Rookies Sports Bar & Grill

Really liked this place. Stopped in on the bike for a beer and to check out what this place had to offer. If you like playing pool, this place has at least 10 tables! Drink prices were good. Didn't try the food but will grab something to eat on my next visit. It has a dive kind of atmosphere, but I mean that as a compliment. Much bigger on the inside than it looks like from outside. Service was prompt and friendly!

I love this location of Rookies - note that there's two. This is Parma HEIGHTS and there's another one in PARMA proper. It gets confusing, trust me. You HAVE to specify which one you're meeting you're friends. My friend and her daughter's dance academy have a fundraiser here every year. Truthfully, my friend should be in charge of that entire fundraiser because the other parents turned the 2022 event into a HOT MESS, but I digress. My friend is a queen who is a treated like a peasant - my numerous guests and I agree. ;) ANYWAY, when I'm in Cleveland (I am 50/50 Cleveland & Columbus), this location is walking distance to my house. I love this place. It's clean, the staff is nice, the food is good. There's a bartender with curly purple hair and she's super cool and nice. It's also affordable! It's a nice place to gather with the fam or gather with friends. Or to grab a drink coworkers. The Rookie Blue drink they make as their speciality is a lemonade type drink. I'm not into super sweet drinks, but I'm good for one of these. The have their own Rookies beer on tap too. I can't remember if it tried it. I'll have to return and edit.

Rookies is your friendly neighborhood corner sports bar and grill. It's located at the end of a plaza with a TON of parking out front and on the side of the building. There is a small patio out front that a lot of people use to smoke. The inside is fairly large! There are probably 7-12 pool tables inside and a bar area, with a ton of tables. It's really easy to accommodate large groups at Rookies, so it's a great place to hold fundraisers like all-you-can-way-wings. The trivia night I go to (Awesome Trivia) holds their bi-yearly championship there and it accommodates a ton of people.The staff at Rookies is great. They are nice, knowledgeable about the menu, and really attentive. I've never had a bad experience with the staff there. The drinks are fairly cheap and they have rotating specials for the season. For example, they have winter drinks right now for the holiday season. The wings are really good and reasonably priced here! Definitely my favorite thing to get.

Many reviewers complain about the service at Rookies. I surmise that these people live miserable lives and only venture out in Public to spread germs. Getting good service is a secret. All places have their own way of doing things. Don't expect to be like Cary Grant in North by Northwest and be treated like in the Movies. Lose your Ego for once in a while and stop missing a good time.

Disappointed! My husband and I stopped in to check the place out, as we had never been there before. Just wanted a couple of beers and a light snack.We sat at the bar and ordered a couple of beers (Bud and Coors), we were never asked if we wanted to see a menu or order food. We ordered another beer and asked to close out our tab. They said they couldn't find our tab in the system, so we gave them our card again and paid for the beers. Next day, both charges were deducted for our beers, so we paid for 8 beers and not 4! We didn't get to try the food, but from what I saw, I'm glad we didn't. We will not be back.

This is a pretty solid spot. The service is always good, we love the bartenders and servers there. It's like a totally new place since they opened up the other side. Very spacious, bright, with lots of pool tables, darts, tables and games.We started coming here because of trivia. Cleveland Awesome Trivia hosts a weekly game on Sundays and we love it. It's a good game and fabulous hosts!The food is really excellent, too. Try a burger or the loaded cheese fries. YUMMM!!!

I have spent many nights at rookies. It's a great place to attend fundraisers, pool and dart tournaments, or just to hang out. The bar tenders and servers are always friendly and efficient! Thursday's are $5 burger nights, this evening I got the rookies burger and it was delicious! Rookies is definitely my go to bar when I'm looking for something fun to do that's close to home.

I was having a great date night this past Friday until "someone " from the pool league started demanding several tables. He stated that these specific pool tables are league tables. My date and I were shooting pool for several hours and were not notified that the league pool was on Friday nights. The gentleman confronted my date and demanded for us to leave. There were no signage throughout the bar to notify patrons that the pool league started on a specific time and for specific tables. The gentleman asked one of the witnesses to talk to us, and after we finished our game, we decided to leave.I felt that notifications should be stated to "non" league members.

My friend and I just left, we called before to see what time they closed. We ordered our food by 9:15 and they closed at 10. By the time we got our food, it was 9:55 and we were told "we could not eat there." The blonde bartender and man bartender covered in tattoos NEVER addressed the issue. 01/01/2021. Absolutely ridiculous, will never return. We had to ask them what was going on, they never told us what happened. We were told the printer paper wouldn't print AND they had to wait for oven to heat up and we literally got NOTHING that was oven cooked, all deep fried. There was like 10 people in the place total.. We saw the 2 bartenders by the computer freaking out (probably cause the food never went thru etc.. ) they still never addressed it. We did not get a discount or anything. Terrible service will not return.

Havnt been here few months decided to go back today 1-21-21 , got inside and at least 3 bartenders looked at us never came over so after 20min we left. Will NEVER return
