Do you serve food..?
We don't currently serve food here at On the Rocks, we aim to dedicate all our efforts into providing amazing cocktails and entertainment.
However, we do have a BYO food policy. Here at On the Rocks, you are more than welcome to bring your own food and eat it in our outside areas. As long as you buy your drinks from us and tidy up any food mess after yourselves.
But just be aware, we have no cutlery or dinnerware to provide as we aren't a food venue.

Do you only serve cocktails...?
Although we do specialise in cocktails, and we are a cocktail bar, this isn't all that we offer. We have an extensive range of spirits, from whiskeys to gins, and a selection of Champagnes, prosecco and wines.
Here at On the Rocks, we have a wide range of soft and non-alcoholic drinks on offer, including hot drinks at certain times of the day.
We also have 10 products on draft, including Guinness, Cider, lagers and IPA/Keg Ale.

Are children and pets allowed..?
As a venue, we do cater specifically for adults. However, on Sundays to Thursdays children are welcome til 8pm, and Fridays until 7pm. Children would however have to stay sat with their families, and be supervised at all times. However, Most Saturdays, due to our karaoke afternoons, children aren't permitted after 3pm. This is due to the "club like" environment we create, which isn't child appropriate.
Regarding pets, they are welcome in the outside areas. However, they must remain on leads or in carriers and securely with their families for the duration of their visit. Both our policies regarding Children and Pets are to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all our guests.
​
The policies regarding Children and Dogs do change seasonally, or even when special events are held, so please email in advance or check with a manager at the bar on the day.
