$6.50 for a can of Diet Pepsi? Bit over the top no? Don't take a leak or they take your drink away from you and throw it out. They have some really good talent hitting the stage

That night it was like karaoke but for any band that wants to play it was great

I only know about the Sunday afternoon blues jam, which is warm, friendly and delightfully crazy. The house band, the Fried Angels serve a mix of traditional blues and reggae with surprising twists, eg mashing up Bessie Smith with Grace Jones. The food is respectable pub food. you don't come for the food, you come for the tunes, but it's great while you listen.

That bar tender was a goof and cursing at me for no reason, drinks were hefty in price, But other than that I had a good time..

Where Rockpile shines is the great rock bands that perform there and the superb sound. Its definitely a bit run down but I like the vibe.
Drinks are very expensive unfortunately but I can usually only drink a couple of them as I have to drive in.

A well known bar with kitchen and large parking lot and covered patio in the back. ATM by entrance for cash as they do not accept debit/credit payment at door or bar and the ATM fee is $3.75 so bring cash before you arrive. Our server was the worst as she rarely came around our section and my table had to goto the bar for some of our drinks. The owner or Manager greeted me at door and was patient as I had to figure out if my early arrived friends paid my entry fee, he showed me to our table. He was always on the floor supporting the kitchen and servers. The stage is small but sound system for live bands is great. Ride-service always enters the wrong driveway as bar driveway signs are not clear or visible but drivers figure it out quickly

Great place to see a band. The sound was very well mixed. That staff and owner were very helpful.

After reading reviews of this place before going we weren’t expecting much, but we were pleasantly surprised! Huge free parking lot, security was cool, small venue allowed me to get close to one of my favourite bands (CKY). It’s a “dive bar” so don’t expect a great first date location, but to see a rock show, it was ideal. Only complaint was a bottle of beer was $9.50, and it was cash only. However, friendly guy working the bar informed us it’s a better deal to do a mini pitcher of beer for $14! Woman working food and drink service for the table seats was working insanely hard to make sure everyone had a drink without missing the show. Not sure what others are complaining about staff wise.
The place has a great vibe with great staff and a killer P a system

First time at Rockpile. Mixed impressions: - The venue is really run down, both outside and inside. It could be improved with a bit of work. - Awful sound. I have no idea how someone can praise the sound quality there. It’s muddy and way too loud. - Nice people and service, - Expensive food and drinks
In the end, I did not really care that the place was run down. The friendly environment made up for it. I went there for the music, which is where the poor sound quality really bothered me.
