The Rock Bar — Restaurant in Alice Springs

We went to the Rock Bar after our “The Rock Uluru-Tour” as a group. They were having “Drag-Bingo” that night which was a lot of fun (the host was very entertaining and funny). The food was ok. What bothered me tho was that people who won bingo got a 50$ bar tab as a prize and the way the bar staff was dealing with it seemed dodgy. One of the winners ordered 2 alcoholic drinks and 1 water. When she went to get her next drink, they charged her. After a while, she decided to bring it up to them and without even checking her tab they were like “ohhh, it wasn’t you who ordered the big carafe, well in that case you still have over 30$ left on your tab.” When she asked for a refund of the money they charged her, they told her they’d have to speak to the manager first who wasn’t there at the time and gave her a drink for free instead (which she would have gotten anyway). 2 other people told me similar things had happened to them. So, just make sure to keep track of your orders and don’t be shy to bring it up when it doesn’t feel right. Ask how much you have left on your tab before ordering more drinks.

Also, some young indigenous girls came running into the bar twice. While I understand that they aren’t allowed in there and were doing it for fun, one of them was pushed out of the door quite harshly. I personally don’t think that was a good way to deal with...

Meeting the owner was amazing he really calmed my nerves about going out in Alice Springs as he said if anything happens there's so many of them that help out and work together to keep the bar safe The toliets were clean. the outdoor bar was lovely and it's so cool to dance under the stars. the indoor bar was great with super friendly bar staff. The music was popping. The only recommendation I have is that they have two different types of DJ as the indoor section and the outdoor section very much sounded the same.

I have a wonderful safe time and would recommend all people to spend the night there and no switch between bars as it's...

I asked for a pint of lager and barmaid said she has absolutely no idea what lager is. Then I pointed at the tap that was covered with a plastic cup: "Something similar to Kirin?" "We are out of Kirin." "Similar to Kirin?" "I don't drink beer so I don't know what it tastes like." Luckily there were big beermats on the counter advertising dry LAGER so I could point to those and get my beer. Overall bar is really brightly lit and bit soulless too. Food was fine, few veggie choices but friends steaks and schnitzels looked good. Food is cheap, whereas my pint was 10.50 - that's definitely...
