reviews

  • "One of my all time favorite places to watch a Giants game or a Sharks game. Love their waitresses. Love their bartenders. I always get amazing service at Rookies! Their chicken tenders and all of their salads are so good. They actually use REAL greens and not just soggy iceberg like you find at most sports bars. Great beer and liquor selection. Their bartender pours an awesome lemon drop - with no sugar rim for me. The best!"

  • "This is my hubbys favorite local bar.... And if you're looking for a sports bar with a view, you stopped in the right place! The girls are pretty ... There's a screen with sports on in every single angle. -seriously. Flat screens everywhere. The best thing would be the corn flake battered chicken tenders. Or if you're in the mood, their original burger is mouth watering. Locally owned and operated. Rookie's is awesome."

  • "This place rocks!!! We go here every year for our annual softball holiday party. Great service as always. The waitress have always been fun and very accommodating. This years waitress was Lisa! She was awesome but too bad she could join us. We'll you next year!!"

  • "This place rocks!!! Every sporting event on like 25 TV's are playing. My girlfriend and I have looked everywhere for a decent neighborhood bar and we finally found one!!! The servers are nice, food was good and all around good people. It was busy but who wants to sit in an empty bar? Keep it up Rookies and you have a customer for life ;-)"

  • "Came here on a Sunday afternoon to watch baseball and it was everything I could have asked for in a sports bar. Decently priced tasty food, nice beer selection, and tons of TVs. They even put on an Angels game for my girlfriend, which I didn't expect given the strong A's presence."

    David H. - San Jose, CA

  • "Great place to watch games while you drink and eat. Delicious foods and drinks. Get the Bloody Mary! They got pint size or a loaded huge size with a tiny size corona. Fish tacos, nachos, and calamari are good. Even though it was busy for a Sunday, it's fast service."

    Crystal H. - Milpitas

  • "Nachos, lemon pepper wings, any of their specials are good but My favorite is the blackened chicken. All the staff is friendly and its a fun atmosphere"

    Maria D - San Jose

  • "One of the best sports bar environments I've experienced. Menu is phenomenal, everything is above expectation."

    Jason G. - Huntington Beach

  • "Great atmosphere, great service, great food. Sounds like some kind of fake review but it's not. Go here no matter how much the Uber costs."
