Although it’s officially a bar and restaurant rather than a club, Rock Bottom only really comes alive as other bars kick out. RBC pulls in an impressive crowd with its proven blend of mixed drinks and a resident DJ and live band, who pump out the crowd-pleasers until closing time. There’s even an in-house shawarma joint for dancers with the munchies.

I can see a lot of negative comments on here, but I've had nothing but good experience whenever I was there. I go there for food, their steaks are pretty good. The price is a bit on the higher side, but if you don't want to pay for a decent meal, go to McDonalds.

The servers are awesome, we have our favorite one and always ask to be seated in her area. Never had any problem with the bouncers either.

I like the atmosphere of an American dive bar, and will go there again and again.

Tonite is the karaoke nite, so, yeah, I'll be there for sure.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had. The minute I reached this bar, the bouncer wouldn't let me in, stating that I was drunk when I had just gotten there from being asleep all day.

After the big fight that followed, someone I knew happened to be there and managed to let me in. (that didn't make the bouncer very happy).

Hesitant, I went in and discovered that even the services of the waiters and waitresses were terrible. It took forever to wave anyone over and the attitude they kept throwing about was simply annoying.

Not a good experience at all.

went to this place with a group of my friends for a birthday, and i mean like 30 ppl, so the ambience was good surrounded by friends and we had a good time. got overcharged by mistake, but didnt have to pay. we made friends with the waiters and they were very nice and friendly altho it was a little bit of a wait before we got anything we ordered. had to remind them for a couple things. all in all it was a decent evening, wouldnt mind hosting an event there myself

This place tries for the American dive bar feel and succeeds, with some obscure vintage signs you'd be hard pressed to find in a lot of places (I tried to buy the Burma Shave sign off the wall, they weren't selling). Had a few beers at the bar on a Thursday at about 11, service was fast and attentive, though at the door there were 2 people working, one said 'members only, sorry', the other stopped me as I walked away and said 'Come on in!', so it seems that they have some BS policy to filter people out at the door that isn't equally applied. All in all its a decent place and the cover band that was playing was pretty good, so it made for an enjoyable night.

There is a high level of discrimination in that place. i went in before my friends and they let me in i guess because i was white. when my fillipino friends came in, even though they looked decent and well dressed they would not let them in blaming them on the lack of membership. i did not have one. i have head this from many people before and seen it happen in from of me. this is not right, they are legalizing descrimination

virtual cattle farm. waitresses fall over themselves for the Navy guys. They all try to marry for a green card. the reputation is that if you can't bed a waitress... you can't bed anyone! hygiene is far from code and the managers only want to know you if you spend enough money there. it's just a cattle farm, there are better places to pay for a drink but lets face it... we all just go there for the girls?

Been visiting rock bottom for more than 6 years now and I never had a disappointment until yesterday.
My first disappointment was the prices of the steaks. 155 AED for a highway cruiser instead of the 85 AED I paid normally. (more than I pay in Amsterdam)
After checking the other dishes, I concluded that the prices have almost doubled.
The Heineken they served was spoiled, no bread as appetizer, no complementary wine as usual and the meat was bad, so bad that we returned it.
It was my favorite place, unfortunately it seems they changed the policy after so many years of maintaining their good quality standard.
Hope it will become my favorite place again soon…………….

Since the moment I set foot there for the first time, i was hooked....this place is awesome. The bartenders are some of the most friendly ones I have ever came across. The food is great, but the greatest is the vibe. ,That place rocks!!!!! The ppl that goes there could not give sh#$%#t about pretence....they are all there to enjoy a night out. And no better place to do it than at RB!!!
