We came in for one drink. They have a selection of alcohols that is unsurpassed by anywhere else I have been. Since they had absinthe, I inquired about a green Fairy. They made it specially for me. Heavenly! If you want an exotic poor it can run you over $2500. Be careful what you order. We came on a Friday with a live jazz band. Service was perfect. read more

Always a big fan of Rock and Rye. The bar looks amazing and there is a wide variety of drinks to choose from many of which are very unique. Many great whisky/bourbon options as well. Service is great at this location. Sometimes they have live music and it can get quite loud as the venue isn't super large and they'll bring in drums and conversation gets pretty tough but regardless - still give this place 5/5 read more

We have been to Rock and Rye a couple of times and it is always a perfect... drinks and ambiance. Today, our bartender was David, and his tiki drink game is strong! read more

One of my favorite places to be and last night was the perfect crowd not to busy and not to quiet even had a live jazz band which the music was not to bad. Bartenders are quick to take your order and you're always noticed by them so you're not just standing there feeling awkward. For us older guys or ladies ask for reading lamp since the spirit and cocktail book can be pretty hard to read since the lighting can be little dim. They have just about every type of spirit your palate enjoys and can afford as well as some very expensive ones. Crowd has always been good,on weekdays it's more of mature crowd mix with little bit of young people and weekends can feel little bit of college night or hipster atmosphere but nonetheless still cool crowd. I am always take care of my bartenders by always tipping them and you be surprised they'll remember you and always give a more extra pour. Wink Wink. There's Beer on draft and selective beer bottles don't know what they are I rarely drink beer there....oh they have a outdoor patio so you can purchase cigars in the lounge and smoke in the patio or bring your own and the seating inside is really nice. See y'all there! Cheers!!! read more

I used to bartend in dive bars--good times, but nothing like what these mixologists are doing here. The craft, the creativity, the precision... it's on another level. I've had the pleasure of meeting several of the bartenders (BB, David, Dominic, Spencer, and Jorge), and they're not only incredibly skilled but genuinely awesome people. True professionals all around. I'm still learning everyone's names, but every visit just reinforces how great this team is. I don't leave reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one. After more than 30 years in the service industry and countless visits to restaurants and bars, it takes a lot to impress me--and this spot does it every single time. The drinks are exceptional, the service is consistently fantastic, and the knowledge behind the bar is top-tier. I highly recommend stopping in and trying their spectacular creations. You won't be disappointed. read more

Rock & Rye was a very fun bar to visit. I went with a party of six, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed. It wasn't overly loud, so we were able to easily hear each other and enjoy conversation. I really enjoyed their cocktails--especially the Northern Exposure. I would definitely go back again! read more

We like this place and the vibe and selection. We come here often. Today was a first though. Found it very odd though that I have cash and want to pay cash and am told it's mandatory to open a tab with a card and Incan use cash later. Why on earth?? Also on the online menu the summer series of drinks only shows pictures of pretty drinks with no names or ingredients. Edit, I was willing to cash out on the spot as I ordered, so the credit card was unnecessary. But I understand your comment for most situations but it shouldn't have applied when I was ready to cash out after just one. read more

There's some fucking kid in this bar that makes the most unbelievable drinks, fantastic customer service, but he likes Tottenham, so that's just automatically makes the worst human on the planet, but his drinks are amazing. And the vibe here is great. Phhukk Tottenham GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED read more

The best whiskey selection on the northwest side of town. Good service, but Scottish pronunciation throws them for a bit of a loop - very understandable in South Texas, but maybe something that can be worked on. read more

This is my second time at Rock and Rye and, it just keeps getting better and better. I came with a friend and was unsure what I wanted as it's a specialty cocktail joint that steers clear of the usual rum and coke and evolves into a work of art in the liquid form. We ended up with Alex and he asked me a few questions and quickly guessed right on point for what I was looking for. He ended up serving me a Tater Swift...(secret menu item) and it was perfect! It was a sweet potato,coffee and nutmeg creamy type concoction that made my taste buds do a backflip. They also have a great selection of mocktails for the non drinkers like my friend. My friend ended up with a Strawberry delight and was very satisfied with this refreshing concoction. All of the employees here gave top knotch friendly service, and I enjoyed the environment. The bar was spacious and chairs were comfortable. They have a beautiful selection and array of bottles going to the ceiling. I noticed some cuties and pops mingled in there like my boy Grogu (baby Yoda). This place has gone way above my expectations, and I hope to return soon to try some food items. I noticed several sandwiches that caught my eye. Rock and Rye will rock your world! Definitely give them a try. read more

Great space, amazing cocktails! David, our bartender, was knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a Speakeasy feel!

I love going to Rock and Rye. Overall, it's a nice, classy joint with great food/drink options and a calming atmosphere. SERVICE: Bouncer/security is always nice, personable, and respectful. Bartenders are similar. In all my experiences, they have been knowledgeable and always attentive, though never burdensome or pushy. DRINKS: Fantastic, eclectic arsenal of mixed drinks, beers, wines, liquors, and cigars. I am mainly into mixed drinks, so that's what I'll speak to. I've really been into the Q Cum Cocktail recently, which is vodka with dill, Serrano, lime, and cucumber. A bit unique, but right up my alley, personally. I also thoroughly enjoy the Ukraine Mule (Moscow Mule), Aviation Cocktail, and True Azul. Finally, I've had a few Chardonnays and never been dissatisfied. FOOD: I've only had the pretzel with assorted mustards, but I get it literally EVERY TIME. I love mustard as it is and this little dish (pictured below) always hits the spot. OVERALL: Fantastic bar that is relaxed and perfect for quieter evenings with friends or family. read more

Large bar area great for drinks and plenty of seating without a crowd. Food is light snacks so not meant for food. We got food way faster than drinks so the bread got cold. However they were nice and brought out waters before my table arrived. I'd go again for just drink. read more

My husband and I came here late night on a Friday but we were able to find a table quickly. You seat yourself. The booths are served by waiters and the high tops are self-serve where you have to order from the bar. Our waitress was very nice and brought me their tacos, that they only serve after midnight, early so that I could try them. The tacos consisted of ground beef, potatoes, and cheese. It was really good. They did have a live band on the night that we went (I'm not sure if they have live entertainment everyday that they're open). The crowd seemed like it was mixed from groups of 20 year olds to seniors. read more

Rock and Rye had an amazing selection of beautifully master drinks.

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive to my tastes. Love the atmosphere! read more

I had an incredible experience thanks to David! From the moment I sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They clearly know their craft...every cocktail was perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and made with care. What really stood out was their ability to read the room, recommend drinks based on taste, and keep the vibe upbeat without being overbearing. It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a great personality. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just want a good drink and a great atmosphere, David is the one you want behind the bar. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Pretty busy for a Wednesday night! The place is clean, our waitress Monica knows so much about the drink menu and she is pretty awesome. This is our daughters hang out with her friends and she thought we would love the drinks and she is absolutely right. The booths are super comfy and everyone is there for a good time. My daughter ordered my drink so I don't know what it was but it had fruity pebbles in it and it was fantastic. Everything everyone had was sooo good. I can't wait to go back. read more

If this place was closer to me I'd probably be there multiple times a week. What a great spot to pop in a have some GREAT drinks. Bar staff was awesome. Attentive, offered suggestions, and just overall great service. The vibe of the place was chill and sitting area outside was available for if you want to enjoy a cigar with your cocktails. Definitely my kinda place. Went there and spent way more time and way more money than I intended which means I was enjoying the drinks and the vibe of the establishment. Definitely will be going back read more

Spencer, Alex, and David always take excellent care of me and my bestie. Freaking love this place!!

I went there last night with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. There were 11 people total. We were able to pull a couple of tables together outside and had a great time. Three of my friends smoked cigars outside and they appeared to enjoy them very much. It was a busy Saturday night so it did take some time to get our drinks. One thing to know is that all of the alcoholic drinks on the menu have gin or whiskey in it. However they have a big mocktail menu too. This place is on the pricey side with my drink costing $20 each. But, that is to be expected when going for drinks at a classy speakeasy located at the Rim. read more
