iRock Karaoke Lounge — Restaurant in Derwood

A Great Establishment with a Serious Security Issue

I have been to I Rock Karaoke Lounge several times, and I must say that overall, it’s a fantastic venue. The atmosphere is lively, the sound system is top-notch, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s one of those places where you can truly relax, have fun, and enjoy great music with friends.

The establishment’s commitment to safety and security is also commendable. They make it clear that they care about their patrons' well-being, and I’ve seen their security team actively working to keep things safe without being overbearing. However, there is one glaring issue that cannot be overlooked.

Unfortunately, during my most recent visit, I was in a incident involving one of the security guards. This individual, rather than de-escalating a tense situation, chose to respond with aggression and, disturbingly, physical force. The situation involved me a woman, and the security guard’s actions were not only excessive but also careless, as he struck me in the face in the process. This is not the behavior anyone should expect from security personnel, and it casts a shadow over what would otherwise be a great experience.

It’s important to note that I have always felt safe at I Rock Karaoke Lounge until this incident, and I believe the management needs to take this matter seriously. Security should prioritize de-escalation and a calm, professional approach to any situation. If I Rock wants to maintain its reputation as a safe and enjoyable venue, this issue must be addressed immediately. No one should feel threatened or unsafe at a place designed for fun and relaxation.

For I Rock Karaoke Lounge to continue thriving and avoid the risk of losing customers, it is crucial that they take action and ensure their security staff are properly trained in handling conflicts in a manner that prioritizes the safety and dignity of all patrons. This could very well be the difference between the venue remaining a popular hotspot and one that, unfortunately, people...

My Experience at iRock Lounge: A Disappointing and Unsafe Outing

I recently visited iRock Lounge for the first time and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. Despite the rave reviews I had read online, I found the establishment to be unsanitary, unsafe, and unwelcoming.

Security personnel are supposed to have a certain persona when greeting customers, but the staff at iRock Lounge were rude, unapproachable, and downright mean. The bartenders were decent, with one even being friendly, but the drinks were incredibly strong, causing my friends and me to make sour faces after just a few sips. Honestly after those first few sips, I felt something wrong and just kept drinking water.

The karaoke experience was also a letdown, with malfunctioning equipment and a microphone that kept turning off. In the end, we opted to forgo the karaoke and just listen to music instead.

The worst part of the experience, however, was the safety hazard. When it was time to close, the security personnel began shouting and cursing, even going so far as to get in the face of a customer who was waiting for his girlfriend in the restroom. The situation escalated quickly, with many people including myself caught in the middle of the chaos.

Overall, my first experience at iRock Lounge was traumatizing and not at all what I had hoped for. As someone who was celebrating a birthday, I wanted a memorable experience, but what I got was anything but. I cannot recommend iRock Lounge to anyone and will never be returning. The environment was dangerous, hostile, dirty, and dysfunctional. It's shocking that the establishment is still operating. Whoever owns the establishment is either unaware of what's happening or is allowing paying customers to be treated poorly. When drinks are overpoured to the point where customers are throwing up. From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you're kicked out, the experience is a...
