On the Rocks is one of the largest bars on Virgin Voyages, located just below The Roundabout. It features live music most nights and a broad drinks menu, including classic cocktails, premium liquors, and a selection of wines.

A Central Spot for Drinks and Music

Positioned in the heart of the ship, On the Rocks often becomes a meeting point — whether before heading ashore or before a meal or evening event. The bar’s layout, with its 360-degree service area, makes it easy to order from multiple sides, though it can get busy during peak times.

Live Performances Each Night

A small stage next to the bar hosts guest musicians and singers throughout most evenings. Performances typically run late and can be heard from surrounding areas like The Roundabout, The High Street, and Draught Haus.

Nearby Alternatives for Quicker Service

During busier moments, service may take longer, especially when events are taking place. For a quieter experience or faster service, Draught Haus and The Casino Bar nearby are good alternatives, offering a more limited selection but shorter waits.

Overview

On the Rocks combines nightly live music with a wide drink selection in a central location. While it can get crowded, especially during performances, it remains a key part of the onboard experience for those looking to enjoy live entertainment with a drink in hand.
