About Us

Whiskey. Beer. Burgers. We’re living proof that the timeless adage of ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’ rings true. It’s been a helluva ride since we opened in 2008! We opened that summer after building the place out from scratch, expanded two years later, renovated the joint entirely in 2014, had a huge fire after Valentine’s Day 2017, rebuilt it again, and then survived a pandemic. And we’re ready for whatever comes next! Throughout it all, we’ve stayed true to what we are. A spot for the neighborhood with great food, local beers, a huge whiskey list and customer service that makes you feel like you’re part of the family. Come see for yourself!

When it comes to a reliable neighborhood pub, Rocks is as good as it gets. Even if it’s a busy Friday night, you can always find a seat, the service is always friendly, fast, and helpful, and on top of it all, the food and drink is great!

My boyfriend and I stop in here often to grab dinner and drinks. We have decided they definitely have the best burgers and French Onion soup around, and my bf loves their whiskey specials. I appreciate their great selection of beer and wines.
Also, any place that offers a variety of fries: sweet potato, curly, and tots to name a few, has my love.
Once we even brought his 4-year-old daughter with, and they were super accommodating.

I’m definitely going to want to hit up weekend brunch here soon, and order a pitcher of Mimosas 🙂

Love the burgers at this place. Very good bar food in Lakeview.

Mac & cheese wedges are what I usually like to eat here followed by a buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. Washed with a featured draft.

But, honestly, if you don’t have any health risks, go for the Leroy Brown. It’s your app and meal in one sandwich…they load on mac & cheese, top it with chortle bbq pulled pork, onion strings on texas toast with cheddar & provolone cheeses. It comes with your choice of a side (sweet potato fries). Wash it down with their featured draft

Really excellent burgers and the mac n cheese bites are delicious. I always have good service even when they are really busy on weekends. The patio is nice when it is warm out. They always have good beers on draft and an overall good selection. Their brunch is also really good and they have big mimosa pitchers for really cheap.

Always have loved their dinners. Especially the buffalo chicken wrap. It is excellent!

-I am reviewing their breakfast. Honestly, it was really good. I order the Early Morning Riser Sliders. The way all the ingredients blend together is amazing. Egg was perfect, the creamed kale had just enough crisp, and the CHORIZO here is excellent. Big piece on each sandwich. These are a must for a Sunday morning!

Overall very pleased with Rocks in Lakeview- Every time I have come here the service is excellent, the food is always on point, and the drinks are always made excellent! Staff is super friendly too, hard to come by these days.

Stop in, you won’t be disappointed!
