“ Had a great time! A mix up with our tickets for the show was handled amazingly. All the girls working were friendly and so helpful. Despite the 5-hour drive, I would definitely return! ”
“ Kind and patient service. They took their time explaining all of the products in detail. The cake was excellent and the drink was good. I normally don’t like infused drinks but with this one the taste was good and effective ”
“ Great place service is always a pleasure. Freshly baked goods everyday although it's not a regular bakery it's manly all delta 8 and 9 products so don't be fooled but still a great experience. ”
“ **5-Star Review for District Bar and Grill – A Must-Visit in Downtown Rockford!** I absolutely *love* District Bar and Grill in downtown Rockford, IL! From the amazing food to the awesome atmosphere, this place has it all. The **fried ravioli** is an absolute must-try—crispy on the outside, perfectly cheesy on the inside, and served with a delicious marinara sauce. Paired with an ice-cold **Corona**, it was the perfect combo! The menu has so many great options, but this appetizer stole the show for me. What really sets District apart is the **rock and roll vibe**. The **"Wall of Fame"** in the back is incredible—covered with signed guitars and photos from diverse bands that have played here. It’s such a cool touch that adds personality and history to the place. You can tell this spot has real love for music and good times. The service was friendly, the drinks were cold, and the energy was just right—whether you're stopping by for happy hour, dinner, or late-night fun. **Highly recommend** District Bar and Grill for great food, great drinks, and an unbeatable atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back! **** ”
“ They have the best chef ever the food is simply amazing!!!!!!The waiter was great as always ”
“ The acoustics in this place are unrivaled by any other bar around. Whatever the venue is, the sound system holds up to with some amazing sound quality. They also have a large private banquet room with a projector that has its own private bathrooms. Also has a green room with arcade. Plus a state of the art juke box. Amazing place with lots of fun. ”
“ To start, the general atmosphere was very inviting! We didn’t eat here since they don’t serve food until 4:00 pm. We did, however, have a drink and purchased a couple of jars of gummies. Our server, ( I didn’t catch her name)) and the owner we met the week before, were both so friendly and the service was excellent. We’ll definitely be back and hopefully my husband will be able to play some poker and meet new people! They also have quite a few games like pinball and other arcade games. I’d recommend this place for anyone looking for a cool bar that is welcoming to all ”
“ Stopped in during ArtScene this year and I have 0 regrets! The place is HUGE, which makes sense for the events they hold there! Staff was super nice and were quick to help me out with getting seated. Waitress came out quickly, was super polite, and the food was at the table before I knew it. Absolutely delicious, 10/10, will absolutely be stopping in again in the future :)! (Pictured: 4 cheese mac w/ added chicken) ”
