On the Rocks

Your straightforward city bar, sitting in the alluring Florence AL area, off Court St.Fried classics come in v. nicely-See their Jalapeño Cheese Sticks, Onion Rings, or Creamy Spinach Dip; If trying to lose weight, Stay away.Staff on it and v Kind helpful; Know their way round drink menu ;)Let u do ur own thing; v available for any needed orders or requests.4 Wide-Screens on to zone out if needed.Not a family or date night place so set expectations ;)Most clientele appear as local regulars.

I've been coming to On The Rocks for years with friends, family, and colleagues, and always have a pleasant experience. Friendly and skilled bartenders serving ice cold beer, good burgers and nachos, and a welcoming southern "dive" atmosphere.

Great local food and establishment. Excellent bar service and "bar food" that is way better than most restaurants. Always a go to while in Florence.

Went this past Friday, great live band, clientele and wait staff. Beer was ICE COLD and yummy.Had a great time here. Fun! Highly recommended.Service = AFood = B+Ambiance = A

It's a bar.Scatter some over-testosteroned wanna-be frat boys (UNA has fraternities?!? What's the point?) and sprinkle in some semi-hot 4" tall waitresses. Throw in a copper-plated serving bar and three beautiful flatscreen TVs all showing ESPN.Just a pinch of old town drunk on a stool.A few more college dudes with their polo collars turned up and "Alabama" hats on.Garnish with a 50 year old couple sipping beers at a table, pretending to be 20 and Jimmy Buffett. Stir while the wait staff flirts with each other.Serve piping hot over the smell of cigarettes.SERVICE: Mixed reviews, but mostly good. The greetings at the door usually don't happen until you're finding your own seat. Turns out she was flirting with the guys in the kitchen while you were deciding to seat yourself.Once you get to a table, I've always had EXCELLENT service. I have to remind myself this is a bar/restaurant. The waiters and waitresses really take care of you. Fast food delivery to the table, and good check-back service.FOOD: Not your typical bar food. Yes, it's mostly greasy-fried comfort food, but there are some stunningly surprising items on the menu:Grilled Mahi MahiBlackened Caesar SaladMy personal favorite is the chicken tenders with macaroni and cheese and french fries. The mac and cheese is very good.PRICE:I've found their prices very reasonable, and to combine that with the good service, it's a good deal.The fact that they get you in and out quickly scores points with me.Come for the food, stay for the drinks.

While attending college at UNA, I was always a fan of On the Rocks. It was one of the few bars in the Shoals area where you could go, have a good time and actually feel safe. The bartenders are great and the music is more often than not, really good. In college, all the tubas would go after practice to enjoy their happy hour special of half price appetizers and discounted drinks. Although they don't have that awesome special anymore, the food is definitely still worth the price. I love OTR and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Shoals area.

Went to On the Rocks on Black Friday in the afternoon. Our party of 6 was the only table on the top deck. Service was really bad but the girl was new so we tried to give her a free pass. 1 Star for the service and 4 stars on the food. My burger was cooked to perfection and tasted great. My only issue was the fact that they made me pay more for fries vs chips. A burger and fries is pretty much a standard option so I shouldn't have to pay more. Also, my father in-law's nachos came out 10 minutes after everyone else was served. He was sitting there watching everyone else eat. Not very fun!I would suggest that management train their wait staff and not just throw them on duty. Our waitress acted like we were the first table she'd ever waited on. She didn't have much help and that is the restaurants fault. Shame on them!

Great music venue in town. Great bartenders and an awesome selection. Know what you want when you're walking if I the bar and it makes irbeasier

I love OTR great place to hang out with friends or anyone you meet there friendly peps there. Great atmosphere & cool place to hang out.

I love the atmosphere at OTR but every time I go this one bartender Erica is actually the worst person I've ever met. She hates women from what I can tell. She almost gave my friend a concussion because we were taking too long to 'use the bathroom' so she busted the door open shoving and spilling all of us everywhere. Never had a positive experience with her. Everyone else is a doll. Would be 4 stars if she wasn't an employee.
