Editorial Review for Red Rock West – by Leah Hochbaum
The Scene
In a shady part of the city that seems more Old West than nouveau riche, one finds 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.
The Draw
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--many would say the term only loosely applies here--set the bar ablaze with whiskey and dance demon-like among the flames.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIt's mighty hot by the burning bar, so sit back a bit.
Know Before You GoThe 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.

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!!!
Pros: Wild night out
Cons: not for the snobish

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... ...
Pros: none
Cons: bartenders
