Rock 'N' Horse Saloon — Restaurant in Toronto

Me and my girlfriend showed up at 11:30pm(bouncer and website said they close at 2am) we asked the the bouncer what time last call was and he said he didn't know, so we thought we'll go in and ask the bar tender.

We go up only to find out it's a $15 entry fee ($30 total for me and my girl) but I thought $15 isn't bad for a club in Toronto so let's do it.

The first bartender we spoke to was super nice and I had no issue with her, I ordered a double rum and coke and a tap water Wich came to $23(a little pricy in my mind but I know Toronto is more expensive than most places so whatever), we asked her what time last call was and she told us 1:30 and also told us there was a mechanical bull we could ride and if we last 30 seconds we get a free drink.

After I finished my first drink I went to order another(it was about 11:50 at this time) but there was a new bartender and she told me they were out of hard liquor and she could only serve me a beer, I don't like beer so I asked if there was any liquor at all even if it's not rum to Wich she annoyingly responded "white or spiced" so I said "spiced please", she then pulls out a full bottle of spiced rum and made my drink.(So she was lying to me?)

I asked this new bartender how much it was to ride the bull and she said free but they weren't operating the bull anymore tonight only to see 2 mins later a group of 4 guys signing up to ride the bull so I thought "okay she said no just to get me off her back and not have to deal with people wanting to ride the bull anymore?" So I went and signed up to give it a try.

I was told I needed to sign a waiver before riding the bull and so I did, while the other guys were taking their turn I tried to make small talk with the lady overlooking the bull and I asked if she's ever tried it herself and how hard it was? To Wich she again annoyingly replied "its hard,sign the waiver.

At this point I could tell it was clear that none of the staff wanted to be there and they were all in a bad mood so I just waited my turn for the bull.

I lasted 8 seconds on the bull and as soon as my turn was over the bouncer came and told everyone they're closing and we all need to leave even tho it was still pretty much 2 hrs until close and they never even called last call.

At this point my girlfriend was in the bathroom so I tried to make small talk with the bouncer and so i asked him if he's ever tried the bull to Wich he replied "what?", I guess he didn't hear me so I asked again and instead of replying to me in a civil manner with a simple yes or no, he rolled his, let out a big sigh and just turned his back to me.

I won't lie this interaction with the bouncer pissed me off and that's when I decided to leave a review(Wich I never do).

Long story short I paid $30 to get into a dead club that no one wanted to be in(not even the staff) only to get serverd overpriced drinks with a side of shitty attitude.

P.S. I understand not wanting to be at work and for me it's a night out but for them it's a job, but if I'm paying $30 just to even get into your dead bar I don't think it's unreasonable for me to expect service with a smile and my bartenders not to lie to me about...

I went here for the first time with a couple of friends since they've been wanting to do the mechanical bull ride for forever.

First off, we went on a Saturday before 10pm and there's an entry fee of $25 pp, unless you've bought tickets online. They also offer a QR code to scan to get the better deal (which we did). They're also a cashless venue, which I don't really like.

It wasn't busy when we came in, which was more my vibe. My friends got to ride the bull and learn some line dancing, so I'm glad they had fun. Definitely a good place if you love country music.

However, I had the opposite experience. I couldn't really get into the vibe like my friends. I decided to get a cocktail in the bucket since it seemed like a cool thing to get there. I was intrigued by it. Bartender that served me was nice, but as she handed me the machine for me to pay, the price for the drink showed that it was $28. (They don't show the drink prices, they just show the list of their drinks) That's a lot for a slushie in a plastic toy bucket.

Drink didn't even fill the bucket all the way, so I'm a bit annoyed by this point. But my friends and I figured it was because people were allowed to take the bucket home afterwards.

WRONG.

When we finished the drink and decided to leave, we were stopped by one of the staff (the one that stamps the wrists) at the stairs and he said I wasn't allowed to take the bucket, even though it was empty at this point. I know this wouldn't affect their liquor license since it was empty, so I don't know what their problem was regarding this. It was a toy bucket that probably costed no more than $3 at a dollar store.

Overall, not my thing. It's overpriced. There are definitely better bars and clubs in Toronto. But if you're into the whole country scene, then I...

I recently had the misfortune of visiting this place that left me feeling uneasy and, quite frankly, disgusted. The overall vibe was peculiar and uncomfortable, which was not at all what I was expecting. Allow me to paint a picture of my experience, so you can understand why I simply cannot recommend this establishment.

Upon entering the venue, I was immediately struck by the oddity of its design. Huge pipes adorned the ceiling, which seemed like a questionable choice for aesthetics. The situation was only worsened by the fact that they were dripping water all over the place. This not only created a sense of unease but was also a potential hazard for guests who could easily slip on the wet floor.

The cleanliness, or lack thereof, was genuinely shocking. Garbage was strewn about the floor, making it feel as though I was walking through a landfill rather than a reputable establishment. The staff seemed oblivious to the mess, which only made the situation more baffling.

But what truly pushed my experience from bizarre to downright repulsive was the smell. The air was thick with the stench of human feces. I couldn't determine if someone in the vicinity was suffering from severe flatulence, if the odor was emanating from the washroom, or if it was even coming from the very pipes that loomed above. Regardless, the odor was overpowering and made it nearly impossible to enjoy any aspect of my visit.

In conclusion, I cannot in good conscience recommend this venue to anyone. The strange atmosphere, lack of cleanliness, and repugnant odor make it a place that should be avoided at all costs. It is my sincere hope that the management takes these issues seriously and works to improve the conditions in the future, but until then, I suggest looking elsewhere for your...
