$20 just to get in?? You only have a bar and a mechanical bull. Not worth it at all. Way better clubs only charge $10 and they play way better music. What a joke. Very disappointed. read more

My friend decided to have their birthday here. After looking at reviews, I didn't really have much expectations. However, while it wasn't great, it's not that bad either. We had a big group of around 15 people and despite my friend emailing them in advance, they did not have her reservation noted. It was a good thing we came early, about 8pm, so there was still a few empty tables. They told us it's free cover and free coat check before 8:30pm but on flyers it says before 9:30. So it's best to double check before you decide to go. Coat check is $3 usually. Idk about cover. Also, since she booked a birthday reservation, apparently we were suppose to get cowboy hats or at least the birthday girl was? No one gave that to us, I had to go to coat check to ask for my friend. Our server was nice, she came out with a better cowgirl hat later on that night. However, she initially forgot to take orders for myself and another friend in the party. Kinda surprising how she could miss us, since we were sitting right next to the bday girl. It wasn't even that busy then. Warning: The menu on the website and what we saw once there was vastly different! The menu they have there is extremely limited compared to what's online. For food, I ordered the BBQ chicken wings 1 pound for $11. It was okay but I can get better at St.Louis with a beer! Don't even have honey garlic flavour! Only BBQ and Frank's. For drinks, we had 2 pitchers w/ the most popular drink being the Bulldog ($15). It was pretty good, you get your drink in a bucket! Main attraction for us was the mechanical bull. I tried that thing twice and walked away with a bruise on my leg. Lol. Still, it's quite fun. They require you to show ID to ride this, and sign a consent form. They might also take a quick surprise picture of you as you finish the process. No idea what happened to the photo they took of me. Lol. After you finish form process, you also get a wristlet with "I braved the bull" on it. This is so you don't have to show your ID again on any future attempts. Saves time. Also, by the bar..some of the stools had saddles on them, which was kinda cool. Overall, good if you want to go for the theme/novelty of it and grab a drink in a bucket. But for food and customer service, they need to step it up. read more

this guy was awful. we went with a group and he literally turned away our friend that was 20 yrs old. provided multiple IDs and yet he still didn't let her in. the manager came too and said "it's his job". bunch of BS. honestly not worth the troubles read more

Rock 'N' Horse Saloon - really bad bouncer. should be fired - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If you choose to visit this establishment, I would recommend not to get your hopes op for a super experience. Bartenders and management are so unfriendly, I truly felt uncomfortable spending my money and tipping. Unfortunately I am not a person who will base tips on service. I will always tip 20 percent. When a person like myself goes out, I would like to be shown some appreciation from the employees rather than feeling like I am bothering someone to spend my money. I don't know what is happening in the lives of these employees, however when you're walking through the doors that pay your bills..., time to shake your personal lives off at the entrance. Just as some of your patrons could possibly be trying to do. End of the night, just be kind and try to be sure that guests are enjoying themselves. read more

What a wonderful establishment this place USE to be. Over 8 years I have ventured here over a dozen times. Recently my girl friends and I decided to go. (well I did) It was for my birthday and my girls were game. Spent some coin in the first 30 mins of stepping into a next to empty place. However didn't the local heifers come in and run the staff and did not like the skinny cows in the barn. So we didnt get branded. Sent straight to slaughter I thought I was pretty cordial when asking about where we could saddle up (Sit) for a cost. Apparently my cattle call wasn't good enough. Manager and bartenders could be waaay more friendly. The bar backs were so sweet. THE DJ -- AMAZING !!! The bull riding assistant guy. AMAZING. I hope that it was just an off night and this place will continue on. IM.... Hire some folks who are way more friendly to the out of town folks. After my last visit ... I honestly don't think I will choose this place. If I'm invited for someone else's outting, I would attend. However never will be my choice again. I'd rather just go to McDonald's and regret that. Don't let my last experience make up your mind. Just go and try It. yee ...no haw. read more

The Rock 'n Horse is a little slice of the country in the heart of downtown. Yes, you will get a chance to do line dancing here. The staff is nice and enthusiastic when serving drinks or teaching you the dance moves. But I have some complaints. The drinks were expensive. The food was not great. Plus, the place is very loud. Worst of all, despite the fact that we were a large group (20 people) who gave the place nice business (we had dinner and drinks), we were only able to reserve our table for a limited time and then were asked to vacate and move to the bar. At this point we moseyed on to another watering hole more deserving of our business. In the words of country star Sunny Sweeney "Staying's Worse Than Leaving". read more

Good old style country bar in Toronto I been here twice now and I enjoy my time. It's always pretty busy after 10. The crowd is ranging anywhere from 19-50/60 year olds ( just a few) mainly younger 20's Anyway I consider their main attraction the bull riding which is free and usually a 2 minute line Just have to sign a waiver before you go on, and it's pretty fun. The bar service and servers isn't all that great probably because they are busy but I also noticed so many employees walking around not doing much or enjoying themselves. The part I hate about this place is the drinks, they cheap out on the booze and under pour. I had the margarita and bloody ceaser and both had little to no alcohol in them. The both look nice and are presented really well. The shots are expensive and are served in little see through plastic shot glasses you can get from the dollar store. I was so disappointed about the drinks! Food: Nachos wee really really good I dont know why they had to put the sour cream guacamole and salas right on top I had a friend that is allergic to guacamole so they had to eat around it. Onions rings (no picture) were also very good nice and crispy and fresh Pre drink if you plan on coming here or stick to beer otherwise you are wasting your money read more

Rock 'N' Horse Saloon - Saloon sh*t - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I attended an awesome launch party for this newly opened saloon. There was line dancing, Spurlesque dancing (yes exotic line dancing) mechanical bull riding, and an enthusiastic margarita menu that features lime, mango, strawberry or raspberry. Perhaps the drink of the night for the brave cowgirls and cowboys was The Bulldog, a GIANT margarita topped with an upside-down bottle of Corona. read more

Rock 'N' Horse Saloon - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Can't speak to the food. I came here for the country music and the bull on a Saturday night, and had a BLAST! My friends and I usually don't listen to country but went with an open mind because this place is jokes. Cover was $14 and coat check was $3. Apparently on Friday ladies are free before 11. I thought this place was only going to be 19 year olds, but was surprised to find a mid 20s crowd. The atmosphere is what you'd expect for a country bar, I felt like I was in Calgary for Stampede. People wore their cowboy hats and a lot of plaid! Riding the bull was really fun. You sign a waiver, get a wristband, and wait in line. The line was about 5 minutes. The area beside and around the bull is heavily padded/safe. I highly recommend trying it for fun! read more

Came here for a friend's 40th birthday and it was actually quite a lot of fun. Our waitress was pretty attentive, which I was happy about, especially since it was for a special occasion. The food also came pretty quick after ordering. We opted for the package which included a drink, appetizer, main and dessert/another drink. All this for $35 per person which I thought was a pretty reasonable price. Plus, the birthday celebrant got a cowgirl hat that she was able to keep :) White Sangria - Not a big drinker especially when it comes to sangria. I'm now thinking that what I've had before was made in a certain way that did not agree with my tastebuds. Theirs was actually quite enjoyable as it tasted more like juice. 5/5. Cowboy Poutine - This, I thoroughly enjoyed! For an appetizer, it was actually a pretty good size. If you have read any of my previous reviews that involved poutine, I always say that it MUST be cheese curds with delicious gravy. Theirs was spot on. Though I do prefer fresh cut fries when it comes to poutines, the curds and their gravy went really well with their seasoned fries. 5/5. Pete's Pickles - Tried a bit of this and it was alright. The batter was nice but it would just fall off the pickle easily, unlike the other fried pickles I've had before. 3/5. Zac's Chicken Fried - Generous serving which also came with fries. I got pieces of white meat, with barely any skin on which is the best part. It was also overly seasoned so with he combination of fries, the dish was way too salty for me. The mushroom gravy, however, did kill off the saltiness quite a bit but you get a small amount. Was more like a condiment size to be honest. 3/5. Black-Jack Brownie - The Jack Daniels chocolate sauce caught my eye so this last part was an easy pick. I didn't find it too sweet, which was nice. Either it wasn't too sweet or my tastebuds was still overflowed with the saltiness from the chicken. 4/5. Though the food was just mediocre, the night was a lot of fun. The servers were attentive and the food came pretty quick after ordering, even for those who showed up late to the party. With respect to the crowd, it was a good crowd who really came to enjoy the music and line-dancing whenever they had them. Many parties who were there early seemed like they were there for a special occasion (ie. bdays, bachelorette, etc). Majority of the guests were females, however more males showed up a little later (probably for the prior reason, haha!). By the time we left around 1am, there was a line-up to get in so I guess the place is a happening place for many. Personally, I'm more into the R&B/Hip Hop/Reggae/Soca type scene, but the night was alright! read more

Fun place to dance, especially if you need to learn the steps first. ;) The instructor was very good, just wish he was on an elevated stage/platform so you could see his feet better. Small dance floor, but makes for a cozy atmosphere (as long as your fellow dancers can move). Fun bar food...had the nachos (vegan-style) and sweet potato fries. Yum! After the dance lessons are over, this place turns into a club full of dancing girls and guys, definitely more energy. Great tunes! read more

I was here for a birthday. There was a large group of us and we did the Party Package. For $35 you get a drink, an app, a main, and either a dessert or a shot. Plus line dances. Plus you're there before cover and you get complimentary coat check. Now, this sounds like a great deal. And it is. But the food? That's not worthwhile. If you're starving, you won't care. But if you're going to enjoy your meal... you've been warned that it's mediocre at best! The nice part is, when you're there for dinner, there's hardly any others, and you can try staying atop the mechanical bull as many times as you want. The other part of the package is complimentary line dancing tutorials. Line dancing sounds cool in theory. For a one night deal. But a bar/club that only does country... well, they are loyal to their brand! Country is not a style you can dance to easily. It was fun, for the night. The mechanical bull was great. The service was friendly. But this is not the type of place you return to unless you REALLY love country. read more

I had an awesome time at that bar! I don't normally write about dance bars or clubs cause who reads em anyway. If you're friends wanna go, you'll probably go. But I figured it was worth sharing my two cents because I actually had an awesome time here last Saturday. Music was on point! Drinks weren't too badly priced either considering. Just note its a bit of a younger crowd but still fun none the less! read more

So excited that being a fan of country is now an accepted, nay, celebrated thing in the city. Came here the Friday after opening weekend with a likeminded country-fan pal for dinner, then to line dance into the wee hours. Arrived around 7:45-8pm. At this time, coat check is free and we had no problem getting a table for dinner. However I think the staff are still learning - the bar was packed and well-staffed, however there was no one to seat us at a booth, and after 15 minutes of waiting with clearly no one noticing we were there (even though the booth next to us was being served), we had to go to the bar to ask for a server. However, once she arrived she apologied profusely and gave us great service the rest of the night, so full stars and an ample tip returned on that one. The food was decent and they make a mean margarita (traditional and fruity flavours available, blended or shaken). At $14.75 a pop, the margs are big and have a good booze/lime/ice balance. I opted for the Bulldog (a marg with an upside-down Corona) because it was the same price as a regular marg. Always go big when you got the option, right? At about 10pm, the server will come to wrap up your tab whether you're ready or not. Apparently they like to settle up before it gets busy, which is totally understandable. What'smore, at this point you shouldn't still be sitting. It's time to line dance and get on that Toro. The 'official' line dancing lessons took place in the early hours around 9pm when the dancefloor was empty, however there are unofficial lessons with the cute sheriff/security guy in the boots and hat, who gets on the dancefloor and line dances to 3 or 4 songs every hour or so. Keep your eye out for him and try to get as close as possible to learn the steps before everyone on the dancefloor catches on and joins in. Too many boots and your view will be blocked. That, and you will be crashing into a lot of innocent bystanders not in on the fun. The bull is FREE the whole month of December. Not sure what they will charge in the new year, but consider you will only last 20-30 seconds, price that out accordingly. The line gets longer the later you wait in the night, and at all times there will be a crowd watching you, so don't think you can find that sweet spot when it's just you and the bull. There seem to be 2 settings - the girl version (slower, but more full stops, which I personally think is more difficult) and the guy version, which is faster and more fluid. It was a complete blast and everyone cheers you on, friends and stranger alike. Being 5'4", I did need a boost from the operator, which was probably the most embarassing part of the whole experience. Lastly, I will say the crowd is very young. A lot of college kids, girls puking in the bathroom at 12am, slooty dancing everywhere. It gets very unapologetically pushy, a lot of overly drunk people who spat curses at us when we said "you don't have to push" like the uppity adults we've become. It would have been a different scene if it were an older crowd, I would have liked to see this bar on Ossington. That said, if you squint your eyes and have another bourbon, you just about start to feel like you're in a real country joint, south of the Mason-Dixon. read more

The staff is RUDE. I've come here before and ultimately had a great experience. The $15 cover charge was always a bit of a bummer and the food isn't fantastic. But we had fun there because of the atmosphere and the different experience, so we gave it a pass before. I'm not sure if there's been a change in management, because I dealt with someone else previously (booking for a large party) -- but whatever has changed, it's not for the better. Long story short, the bouncer was a jerk (i know -- surprise, surprise in Toronto). I get it, your job can be difficult when dealing with drunk people. But our group was early for our guestlist and no one had been drinking... No one was being rude or pushy. His attitude was just unnecessary. We had guestlist for my birthday and we arrived 30 minutes before the guestlist cut off and they kept us outside lined up until we had passed the time we were supposed to arrive. We had confirmed the time with the bouncer and he assured us that we would still get no cover, but they had to keep us out because the bar was "full". HA. Nope, we waited outside, still had to pay cover (i told them that the bouncer said since we arrived early we wouldn't have to pay, they went and asked him and he said: NO I NEVER SAID THAT! A grown man just straight up lied to our faces), we chose to brush this off and went upstairs... and the bar WAS EMPTY. What a joke. Much of the bar staff was terribly rude. As mentioned before, we were a large group, we ordered a bunch of drinks (8 beers and 4 buckets) and that was met with an eyeroll and a "are you serious?"... Very confusing. I'm sorry, are you not a bartender, at a bar? Do you not want our money, our tips? Many of the girls there, didn't look like they wanted to be there. We found one guy behind the bar who was mildly more pleasant and stuck with him for the rest of the night. The night was saved by having good friends around me for my birthday. Other than that, the staff had terrible attitudes and it just left a really bad taste in our mouths. We decided to leave after two hours and went elsewhere to finish our night. Since then, I've had some friends share very similar experiences with me. Not many country bars in Toronto, but I won't be going back here. Oh well! read more

Well after my negative review I was contacted by Seamus, the manger, who offered me a complimentary dinner for me and 3 friends. Took him up on it. Menu is basic but it is a country themed bar. There are some interesting choices such as kale for those who like that kind of stuff. The staff were very nice. Music was good. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Pulled pork is on the peppery side opposed to sweet like in used to. Nachos were yummy. Popcorn chicken had a bit of a kick to it. All in all was a good meal. read more

Before I start I want to begin saying that the customer service in this place is terrible. Pure snobs.. like if you don't want to be here, find a new job. I'm guessing the only reason these employees work here is cause they don't have the intellect or personality to work anywhere else with better standards. anyways.. When you first arrive you notice the high long stairs you must walk up to get to a place filled with loud country music (not a fan). because I was with a group of people it was not all bad. Food was mediocre. I wouldn't come again to pay out of my own pocket. The food did not have enough seasoning on anything. The alcohol - it feels like when I went to a different bartender for a mixed drink, one would pour more alcohol than the other. There were line dancing and bull riding. The bull riding was cool but I think I was too wasted at the time and only lasted 4 seconds lol. Would I come here again? - If it was paid for and I had to show up then yes. read more

Save a horse, ride a cowboy! I came here on a Friday night with some girls and we had a great time! Who would have thought Toronto has so many fans of country music! There were a lot of things I liked about this saloon. 1) You can buy margaritas by the bucket 2) You can bust out your cowboy hat 3) Plaid shirts aren't only for hipster venues 4) You can join the crowd and line dance 5) The mechanical bull is entertainment - all night long! I will definitely be back! :) read more

Brought a bunch of friends here -- all our first visit. Great atmosphere and the staff are generally friendly. You need to get here before 9:30 if you expect to get in... so it definitely is not the type of place for young crowds who expect to "pre-drink" prior to their arrival. The music is almost entirely Country, as should be expected, which really adds to the whole experience. It is certainly different from anything in the entertainment district, which is nice if you're looking for a break from the grimy clubs that litter this area. My friends and I decided to arrive a bit early for dinner... and had nachos, a couple of salads, brisket, burgers and guacamole. The food is totally sub-par and the reason for my low rating of the venue overall. None of my friends enjoyed the food, and we're not a picky bunch. I definitely would not eat here again. The drinks are excellent though - I definitely recommend the Bulldog! Go for the drinks, the unique atmosphere and the free mechanical bull rides - stay away from the food. read more

This place is super snazzy. It's upstairs and coat Check is available for a fee I think. The food is mostly finger food that are shareable or the option of $35 for the packaged deal. Bull riding and pool is FREE! As long as you sign a waiver form. The staff are mad friendly and they dress up in the cow boy/girl gear. So wear plaid and boots to blend in. Oh, they also teach you how to line dance so that when your plastered, you know the moves already and can join or at least attempt to anyways. All around a positive experience. read more

I came here a few weeks ago for a friend's birthday and we had a great time. There was a group of about 10 of us, and we had tried to get in a few weeks earlier around 10:15 at night and the line was ridiculous! As we were keen to go to Rock n Horses, we decided to make a reservation for dinner for my friend's celebration. The reservation was for 6:30, and we were told that we would need to finish our meals by 9 because they would need to move our table off of the dance floor since we were a big group. Rock n Horses certainly isn't busy early on in the night, but there are some definite advantages to arriving early: 1) Free coat check (I believe before 9) 2) No cover 3) Guaranteed entry - no need to wait in slow moving lines! 4) $15 bottles of wine on Fridays between 5 and 7 (warning: this is not good quality wine!) The food is pretty good and presented well for a bar. However we were a bit disappointed to hear that they were already out of corn on the cob when we placed our orders at 7. I had the garlic prawns ($12 - white wine, chilli garlic butter, grilled bread) without the butter. I also made a last minute adjustment to my meal and asked to have a side salad instead of the grilled bread. The waitress was great and rushed to see if they could accommodate my request. Although this dish is listed as a starter, it could easily be a main as it comes with plenty of shrimp! The shrimp arrive in a small cast iron skillet on top of a wooden board and the salad came in a bowl to the side. The shrimp were well cooked and very flavourful, and the salad really exceeded my expectations! There were fresh mixed greens along with large pieces of fresh carrots, blanched green beans, cucumbers, and other quality vegetable toppings. Our server was great and easily managed our group and our complicated orders. The establishment also allowed us to bring in our own cupcakes for our friend's birthday; however, given the theme of the venue I was expecting a bit more in terms of 'presentation' when we asked for the cupcakes - a song or something would have been nice! One hiccough with the service was that we did not receive separate bills. Our server was able to ring us through on separate credit cards though. The rest of the evening was pretty fun with a number of group members getting up for a ride on the mechanical bull! The music was your typical country tunes, with staff members providing line dancing 'lessons' early on in the evening. I didn't find that the venue ever got particularly busy or crowded, so there was never a long wait to be served at the bar. But with only three stalls in the ladies washroom, there was quite a line to get in. Definitely a fun night in the end, but I'm not sure if this is a place I would go to regularly. read more

We came here when they were hosting the Brad Paisley pre-party back in August so it was busier than expected on Thursday at 6 PM, but still not that busy as we were able to get seats at the bar. The bartenders are attentive enough (with some being more so than others) and the drinks are made pretty fast. The prices are quite standard with the margarita pails being a lot more, but they were delicious and came in colourful pails so I'll make an exception. However, our order of fried pickles took super long, like an upwards wait of 20 minutes. I had to ask the bartender about it before she checked up on it and brought it over. Bonus: they also had extra VIP tickets with party bus transportation to and from the bar and offered them to us as we were still there when everyone vacated but a whole night of country music just wasn't my thing, so we declined. Don't ask why we went to that bar lol. If you asked me what free thing I would decline, I would usually say none but that would be it! Overall, decent bar with average prices and nice staff. I would return if I was a fan of country music, but that I am not (I was there because I had to be!). read more

The table service was terrible - our waitress only served us one drink in the 4 hours we were there. Most of us elected to open a tab at the bar where they were much happier to serve us. Food is mediocre, you'd be better off going around the corner to burrito boys. Washrooms were disgusting - only 3 stalls for the ladies. By 11 pm one toilet was clogged and the other two were covered in vomit. Watched a couple of girls throw up in front of the waitress and then not get kicked out. So if that's your thing, this is the bar for you! read more

I don't really know what to say about this place..came for a rodeo theme bachelorette party. I really didn't know what to expect. There is a 15$ entry fee but if we didn't pay cause we were part of the party. Ya up three flights of stairs...really hard to do coming down when your wearing heels and have had a bit to drink. You can purchase cowboy hats as well for about 40$. They play country music so if it's not your thing you're not going to like it. They have a mechanical bull which was really funny to watch! Would I come back? No way, it's not my thing! read more

I haven't been during COVID but I would go all the time for a late night out with friends before the pandemic started! This is hands down my fave bar I've been to in Toronto! Such a fun atmosphere for country lovers and even not-so-big country fans like myself! Sometimes they have line dancing too! Great music, great mix of people, and overall a fun time for everyone! Good drinks too (haven't tried the food though or been here in the early evening) I recommend checking it out! read more

I honestly can't get over how awesome this place it! My throat is still burning today from all the screaming out the lyrics I did last night. I'm a big country music fan and I'd never thought I'd see something as awesome as Rock N Horse in Toronto. Spent Friday night there. Arrived at around 9pm. It's still quiet-ish at this time and you can order food. At around 10pm they clear out a lot of the tables and remove the saddle-bar stools to make more room. That place gets PACKED. Surprisingly there was a good mix of die-hard country music fans and people who were just there for the experience. The mechanical bull at the back is heaps of fun, and the DJ spins mostly new country hits with a splash of the old favourites. I haven't had so much fun since I was in my early 20s. Crowd was mixed ages, some 20 somethings, 30 somethings and just a dash of the 40+. In the course of the night I had a drunk guy buy me 7 bottles of Coors Light in the span of 30 mins (no, I didn't drink them all), a guy in a santa suit continually touching my bum with his prosthetic arm and met a gaggle of American men posing as Detroit Red Wings. Arrive early or get on the guest list if possible. Good coat check. Only slight moan is the bathrooms - the set up of the ladies room is such that it's hard to queue/line up to wait for a stall, and drunk women who need to pee can get really b!tchy! read more

This is absolutely my new favourite place in the city. Legit! I LOVE the atmosphere, to say the least. The mechanical bull, line dancing lessons, the music and the decor just make the place an absolute blast! It's so much fun! The only thing is that drinks and food are expensive there, but I heard that their wings are pretty amazing. I would love to come out for karaoke night. Definitely recommended for lovers of the cowboy/cowgirl experience ;) read more

I am only reviewing the food and i am giving it two stars. We ordered bucket of fried chicken to share. It came with a small piece of corn bread and coleslaw. It was horrible. The skin was burnt and chicken was dry. Definitely not worth the $32. Now i wish i got a burger for $14. ENTERTAINMENT.. 5 STARS! Atmosphere is great and service is great. read more

If you are looking for a fun night out, I would definitely recommend Rock N Horse. I went for my birthday and had a blast. Great atmosphere and music! The bull riding is also super fun! They have giant margaritas in sand pails for $10, which are delicious! On Saturdays there is free cover before 9:30, so I'd advise getting there early as it gets packed fast. read more

This is a great bar and is loads of fun, but the staff here need to lighten up a bit. I understand they need to keep things under control but my friend and I were clearly NOT wasted. The first time my friend couldn't find her sunglasses and was looking around on the floor to find them and was kicked out because they thought she was drunk, when she tried to explain her situation the security didn't care and made her leave...come to find out later one of them had her sunglasses the whole time. The second time my friend and I were waiting to ride the mechanical bull and once I had finished my turn I said to my friend I wanted to ride again and the operator turned to me and said "NO YOU'RE TOO DRUNK"...I can assure you I was only tipsy at the time I had even asked my friend if I appeared too drunk and she said no. I was really offended by this and it kind of put a negative feeling on my night out. read more

If you want to watch a sporting event I highly recommend this bar. The food is your classic pub food, its high in fat and full of carbs. I can't lie I do like that type of food but you have to treat yourself here once every couple of months. The service is good and if you do really want to ride that bull....this is where you have to go! read more

Actually the worst bar and management in Toronto. The bouncers let a group of black out girls, by pass the line, who were slurring their words and puking in the alley way. And when I commented, a bouncer told me to "shut the Fuck up. Quit my bitching, or leave.". Once inside, the line for a drink was ridiculous and the cup they gave me had lipstick all over it. When I asked for a new cup the bartender rolled her eyes, waved over a bouncer and told him I was cut off. GREAT PLACE. hope it gets shut down. read more

Drinks-great! Atmosphere-pretty live after 11pm Music-for a country fan: fantastic! Food-Better luck elsewhere I would say that if you want a casual place for drinks and to enjoy some classic country music, this is the place for you. The mechanical bull was also quite free if you go earlier in the evening and tons of fun! The line dancing added more fun to the evening and I definitely enjoyed my visit late into the night. I appreciated the large crowd who all shared in the joy of country! Will definitely return. Tip:eat before or after at places nearby as the food isn't very great. read more

Based on recommendations, my friend had her birthday here on the weekend and we had a party of about 16 people. Reservations were taken ahead of time and we had free coat check at 7pm. However, this place was not the greatest based on their food. Our server was polite and divded our bills nicely by making sure our orders were placed under our names (though there was a mix up at the end of the night still...). Our group enjoyed the line dancing and mechanical bull. This was probably the biggest draw for us, and it was a lot of fun. However, since we came here for dinner as part of the birthday celebration, the food was a huge disappointment. A few ordered the nachos, steak, fries, and chicken wings, fried chicken and a fried portebello sandwich. The fries, sandwich and fried chicken turned out to be a huge bust because it was extremely salty. After a bite into our meals, we had told the server about going easy on the salt. Unfortunately, she had told us that there was nothing she could do about the food and salt content. For the 5 of us with the salty dinner, we left disappointed. Overall - good themed bar with line dancing and mechanical bull. Great song list. But food was a major disappointment and would not come here again for that. read more

Ended up here when everyone in our group wasn't able to get into The Porch. This wouldn't have been my first choice as I am not a huge fan of country music. That said, there was lots of room for our big group and the drinks were flowing. The best part was the bull riding which was a source of entertainment for our whole group. We found a table close by and watched the action. The males who attempted to ride the bull were tossed off quite quickly and seemed to be in some pain when exiting.... The ladies, especially those more scantily dressed, were kept on the bull a bit longer with a setting labelled "sexy".... I kid you not. The operator of said bull was a cowboy boot wearing, tobacco chewing cowboy, who seemed to enjoy his job thoroughly. Although slightly intimidated I managed to give it a try, and it was a blast. I would come again with a group of people, as it was fun to hang out and get a few laughs at one another expense :) read more

Rock 'N' Horse Saloon - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Not a place for edible food. Unless you are intoxicated enough to overlook the raw or expertly, extremely well-done chicken - a story for another time so, I can keep this review quick. Pricey food. The drinks seemed ok... Fortunately, I didn't stay long enough to experience anything else. read more

So I am not a fan of country music but I am a fan of Rock n' Horse. It has a very fun vibe that isn't hurt by the free bull rides. People are very serious about their line dancing so we generally vacate the floor when the line dancing begins. That said, it is relaxed and everyone there is out to have fun. Its a good place to mix it up. read more

Came for a bachelor party. Waited outside to get in even though we had a reservation. Waited a long time before a server showed up at our table. It was only 9 pm and not very crowded yet. Ordered drinks that took too long. Ordered food 90 minutes ago and still waiting at 11 pm. Service sucks. Don't come here unless you don't want drinks or food. read more
