Rockey's Piano Bar

Went for Wednesday comedy night after dinner, was actually a hilarious free show! Austin comedian circuit, pretty cool comedians. Make sure to tip! Great drinks too!

It was a great place for a night out with good music. Getting a table is a must! Go online and reserve a table so you are not standing all night. The drinks are fairly priced.

LOVED this place. The atmosphere, music, alcohol selection, food. Everything is so nice. Prices are reasonable. The fajitas tasted very good to be a bar. They offer chips and salsa also. Live music, including a band who play music at request. Perfect to come with friends. Right at the heart of downtown Round Rock.

Love the live music , always great vibes,& the tall beautiful bartender makes the best $8MEXICAN CANDY SHOT.WORTH BUYING!!!!

Interesting setup and venue. Piano player and drummer. I was invited by a great friend and was not expecting this setup but it was very interesting. A nice bar with a piano player and drummer willing to play any selections chosen by the customers. Great drinks and limited seating area. I would truly recommend this place with a nice group of friends or happy hour after the happy hour. Overall, I think you will have a good time here and if you willing to enjoy good music of your choice, I think you will enjoy this place. FYI, you have to find parking that around the corner or on the next block. Enjoy!

I had so much fun. A table reservation is a must, you just have to commit to one or two in your party to arrive at 8 pm (Friday night) to hold the reserved table. I think personally 8pm was a great time to arrive and start enjoying the live music, break for the recorded music, then have a blast with the actual piano show at 9pm! Both the live musician and piano+drums performers were fantastic. I loved celebrating my birthday here. Something they did here that made a huge difference is the A/C must have been set at 60 degrees. It was almost chilly when it was only half full and then when it was packed by 9-10pm, it didn't feel like it at all -- like most places get so warm with all the body heat! This bar did a wonderful job staying cool during all that. One thing I'm just hoping they had running was some air cleaning process. I'm pretty sure I got covid from a karaoke bar in Austin for the first time many weeks ago and I realized I was having a similar kind of night here, with a ton of people singing and dancing along to their favorite songs in a closed indoor space. I'm going to have to assume they did because the A/C was working so well! They let us bring in a pizza from the restaurant/food trucks nearby (not outside drinks of course!) But I would suggest next time we'll try harder to eat before coming. The pizza took 45 minutes to be ready after ordering online and by that time, I didn't want to eat a lot as I was having so much fun participating in the show! As far as song requests go, I'd have cash or your Venmo/paypal on your phone ready to go to scan the card our pianist passed out at the beginning. I wasn't sure how much to donate and saw a dollar bill with one and a 20 with another. I did 5 on venmo and he played it! I really liked the mix we ended up having of some 80s, 90s, 00s, and some Classics and Country. Never in my life did I think I would see so many people from all walks of life go nuts at a fantastically rapped Eminem's Lose Yourself!

Great music, by an exceptional pianist ! He switched between different genres got the audience dancing. It was an a amazing experience. Drinks were solid. Place was really clean.

Enjoyed a much needed evening out with a friend. The opening music from a single musician was very good. When the 2nd musicians took stage it was so amazing how they could play any music request on the Piano and drums. We laughed we sang, we clapped, moved our shoulders to the music in our chairs. It was entertaining, funny and a good time looking forward to our next night out at this place!!!

To the Manager or Owner, We have been residents of Round Rock for over 25 years and we have seen the evolution of the different businesses that have come and gone from your building. We were very disappointed at the younger Musician and how he made people feel bad about not paying $20 per song. Yes, he would partially joke and say it doesn't take $20, but YOUR song request would probably not be considered if not. This was not the issue about 6 months ago. We don't know what changed. This type of condescending speech by the Musician was a huge turn off and we will not return. Maybe the bar should start paying the musicians so they don't have to beg for money. It was ridiculous!

I've been here three times now. The first two times were so much fun. The last time was meh. It took awhile for the entertainment to really start. I recognize that this place is very crowd dependent. Overall a cool little hang out with a decent drink selection to include austin East cider

Fun piano bar if you're someone like me and doesn't like the club scene. The bartenders are great and the events they have are fun to bring friends to and enjoy.

I came here the other night with a friend for the umpteenth time. Why I have never written a review for this place until now, beats both you and me. The last time I came in was last weekend and the establishment wasn't packed which was nice (especially during a pandemic). We were able to come in and walk directly to the bar. The bartender although extremely busy made eye contact with my guest and I to indicate that she would be with us as soon as possible. We ordered several beverages (not at the same time) but like normal people: one at a time. The first round of beverages we ordered were shots of Tequila. The Tequila was served in plastic cups. I do understand we are in a pandemic and therefore can understand why this shot was served this way as opposed to in a shot glass. The next drank I ordered was a Gin and tonic. As everyone knows, this is a simple beverage to make, so this shouldn't be able to be ruined. While the drink wasn't a complete disaster, it did have a taste of lime. I know this may not be big deal for some, but I specifically asked for no lime or lemon. It tasted as if the bartender placed the lime on the drink and then remembered after the fact that I didn't ask for lime and then removed it from the rim of the beverage and served it to me. Aside from the drinks, the atmosphere last week didn't have the live pianists/artist like I am accustomed to. Instead, there was dance music playing which made for an evening of fun with my companion. A bar like this is highly subjective as depending upon what night a consumer visits, the establishment may have live music, recorded music or who knows.

Thank you so much for allowing us to have our Graduation Celebration for our son at Rockey's Piano Bar after our Venue canceled on us last minute. The customers service you provided was impeccable. You truly eased my worries and saved the day!! I will be forever greatful.

I've been to this establishment several times and never had an experience like this before I have acid reflux. I took my very first shot of the whole night still had other drinks on the table that I was going to drink, and some guy told me that I had to leave and said that I was drunk, which I was completely dead sober and so they kicked me out of the bar, so beware of throwing up if you have acid reflux I will never visit this establishment again.

Interesting setup and venue. Piano player and drummer. I was invited by a great friend and was not expecting this setup but it was very interesting. A nice bar with a piano player and drummer willing to play any selections chosen by the customers. Great drinks and limited seating area. I would truly recommend this place with a nice group of friends or happy hour after the happy hour. Overall, I think you will have a good time here and if you willing to enjoy good music of your choice, I think you will enjoy this place. FYI, you have to find parking that around the corner or on the next block. Enjoy!

I requested a song and said I could sing it ... it was Selena .. Spanish ... someone else requested a song in English and I became karaoke suddenly ... not cool... either you treat your customers equally or not... soooo mad ..!!

Played all the classics in a piano style format. Something different and out of the norm for me, but I'm sure happy I came here. Location is everything and the energy in this place is contagious. Def will be back.

Super great service! Danny was awesome on keys! Was a great crowd and drinks weren't too expensive! I loved it and would def go back :)

The past several times I've gone to this bar- every table is reserved before 8 o'clock. This facility is small as it is- a smattering of 18 small tables with no chairs or seating at the bar. Allowed by patrons to reserve all tables essentially turns the rest away. My husband and I typically spend 12$ a drink each and we will easily consume 5 drinks each when we can comfortably sit and enjoy the entertainment. Last night - to ensure we had a place to sit, we arrived at 745. All but one table was marked reserved. At 8 - this mousy woman bathed in musk asked us why we took their reserved table. I irritatingly told her it was the only table that wasn't marked. She and her masked friend were quick to call me a liar. My husband and I went to the bar to ask if every table was reserved. The bar tender said yes but after 830 we may be able to take one if no one shows. I told her that was a bad business model for such a small establishment- we were there now and willing to buy drinks. She shrugged- we closed our tab and went next doors. I feel this is poorly run. We will go to Darwin's before coming back here. At Darwin's we are guaranteed seating . I've also overheard nasty anti white comments from the broomhilda like bar wench that was for too obese to be wearing Daisy Dukes.

So much fun!! The drummer and pianist were hilarious and played well! It is pretty small inside so get in early and claim your table! Drinks were weak when we first got there, as the night went on they got stronger. The atmosphere is loads of fun and they keep the restrooms really clean which is rare in a bar. They have a small dance floor open to anyone and the vibe of the place makes you feel like a group of friends hanging out and having a blast. Definitely make it a stop on our bar tour of downtown round rock. After 9pm is best!

great atmosphere and energy, outstanding musicians, and the best bartenders around (Brian and Sarah)

I had a really terrible experience here for a few reasons: 1. They put another person in my party's drinks on my tab without asking me about it and without asking the person that ordered the drinks to start a tab. It was a busy night and I understand that mistakes can be made in a busy atmosphere, so I was very gracious as they rang up the transaction several times trying to fix the tab. I confirmed with them at the bar that night that only one transaction would be charged and they assured me yes. However, the next day I saw the 3-4 pending charges on my card, so I called back to confirm that only one would be charged and they assured me yes again. A few days later, there are 2 transactions that were officially charged to my credit card and another one still pending (none of them the correct amount), and now I'm having to dispute the charges with my credit card company. 2. The drinks were shockingly watered down and consequently way overpriced. For your reference, I am a 120 pound, tiny girl that has very low tolerance for alcohol. I had 3 shots and 3 cocktails in the span of about 2.5 hours, and left the bar very confused because I felt more sober than when I arrived. When I left the bar, I took a breathalyzer test which showed only 0.02. According to several different BAC trackers, a woman my size should have a BAC of ~0.2 after 6 drinks, ten times more impaired than I actually was. My friend with me felt the exact same way and had a breathalyzer which showed a BAC of 0.03. To claim to serve alcohol and charge the price of alcohol, while only serving people juice is frankly unacceptable.

Great music, but.... the bartenders are extremely rude, commented multiple times they 'hate white people', drinks look like a 5 year old made them and taste awful, if you don't tip enough they'll print a new recipe and write in tip amount themselves, AND if you have a hot gf the owner will likely hit on her in front if you. Btw, she said not in a million years bro!

Found this little gem of a spot while visiting a friend. We stumbled into here and couldn't have had a better evening without having to leave Round Rock! Truth be told it got packed quickly however word on the street is that you can call ahead and get a table reserved. However we lucked up and was able to sit with some folks who extended a seat. The music was that of a standard piano bar - you make a request, pay a couple dollars to have your request moved to the top of the list and sit back as everyone sings along and enjoys the song being sung. Pick a song that everyone can get into - baby's got back, hey ya!, you say he's just a friend, rock & roll classics . . . If you loved it then, you'll love it now!

Super fun place to get silly over a few beers and singing songs with strangers! We just walked in and claimed a corner spot on a Thursday night...place was packed by 9 ish.

The was such a fun place! We went on a Friday night and the place was packed being so small it gets pretty crowded. They take song requests and oh my goodness are they great at entertaining!!! I got the privilege of hearing Michael on the drums sing his version of Fergalicious which was so hilarious! The drinks are decent prices and the entertainment is so much fun! People were dancing and singing along! I will definitely be going back there again!

This was a fun little find on the main drag in dwntwn RR. The piano playing began after 9pm and they have surprisingly affordable "you-calls" here, though the cocktail menu was good, mine was not nearly as strong as it should have been for the price. The whiskey "you-call" was great and half the price. We hugged the bar the entire time we were here as the tables were RSVP'd and the place packs 'em in, so we figured it was better to be closer to the "source" than have to navigate the crowd each time we wanted to "whet our whistles". The song selection was a bit all over the place, but that was half of the fun. I'm not sure if this place is packed like that every night, but I think if we come back it will be to experience it from one of the little bistro tables.

You come to be free... free. You come here to let go. What YOU weighing you down ... leave it at the door because the pianist is here to uplift your spirits. It's a small town vibe with a powerful pianist. Ask him to play your favorite , & sing along. Sing loud ...sing strong ...and let loose. We are here to NOT JUDGE BUT TO SUPPORT AND LAUGH. SHOUT WITH JOY , or release your sadness. The more you tip the louder and longer your song it played The Main Street cooler is bomb. Also The pianist is A HOTTIE

Had a blast at this piano bar! This Round Rock downtown area is so cute and this bar was a lot of fun! You can request any song with a cash or Venmo tip. The singer/pianist and drummer were so fun too! Waiters also come around so you don't have to wait in line at the bar if you have a table. I will definitely be back!

I visited this little piano bar while on a date and also on a night where there was no piano playing. There was, however, a great little country duo on guitar called Treble Soul. The place was next to empty with only three other patrons and an equal number of staff, but from what I hear, this place gets packed on the weekends. We enjoyed the live music and warm hospitality on a cold, rainy night and I'd definitely go back to experience the piano bar side of things.

This place is A-OK, luckily I saw that you can message them on FB to reserve a table which I did for 4 of us. Think I got the last one since it was close to the door but we didn't care, the people standing up along the wall looked angry...and we were happily seated with waitress service. Once we left there was almost a brawl to get our table. We had to show up at 8pm, no hostess which was a little weird but my name was on the table. They do karaoke from 8-pm and then the piano guy comes in at 9:30pm. I am not sure why they don't have more stools to sit around the bar but it got pretty packed towards the end of the night. I am glad we had waitresses taking our drink orders because I heard it was a free for all at the bar and really disorganized. There were only two waitresses so they are definitely short staffed and they worked their bunz off. I liked the karaoke guy, he was pretty engaging and sang a few songs if there was dead space. The piano guy was pretty good, he was definitely only playing typical piano bar song requests and if you gave him $20 then he moved your request to the top - I don't get spending that much money on a cheesy song but hey it was a pretty fun night all in all but definitely reserve a table if you go there.

I've been here a couple times now with different groups of friends and it's always a good time. There were different lead singers each time, but they've all been good and entertaining. If you want to reserve a table, do so in advance and make sure to arrive before the cutoff time to claim your table. If you want the guys to sing a song to your birthday girl or bachelorette, make sure to tip them well if you want to skip ahead in the lineup. If you only tip a couple bucks, you'll have to wait. The bartenders work fast and were friendly enough.

Very nice place. Very accommodating. Good vibe and great piano player! Fun bartender too.

Enjoyed a great night here with some friends. We just tipped via Venmo for song request.

What a cool venue! Love the piano man and drummer boy that performed Saturday night. Who knew there was such a fun place to go to in Round Rock Texas? Definitely repeat!

We were there last night on a packed Saturday night. Warmup band was a super talented country singer, Tyler something, that dude could play and sing. Impressed. The piano and drummer guys were lots of fun. Great crowd interaction, talented, funny. I didn't expect us to spend 4 hrs here but we did. My only gripe is that it's difficult to have any kind of conversation there due to music volume. The piano guys went straight (no breaks) for 3+ hours. So maybe not ideal for a first date or getting to know someone. Drinks were fine. No food whatsoever but they have no problem with you bringing your own, I'll do that next time.

Amazing venue! Great selection of drinks and an amazing vibe!

We had friends in town from New Jersey, thought about staying in and watching a movie. Our friends wanted to go have a few drinks at a cool bar in Round Rock. So, we thought Rocky's Piano Bar would be perfect! We get to the bar, the door man was awesome... He joked with us about "NJ u can't come in here!".... We all laughed and went to the bar. One of our friends out their jacket on the back of an empty chair. Thus guy with a cap on backwards, threw her jacket off of the chair. We were like dude!(?)... The bouncers walked up and a guy that claimed to be the owner! They did nothing about it... All seemed to be over and then the "owner" is laughing at the corner of the bar with the guy that threw the jacket on the floor!! WTF Then the guy that threw the jacket in the floor threw a wet napkin at a friend from NJ face! The bouncers still did nothing and offered to buy shots for everyone!!!! Really... This place should be shut down... The bouncer that claimed to be THE Owner is terrible for Rocky's Piano Bar!!!!! Chubby Mexican guy.... Definitely NOT an owner of Anything!! DON'T GO TO THIS BAR EVER....

The best music, food, and drinks. The place is huge, perfect for socially distant outings. I love that the drummer and the pianist take songs requests from the audience - and they are hilarious btw. The staff in general is so attentive and welcoming. This place is such a much needed retreat from all the chaos going on around us lately. And the cherry on the top: bottles are fairly inexpensive, perfect for celebrations. Can't wait to come back again!

I always plan to go for "a few"- and end up staying all night. Great music, people and vibes. Also very friendly staff! Always recommending this spot to my ppl.

Cool spot. LOVED the hilarious and incredible pianist; he was amazing. Minus a star for the super limited seating. Only like 12 tables, leaving more than 20 people standing against the wall and down the hallway leading up to the bathroom. Minus another star because we spent money to request a song and after over an hour and a half they still hadn't played it.

My SUKKY experience Sat 1-7-22: My wife requested and received a CONFIRMED (by email) table reservation for 6 the prior week with instructions (clearly stated on website) to arrive by 8pm or lose the table. We arrived at 7:55, no reservation for us at any table. Neither bar tender had any clue even after my wife showed them the confirmation on her phone. At 8:05, a reserved table for 6 was still open, so we sat & ordered a round of drinks. The head bar tender told us that this table would be saved for the other group until 8:45, not following the website stated rules with the 8:00pm deadline. Since no effort was made by them to find us a table, and with nowhere to sit, we left after retrieving my credit card and cancelling the drink order. The waitress specifically told me that we would not be charged for the drink order. I later noticed that the drinks were charged to my credit card anyway, so I have submitted a dispute to my financial institution. We intended to celebrate 2 birthdays and a retirement that night, but Rockeys Piano Bar turned out to be a mess, with no remorse whatsoever. Needless to say, we will never return. We went next door and had a good time.

Had a great time. The atmosphere was so much better than Pete's and the setup allowed for a better interaction among the crowd. The drinks were not cheap (or they'd have gotten 5 stars), but the performer knew how to engage the crowd and make the already great environment that much better. Added bonus-its in Round Rock so I didn't have to deal with the 6th Street crowd to go to a Piano bar and double bonus was NO COVER!!!

I usually love piano bars but this spot gets a 1/5 because of the actual performers. As they get drunk the performers actually get mean and political. That's not something I want to deal with on a Friday night. Also they don't keep up with current trends. Most of the songs were really old.

I came to check this joint out on a blustry RR night and ran into a table of friends, who luckily provided a place to sit. The high notes: The musicians were funny and talented, the list to get your songs in was reasonably short ( bring cash to push yours through), the wait staff did their best to visit us regularly. The frustrating: Supppppper crowded. I suggest coming really early to reserve a table or preparing to stand. It's a small, popular place, so its a good problem to have. Planning to hold my birthday here, so will report back on the experience! Great addition to RR downtown!

Thanks you to all the Yelpers who advised reserving a table in advance on Facebook. We did it and it was godsend when giant groups of people kept coming in and standing around the perimeter of the place and crowding the bar. Those poor waitresses deserve 9,000 raises for maneuvering that place! Piano guy has a so-so voice and shockingly forgot the words to "Baby Got Back" but the drummer is the comedy part of the duo and was so very much fun. Highly recommend the Ruby Rose cocktail and to get there early enough to find some parking.

First off, this place is AWESOME!! If you are looking for a large venue with 1,000 people jammed next to each other like on 6th street, GO TO 6th street!! If you are looking for a place to have some drinks, listen to some really fun music and still have that small town feel then this is the place! They took a reservation for 12 of us through Facebook and it was great!! I would 109 times over, give my money to local Round Rock, Williamson county business any day of the week. We had so much fun and only minutes from home rather than 30 minutes. Keep doing what you are doing guys, it is great!! You should open a place next door, like a diner that is open late as well. NO MORE HAVING TO GO INTO AUSTIN TO HAVE FUN!!!!

The people that work here are rude and the drinks are overpriced. Went in for a fun night sat down and waited for service and a waiter came and told us we couldn't sit there because he wanted some people at the bar to sit there. (No sign in the building that directed us to wait for seating) As we were getting up to ask if they had a waiting list, a waitress walked by and aggressively told us to move because we were in her way. The other waiter said we were really busy and ran away and never answered our question about a waiting list. We moved and left.

Tried out this piano bar in Round Rock. Not very friendly staff--seemed like everyone was very stressed out. The piano player the night we went played more Rock and 90's--not really the "sing along" we were expecting. The place was semi busy for a Saturday night in Round Rock, and it seemed like there were not enough chairs to accommodate the crowd. We ended up going to another place that had a live band outdoors.

Our experience started off badly because our reservation wasn't honored but it was QUICKLY fixed and I appreciate that!!!! 5 star people here and a great time!!!!

I love the concept of this bar and the entertainment it provides, but their drinks are overpriced (especially for the size of the glass they come in).

Checked out the scene for the 1st time Saturday! Had a wonderful time! I can't remember the name of the performers, but they were so freaking awesome. Engaged well with the crowd! Funny and VERY talented. They performed songs from EVERY genre and did a fantastic job. The bar crowd was amazing too, it was obvious that everyone was there to have a good time and we did! 5 stars and 3 hearts!

Mike and Dave levitt played here Saturday and completely ruined mine and my friends time at this bar. I will never spend any of my money here and the owners should rethink who they invite to perform at their bar and make sure they aren't so rude and treat their customers so disrespectfully as they did.

Karaoke Contest Is Rigged SOLID I never expect these contests to be completely impartial, but what I witnessed was laughably absurd. The KJ postponed the contest 1hr 45 minutes until her friend arrived. When one of her friends showed up she decided to finally start the contest . She gave her friend the best slot, which is the final slot, and ...surprise surprise...her friend won! Here's the kicker...her friend won singing a very simple easy song - Tennessee whiskey. Who wins a singing contest singing "Tennesee Whisky"? or "Lollipop Lollipop"? Or "Yellow Submarine"? I began recording the event because the bias bordered the surreal. ======================================= UPDATE: The next day after the karaoke contest was just looking in the local karaoke postings and I caught the karaoke DJ at Rockeye's promoting the same person she gave first prize to...they apparently have a joint gig somewhere the next night!! Message me if you want to see it. I saved it. The manager of this bar also appears to know about the contest being rigged and is totally cool with it as he went along with it all. So my ratings of this place go down because after all the manager is part of the problem. So....... the DJ started the contest an hour and 45 minutes late because she was frantically calling her friend who had not shown up yet. When her friend arrived she and the manager pretended like her friend was just another customer singing in the karaoke contest. The DJ then gave the prime contest position to her friend. Her friend was about 4th Place or third at the best singing a very simple song. I video taped it all anyone wants to see I can show it. They then took a long time to Simply add up scores so I suspect they first the numbers there in case someone asks. They then announced their friend won by the contest 1 point and other people were very close to winning so they should come back and drink again next week at the next contest. Several times I overheard them saying to people "you are only 1 point away", "it was so close", " you were close your to come back next week.". By giving the first prize to their friend they never have really give out any cash prize at all and it is free publicity for their friends performances! So it's win-win for all the scammers. For normal people I don't think they care about the prize. But they don't want the contest to be grossly biased or total setup. I just feel I was scammed.

Piano and artists are always great and funny. Nice and friendly staff, all around a fun place to let loose and enjoy yourself

Rude and confrontational Staff. They were unable to keep opinions to themselves and made customers feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome in the bar. This place has gone down hill in the last year. Very disappointed.

We wandered into Rockey's on a Friday after a fantastic meal around the corner. We got there at 7:30pm and there was not a single customer in the place. The staff was unwelcoming, bordering on hostile. Most of the tables were reserved, and we were told that the music didn't start until 9:00pm. There were only 2 stools at the entire bar, so we asked if we could sit there. They said that it was going to get very crowded at that spot, so 'No'. Okay... Could we move the stools to the far side closer to the piano? We were begrudgingly allowed to do so. With no help from staff. Who appeared to be doing not much. ( I have a background in corporate training in the hospitality business). As we were sitting & chatting to each other in the corner, another customer came in & was given a stool in the exact spot we were told we couldn't sit. And staff was friendly with him! We even asked the Bar manager why we were given such bad treatment/service & he had no answer, just a weak apology. I was surprised that they didn't comp a drink or two when they admitted the bad service. It got very busy. The music was ok. We left after about an hour. Will probably not go back. This would be an incredible place with a little more training & shift in attitude. Sitting at the bar, we saw quite a few drinks having to be re-made because of waitstaff error. The potential is there, but it was a really bad experience for us.
