ONE OF THE BEST VENUES
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by LILY on Feb. 1, 2012
I CAN HONESTLY SAY AFTER GOING THIS PASSED SATURDAY FOR ROCKWOODS LADIES NIGHT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST MORE CLASSIER CLUBS. THE DECOR IS FOR AN OLDER CROWD AND ATTRACTS JUST THAT ON A SATURDAY. THANK GOD ITS ON MERCER AFTER TURNING 21 I CAN NOT GO CLUBBING ON RICHMOND ANYMORE. RICHMOND IS INFESTED WITH KIDS. ROCKWOOD IS MY NEWEST SPOT AND THE ONLY CLUB I GO TO DOWNTOWN BECAUSE ITS NOT IN THE RICHMOND AREA. I ALSO FREQUENT ANOTHER CLUB IN MISSISSAUGA WHEN I DONT FEEL LIKE GOING DOWNTOWN. ONLY THOSE 2 I GO TO. ROCKWOOD ONLY IF I DO THE DOWTOWN SCENE.

Great Birthday!
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Anna on Jan. 28, 2012
Thankyou Rockwood for making my birthday celebration memorable. My friends and I had a great time. I had been to Rockwood before on a Saturday and also had a great time but didnt know that their Friday nights were just as fun! I booked a birthday package which ended up being good because of inexpensive bottles and everyone had put in for the booth also so it worked out. The vibe was good on both floors and busy. We had a booth upstairs on the wood floor and they played awsome house music. I was also really impressed with the crowd. On Fridays you would expect more of a younger clientel but that wasnt the case, it was a mix. Usually you only see that on Saturday nights. Overall I was hesitant on booking here because of the reviews and was scared that my friends wouldnt like the club, but I would recommend Rockwood for everyone. I had such a good time and I know my friends did to. I also want to thank the promoters from that night they hooked me up with a limo bus, and security outside was helpful in getting us all in because we were a big group.

HORRIBLE
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Tina on Jan. 25, 2012
If you're looking to be treated with even an ounce of respect, SKIP THIS PLACE! I truly have no idea how this club is still open. The bouncers are absolutely disgusting, treating every patron like dirt. If these bouncers hate their jobs and their customers so much they should quit.
$20 for cover to be treated like I'm being done some big favour by being allowed to enter the club? Everyone in that club line is a customer, and the bouncers acted like we were the ones inconveinencing them by simply being there and making them have to do their jobs. And while waiting in line I heard them make rude remarks to several females, and deny entry to many people for "being too drunk" when they were VERY CLEARLY coherent and sober.
Club was boring with dull music, lame crowd, and over priced practically alcohol free drinks. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY -

Legit
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Tuan on Dec. 21, 2011
So me and my boys had been planning to come back to rockwood for a while now ever since they had the dj MKUTz play, hes sick. We went this passed saturday and the club was legit. Hands down Dj Flash in the rock level gets it poppin. They set us up with bottleservice at the door cause we didnt pre book bottleservice or anything. They got mostly all of us in for free and the rest paid something like 10 buks, nothing. The place was packed. I enjoyed the party and the crowd was good lookin. Overall we had an aight night. No hassel at the door when we asked for bottleservice and the servers were always ontop of us. Maybe cause we spent some mucho dalla lol. I would go back simply and plainly for the muzik and the crowd, it was bumpin.

Meht club, HORRIBLE BOUNCERS
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Lily on Dec. 17, 2011
Went to this club recently for a best friends birthday, and doubt we will ever return. First of all when we got there the bouncer told me I was too drunk to come in; and I was no where near drunk. I'm the first to admit when I've had too much to drink and when I deserve it, but I was in no way stumbling, slurring, or anything. My friends told me later its because I was acting too friendly, so apparently being friendly to a bouncer gets you kicked out these days. So the bouncer says "come back in an hour", I left the line and said "wow really?" and he rudely replies "that's what you get for predrinking" (sorry I had a glass of wine before coming here??? Doubt I'm the only one in line with wine on my breath). So I come back in an hour, completely sober, and this same power tripping bouncer proceeds to make me repeat every detail on my I.D., and then makes me walk to a bike rack and back to prove I'm sober, and he laughed with the other bouncer while I did this. I've been to almost every club in Toronto at least once, and this is hands down the rudest staff I have ever seen, and I have never been treated that disrespectfully at any other club in my life, If it hadn't been my friends birthday I would have left right then. There were people in line very drunk but for some reason I was singled out all night.
The club itself was just alright, music was basic house music, dance floor on the Rock floor was a little small and crowded. But even if this club was amazing, the hassle I faced getting in makes it never worth going to again. Overpriced for a club with nothing special, with rude and power tripping bouncers who will ruin your night (and your dignity!) when you've done nothing wrong. -

AMAZING CLUB!!!
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by courtney on Nov. 7, 2011
Went to Rockwood this passed Saturday Nov 5th. Had an amzing time with my girlfriends. They have free cover before 11 on the guestlist so everyone walked in free!!! When we got there we ended up buying a bottle at the bar. We got a premium bottle for under 200 dollars, it was great! The staff was friendly and very helpful on the phone when i called a week prior for guestlist. I would highly recommend this club, had a fantastic time and cant wait to celebrate my birthday next month. 5 STARS PLUS!!!

If it were possible, i would put 0 stars.

AWFUL club. Was on guestlist, arrived 30 minutes early and obviously they held the line up until 11 so that we had to pay cover. Went in the club, stayed an hour until the bouncer decided my girl friend was "too drunk" when clearly she was fine. They had absolutely no reason to kick her out, she was causing no trouble whatsover and the sad part was....she was basically sober. We aren't even the type of girls to start shit at a club, and no club has ever kicked us out or mistreated us this way. Also, once we went outside there was a line up guys who got kicked out as well for being "too drunk" when they were basically sober.....The bouncers were rude and unreasonable, as well as the owner....they wouldn't even give back her jacket, so she was basically out on the street freezing. The owner is a greedy bastard, so if you want to waste your time and money you should go here. Otherwise NEVER go there, if you do....you were warned.

Bouncers on a powertrip. Use them to pay off law school debt.
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Ian on Oct. 29, 2011
So we get bottle service on my girlfriend's birthday. She gets kicked out for being drunk, I leave with her to make sure she is ok.
We were standing on the sidewalk on the opposite street from the club.
There is a hotel there, and the doorman there tells us to leave.
We stand on the side of the road inform him that, I am a law student and the road is public property. And continue standing there as we wait for our friends.
The hotel guy gives us a talks a bit of smack. But backs off when I tell him if he touches me I will sue and his employer for assault.
All of a sudden these two big black Rockwood bouncers come across the street and tell us to leave the area.
I inform him that its public property and will call the cops. I turn on my iphone to record the altercation.
He proceeds to push me and I scrape my knee. Just won a 5k judgement from the company that owns rockwood in small claims court.
Using it to pay off my student debt. :) -
Worst night Ever!
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Anonymous on Oct. 8, 2011
I just had my birthday at rockwood nightclub last night and it was the worst club ever! DO NOT EVER GO THERE, I REPEAT DO NOT STEP FOOT IN THIS CLUB. Unless you want a bad time and rude bouncers. They literally threw me and my friends out when we were completely sober. We had only been in there for about 30 mins and had bottle service. As soon as we paid them they decided to kick us out. So basically they just stole our money and tried to say we did something wrong when we didnt even get to have one full drink. Also the male black bouncer proceeded to say that he was going to" break my arm" on my own birthday when i was sober and not doing anything but trying to have a good time. BE WARNED AND NEVER GO THERE UNLESS YOU WANT AN ASSAULT ATTACK FROM THIS BOUNCER!!!!!!

Bimbos write these comments
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by BimboBuster on Aug. 15, 2011
Why is every club "the worst club" according to some air head bimbos on this website? Yes, you got too drunk, endangered your own health and the safety of others then blamed everyone else.... if you can't party without throwing a fit then please do everyone a favor and stay home.

WORST CLUB EVERRRRRR
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Christina on Aug. 4, 2011
It would take a novel to explain how horrible and poorly run this place really is...
*called ahead to get on the guestlist because we were taking a limo there for a big celebration but still waited over an hour in line when we were there ON TIME.
* rude rude staff
*overpriced WARM drinks!
*head strong bouncers kicked some of my friends out over nothing even though there were obvious very drunk people there who did need to be kicked out.
*the rooftop level had no music (?)
*they blocked an emergency exit with a dumpster (illegal)
*I got a bottle broken over me and got cut up really bad. Then was told by the staff that each bandaid was $2.00!!! Are you kidding me? They are making profit off of first aid (illegal)
All in all please save your money/time/sanity. There are much better places out there whose staff respects you not only as a patron but as a human being! -
I would recommend anyone to go there.

I have never ever experienced such bad customer service in my life. I went there for my birthday on July 30th, booked a booth with bottle service. At one point a bouncer came over and yelled at us ( to be honest it was our fault, but his yelling was excessive and lasted about two minutes for a simple mistake that we apologized for) For the rest of the evening that same bouncer was constantly passing our booth and hovering over us. He kicked out two of my guests which flew all the way from Vancouver for my birthday. He accused them of being drunk, when intact they were trying to reason with him that it is not the case. He was unwilling to compromise, and/or hear the other side of the story and used excessive yelling ( my guest were willing to be escorted but not yelled at or disrespected and not valued as a client) Also, there was no objection when a drunk and uncoordinated man entered our booth, when it was so obvious that he was intoxicated beyond regular limits. Also one of the female photographers sat down at our booth --uninvited-- and took a drag of our sheesha. There was no boundary between client and employee at that point. The music wasn't all that great. All in all it was not
worth $400. -
Bad Birthday
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Kitters on Jul. 23, 2011
I would NOT recommend Rockwood for anyone who enjoys good music and timely service. For one thing, we arrived on time, yet had to wait in line for an hour before being considered let in. Whatever problems they were having, that was not of our concern, we should not have waited that long.
Also, the music was terrible. Whatever DJ they have, they should fire.
Finally, who serves WARM BEER? That's right, cheapos. And the bartender had an attitude about it. Im not paying 6 bucks for a warm beer that I cant even finish because it tastes like ass.
In the end, we waited an hour to get in, stayed for 30 min, and found another establishment. Luckily we didn't pay cover, because 20 bucks wouldn't have been worth it. -

Great place, great music, lots of hot guys ;) I went there with my girls a week ago and I have to say it really was great!
I was skeptical about the reviews for a bit, them ranging from poor to great, and I couldn't decide for a while. But sure, if you expect the place to be perfect, obviously things will be wrong with it.
The staff was okay, not overly nice, just okay. The bouncers let us through just fine as well. We didn't wait long at all.
The Djs were amazzinnggg! You can tell they know what they are doing. Go there on a Monday when drinks are 3.50!
Overall, great experience, nice decor and good music.
Average staff. Good priced drinks. -
Not Impressed!
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Brittany on Jun. 9, 2011
After hearing and reading great reviews about rockwood my friends and I decided to head there for my birthday. I had ordered bottle service and the woman that set me up was very helpful. However, the bouncers at the club are extremely rude. My boyfriend was accused of throwing up in the washroom by the washroom staff who then called the bouncer to have him kicked out. This happened literally 20 mins after arriving at the club we had not even been served our bottles yet. Thankfully we were able to convince the head bouncer that he had clearly not been throwing up in the washroom. After that however, there were bouncers watching my group of friends for the rest of the night. They also kicked out three of my friends for no apparent reason. The bouncers clearly have no respect for the clientele in the club. On a side note the club's crowd gets significantly smaller after 2 am. Also this happened on a Friday night.

Had a great experience here! I went on a Saturday with a few girlfriends and we had a blast. We only waited in line for about 5 minutes, and since we were on the guestlist, we didn't have to pay cover. The venue is very nice inside, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The rooftop bar wasn't open when we arrived, but was opened later in the evening. The music and energy at Rockwood was fantastic; I will definitely be returning in the near future.

Awful
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Amy Pound on Mar. 13, 2011
This establishment is a terrible place to go. All the staff are very rude. Many people get kicked out for no reason. Apparently paying $400 fort bottles is not enough to let you have access to the floor these bottles are on. I will never return under any circumstances. Would not want to support a bar run so poorly.

Amazing Party
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by christina on Feb. 21, 2011
Me and my girls went to Rockwood this past friday and had a blast. Party was good, music on each floor was good and best of all the crowd is very stylish which you won't find at most clubs. Drink prices were affordable and didnt cost an arm and a leg. If your looking for a good friday night party I would recommend this place ill be making my way back soon. Security is also nice which is also hard to find downtown. If you do go make sure you arrive early as it gets busy early but its worth the wait. Also thanks to Mike who hooked us up. If you end up going to Rockwood try booking threw him for the hook up we called at 1030 and he hooked us up quick think his number is 4166550997 :) see u soon rockwood

Meh, not impressed.
Submitted for Rockwood Nightclub by Sarah on Nov. 7, 2010
I had booked bottle service, guestlist and obviously a booth over the phone with the club itself and the women who picked up didn't have a clue what she was doing, I had to ASK her for prices and information about what was included. We got there at 11 and stood in the "guestlist" line for thirty minutes. Originally the price was $270 for the bottles and it included 6 free covers and 6 reduced, but by the time we were at the front of the line we were told that sorry, everyone needs to pay cover and the price just went up to $390. Absolutely ridiculous and the manager didn't seem to give a crap because she just took our money and left us to stand there for another 10 minutes without a word. Once we were in (40 mins later) our booth was too small for the party of 10 that we had and we were jammed up next to the DJ. The booth beside us thankfully left early and we were able to spread out but then the PROMOTERS were coming and sitting in our booth without letting us know. I'm sorry, but if I'm ever going to pay close to $400 I'm going somewhere else because the employees there were unbelievable. I had a better time at Lot 332. The music was great, DJ was friendly, but I couldn't stand the staff.
