The Rook Pub

Try their daily specials..................... tacos and Cajun fries are very good! Will return to try other items on their menu. ............. Service was good.

The Indy Wing Club (IWC) was out making their second trip Ol since inception and our goal initially is to hit bars that maybe we haven't heard of, so we can build up an overall application of what Indianapolis has to offer with their wings. We ordered 4 different wings flavors and each order comes with 6 wings. The wings had decent meat on them and were cooked well, so no disgusting loose skin and pink middles that you get sometimes elsewhere. The four flavors were Garlic Parmesan, Garlic Teriyaki, Hot Garlic, and then the waitress' recommendation Atomic Fireball mixed with sweet chili. They brought us both ranch and blue cheese and despite how the lighting appears in my pictures, these wings looked great. The Garlic Parmesan was in a garlic butter with Parmesan loaded on top, the garlic Teriyaki had that traditional teriyaki zing with some light garlic flavor, the hot garlic was the right amount of spice accompanied by a strong garlic flavor, and the Atomic Fireball x Sweet Chili wings are fried and tossed into the two sauces before being thrown in the oven to caramelize the wings slightly. All of the wins were great, but to rank them:1. Hot Garlic2. Atomic Fireball x Sweet Chili3. Garlic Teriyaki 4. Parmesan GarlicLastly the drinks are cheap and we all left satisfied without feeling like we broke the bank.Happy yelping!

Friendly, simple "cold beer" and potato skins place. Perfect early Friday afternoon stop after work.

Great food and awesome service ! Ordered wings, burger and apps were amazing! Definitely coming back!

A local neighborhood bar with great pub grub, daily drink specials, TVs, a jukebox and a few games/pulltabs. My honey and I met for a quick lunch. My beer battered cod was hot and flaky. His tenderloin was huge and had a cajun seasoning unlike any other I've tasted. The atmosphere nothing fancy, but I enjoyed being able to have a conversation without feeling crowded. We made the mistake of sitting near the door and froze every time someone came in.I don't know if they have other activities through the week, but there was a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. This is the spot to be before seeing a show at Birdy's to avoid their inflated drink prices. The restroom is small, but clean. Easy to get to, just off of 71st & Keystone.

I ordered the Chicken Philly minus the chicken. I've ordered veggie sandwiches for 25 years and have NEVER in my life had something this good! I kid you not! He added zucchini, tomatoes and mushrooms to the green peppers and onions. Charred to perfection. With this awesome hoagie roll grilled in garlic butter. I had the Cajun fries. Not typical Cajun seasonings either. I could've eaten just by itself. But the scratch made chipotle garlic sauce I ordered as a side! It needs to be on everything I eat. I had NO IDEA this kind of food was in this tiny little bar. WOW! 100% recommended!

Cool place, just my style. Not for everyone, but you'll know in 30 seconds. Very neighborhood feel, older, everyone talking, $2 domestics!If you like the neighborhood feel, try it!

I've been coming to The Rook for 5 years. It's a great neighborhood bar with awesome bartenders and great food. Never had a bad meal. It does get busy so sometimes you have to be patient. Would recommend to anybody. Great joint.

I used to frequent The Rook but not so much anymore. Stopped in today for one $3.25 beer. Paid $5.00 cash and was given no change. Assumed over 50% tip? Maybe there is a reason I don't go there much anymore.

Ashley is the best! She makes everyone feel at home and the prices are very fair compared to most Indy bars. 10/10
