Artists usually hang out in the side bar before they play-- if you want to rub elbows, enter through the door all the way to the left.

You dig epic brass, big harmonies and massive beards? Check out Jesus on the Main Line on 12/4.

A really great music venue! Sound is most balanced upstairs, so pour your drink in a plastic cup, and head on up!

In 2011 Daniel Glover aka Childish Gambino, took the stage at Rockwood for a performance that left the audience begging for more. Watch here on the Q! Read more

If the stages are too crowded, go to the next door Stage Zero bar and watch the performances on TV with zero risk of claustrophobia.
MarthaJuly 10, 2016
tiny venue with a few different rooms.
Teresa CenDecember 24, 2016
Venue is very small. 10%-15% of the people will get seats and the rest will have to stand.
Amy CummingsMay 30, 2017
Live music. Chill vibes.
Jessica DelfinoFebruary 24, 2012
If you arrive early, you will have to stand in line in the cold while people call you names. If you arrive on time, same thing.
Vic C.August 11, 2014
