My friends have frequented this place many times so I finally decided to give it a try. Dro was amazing and helped us out and LISTEN TO HIM WHEN HE SAYS TO GET THE PARTY WINGS PLATTER. The wings are amazing and crunchy. The drinks are also strong and decent. We were only going to drink here for a bit then go get hookah, but ended up staying since we were told if we spend $60 we get a free karaoke room. The karaoke room definitely needs upgrades, but it was nice to play our own music. We were attended to multiple times and service was fast. That being said, I was surprised to get the bill and see an extra $80 in charges for the karaoke room, and also a cleaning fee that was not disclosed. The manager came to explain that the free room was until 9pm, and after it is an extra charge. However, the signs that had that were in military time and confusing. Also, given that we arrived at 8:30, I wouldn’t expect to be offered a room for 30 minutes for free.. Overall this put a damper on the entire experience as we had to spend an extra 15 minutes trying to explain why we didn’t feel that was an honest charge. Especially since we had been attended to so many times. They should have someone come and tell you when your time is up in my opinion. In the end he removed the charge, but it was awkward and unpleasant having to explain that we felt completely bamboozled.

Pros: food, fast service, strong drinks
Cons: unclear pricing, faulty technology, cleanliness

The karaoke stuff didn't work for half of the time, paying 50/hr for a karaoke room you'd think the stuff would work. The staff was attentive but also drinking on the job. The place could definitely use a makeover and new equipment. Menu is all fried food .

This was the most fun I've had in long time. I love the privacy of doing karaoke with my party in a private room. Best experience ever. The service was great. I hope to return soon.

We visited the venue to celebrate a friend's birthday, and overall, the experience was exceptional. The service was outstanding, and the hospitality truly made the evening memorable. However, our experience was unfortunately marred when we were leaving. A man, approximately 45 years old, began repeatedly questioning us about where we were headed and persistently pressured us to accompany him to another location. Despite our clear and repeated refusals, he continued to verbally harass us and followed us to our car, making us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. This unwarranted behavior overshadowed what had been an enjoyable evening and has impacted my decision to return to the establishment in the future. The experience was deeply unsettling and has left a lasting negative impression.

I brought my family from Florida to visit. Is been a while since I visit Irock . When I got there the guy who was charging at the entrance was asking per 20$ per person and demanding for ID . If there was 3 security guard checking IDs . The guy has long hair smelled bad drinking outside and not dress properly. DJ no good for the money they asking DJ should be on point . Bartenders not dress properly they all drunk acting funny and not serving you the right liquor. They pour the cheap liquor. The one Chinese guy looks high and the black guy not clean . I sorry Kevin the owner but you place is a mess . The way you where operating last couple years was the best . Plus not coming back there never again .

(This review of the night life portion after 10pm)

So iv been coming this this place on and off every year for years now (crazy to think) with one of my best friends and let me tell you things have changed a lot over the years lmao

I remember me and my friend would have IRock on our rotation of night life spots (after 10pm) to go to in MoCo it was super super chill back then for the first id say 3 or 4 years

Anyways fast forward 2024

Wow IRock, my my look how you have evolved lmaoo xD

at first i would drive through just to check it out
whaaaa why are cop cars posted up back there consistently now

next time that entire back section shut down nothing open no cars on a staryday me and my friend where like wtf happened we where like nooooo!!!! irock why did that whole back section shut down genuinely disappointed

fast forward again my friend heard Irock had re opened sweet

drove there and...

wtf man.. Cover charge are you serious as long as we been swinging through there for sheesh its not even clear who the cover guy is usually they will stand behind the security not this guy sigh

wtf man... security guy one i have not seen before groping dudes booty wholes vigorously shit was gay

wtf man.. fights going down inside Irock sigh

anyways you get the picture

im righting this cas i actually really like Irock as said its been in my rotation for years now, not like i go there every day but you know what i mean

if there is anything i want management or staff to take away from this is that cover charge has got to go if your trying to use it as a filter i dont know if its working haha but most importantly of all is that

after 10PM Fri-Sat FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REMOVE THAT DAMN TABEL!!! at the end that is the "Dance Floor" of the bar, that table blocks the full potential of the bar ;)

I had a really bad experience my first time at this place. I was paying for everything and closing everything I was ordering. The bartender walked away from the bar with my physical credit card for 5 minutes so I had to ask cause this was something weird someone walked away with your physical card. So the other bartender apologized but this guy with my card came to me and said: “Probably where are you coming from, that's very common to do so I was like what do you mean? And he said cause you are Latino, and I was like what? And after he started asking personal questions definitely unnecessary. I was just going to drink and have a good time but I ended up and this place feeling uncomfortable cause the bartender walked away with my card and was my fault for asking cause where I am coming from is common that's what that other employee said too. (white girl) very disappointed ? I am not going back never again

The vibe and music in iRock are nice, but the Bar Tenders and Service in this place is terrible. They act like they are doing you a favor when they serve you. If I were the owner, I would start over.

Small but nice. Didn't get to taste the food and I didn't drink, But the karaoke was fun. There was a DJ playing in the bar area and we could definitely hear it from our rooms. There is a cover charge that can go towards your drinks and there are extra fees to the karaoke rooms so ask about that before booking.
