Rocky's Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Rahway

This review is mainly about the bar and entertainment at Rocky's Bar and Grill. Since I have never eaten there (yet) I am not rating the food. First, with so many local bars having entertainment closing/closed since covid, I'm greatful for those surviving and some thriving providing musical entertainment whether it be karaoke, DJ or live music to its patrons. Been going to Rockys, which is about 25 miles away for me for years on occasion primarily to see classic and hard rock bands, mostly cover bands perform. There is ampke room between the band and patrons if they decide to dance and seating surrounding the open floor area. People attending all seem to be there to have a good time and have never seen any issues. The bar is not fancy and that's alright with me. They have a back area outside with tables for sitting, drinking, private conversation, smoking, etc. which works for me. There is a parking lot behind the bar and usually fills quickly when a band is playingweekend nights. The staff are attentive, hustle to serve everyone and are generally friendly. Drink prices are reasonable and pour seems standard for (my) mixed drinks. The bar reminds me a little bit like Moby's in Woodbridge but with more room to see/enjoy the band. If you're into live music I would recommend going to Rockys to see some of the local bands. Saw both Kathouse and Stereo Circus bands there and loved them both. Love a place that supports live music....

I'm not sure if the cook is no longer here, but the last few times I ordered wings to go, they were horrible. The first time I called & the gentleman on the phone said that the cook wasn't in but i can order, so I ordered wings... the worse I've had for here, they were so dry, the sauce was old and burnt and chicken taste like it was cooked over top hard to eat, i didn't go to complain cause I usually love the wings & didn't wanna look like a pain in the rare end. But the second time, that was it for me. I'm never ordering to go, I need to see the food before eating it, and the lady who took the order had no personality made it even worse even when I picked up the no so good...

Had such a great time at Rocky’s tonight! The pizza is so delicious with a super thin crust just the way I like it. Not too heavy. Live music on Saturday nights. Tonight’s band Gypsea Soul really hit it out of the park playing tunes that I haven’t heard in a while and made me really want to dance. Friendly service and good people. Will...
