what an awesome outdoor garden area and stage! so cool and intimate!

Great service and New patio is awesome!

Everything was awesome there

I was staying overnight in the hotel next door and based on the reviews I almost didn't go. At the last moment since I didn't feel like driving any more, I walked over and wow, am I ever so glad I did!I sat at the bar with some regulars and bartender/server Jamie and crew were on point and wonderful! The Manager knew the regulars I was adjacent to and he was very personable and engaged as well.The food and drinks were spot on and the atmosphere was bright, cheerful and fun!Do yourself a favor and whether you live local or are visiting from elsewhere, stop in and give Rookies a try. I'm betting you'll be glad you did! Thanks to Jamie (Pebbles) and all the great staff and folks at Rookies for making a stranger feel welcome.

The server was great but the food was terrible. My daughter and husband and I were all sick and that's the only thing we all ate that was same.

First time here and bartender was extremely rude will never come back she didn’t even hand us our drinks just left them at the inner side of the bar and walked away and the drink I ordered was pure blue curaçao didn’t taste any alcohol at all not worth the prices and service was terrible to begin with anyway

Used to have great food quality has gone way down it appears as well with increased prices. Better options elsewhere. Good atmosphere though.

Friendly staff, good house merlot. Mini tacos very tasty. Welcoming ambiance. Heather generous with complimentary popcorn.

Really gone down hill in the past few years. Especially the happy hour and specials. Use to be able to get $3 shot specials (like the starry night, jager and goldshlager) menu and now they are gone. Now they charge $6 for half a jigger. Pour that thing up. This place is not what it use to be. And the late night girls will hook up their regulars and pretty much skimp out and ignore us out of towners.

Lots of good bar food choices. This particular visit beer was flat-ish and not that cold. Service was slow
