Great support from staff getting to table and great venue for live music watching! Spazmatics never disappoint!

Good vibes, felt safe, got to 100% enjoy the moment since I felt secure enough to do so. They provided free, unlimited ice cold water which is a HUGE plus for me. They are aware that it can get hot in there with all those lights and body heat so the cold water was highly appreciated. Even after a packed, busy night, all staff were friendly and kind.

The location was an excellent venue for a live band show. Staff were welcoming and provided water throughout the night. They don’t serve food so went to nearby restaurant to grab something to eat. Prior to grabbing dinner, i reserved and paid for the table of my choosing that was available. If you have no table would end up standing the whole time which is not good for my knees. The staff assured me that she will reserve for me and my party. Coming back the reserved table was given to other people. We were left to a table on the side corner below a speaker. The band was awesome but the speakers were loud with poor audio quality. It would have been bearable if we were seated at the table that was originally reserved for us.

Saint Rocke..the venue is fabulous for bands and launching new talent. The staff and sound crew were kind and very welcoming. Couldn’t ask for more. Attended the Karaoke contest to observe the talent. The only unprofessional part of the evening was the panel of judges. This panel for the month of May seemed to be a little to drunk and couldn’t keep it’ together til the end..to respect the talent who came quite away to contribute to the nights event. The judges jumped up on stage as soon as the contestants finished and instead stepping off to review the finalists list and select the winners. They decided to preform their rendition of Jack Blacks band Tenacious D’. Swearing and screaming into the mic. The other judge took the mic and went around the room tables entertaining himself with the patrons. In all several attendees left. One foot note..the MC was gracious and very professional the highlight of the evening besides the contestants. I do hope that this panel of judges isn’t what’s to come to represent Saint Rocky’s coming events…

First time at Saint Rocke and got to see my favorite band Big Country. Easily one of my favorite concerts. Venue is very intimate and I was front row and center. Great night and I will definitely be back.

I'm glad to be back at this wonderful venue. I have watched countless amazing bands perform over the years, and tonight was no exception. Direct from Australia Nattali Rize. She was awesome, and her band was solid throughout. Positive conscious music to uplift the spirit and soul. It was a special night.

Doors opened promptly at 6 as advertised. Staff was extemely helpful. A member of our party has ADA needs. They provided us with an extremely good seat. I especially like the Project Barley beers. And the band tore the place up. Also, a shockingly good Shakedown Street. Lots of free parking!! Worth the drive from The Valley.

I hadn't seen live music in awhile and I looked up the bands that were performing on youtube first(don't like surprises when it comes to the very hit or miss genres of music and comedy). They were Avatari and Zach King with a warmup by Martinez. They were all really good to listen to and my favorite was Avatari. He has great showmanship, singing skills and audience interaction even walking around the audience doing fistbumps and belting out some great sounds. The cover was only $13 and I had one delicious Guinness beer. I also had a nice booth in the rear, not far from stage. The staff was friendly and professional which isn't the norm at music clubs...didn't detect any gratuitous attitude. My verdict is St. Rock is a must visit for live music fans in the southbay. I checked their schedule and if I had more time, I'd be rockin' there regularly. Highly recommended.

Do NOT book your band here. Extremely unprofessional. They will tell you one thing, sign a contract, and then completely go back on their word. They made every excuse to avoid paying what was agreed upon. This was a complete waste of time and energy. Bands and artists -- protect your time, talent, and peace. Avoid this place at all costs.

Re-opened and better than ever. Entrance is on the street side of PCH rather than the corner. New, well trained staff and security. Over the years, I've seen a number of great bands here. Definitely a fun place to go with friends or a date night. No food served at least as far as I know. Recommend rideshare or carpool as parking is tight.

WOW! This place is a HIDDEN GEM. Such a cool layout and vibe and the staff are all so chill and inviting. Came here for see a concert and it was the most intimate vibe ever. Will be looking out for more concerts here. Parking is a bit of a drag because there is a tiny tiny lot behind, but parking in neighborhood so you do have to walk so depending on what time you get there, keep this in mind. Otherwise, what a very special place that I will be coming to again.

Came here for the first time to watch Anuhea and the only bathroom available was clogged so they had to close it down. We had to literally walk across the street to CVS or the bar next door (if they even let you in) if you had to use the bathroom. Added the extra star because we made it in on time for the happy hour drinks and because Anuhea played a little bit instead of fully canceling the show, even though she had to rush through it and played only the popular songs. It was a weird experience for sure

I love LOVE Saint Rocke SOOO much. The drinks are great and priced well. They even have free water stations to keep yourself hydrated while drinking the harder stuff. The atmosphere is always fun. Great bands/music. Never any issues with service or fellow patrons (knock on wood). The ONLY negative is the limited parking at the actual venue itself, it's so small and attached with a fee. There is parking on the streets but if you don't get there early to scope one out you're going to have to walk a bit to get to the venue. But in my opinion it's worth it.

This was my first visit to Hermosa Beach, Saint Rocke certainly made me feel welcome. Saint Rocke - you guys certainly Rocke-d First time in Hermosa Beach and I could not have had a better experience. Saint Rocke a little nugget, nestled in Hermosa Beach at 2nd street. I was here to film for "The Clowns" I arrived and parked my car on the rear parking lot at Saint Rocke, limited parking but seems if you know the area. All is good on parking. I entered the building annoyed, I mean introduced myself to Blake the sound fury for Saint Rocke as I wanted to clarify where to stand and if I can snag a feed from his sound desk. Blake said sure I got you and even gave me an XLR. I put mine away, less trouble later for packing up. I caught the sound check and was introduced by The Clowns to two of their new songs. Nice one. Saint Rocke has an earthly warming atmosphere and for the size of the venue it suits and you can see they take pride and care in allowing patrons to have a rocking experience. Sound was on point THANKS Blake To wrap this up, would recommend the location to all solely on no drama, inviting location. Staff at the bar and Blake on Sound the management should give a pat on the back.... Stated a wee bit for "Punk Rock Karaoke" as I've got work in the morning and about 45 minute drive. A wee bit of "scran" on my way home, Overall Thanks for having me and for a great night "oot"

We went there last night to see Tab Benoit and Anders Osborne. With all due respect to the evident regulars that patronize this place (many people seemed to know each other), it's an absolute freaking hole. The layout is funky (not in a good way). If you pop for a table, at extra expense, you buy a blocked view. The "tables room" is separated by support posts from the "stage room". In the tables room, people are allowed to stand between the stage and tables. This is another downside to popping for a table. Saint Rocke does not tell that to you. To be able to see the act, we had to sit on the top of the seat back of and the shelf just above our booth. Based on what we experienced yesterday, with a popular act, be prepared to be packed in to the hilt. It's standing room only in the stage room. Management allows the place to grossly overcrowd. One ought to have one's vaccinations current before going there. The sound sucks and people talked loudly during the performances (which is disrespectful to the artists and fellow attendees). Why go to a show not to listen to the performance? Inexplicably, though speakers are mounted in the "tables room", any sound from them was not perceptible. The men's' room flooded. For us, the parking situation (free/ample) was the only plus. Another poster called the place "intimate". If we attended the same show, we obviously have a different concept of the term. Perhaps that post was made early, before the show started and the situation deteriorated. We had never been there before. We won't be back no matter who plays there.

Beautiful place, awesome bartenders, great drinks!! I was there July 2nd for FEAR's show... the only downside of the night was the GM immediately moving everyone around the minute she got there in order to sell tables & make more space (it would have helped if she had gotten there before bands loaded in and their merch was set up, or if there had been better communication within the venue). She seemed more concerned about upselling the sold out event than taking care of the artists that allow the event to be sold out --their backstage wristband system was not exactly useful that day. The show itself was a blast, lineup was awesome, and future shows look amazing... I just hope that that was a one-off experience or, they tighten up their communication a little more to make for a smoother overall experience. Would definitely go back and give it another shot... their upcoming show lineups look like a lot of fun:)

Went for the Dogstar show this week. Not sure if security was extra insane because of the A list celebrity band member or if they're always this Dickish. My friend and I each paid $300 for the VIP package which is more than we've paid for other, more inclusive VIP packages for other bands. There was a brief sound check of about 2 songs and apparently weren't allowed to take any photo or video, understandably that is probably the bands choice not the venue. After there was a group photo the bartender in the venue was offering everyone drinks of champagne or hard seltzer so I gladly accepted. The weird part is when security immediately told us we had to leave the venue. I told him okay we will but I just got the drink she served us and we all heard her say SEVERAL LOUD times that we couldn't take any drinks outside. He started insisting that I finish my drink in front of him and leave. I was actually confused and said, she's still serving us drinks why would she be doing that if we had to leave this second ? And he straight up said, "don't worry about her, I'm telling you to leave." Excuse my whole ass sir, I paid $300 for the VIP experience and all I'm getting is this half cup of cheap champagne I'd like to savor it... Meanwhile there were several groups of people who were not even drinking and hovering who he didn't give a fuck about. It was the weirdest shit I've ever experienced. I feel it's important to note I was not trying to get close to the band or take photos or anything, just drinking my shitty champagne that I was grateful for to start. I've never been confrontational so I struggled to chug my drink then left. The second security guard I had the pleasure of encountering was very reminiscent of Doofy and Farva who wanted to let everyone know how willing he was to choke anybody out that he needed to. I swear he must have said it and acted it out at least 5 times. I tried to block most of him out but couldn't help hear him explain how transgender women were much higher quality in different countries in his opinion and experience (putting it as nicely as I can). He also exclaimed how smart it was to drug peoples drinks with viagra to see who would get an erection so he could avoid sleeping with a man (again, I'm putting it nicely). SUPER comforting quality to have in the security staff. I appreciated how small this venue was and really wanted to enjoy myself unfortunately the staff ruined this experience that I paid a lot of money for.

I met my Wife here back in July 2014 when the place was fun and the service was good. Seeing that they reopened the venue, it was much smaller inside from what I remembered. I booked a table for 2 in advance for $100 bar minimum. Ok that's fine. When we got there and found our table, we had to get our own drinks (no server). The mix drinks were very weak, a splash of Jack, all coke. I ordered a bourbon on the rocks and they charged me 4 bucks extra for the ice. Damn really? It wasn't a molded ice block in a fancy glass. , it was from a bag of ice. After the show, I went to pay my tab and saw that the lady added a "Large Party Tax" at 20% to our bill... we weren't a large party and I had to get up and get our own drinks. Talk about price gouging. I was planning to return for future shows but I will pass and take my business to other venues. I don't recommend this place.

Actually a horrible bar and entertainment center... let's be clear the bar is a 50/50 shot of over pouring or under pouring as if measurements didn't exist and the event staff is frantic and unorganized so enjoy that when you first walk in. But to clarify that would of still got a average rating from me what makes this a one star location is the new GM, let's talk about somebody who does not care about the customer and makes it clear her "career" is more important then our concerns.. I'm sorry but truly you wouldn't have a job without us so our concerns as customers is important. The ambiance is good if the lights are off, but generally it's a sticky corner bar type of situation so I'd say it could be better but it's fine how it is. To my knowledge their is no food. I could be wrong with that part. I won't be returning till Jen (the name she gave us) is fired, this is not a venue. It's a cash grab while she is in charge.

My husband and myself came to see a show a few days ago. We enjoyed ourselves but when I received my tab.... Lordy Lordy someone must have overheard me yelling out the name on the tab and started drinking on my dime?!?! Or I drank a hell of a lot of booze?!?!? Lesson learned, close out after every order! Other then that, I can't complain and the bartender was very attentive! I will be back even though I somehow drank hundreds or dollars worth of alcohol. Oh and yes.... It gets crowded but hey, what do you expect going to see a show that is standing room only!

So happy they re-opened! Here to see Led Zeppagain waiting for them to come on stage, they're so much fun! Been coming here since they opened and before when they used to be a dive bar called Pitcher house. Soooo many good memories! Good to be back!!!!!! Love everything about this place, the crowd is diverse young and old and so much fun!

I went Friday night to see the Spazmatics who seem to play here every so often. ALWAYS a fun show, if you like the 80's this is your ticket, so keep an eye out for their next show. As for Saint Rocke, it's dark and has personality, I really like the place. The drinks are fairly priced and they have some good beers on tap. Pro move, call ahead and reserve a table, it will give you a place to congregate and order food. The only prerequisite is that your bill needs to be $100 or more. On this particular Friday night we had Kimmie (spelling?) as our waitress. A cute smile and good service, who could want for more? Kudos to Anna who worked the front door, I also had a chance to chat her up about upcoming acts and her musical preferences, she likes Reggae BTW. I had a great night, thanks Saint Rocke.

Not sure what is happening at Saint Rocke. Prior to COVID and their closing probably went there monthly. Went back first time last Sunday and purchased a ticket for Annuhea for $40.00. About 35 minutes into the show the performer called last song and then walked off the stage. I thought pretty short show for hefty admission price and asked the bartender. He referred me to a women who said she was the GM. She told me that refunds would be issued due to the fact that the venue had a plumbing problem that caused the show to be cut short. She gave me her card and told me to email her to work out the refund. I have been emailing this weekend with no response.Bad business in my view. What do u think? Ready to post

I went to Saint Rocke to see Austin Plaine on 1/17/24. I was way too early so I grabbed a drink to settle in. That is where I first beheld Trevor the bartender. Tall glass of water that one. So much so, that I nearly chugged my stiff old fashioned so I could race back to the bar. "Another one, good sir!" I would've kept chugging them so I could keep coming back, but alas... I'm a lightweight and the first one was already doing a number on me. I still went back to the bar often, but it was more from desperation to balance my blood alcohol levels than for Trevor. I drank so much water that I had to use the restroom twice and then floor it home (averaging 100mph) after the show before my bladder exploded. But enough about that. This was a perfect lil quaint spot for live music and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening and all the artists: Ivy James, Austin Plaine, and Wheel Wright. But back to Trevor... disrespectfully, have your way with me. Thanks.

As glad as I am that this place re-opened, I have to be honest and admit it pretty much sucks now. The "magic" is gone and the "vibe" in the place reeks of a cash grab, where they just want you to deposit your money at the bar and enjoy a bit of music in a cramped, unpleasant atmosphere. Before, there was a really cool decor with iconic figures in rock adorning the walls. Now it's bare bones, and as an added bonus, there is no longer food available so you can drive home extra drunk on an empty stomach. Really a crappy place now aside from their occasional cool bookings of offbeat bands.

Last week attended Hollywood U2 show at SR. Fun show , the place was packed. Probably one of the most respectful buzzed crowds I ever seen. Saturday night in summer Hermosa Beach. Our first time back to re-opened venue. Like the new set up. What can sometimes make or break an evening is the venue staff. Hannah and our server , Kara were very helpful. Getting our table set up and checking in on us on a crowded evening. Little bummed that the kitchen is not open yet. The music and Hannah and Kara made it 2 out of 3. Looking forward to more shows. Rocke on , Rick and Kath

The band great and the sound is great. The local crowd can be a little rude and entitled . The place has been somewhat remodeled so there's more standing room and less tables in the way.

Sound (audio) guys will cost this place repeat business. Volume is way too loud. Absolutely unnecessary, and much louder than every other venue in SoCal. Without ear plugs, impossible to stay for a full set. With ear plugs, no fun. Not the good ol' St Rocke it used to be. Sad, but these new owners will not see repeat business from the locals who loved the place for 30 years, if they continue to disrespect their guests.

Come see your favorite artist in an intimate setting. You can't go wrong! This is such a fun place. I get to see all of my favorite artists. This place has great acoustics and amazing artists perform. With a full bar and lots of local places around to grab a bite before. You can also visit the Redondo pier. Stay at the portofino inn for an evening after a concert.

My friend and I went to see The Spazmatics in June and the place was so crowded! People were constantly bumping into us and not even apologizing! We couldn't take anymore, so we went to cash out and our bill had other peoples order on it! It took over 30 minutes to resolve it! As we were leaving out the door the police were there for a domestic issue! I felt like we were in Hollywood where no one had any morals! The place needs some direction on how to protect their customers! In and outside the club!

The 2016 Yelp 500 - Review #182: I have been to this venue twice. both times I encountered the same problems. and they were all based around the size of this venue not being conducive to the size of the crowd that it attracts. I'm not sure if this could even be remedied without gutting the entire building. The layout is completely ridiculous. As far as the menu goes, I took a quick look at it and opted to eat elsewhere. The one thing I did like was that the bar had TVs that showed the concert going on around the corner. As opposed to venues that have a bar that you can actually see the concert going on from the bar stool. I'm not quite sure why I would want to go to a club sit at the bar and watch the band on TV that I came to see you in person. I mean, if I was going to do that, then why don't I just watch YouTube clips. Alcohol injected belligerent people only leave to trouble or someone opting to leave before they should have. The pushing of getting a bit much for my party of sober folks so, we just left probably about a fifth of the way into the main act of the night... Which really sucked since that what we came to see. END GAME: 1. I can't imagine "knowingly" returning here again. It just isn't worth the aggravation. 2. I completely love the concept of this place and the memories that should be pouring out of here. Unfortunately, that's just not happening.

Saint Rocke sucks so bad. went to see spazmatics in June and August. this is the last time ever. the crowd is super aggressive. always pushing and looking for a fight in the crowd. always seems to be a fight there. the sounds check took longer than the actual show. spazmatics didnt start playing until 10:40 and ended at 11:45. the first band left the stage at 9:15. do the math. amateur hour every time. the bar staff and security is great but doesn't make up for the complete shit show the space puts on. save your money and more importantly your time. stay away from this place. it blows!!!!

Went to see Nikka Costa there last night and had a very unforunate experience. My girlfriend and I were close to the front of the stage and when I came back from the restroom, there was an encounter between my girlfriend and one of the concert attendees. I think she didn't like the fact that my girlfriend was taking so many photos and videos, which is understandable, but there is a way to politely ask someone to put the phone away. What I heard was this lady calling my girlfriend a "Slant-Eyed Bitch" and of course there was an escalation afterword. I went and told the staff what happened and what was said, and instead of dealing with the situation, my girlfriend and I were asked to leave the club. Needless to say, I'm very upset about this and about Saint Rocke enabling blatant racism and entitlement. I won't be going back there.

Went to go see downhill jam last night called ahead to let them know that one of the people in our party didn't have their id as it had been stolen out of his car the night before. We indicated that we can send them the info and they told us that we would be fine which was a lie. When we arrived the gm would has no people skills and is total asshole treated us like crap and didn't refund us for our tickets or offer any levitate way to de-escalate the situation instead essentially told us to fuck off she was so horrible just the worst humanity has to offer. I would recommend her termination as she is literally useless and has managed to single handlely make our experience at an establishment we have been going to for year aweful!

My girl friend and I came here to see Eli Mac on a Friday night. The venue is pretty small and they pack the place up like sardines. It got really hot in there fast. The sound was okay, but one of the horn players kept getting feedback from his mic. I can't speak on their drinks because it was so packed, we couldn't get to the bar. Also, there's only one bathroom in the whole place and the women's only had two stalls. Even the green room upstairs didn't have their own bathroom. And parking! Parking was absolutely atrocious. Their tiny lot was full when we got there, we circled around for 20 mins before finally parking in residential almost half a mile away.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Decent, fun place for live music. I've been to this place several times and have always had a good time. This seems to be the place if you're looking for tribute bands--there are always a bunch on the calendar to suit every flavor of nostalgia. I like it that it's small and you can get a really good view of the band, but the layout is a bit odd. The bartenders were nice and the drink prices weren't too bad. Good for a night out with friends.

Great sound. Cool vibe. But for two people our bar tab was $266.00. And my husband was roofied there about halfway through the night. We feel we were taken advantage of. Shame on them.

This place is beyond terrible, I've been to better dive bars that at least were clean, this place is disgusting, poor service or none at all, and as for band management that's laughable, we waited over an hour and a half past the time to see the band we went to see, I do not recommend this shithole and I will never go back

Extremely disappointed with my experience here. Last night was my first time at this bar to see popularly known 80s band "The English Beat". My girlfriend and I are both 21 yrs of age, and she had surprised me with tickets to this show/venue to see one of my favorite bands as a late birthday gift. To paint the scene, this venue attracts quite a crowd and not much elbow room to go around with only standing space to surround the stage. No assigned seats or areas. In our area of standing we were surrounded by much older people and quite possibly the youngest in the venue. A couple songs into the bands set we were beginning to be harassed by an older white woman who was much taller than my girlfriend and I. She began by yelling at us and poking my back for me move. Her reasoning was she was there first, accompanied by a crowd of people known to her. This venue is quite packed and not much room to go around or even dance. She escalated things by elbowing us aggressively to move and ended up hitting my girlfriend in the face. To this, nobody did anything to help us, they seemed rather annoyed by our presence there and expected us to move, even after her becoming aggressive, flaring her elbows violently into our backs and sides. We dont tolerate to be treated this way. We all paid for this show. My girlfriend and I were not aggressive at all but assertive the woman for her to "Be nice and calm down". "Lady, its a concert people are squished, its packed in here, Calm down". As things were heating up, many people turned to us only to bat an eye and not assistance. It was very discriminating to us we were most likely the youngest in the crowd and having not being from this general area we felt very singled out. My girlfriend began crying due to the feeling so violated with our space and catching an elbow to her face, being called a "B*tch" by and older drunken woman surrounded by her friends. It was unexpected to me people of her age (40s-50s) to be acting so childish in a drunken rage because her space was diminished due to our area of standing. Grow up. The elbow to my girlfriends face was the last straw, she is much shorter than me standing at 5'1". The lady knew what she was doing, she's not incompetent or unaware of her actions, but rather smelled of liquor and entitlement. We immediately left to reach out to security who accommodated our issue/complaints instantly by offering us to get the police involved. I don't condone violence ever, but I definitely do not believe its okay to put your hands on people ever especially since this woman was unprovoked and acted out on her own accord. The police arrived only to get both sides of the story, this lady had the audacity to say we made threats to her, even though she was the aggressor coming to us for her problems. We only asked to her to politely back off, be nice, and consider the crowd space being already so dense. We were there to enjoy our time together and to see this wonderful band, we have no interest in getting involved in any altercations, if anything we'd rather avoid it but she brought it to us by acting the way I explained above. The police were only able to offer a report to be made but upon having a in depth conversation with the officer he made offered a choice for us to return to the venue and have her escorted out. We did not want to spend the rest of the night in a station making a report that would probably become just an inconvenience to our time, all over an immature and ill-mannered woman. By this time the band was finished and the night was getting late. We took this as our opportunity to end the night and return home. I understand shows and concerts have their share of sardine packed venues and other ill-mannered people like we encountered. Instead of getting security involved this lady really wanted to hurt us and harass us, and ultimately ruined our night. I wish I had better things to say about my experience at this venue. But this accurately depicts our time spent here at this bar in Hermosa. I would expect the venue to be a little more "crowd-aware". People like this woman who ruined our night do not any repercussions and get to continue as they were. It was saddening to see how we were treated by the on-looking older crowd and the lack of empathy from them. We would like to thank a very nice lady Myko, a friend of the general manger at the bar. She was extremely attentive to my girlfriend who was emotionally distraught by the whole situation especially after being purposefully elbowed by a lady she did not know. She was very kind and comforting and offered emotional wisdom we won't forget. She saved our night by reminding us to stick together and not let this one experience taint the rest of our young lives. If she's reading this, she is a very special woman who felt like an angel on our shoulders, being there with us as the police allowed us to give us our statements, even ice-ing my girlfriends cheek. Bless her!

Was invited here 2 weeks ago to see the Smiths/Morrissey tribute band. I'm not a huge tribute band girl. But, I am a huge live music fan. I was not expecting there to be such a big turnout, or for the bands to be so good. We were lucky enough to have Berry Bly Productions reserve us a table. (That is always nice)! The waitress was extremely friendly and was quick with her service. One of my pet peeves is an empty glass when I am at a bar...Our waitress was on it! Our party had a blast. The crowd was cool...it was a good night! If you are in the South Bay area and like live music, I highly recommend Sainte Rocke. Get there early, it does get packed. I have not been on a Friday, but I hear that there are really good drink specials...I think my next visit will be on Friday!

Great Venue! very nice and a great location. That's about where the good ended for me. Bartenders suck, rude with the shortest pour in the industry. 2 Hours before the Opening band starts they take your bar stool! yup right out from under you! I guess to sell the reserved seating?? so you stand for over 2 hours waiting for your band you paid to see while waiting to get a weak, overpriced drink, we left, won't be back for future planned shows.

Great atmosphere for live music; decent food and cocktails. As with many other reviews you can find here and online, this place has a problem with overcharging your credit card, or adding additional items to the bill. We were charged $10 extra and had to dispute the transaction through our bank. Good thing I took a picture of my receipt... Won't be returning to a shady place that operates that way.

What a disappointing evening. Was looking forward to an evening with friends , drinks and food while watching dueling Pianos. First problem was that there was only one waitress working. Poor girl it was her first day and she was slammed without bar support or another waitress to cover the tables. Many found it impossible to get happy hour orders in even when asking for service 30 min ahead of 8pm cut off. The bar tender was ignoring people trying to order and actually told me he was busy and I'd have to come back later. My friend ordered a drink 45 minutes ago and he is still waiting for it to arrive. ON TOP OF ALL THAT this is supposed to be dueling pianos but there is only one performer!?! No attempt from Managment to stir up crowd, extend happy hour, get another person at the bar ....apologize?!? SOMETHING?! ANYTHING? The ONE piano player is trying the best he can to get things going but the crowd is not too happy. Oh ....the drink still hasn't come! Mr Rocke we are sitting at the table by the booth. Come buy us a round so we feel some love.
