AntonioOctober 4, 2015Ithica on tap. Kitchen upstairs with great food. Music rocking my socks off. Yup. (banging tacos across the street too!)
Damian BayonaApril 25, 2016Large outdoor patio with lots of Modular seating. Suns get blocked in the early afternoon bc of the adjoining building. $3 Genesee and $4 Tecates
AskMenMay 7, 2010Run by the Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge team. It replaces two floors of lesbian-rich Cattyshack with two floors of flat-screen-rich drinking, roof-deck lounging and (soon) live music.
Great place to watch football on Sunday. Not dominated by one fan group. Fans of all teams welcome.
rich masioAugust 15, 2015Cheap beer, roof deck and an upstairs bar to get away from the mostly mediocre music. If they start booking some professional bands, watch out. No reason to go to Williamsburg
Matt RaoulAugust 15, 2011There are some great local bands so see someone you don't know. If they suck, you can always head to the great roofdeck.
Qbrad WitoverMay 23, 2011Here Come the Warm Jets by a multitude of musicians. Was amazing. Audio was great. Bar has a roofdeck. Good in good weather, always bad to have plastic cups. Read more
This place has concerts and a sports bar, nice outdoor spot and a pool table, burgers & waffle fries, it's sort of my new livingroom
This place is great and all the bartenders are super friendly.
Megan DoSeptember 9, 2012Amazing rooftop patio and great Bloody Mary's. Perfect spot for day drinking.
Naomi T.May 5, 2012Bootleg Elvira Bartender that gives you phony smile when you walk in then a nasty face when she turns her head not so cool, lol. Took friends and business next door to mission Delores
SPINOctober 15, 2013Oaxaca Taqueira across the street is very, very good. Hit it up if you've got time to kill before a set.
Brady DaleJune 12, 2014This is another one of those ridiculous places where the bar and the kitchen are on different accounts. So you can use a card at the bar but not for food.
There's a kitchen upstairs and the burger is very good (shake shack/burger joint style). And only six bucks.
A lot of great and new bands are starting to perform at this venue thanks to the new talent buyer. Great lounge upstairs and sports bar.
Best sound - middle of bulls eye, best burger - Rock Shop burger, best draft - Brooklyn Blast.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 24, 2010Check out the upstairs bar and rooftop patio! Downstairs hosts an excellent nightly roster of indie rock bands.
Now that there's food Sunday Funday became easier. A chill vibe while watching your favorite team
Anthony RobertsNovember 19, 2013Really liked watching the game upstairs, then popping down for a bit of live music.
J CrowleyMarch 1, 2011Al Capone's childhood home is right around the corner. Walk south 1 block and turn left - it's at 38 Garfield.
Leah TaylorMay 7, 2011Great sound for a small venue. Also, good bookings thanks to (I think?) Skippy, late of Union Hall/Bell House.
Jeri GurkaApril 15, 2014Hey Chantelle How are you? Is that Dinosaur BBQ as good as Texas BBQ?? LOL! Good Chatting w/you...
Ariel HyatAugust 31, 2011Anytime you are in Park Slope, it's a good thing... The Cabernet is ech but the beer is great!
I love sports. Hate TVs in a bar. But The upstairs at Rock Shop is super cool sports bar.
Barry HottAugust 3, 2010Great spot for live music, surprisingly good sound for a small venue. Also, really sweet roof deck$
Hit up the kitchen for munchies my favorite fries and tuna wrap on 4th ave
Emma MHJuly 31, 2010Check out the lovely roof deck at Rock Shop, catch a show downstairs or play a game of pool.
Jaro G4September 3, 2010This is a good spot to come see some bands and mixed/ straight drinks are between $7-$9
Zack SheppardMarch 7, 2014Good whiskey selection, but waaaaay too expensive! $10 per shot of "ok" bourbon is too much!
Eric BlessingMay 29, 2012If you are a vegetarian, check and double check your veggie burger before you take a bite of it; or, you might be very disappointed with a mouth full of meat.
