between the atmosphere, the charm, the creativity, and the overall experience- I would vote this the best dive bar in NYC (I think Guy Fieri would agree). Tucked inside a historic building, this place has such a unique, intimate feel. The energy, the staff, the food, the drinks and the live band, was fuggetabouit I checked out their website and then experiencing it in person, I can confidently say... The Rock House is a VIBE for sure! So the space is on the smaller side, but all part of that neighborhood vibe. It's like Rock Glam meets neighborhood bar in like a Cheers type setting what I'm sure there are regulars. For a night out with 10 people- we locked down the bathroom corner and I actually enjoyed being able to sit close with my friends. Felt like we had best seats in the house but when you look around... everyone kind of has the best seats since the bar is central to the entire perimeter. As a nurse, I've only ever been out that way for Northwell on Seguine, so I had no idea there was even a spot like this tucked at the end. Hidden gem for sure. And don't let the word "bar" fool you okay this place delivers on food Big ups to "Rocker Jen," the owner, who was hanging out like one of the patrons, she not only served up looks, but jumped in to make her signature Bloody Mary. When I say it's a meal in a cup, I mean it- my inner foodie was so excited Onion rings, fried pickles, a bacon-wrapped hot dog, fried sweet shrimp, a pretzel, chicken fingers, and two of the best cheeseburger sliders I've had in a while. And you already know I'm a foodie... ahem Yelp Elite I really can't stop thinking of that delicious rim too. What really surprised me is that it's not just a bar with entertainment- I read- it's also dog-friendly, which makes it even better . Check out their website for happy hour details, events, and happenings... Rock House Bar and Grille knocked it out of the park. I'll absolutely be back. If you love Rock Music and good food and drinks- do not miss this place- enjoy

Bottom line: local bar, only takes cash, cheap drinks…read more Gluten line: no food....I think. But vodka is gluten free! Kinda. Anyway... Long line: actually not much more to say than the above. It's a local, semi hidden bar. Parking was just street side. Drinks were strong and fairly priced but having to pay cash is old school. Just gotta have the appropriate expectations. I did appreciate all the dart boards!

They had a good deal for open bar which was $30 all you can drink and the DJ was spinning some good music and there was enough room to dance around and enjoy yourself.

You can immediately tell that you're experiencing the work of someone who has spent years mastering his craft. Chef Joe didn't just add a few new dishes -- he designed an entirely new menu from the ground up, and the creativity, attention to detail, and execution really shine through. We tried several different dishes, and every single one felt thoughtfully created and beautifully executed. There was a clear balance of flavor, texture, presentation, and creativity in everything we tasted. What impressed me most is that the food doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to be fancy. It's simply really, really good food made by someone who understands his craft. Every bite felt intentional, and you can taste the experience behind it. And the experience didn't stop with the food. We also had some fantastic cocktails that paired perfectly with the atmosphere and the meal. Everything came together to make the entire night feel like a genuinely memorable dining experience. It's honestly refreshing to see a chef bring this level of passion and expertise to a restaurant. Chef Joe has something special here, and if this new menu is any indication of what's to come, The Alchemist Lounge is going to be a serious destination for food lovers. Do yourself a favor and come hungry -- order a few different things, grab a great cocktail, and experience the menu for yourself. Chef Joe absolutely knocked this one out of the park. Thanks for a 10/10 experience Chef Joe! We'll definitely be coming back. 5 stars without hesitation.

I got a Sazerac with cognac, I usually get that but this time they didn't have Pierre Ferran for they only had Ansac. I personally don't care for Ansac so I believe it totally changed the taste of the drink. The bartender could tell. I didn't like it and he asked me about four times " Are you sure I change it? It doesn't matter." I'm like if you're gonna ask me that many times then let's change it. So I got a sidecar and that was fire.

The bartender made a special drink for my friend since she was unsure of what she wanted so we told the bartender to make her something special.

There were a decent amount of people inside and it continued to get busier as the night progressed. They were playing afrobeats for music, which I heard wasn't the usual, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I sat at the bar and the bartender was pretty friendly but not as attentive as I'd like. I asked for something strong, and she gave me Malibu rum and blue curaçao, which I was confused at. It was good but not what I was looking for. It seemed like everyone knew each other at this place, thus the other people at the bar having the bartender's full attention. They have 3 pool tables, a ping pong table and some arcade games upstairs so on the busier nights, be prepared to hang around and wait for them to become available.
