SHECKY'S - 2006 Bar, Club & Lounge Guide:  "When your friends from home roll into town and they’re begging to go to Coyote Ugly to see girls dance on bars because they liked the movie, flex your "I’m a New Yorker Now" muscles, clue them in about the leather-clad bartenders over at H&H, and then throw a curveball and suggest the grittier, less touristy Red Rock West Saloon instead.  They’ll ooh, aah, and ogle at the bar occasionally being set ablaze by the sassy female bartenders and the wannabe models in the crowd covertly sipping mixed drinks.  The girls behind, under, and on top of the bar are not only fire-breathing and sexy, they have legitimate drink-mixing abilities; so order up, steal a glance at their curves, and enjoy a drink made with surprising aplomb."

TONY 2003 Eating and Drinking Guide: "Swarms of off-duty cops and firefighters come to this anything goes biker bar to unwind and watch barely clad female servers climb onto the bar to do what loyal patrons call the "water dance". It’s true: Aworking class hero is something to be."

Zagat's 2002/2003: "Bikers, beer, and babes" collide at this "wild" West Chelsea "free-for-all" that’s "not for the faint at heart" - "it could take a year to recover" from one night of partying here"....

Murphguide.com:: "This is the friendliest most entertaining best priced bar in NYC.The bartenders are gorgeous fun and efficient... When you go to RR you’re going for the fun, entertaining atmosphere... I have to give this barall tens. This is the best bar I have ever been to. I’ve been over seas and I have never had this much fun. God Bless the GIRLS..."

Citysearch.com: "The place has no pretensions and can’t afford any. It feels like theNew York bar most likely to go unnoticed were it deposited in inner Alabama."

10Best Destination Guides:: "This New York saloon attracts a good mix of Harley-riders and downtown executives, who somehow manage to coexist without too much friction.The jukebox here usually spins out all of your down-home favorites, from Hank, Jr. and Lynyrd Skynyrd to David Allen Coe and Molly Hatchet. Best of all are the beautiful barhops, who frequently climb on the bar to show everybody how to dance properly."

nightguide.com: "Pull yourself away and spent at the Red Rock, is the top bar in town."

New York City Bartenders & Patrons -- nycbp.com: "No doubt about it. This Chelsea beer ’n’ whiskey roadhouse -- equal parts outlaw biker bar and country dance saloon -- is like no otherplace in New York that tries the Girls/Charlie Daniels/Clogging theme. The people that work there are the best. An evening spent at the RedRock is like a night spent with a good book: you have to pull yourself away."
