Rocks

Strong gay identity. Ran across the street after a disappointing experience at Waterworks...and I mean RAN. Rocks isn't as pretty but that's where the men seem to have gone. Women will be "welcomed" in the sense that they will let you in the door, but if you have a vagina at this place be prepared for a lot of awkward stares pointed your way. This place is testosterone only, de facto if not de jure. It has a strong leather presence. If you like to be tied up you're sure to find a man whose willing here. This is THE gay bar on central. I had a great time here, and I did NOT leave alone !!! Just going to rant here for a sec but as far as I'm concerned women can stay away from Rocks, last thing gay people need is a bunch of straight women messing up yet another gay bar like they did with Waterworks. Gay bars are for gay people; straight people stay away. I know we're fun to be around and a gay bar is always more fun then a straight bar but gay people NEED gay bars, straight people have their own. When staight people hang out at gay bars, all you do is ruin it and force the gay people to find somewhere else where they can feel at home and among their own. Once the gay people leave, its just another boring straight bar. Straight people who go to gay bars are so selfish and they are stealing our places to come together with our communites because that straight person is "normal" aka: boring and has no personality of their own and wouldn't know a good time if it flounced up in stillettos and slapped them like a queen with a serious attitude that our people absolutely love and straight people treat like a circus clown; all so they can inappropriately appropriate a culture not their own because its more interesting and fun than they are.

My friends and I were very impressed with our first time at ROCKS. After having an issue getting into Waterworks with a real ID, and calling the police, we gave ROCKS a try. Thankfully we did. The bartenders were very friendly, the bathroom facilities are clean and the locks on the doors work, and they have touch tunes. We are 100% going back!

Great place to meet new friends and enjoy time with those you already know. Very casual and welcoming. Music good, too I wish I was younger so I could take full advantage of all they offer... especially dancing. Stay happy and healthy.

Was there for the first time tonight. Ok, I got to see a fight brought on by past relationship issues, but the bouncers/staff handled it well. All offending parties were removed. Other than that, a very mellow and accepting atmosphere. Very inclusive. Not as "cliquy" as its gay neighbor across the road. Met some nice people. Enjoyable, even in this post Covid atmosphere. Gonna make this my new spot
