    Great spot. Divey with cheap beers served in a glass goblet. 😳 Great photos and art around. Only drawback is the mens line is longer than the ladies due to cokeheads. Thought that shit made quick.

    This bar rules. Delicious drinks. Giant cheap draft beers. Plenty of seats and a backyard. Plus, old school Budweiser lamps and posters everywhere.

    Check out the new bar in Williamsburg, Rocka Rolla. It has a three-dimensional 1969 Bud carousel sign, hovering like a dream over the bar & is a laidback jewel-box temple to robust rock & cheap suds. Read more

    My favorite bar in Williamsburg. Great rock music from other decades, people of all ages, wacky aunts with tats, cool kids, laid back atmosphere, there's space to move around yet stays intimate.

    Frozen coffee drinks and huge chalices are awesome. Shuffle board table has no glide - proceed with caution.

    Loud, grunge-y, fun. In the summer, the small back patio opens up and it's a great place to hang out. The Bourbon Slush is a great way to go.

    Rock music, cheap drinks, outdoor space, shuffle board. If you like coffee, you gotta order the “coffee thing

    Everything you'd expect in a Williamsburg bar. Great prices, a lively crowd, outdoor space and a couple of bar games. A little short on mens' bathroom space though.

    Awesome jukebox with mainly 70s and 80s heavy metal. Taco truck in the back. Same owner as Lucky Dog and Skinny Dennis (and more).

    The coffee thing is delicious and pretty strong. Plus they serve it in an awesome NYC deli coffee cup

    Owners of Skinny Dennis bring you to this Eastern part of Williamsburg partition of beards Tats and obviously important professions. Ask a hipster what rocka rolla means 1000$ says they have no idea.

    Cheap beers in a chalice. Hair metal. Big buck Hunter. Good bartenders. These are a few of my favorite things.

    Get the 1 pound margarita! Dreamy price. Then play Ramones, GNR and Scorpions on the jukebox.

    Way cooler than any of the bars that used to be in this space. WAY cooler. And cheaper. And more fun. Almost too much fun to be in this era of Williamsburg.

    Great frozen coffee cocktail. The jukebox is a lot of fun too! Bad attitude from the bar staff that made me never want to go back

    Grab a bourbon slush or a $5 goblet of beer and head outside to the garden area. Fun spot!

    where else can you get an arm workout while drinking? the $5 beer chalices are better than dumbbells.

    Packed like sardines wearing skinny jeans and denim jackets. Gets old after a while, but not a bad place. Very 'hip'.
