The House of Rock

I have mixed feelings about house of rock -  i LOVE the bands and the acts that they bring in, which is why i go there pretty frequently... average prices for drinks, bar staff are decent... down sides?  there is seriously never any seating for shows, and the acoustics are a little harsh on the ears for a venue that plays music all the time... overall i'm a big fan tho!

Although I grew up in Corpus Christi, I had never been to The House of Rock.  I'm more of a martini bar kind of girl, but my little brother digs this place and has played a couple of shows here so I was down.  Definitely a dive bar, but a very cool space.  Several different stages with different musical offerings.  Also, several bars so you never have to wait long for a cocktail.  I was blown away by the drink prices!  $10 bought me a 7&7 and a Ketel One on the rocks.  WOW!  For drink prices like that maybe I should kiss Austin goodbye?  I'll definitely be back!

I'm really torn on this place, I've only been there once but I will let you decide. My band played there back a couple of years ago. The venue itself is nice. The staff was okay, a little bit of "I'm more rock than you" attitude but I can deal with that. This place definitely reeks of more of a "metal" music bar and we didn't quite fit the bill. A lot of machismo vibe in the room from the crowd as well. However, the size of the venue was perfect. The sound was good and the 2 seperate bars were perfectly placed so I can't give this place a negative review. Maybe, the next time i'm in Corpus, I'll give this place a second try.
