Pleasantly surprised
My first visit didn't go so well for reasons possibly too numerous and too subjective to include. Last night decided to give it another try. Robby was an awesome, friendly bartender. People seemed to be having fun and I was greeted by a few, nice change. They even had the sports channel on which unfortunately gave me the opportunity o witness my pre-season game from earlier that night sending my team home losers but, I loved the place. More low key and happy than the first time. Hope to make it for Robbie's Birthday celebration and other occasions for a fun, relaxing happy time. Bravo, ROCKS.
Another bad review from testeralb, SHOCKING... go to rocks!
Rocks is geared toward a mixed crowd but does get an older happy hour crowd. They have a fun friday night and mixed dj's on a saturday night. The crowd is again mixed. They do host a bear night every other month. They have a variety night on wednesday, therapy thursday every other thursday (check their schedule on facebook - search therapy thursday!), underwear boys on friday happy hour, ladies happy hour in the club, Friday night youll find anything from themes to money falling from the ceiling! They do a lot of drink and shot specials as well. Sometimes theyll have food on a sunday around 6 pm for the happy hour crowd and David the bartender is always entertaining. It's across the street from waterworks so definitely check out both bars. These are the only two gay clubs in albany (at the time of this review). There is one other bar called Oh Bar which is on lark street. Its small but they do have a pool table and really nice patio. The bartenders are friendly but the crowd can be very "clique-y".
warning
A cover for this place? It's like bears meet twinks meet out of shape 24 year olds with no objective in life. Save the frustration.
LOVE ROCKS
