Our Guestbook
“ I attended a live musical performance by BB Guns at Bottlerocket Social Hall with a friend. Although parking can be a little challenging, we thoroughly enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. It was like taking a step back in time with the paneling on the walls and the black and white tv playing Pirates' games from the 70's. However, the owner/bartender was wonderful, the Bottlerocket Punch was delicious and the Reuben Dog was perfect (just wish they had a wider variety of food offerings). We're definitely going to go back again. ”
“ Had a really fun time here seeing Kyle Gordon! Bartenders were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed getting a beer and a hot dog before the show! The bar was nicely decorated and I loved the old TVs that showed the stage. ”
“ I have attended a few events here. I love the atmosphere of an old dive bar and the people. It amazes me how they can plan events for almost every day I'm a month. The Hot Dogs were also excellent and they have very good cocktails and drinks. Check out their calendar of events on their site, I'm sure you will find something to do that peaks your interest. I recommend Bad Movie Bingo ”
“ Couldn’t describe a better spot for a night out! BottleRocket is such a fun venue and has great programming every week. They have affordable drinks and quirky hot dog options along with other food as well. When I go there I always feel welcomed and don’t feel overwhelmed by the number people for the events, and since almost all are affordable but ticketed, the customer volume is rather consistent. I would recommend following them on Instagram, they are always posting about the comedians, musicians, and other themed nights they have scheduled. ”
“ Incredibly cosy venue with a great retro atmosphere with so many fun details. There’s not a single bad seat in this venue, plus there’s plenty of screens to make sure you have multiple viewing options- many being charming CRT televisions! We traveled here to see Mal Blum’s Fall Solo Tour with John-Allison Weiss, and the show was fantastic. Got decent parking, was in super fast, and staff was very kind. One of, if not the most friendly and welcoming venue I’ve been to. Will absolutely keep this venue on my radar, it was a long trip but absolutely worth it. ”
“ It's quite a slightly bizarre yet charming 70s theme/vibe. Second time here, would 10/10 recommend! ”
“ Relaxed and casual bar with different themed nights and shows. I saw Therapy Gecko (comedic live therapy sessions by a guy dressed up as a gecko) here a few months ago and recently went to one of their themed DJ nights with friends. Cover fees are usually 10 for nights with a DJ. It's a small space but it wasn't crowded and lots of people were dancing. The drinks are affordable and the bartenders are always really nice. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you live nearby or need something to do on the weekend. I do appreciate the space though and hope to go back in the future. I haven't tried their food before but have heard good things. Not sure if they have a lot of vegan options but I have seen them post about vegetarian options on their Instagram. ”
“ One of the best venues I've been to. Very cozy space that can still comfortably fit a good size crowd. Staff is incredibly nice and thoughtful and I've been able to see great performances I wouldn't have seen anywhere else! ”
