On the Rocks

I didn’t eat any food here so I cannot speak on the food. However, I had a great time. We randomly chose this place to find a couple of drinks without much expectation. The bar area was sort of crowded, but everyone was polite for the most part. Jay and the other kind lady (don’t know her name) did an amazing job running everything between Jay serving everyone & her getting everyone’s song requests in for karaoke. Very diverse group of people there which was cool. The drinks were not too expensive & Jay served the perfect amount. I decided to get up there & sing. It was a great time. Go see Jay & the DJ, they’re awesome.

We ordered the share option ($40) and wings! Main dish was ok but the wings were so dry! The lady was very friendly and it was quite a nice place to have dinner and have a glass of wine!

My friends and I made a reservation a fun night out and unfortunately left feeling quite upset. Upon arriving we ordered some drinks and food for the table, which I will say they were brought fast and the food was good. However, in less than an hour of being there the owner was incredibly rude, essentially berating us to leave because we hadn’t “ordered enough”. It wasn’t even 9pm and the place was half empty and yet he had come to us complaining that he was turning down large groups because we were “not making him money”. It feels as though the owner does not actually care about the satisfaction of his customers and only how much money he makes at the end of the night which I could understand, however maybe if we had stayed longer than an hour and weren’t told off, we would have spent more money. If you want an enjoyable night where you can have fun I highly recommend going somewhere else.

I've been here a few times and decided to celebrate my 28th birthday here and I'm so glad that I did! The crowd is always fun, the staff are nice and attentive, and where else can you eat wonton noodle soup, take a tequila shot, and scream some classic karaoke tunes all at the same time? This is a hidden gem. I can't wait to come back! Shout out to Jay and the staff!!

The food was great and service was wonderful! Big portions , sizzling hot and delicious. Tap beer was cold in huge glasses. Really a nice surprise. Definitely will return.

Awesome hidden gem in the area, definitely a must visit. Wings were amazing especially the piri piri wings were delicious. Poutine can be better. I would definitely recommend and visit again. Server was attentive and friendly.

Haven’t been this happy since stepping into a dive bar like On the Rocks. At first, was worried about the food and how mediocre it might be given how the menu looked but never judge a book by its cover because the food and drinks were pretty damn good. Highly recommend the Yom Yum fried rice with chicken, they put an egg on top and I devoured that dish in no time. Just the right amount of spicy and the chicken was moist! I wasn’t expecting the food to be so good honestly. The best part of On the Rocks is the karaoke, you find a song on their website (karaoke menu) and write the artist and the song on a piece of paper. Give it to the guy at the bar and you’ll be in queue to sing the so song! Songs post-2010 most likely won’t be available as their song database is quite dated. Otherwise, still a good time! Yesterday, the whole crowd was amazing, one of very last songs was Sweet Caroline and we all hugged and danced altogether. I love Torontonians!!!

I have to say that it was a very good experience for us. The place is nice and clean, food is really good and tasty, and they have some good specials. Our server Nina did an amazing job. We loved their cranberry Cocktail and all the seafood dishes … will recommend to everyone try at least once on the rock you guys really rocked!
