Save yourself the time, money, & agony

by AndreaE

Oh my gosh... where do I begin? My whole experience with the folks at " m inc" has been awful to say the least. I recently threw a party for my husband at Rockbar and had Mezcal "cater" some appetizers for my guests. Based on my experiences in the past I was expecting a quality result. BOY WAS I WRONG! When I arrived and saw what was passed off as food I was dumbfounded. I had two cold trays of soggy "quesadillas" and one bowl of chips and guac to feed 30 people (And if I tell you how much they charged me per person you would be dumbfounded too!) Though I should have seen the writing on the wall as the "planning" process left a lot to be desired. From the beginning I could not lock down specifics from the girl that apparently m inc has employed as their key contact for events/catering. Not only did I not receive what we had agreed on in writing but there was a complete lack of follow-up on her part.

To say the least I DO NOT recommend using the folks at m inc for ANY of your event planning/catering needs!! Not only was my food cold & soggy I was rushed out of the area that I "reserved" at Rockbar... this was after purchasing 2 bottles of Mad Dog for what was to be their "bottle service" the only service I got out of the folks over there was a swift kick in the backside as they shooed my out the door because they told me they were expecting 300-400 people for the evening! Being good natured and noticing that my friends were having a good time on the dancefloor I allowed to them the space.. I can tell you I left at 1:00 a.m. and the space that I previously occupied was never used. Seesh!

• Cons: See Details!

Everything you've heard is true and this a great alternative to the dt and lodo scene of a club/bar that plays great muzik and not just top 40 garbage...

RockBar is the Radest bar in denver, PERIOD.... Sick ACEE Dj's that spin metal to gangsta rap and everything inbetween. Great Drinks (no weak poors) and even better people watching. So get a Mickeyz tall boy and get on the dance !!!flO!!!

• Pros: atmosphere
• Cons: service at times...

Normally pretty cool scene but could do without the 'tude

by blusbaby13

Rockbar is a cool place to get away from the same ole Denver scene, especially the downtown scene, and has been a recent fav to drop in on the weekends. There is a nice electic group of people and I have thoroughly enjoyed the music and drinks. It's got a great dive feel, cool retro-arcade games you played as a kid in your local pizza joint, and did I mention the music?

Sadly, me and a crew went up here last week after dining out for Project Angel Flight. At the restaraunt, they gave us these flyers for Rock bar for a 1/2 price drink. We weren't planning on going out, but as Rockbar is a fav, & they seemed to be participating in the event, we'd decided to go. I ordered a double & was told that they wouldn't honor the coupon, which was fine, except that I got the biggest 'tude from the Celo-looking bartender about it straight off the bat once I handed him the coupon. He continued to lip at me about it & all I said was, "That's fine. what do I owe you?" After I paid him, I told him that he looked like Celo, and he lipped at me more. I realize Rockbar is supposed to have a bit edgy feel about it, but if you are participating in a fundraiser event, is it really necessary to be a righteous @#$ to your patrons, even when there is no reason for it to begin with? Why be rude to your customers when you have a practically empty bar?

Overall, the other bartenders & staff I have encountered there are cool, but it really left a sour note with me that this particular one was so unnecessarily rude. Hopefully if you go, this guy won't be there.

• Pros: Music and drinks; good location for bar hopping
• Cons: Unecessary attitude from some of the bartenders
