Rock & Brews' star power is Simmons and Stanley, who proudly say the restaurant has a fun vibe and good food. "There are 10 items for under $10, available in 10 minutes," Simmons said in a March interview with The Dallas Morning News. "The reason all of our Rock & Brews are always packed is because people love them."

The musicians and their partners picked The Colony as the location for the first free-standing Rock & Brews in Texas.

The restaurant has a patio with bar games such as shuffle board and a cavernous interior with murals of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Janis Joplin and Willie Nelson, among others.

At a private event on Tuesday, May 10, Simmons and Stanley greeted veterans and raised money for Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas.

"I've been rocking to them since I was 6 years old," says Ari Lopez, one of the attendees.
