Revision as of 01:08, 19 January 2019
Rocky's Bar is a space within Dean Winchester's subconscious which was created by Michael as a means to keep Dean quiet and complaint by offering him contentment.
Episodes
14.10 Nihilism
In the bar Dean works alongside a version of Pamela Barnes, while Sam and Castiel are off hunting a ghoul. The scenario also operates on an infinite loop, where a woman offers to buy the bar from Dean, Dean denies the woman's offer, Dean and Pamela flirt and take shots together, while Dean kills the same two vampires who are after him for killing their nest.
When Sam and Castiel locate Rocky's Bar in Dean's mind, he is able to acknowledge their presence, while continuing his routine without realizing what is happening, believing the blood on Sam and Cas from his killing the two vampires came from their ghoul hunt. Once Dean was able to become aware of the nature of Rocky's, he was able to alter elements, such as when Sam reminds him that Pamela was blinded by Castiel, dream Pamela loses her eyesight and reminds him it was due to Castiel, he eventually causes Pamela to disappear once he remembers that she died helping him and Sam. When Sam uses the phrase "Poughkeepsie", Dean is able to fully realize and remember what happened to, which causes Michael to make his presence known to stall everyone to give his monster army time to get to the Bunker. After a fight, rather than eject Michael from his body and release him into the world, Dean chose to instead lock him in a storage room, making his body the "Cage" to trap Michael.
Trivia
Rocky's bar featuring beers from the Family Business Beer Company
- The name of the bar and the Moose's head hangs on the wall are a reference to Crowley's nickname for Dean and Sam which was Squirrel and Moose -- a reference to Rocky the squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose from the cartoon The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends. In fact,"Moose" has became so popular with Crowley that it spread to Jared, other cast members, and the fans. (See all its uses in canon here.)
- There is also a stuffed squirrel wearing an aviators cap and googles as Rocky does in the cartoon behind the bar, holding a bottle of Margiekugel a beer created for the show that features regularly and is named for Production Designer Jerry Wanek's mother.
- "Daphne Loves Fred" can be seen carved inside a heart on the bar in Rocky's. This is a reference to Daphne Blake and Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! who appeared in 13.16 Scoobynatural. Dean has a crush on Daphne and was frustrated by her affection for Fred.
- Cosmic Cowboy IPA, along with the other beers on tap -- Ghost White IPA and Fox Rye Lager -- are beers from Jensen's Family Business Beer Company located in Austin, Texas. The beer coasters also feature the Family Business Beer Co. logo.
- There is an Impala tribute behind the bar including two photos of the Impala and the KAZ 2Y5 licence plate.
- There is a "Texas Star" neon sign. Jensen grew up, and still lives in Texas.
- The bar also features other things Dean loves including a cassette deck and a pool table.
- There is a neon "Tom's Tequila" sign - a reference to director Thomas J. Wright
- The wooden monkey behind the bar originally lived on the corner of the bar at Harvelle's Roadhouse. In 2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown when the boys first visit the Roadhouse, Ash is passed out drunk on the pool table, referenced here with the vampire pretending to be passed out at the bar.
