We came here on a Wednesday evening for the Broadway Bar Sing-along and my goodness it was more fun than I anticipated. A friend of mine got tickets for us because we love musicals and karaoke and thought, what a great way to blend the two! Our MC was a lovely person by the name of Hummingbird Meadows and she really knew how to work the crowd. There was a mix of trivia, "auditions" for roles of Grease, and various sing-alongs, as well as karaoke of musicals. There was also themed drinks that you can get with your tickets. They aren't going to be around for much longer (August, i think?) so if you're looking for a fun thing to do and you like musicals, you should definitely check this out. read more

Expensive, music sucks, their tv with "music videos" was playing ads. Broke bar can't pay for YouTube premium ig. Went on a whim with friends not knowing what they offered, didn't have a single beer option. What kind of bar doesn't have beer? Charged me more per shot because I was jewish. I paid $31 for two shots, while my black friend paid $26. Place was also crowded with weirdos read more

I visited twice for Holly Jolly bar popup (since tickets were nonrefundable). The first time, they were super unprepared with only one bartender stressfully working the entire bar and not enough materials, so the drinks were messy and inconsistent. The decor and vibe were also just typical, so it wasn't really worth the ticket cost over going to any other bar. The second time was much smoother, with more Christmas decor (like lights) and more consistent drinks. There are booths and standing tables which are first come first serve (not included with ticket). It's EXTREMELY loud in here and noise pierces heavily, so it's more fun for large groups. read more

I had high hopes but sadly the Holly Jolly Pop Up here was very poorly executed. It was $35 a ticket per person on a Friday night and this isn't even the highest admission rate that they have. The welcome drink was the Milk and Cookies drink which is an actual cocktail on the holiday menu. I would rather drink a latte buzzball over their milk and cookies cocktail. Some drinks had the toasted marshmallow included while most did not. They also came in all sorts of different glasses. All of the other holiday drinks we ordered in addition were all missing ingredients or tasted like water. Most of our drinks did not come in holiday cups as they ran out and were very disorganized. Other customers received a half empty cocktail in a cup because "it's supposed to come in another cup". The bar only had 3 bartenders and they were very overwhelmed. There was no point in buying a ticket ahead of time when you could walk in at a later time when the bar was way less crowded. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this holiday pop up nor this bar. read more

My cousins and I were looking for a place with a dance floor and good music and we found Rockwell! Although there was a cover charge it wasn't too bad. The music was great and the ambiance was solid. I didn't get any drinks but I tried my sister-in-law's AMF and it was delicious. The dance floor although was crowded, there was till plenty of space for a group of 10 people. The music playing was on hit and every song was a banger. People were nice and they were able to accept either cash or venmo for the cover. The only thing that stood out to me the most was there was an odd amount of body odor, but other than that, solid spot! read more

Went here for a pop up "holly jolly", the place was very well decorated all in christmas themed. Purchased tickets online for the event, is nice that they offered a welcome drink along with the ticket, but downside, they pick your drink for you. Which was disappointing because you pay $30 something for the ticket for a drink you don't even like! The welcome drink was cookies and milk, i'm sorry but it was gross! We ordered some other drinks and they weren't good! The place was also super crowded and tiny. It seems very unorganized. So sad because the place was so nicely decorated. So not what was expected... we end up leaving. Such a waste read more

It was my first time going here with my group. The bouncer was cool, and there was no cover! The bar looked nice inside, with only 1 bar area to order drinks from. There was plenty of free table seating. There were a couple bartenders and they were pretty good about getting to everyone in a quick and timely manner. The DJ was playing a lot of 2010s throwbacks, it was cool! Reason I'm giving 3 stars are shots are overpriced for sure. I got a Tito's shot with OJ back, and that was around $17! Restrooms were kinda gross. Gender neutral stalls, and one of the stalls didn't have a door on it. The one my cousin and I used the toilet didn't flush well. read more

Went here for Santa Con . The bartender working the older one was rude as fuck !! Saw him pour no liquor into our drinks and when I asked him if it had any tequila in it he said "mind your business" I know it was busy but wtf??? I still left tip because we were having a good time and didn't want to kill the vibe by starting issues . Literally soooo rude . We spent a lot of money here that day and I'm glad I noticed that little trick they were doing . We left right after ! read more

Rockwell is located in the Marina District. I came here a couple of weekends ago with my friend to attend this dating app launch party. The place was alright, since we were there for an event I'm sure the crowd was different so I don't know what type of people typically go here. My friend and I just got a simple well drink pineapple vodka, their pineapple juice came from the soda gun which we were surprised. It didn't come out that yellow and it tasted watered down. read more

I saw this pop up bar for the holidays being hosted here at Rockwell (Holly Jolly ) it seemed fun so I decided to take my sister here I am very disappointed it looks nothing like the advertisement on Instagram the host in front was super friendly and makes up for all the horrible service inside , you get a welcome drink with the purchase of reserving the tickets the bartender was extremely overwhelmed and the drink was trash it was poorly made and it took around 25 min to receive it , the other 2 bartender's also did not seem jolly and it was overwhelming. The line to get the drinks was not organized and overall the decorations are very sad you can have more fun walking around at your local Walmart I think they should limit the amount of people they allow per hour so the bartenders can have the proper time to make the cocktails Would not recommend at all . read more

I went to this club by myself the security was good the bartender was good but there was no rope to section off my area random people came in my area and bumped my table causing my drinks to spill a random guy threw up on my feet. someone stole my bottle and security found it in another section I spent 500 and I tip everyone. there was a drunk guy that fell on my table I told staff and they let him back in ‍. the bartender was so nice that it was hard to be mad. but for the money plus my bottle being stolen and being thrown up on I need a refund or a better night out read more

New 5-star place to party in Cow Hollow/Marina! The music slaps, the drinks are fire, and the space is swanky. On a regular night, expect throwbacks and top hits. Cover - $5 for girls, $10 for guys, cash only. Cocktails are about $12 each. The bathrooms are gender neutral stalls guarded by a bouncer who directs you to the next open stall. Restrooms are clean and well stocked (this place is new, after all). There's a huge fan in the corner, like the kind you'd find in a gym. They take airflow and ventilation seriously. The club is a single square room, but the bar juts out into the middle so there's plenty of bar space. read more

This is for the Frankenstein Madlab, I went with a couple girlfriends, we had purchased the tickets online. It's states that there is 90 minute experience that is just completely untrue. It's just like a normal dive bar that has some Halloween decorations. There was no tables available at all and the cocktail that was included in the ticket wasn't as described either there was nothing Halloween about it and there was no Halloween experience. We couldn't even sit down!! read more

I'm a believer that a Moscow Mule can tell you all you need to know about a bar. Rockwell's are weak. But if you're a fan of Avril Lavigne, you're in for a good 3 minutes. read more

A super fun lounge-slash-club in the Marina -- we stopped by on a Friday night and the place was poppin! They have a dance floor in the middle and were playing great music ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Bonus points for the fun music videos on the LED screen -- it was such a vibe. The cocktails are solid and not too pricey. It wasn't crowded to the point of feeling suffocated, but still had plenty of folks there. The energy was 10/10, cannot recommend enough! read more

Dear Mr. Bartender, I did not appreciate the RUDENESS. Given that it was pandemonium, I was screaming for him to hear HENNESSY AND COKE million times. He gave me 3 HENNESSY coke and a JACK DANIEL. I told him that I didn't order Jack Daniels. He was so upset, yelled at my face and lectured me on how to PROPERLY ORDER. I am a 33 yrs old woman and and have been in Clubs/Pubs/Bars million timeS and they did understand me WHENEVER I AM ordering MY HENNESSY COKE. I was with my 2 other friends and I even asked them if I sounded too asian with my accent OR if I sound drunk or something. Bartender was EXTREMELY rude, unprofessional, he even argued with my friend (a lady). He is a small white dude. He looks like his in late 30's. He was bartendering Friday Night 5/19/2023 and stayed most of the time in the RIGHT SIDE. read more

What's up with this place????? People are ALWAYs getting their phone STOLEN!!!!!! Why are people constantly complaining about getting their phones stolen and the bartenders and employees don't care don't look for don't ask around simply don't care As if they know this happens all the time!!!!!! Don't go to this bar!!!! Not worth it!!!!! You'll get targeted and your phone will be GONE!!! Don't do it!!!! read more

I attended last night with a large group and we got a table. I ordered 2 shots that was about $30 but was charged a separate charge for $500. I have no idea where this $500 charge came from but just wanted to let people know to stay clear of this bar until management can figure out which bartender is overcharging and scamming customers. It's disappointing given how hyped up this place was to me, i would definitely not come back :( read more

Interior is one of the nicest in marina, feels like you're getting table service when you sit at the free tables. Inexplicably empty but it's nice if you have a big ground and want the space read more

Good view and great food good vibes!!!!good music drinks was amazing good crowd and vibe

I'm writing this review in hopes that management will see to fixing what happened to a very bad situation we had with the bouncer and hopefully they will treat other people of color much better. A group of my friends just flew in from London and we were looking for a bar to hit up. We get to Rockwell and mind you there didn't seem to be any rules about a dress code. Two of my friends, one Asian and one white were able to get in wearing just a t shirt. However my black friend London was wearing some designer sweater but was stopped by their bouncers for "Not having a collared shirt." That was literally their words. I pointed to my other friend who got in and they said "Oh it's because he's wearing a jacket." That's pure bullshit. My black friend started asking a lot of questions to the bouncer and at this point he flat out refused to let my friend enter, even when I had my friend who bartends there vouch for us. Fuck that noise, I took my crew of at least 10 potential paying customers + bottle service out of that place. This is very irritating because this is my friend's first time in America and the very first bar we go to he encounters straight up racism at the door. I will never go back to rockwell again. read more

This place is chic and the drinks are FIRE. The DJ's were seriously rocking the night but the GM Jay seems to want to be in control of the sound and will literally be a tyrant in the booth telling DJs to not play "that Latin sh*t" What's wrong with Latin? Its not like it turned into a Latin night and Latin sound has always and still becoming part of pop culture. So I guess cheesy edm is where its at..which we noticed a lot of people started to leave and so did we in the end(lol which was inevitable we just left earlier then expected) Leave your DJs alone They're f*ck*n GREAT!! And stop walking around the club with your arms crossed. You give off bad vibes. Buh bye. read more

I believe that I was given the date-rape drug (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) at this bar. Based on other reviews and women I have connected with, it appears that this has happened here before. Avoid this bar at all costs - clearly their management knows that this has been an issue. We also never left our drinks, so it is possible that it was a bartender. Truly a disgrace - this place should not be in business. read more

Ambieance nice but music was mid for Santacon pls hire better DJ DJ playing music for 14 year olds

AVOID. Lots of better bars in the area. Literally served the weakest drinks that honestly might not have had any alcohol. Bouncer had us pay his personal Venmo and then at the front we were told they don't accept Venmo. Very scammy vibes don't waste your time here. read more

antisemitic security guard wouldn't let us in the bar!! told us to gtfo... we will not support a business that allows antisemitism

Drinks are overpriced. Nik's crispy tacos is saving you guys. Their food is really well priced, but you can't even get a pitcher of margaritas here unless it's a Tuesday. I would go here more often with groups of friends for dinner if the drink pricing matched the food pricing. read more

Not sure if I'd consider this a bar or a club but definitely had a great. We danced the night away and the drinks were really good. A bit pricey but it's SF so unfortunately that's the norm. But great vibe all around. Security was well staffed and professional. read more

Super enjoy time for Rockwell! Great Night, Great time and foods... Cocktails and more... Cheers! read more

I was drugged here last night. It is possible that the bartender was culpable due to the fact that there weren't many people in the bar when we were there at 10pm and no one came near us the entire time we were there. The management at this establishment should do a thorough check of their bartenders and the overall safety of the bar. It looks like this has happened to others here as well so I would avoid this place entirely. read more

A chic bar and lounge with simple yet elegant decor. The place is usually packed on Friday and Saturday nights with decently looking diverse crowds. Great place to grab a drink, hit the dance floor to boogie, or lounge around and mingle. Good vibes, music and atmosphere. Will definitely come back! read more

Amazing lounge/club with awesome decor and great drinks. Music was really good all night. We had two corner tables and had a fun night. Location is awesome. Will come back here. read more

Here for a Company Holiday Party, this place is nice and has a warm atmosphere to chill.

I normally don't post reviews and have honestly had bad experiences here including my phone getting stolen. Which honestly has no reflection on the institution, maybe the bouncers but how could they know...I lost my wallet here last weekend and just got it back today (6 days later bc they are only open 2 nights a week). Nothing was gone, including $50+ in cash. It's easy to bash on a place bc of bad experiences but after getting my Celine card case back with 2 cards, ID, and cash, I have a much different perspective. read more

Amazing spot... nice ambiance and decor! Great place to grab a drink!

Came here with a couple of my girlfriends. Venue is pretty nice with a large bar. There's a decent sized dance floor with hip-hop music. Good place to grab a drink, chill with friends and dance! read more

Stumbled upon this bar last weekend with my friends and we had a great time! Music was awesome. I loved how the DJ also plays music videos on this huge LED screen. The crowd and energy here was amazing. The bartenders were friendly. Will be back. read more

Great new spot with cool decor and good customer service ! No complaints yet but it is a new spot!

Put simply, the service, atmosphere, and drinks are all amazing. The environment is elegant yet hip, and the energy was fun. Definitely worthy of a return visit! read more

This newly remodeled venue is a great addition to the local nightlife! Pulsating beats and an LED wall creates a club atmosphere, but still feels at home in the neighborhood. Full bar keeps the drinks flowing! Lots of great seating as well, make sure to step in early.... read more
