    BBQ pork nachos
    Alex R.

    Fun spot to catch a show! Plenty of parking between the adjacent lots and parking across the street. Definitely recommend getting a spot staked out early for a sold out show. There are some tables on the first floor but more on the second, only a handful have a view of the stage though. Drink and food service was pretty prompt while we were there and the nachos were a huge portion. Would come back for another show.

    Decent sized venue with open area in front of stage. Bar is set back a ways. Some tables inside, but large outdoor patio area with many tables. Servers providing table service. Plenty of parking. Bar service was VERY slow. There were three bartenders for a sold out show and not all of them were operating at the same speed. Waited 25 minutes in line so I decided that was my only drink.

    I have been to Old Rock House a few times for EDM shows. It's very casual and fun. There are two floors which I love - you can be in the pit downstairs or hang upstairs for a more chill vibe and there is even some seating. There is also an outdoor area where you can get some air. They keep the temperature inside very balanced, though it gets hotter as the night goes on like most places. A bar on each floor which keeps the wait for a drink very short. They are really strict about the one drink per person rule (like if you're getting a drink for a friend, the friend has to be physically there too). I don't mind the rule but I saw others get a little grouchy about it. There is a $10 minimum. They have a great selection of liquor though nothing super fancy. Drink prices are normal and affordable for a music venue. The bartenders are super fun, especially the one named "Smash." I often see staff engaging with patrons and even dancing to the music, making the vibe really fun and welcoming. The crowds there, the times I have been there, are usually fun and polite albeit drunk. I have been offered drugs there a couple of times but no one was ever aggressive about it. There is staff everywhere so it feels safe. The crowd tends to be MESSY though - the STICKIEST floors! The bathrooms are a downside because there are only 2 stalls and the restroom is small overall. It's usually well stocked, though. The sound is pretty good for such a casual venue, too. I don't ever feel like it's muffled or too loud, the volume is balanced and it sounds good from both the bottom and the top floor. Lighting wise, they need more lasers! Parking can be a challenge at times (depending on when you get there) but there is a pretty big lot and a small area of street parking.

    This place is hip and nice inside. Good lighting and decor. Seating inside and out with a great view of the arch. Small stage but casual dressed spot. Great customer service on a concert Saturday night. Even got some food which I'm very appreciative of so late at night. Definitely come again! Great first time!

    We've been wanting to come to this place for quite sometime, but waiting for the perfect band/singer to come and see. We went to the William Clark Green concert and this was the perfect venue for it. We got there early and got some decent seats on the second level. They had a waitress come around and take drink orders which was super nice. The venue is nice and the acoustics were amazing! Great spot to see a concert.

    Saw Yves Tumor here with my bro and it was unforgettable. Drinks for me were cheap and good. But if you're under 21 and hoping for a bite after a show you may be out of luck downtown. Great time - I'd come back to this venue again.

    Great venue. Friendly staff. Easy parking. Clean. Reasonably priced drinks. We had fun!

    BBQ brisket flatbread

    Never been here before but won a couple of tickets fromcRiver Front Times to see Laith Al-Saaid from "The Voice". I have never heard him or watched the show but on a Sunday night with no work on MLK I was game! And of course it was an opportunity to try the food! I am definitely not a bar scene girl and this was definitely that. But I found a cozy spot on a loveseat and saw they had closed circuit tv so the fact I wasn't sitting in proximity to the band was cool since I could see it on the screen close to me. I ordered a rum punch for $5 and the bbq brisket flatbread. The flatbread has brisket, bbq sauce, caramelized onions, mozzarella, and Parmesan and it was pretty good. Brisket was tender and flavorful. I was expecting something more for $10, it seem relatively small for the price but I get it, the venue has to make money on the food. They did bring me some complementary sweet bites with my food which was perfect for a sugarhead like me, so that was much appreciated. Overall it was a good night out and better than staying home. Katie who helped me was very nice and more attentive to me when I wanted to place an order than the others. The bartender and the other waitresses initially seemed to be too busy to be bothered when I walked in. Even after I sat at the bar for awhile, the bartender to the order of 2 men before me who came up to the bar after me. After the bar cleared out then she asked if I wanted anything. I chose not to place an order with her and waited until I saw someone else at the bar and approached her. That was Katie who immediately greeted me with a warm smile and asked what she could get me. I may be back depending on who is playing. The drink price was excellent for a special so I would highly suggest ordering a drink on special so you can drink more on a budget. This place is NOT diverse, and I felt totally out of place but if you can overlook that or you are one of the mainstream customers here, then you might want to check it out.

    My husband and I had our reception at the Old Rock House in October and I have never had such a great experience!! Ashley kept contact with me from the time we booked the venue right until the day before. She and her team accommodated my every want and need (no matter how bizarre)! Ashley made me feel like an actual bride. She assured me there is no stupid questions or requests and also made me feel at ease. I am not a decorator, but she is! I wasn't sure my vision would come to life for our reception, but when I walked in the venue, tears came to my eyes! The whole night Ashley made sure we were doing ok and if there was a problem she was on it right away. I could not thank her or her team enough. The food was also SOOO delicious. They make it in house and I have never had such good food at a wedding. We had compliments all night!! If you are looking for a venue and don't know where to begin with planning/decorating, I suggest you choose Old Rock House. I was able to delegate so many things to Ashley the week of the wedding and was not disappointed. This venue is affordable and everyone works so hard to truly make you feel like it is YOUR day!!!!!!! Thank you so much Ashley and Old Rock House. I wish we could do it all again!

    I'm the Duke so I guess I should write a review. (I only come here for bands I know) I like the long narrow "shotgun" style bars/venue like this for acoustics that allow sound waves to fully develop and not much echo. The stage is in the back will a descent sized dance floor in front of it for most rock bands. Tables and couch type seating is the middle section. The font has the bar. There is a wide sidewalk cafe or patio seating that the full length of the bar when you or the band takes a break. They offer a V.I.P. balcony area that I have never been cool enough (or willing to pay for) to see. Another event space in the basement is advertised, but I haven't explored. Bartenders have always been pros by constantly waiting on people. I have waited, but because of crowd & not effort. The bar is well stocked on good local beer. A cool touch for a venue is one TV shows a live feed of the show. I have seen food here, but never ate. Tonight I saw Thrax. I admit I know one of the players, but this is about the venue. The show was great.

We arrived a little after 11 and found a space in the back parking lot. The lot is convenient as it's pretty well-lit and is diagonal from the CF. We entered through the back where the deck is and walked right in. Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.

The staff... wow.. another story.. Outside bar had an AMAZING waitress, Jess, that truely made our nights and was so awesome and fun. Jess deserves a raise and if you go to Venice cafe avoid literally any bar tender except for Jess. The old lady bar tender on inside bar took two extra dollars from me (I guess thinking I wasn't gonna tip? ) despite me leaving three on the bar and me pointing it out to her. Then a very very large brown haired curly bearded man completely ignored me at the bar, at like 4pm it was me standing directly in front of the bar by myself while he had co convos and gave bar backs shots. I couldn't have made this up.. I couldn't think of anything to even say to address that wasnt not kind or out of pocket so I left. It was an unreal experience and from what I've heard about management just from patrons there they wouldn't care anyway, it was alienating and gross behavior. Venice cafe had a good reputation and it was on my list forever, but I've already shared with more of my groups that we can go somewhere else and be treated much better. I'd second guess this option unless Jess is working outside in the bar.
