The Rock

Nice location and a pretty solid place to get a bite to eat.
The customer service is one of the best points of THE ROCK. I thought that Jimmy, the assistant manager, was one of the pillars of this place. Yet even with the departure of Jimmy (he really had a great personality for this line of work) things are still solid.
Vince, the manager has done a good job putting together a sold place.
Friendly environment, DJs and hosted events, and the food is not bad.
Truth be told, as far as Australian places go I think something is a bit… off or lacking. It seems more like a really cool bar with a tinge or hint of Australia. The menu has Australian items (i.e. crocodile nuggets) and there is Australian stuff in the place.
However as opposed to it being an «Australian bar» it looks more like your local pub doing «Australian night» or having an Australian themed event.
THE ROCK in Sannomiya strikes me as more of a fusion bar or a place with Australia being the dominant theme rather than it being a true «Australian bar.»
This is simply my opinion.
Moreover instead of looking at it for what it is not, or what may be lacking, if we take it for what it is… a nice place to grab a bite and enjoy the evening… then you should have no problem.
In the end, if you are in or around the Sannomiya area check out THE ROCK.
Pleasant and memorable staff, solid music events and nice TVs to take in a game.
All in all… a real solid spot… solid as a rock ;-)

It was a cool atmosphere, I liked how there was a DJ and they played awesome music! We had the crocodile nuggets which were so delicious! Also the chicken quesadillas were sooo good also :) next time I’m planning on trying the kangaroo burger!
