What People Are Saying About Red Rock West

On a stretch of 10th Avenue that still seems more Old West than nouveau riche sits Red Rock West, a bar that is so unabashedly trashy it makes the similarly themed Coyote Ugly look almost respectable. A wagon wheel hangs from the ceiling, a random assortment of saddles ride the walls and at least two sets of large bull horns add to the tacky chic vibe. All this place lacks is a well-greased mechanical bull. Businessmen and bikers come out in abundance for the saloon's main attraction: the scantily clad, well-endowed female bartenders mounting the bar for impromptu hoedowns. A bouncer sits Buddha-like on the side, watching over the proceedings, as the ladies--a term which some might argue only applies loosely here--set the bar ablaze with whiskey and dance demon-like among the flames. What could be better than that?

I've been a Red Rock patron since 2002 and the bar ROCKS! I don't know what the guy who posted before me was crying about because those girls work their asses off to get the customers good and wasted!! The bar gets packed and they still get drinks out as fast as ya could want!!! If you want a good time at a bar that takes no prisoners then go check out "The Rock" It will be your new home away from home in NYC!!!

WHat a horrific experience tonight at Redrock.... I brought in a bunch of friends from out of town and could not even get a drink. The bar was not that crowded but the trailer park bartenders would not serve me. I understand they may fit the "scene" of the bar by wearing trashy clothes but the bar would actually make a much larger profit if the bartenders would actually serve the patrons at the bar. The overweight brunette and the trailer park blonde did a great routine to devil went down to georgia but refused to pour a beer for me or any of the other Service men that were at the bar for fleet week. What a disgrace! They should be ashamed of themselves and crawl back to the sorry trailer they stumbled out of. The blond was especially a sad excuse for a bartender. I'm sure one of the numerous strip clubs could use another trashy mindless unattractive loser. NEVER GO TO THIS BAR. Waste of time. Unless of course you like to watch white trash and not have a drink... Coyote Ugly has seen its day.. Its over.. get a new gimmick... ...

A little tanked from the bachelor party I just finished, but as I upload the pictures of the night's event, to e-mail to the wife to be, I figured I had to write a review of the various places I went tonight, of which Red Rock West was by far the best. Though a tiny bit commercialized since the Coyote Ugly movie, it still retains that wild, crazy atmosphere that inspired the film, much more so than Hogs and Heifers. What's more it smells a damn site better than the real Coyote Ugly, which would give Fabreze an unbeatable challenge! Amazingly the bar has a 50/50 mixture of girls to guy (at least around 10ish on a Saturday), and they put on one hell of a show. Plus for a few bucks they will totally humiliate the hell out of your buddy that's getting married. Went to Hogs and Heifers afterwards thinking it would be even crazier. But was sorely disappointed. Also tried out Coyote Ugly but the overwhelming stench drove us back to Red Rock West. And low and behold, we get back to this heavenly establishment and some girl is up on the bar doing a show that would go down well in Scores! God bless America and Red Rock West!

Where to Sit:
It's mighty hot by the burning bar, so sit back a bit.
Know Before You Go:
The bar boasts both billiards and a dart board, but be aggressive if you want to play or you'll keep getting pushed to the back of the line.
