Establishment is not so large that you're gonna get lost but big enough to dance and sing on most nights. Karaoke is offered by DJ Dennis Bailey . The drinks are not expensive, but they're not fancy either. They do not offer food at this location, but you are welcome to order from other area restaurants for delivery. The crowd leans heavy toward country and western, but there's plenty of rock 'n' roll. Birthdays are frequently celebrated here by the patrons.

I pulled up and there was a woman a bit to tipsy to drive, and a bartender came out insisting she call an uber and made sure she got home okay, so they have my respect for that great first impression. They only have 3 things on the menu: burger, hotdog, and Doritos nachos. I ordered the burger and it was pretty good. Honestly, no notes. I'll be back.

I've given Rockwall Tavern more than enough chances, but the vibe has been the same every time:…read morecold, unwelcoming, and dismissive -- from the bar staff all the way up to ownership. It's never felt like a place that values new faces or fresh energy, and that's a missed opportunity. As for karaoke nights, it's no secret there's an inner circle. If you're not part of it, good luck. Despite signing up early and showing up ready to contribute to the night, I've consistently been pushed back or overlooked. It's hard to ignore when the same familiar faces keep rotating through while others wait endlessly. The karaoke host (yes, you know who you are) makes it clear who's in and who's out. If you're confident, talented, or don't "fit the clique," don't expect fair treatment. Some people protect their spotlight at the expense of others -- and that's exactly what happens here. It's unfortunate, because karaoke should be about building a vibe, not gatekeeping one. It's no wonder the place was dead last Saturday. Places that don't grow community eventually lose it. I'm speaking up not out of hate, but because I believe people deserve to know the truth -- and Rockwall deserves better than what this spot currently offers.

Why yes I am because I didn't approve that transaction so therefore you are stealing from me. Owner was slurring her words and was rude from the jump. I am a bartender myself and I know the regulations. A 3$ tip on a 6$ tab is 50% not the legal 20% on a "walked tab", but I used tap to pay on my phone. Thieves for employees and drunks for owners. Don't waste your money! Beware the bartender who thinks she deserved a 50% tip on poor service gos by the name of Lacey B. 3$,5$,100$ it doesn't matter. Theft is theft.

Cutting mics off and lights was crossing the line.
