Rivals Sports Pub

Seen from the freeway, but just enough off the beaten bath of highway 50, Rivals is a great spot to stop in for beer and a bite. The interior is pretty with lots of natural wood, a unique and stylish long bar, warm lighting and a variety of seating options. The multiple sets of rowed tappers on the ceiling make for fun and creative decor, so don't forget to look up!Rivals has a nice menu, full bar and a great selection of beers. I had the Downeast Blackberry Cider, at the recommendation of the owner who just happened to be sitting at the bar with us, and it was INCREDIBLE! If you are a fan of ciders, it's a must try. The subtle tartness was smooth, refreshing and delicious. For dinner, my husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and I opted for the Grilled Chicken Wings with Stingin' Honey Garlic Sauce. The bun on the Cheesesteak was soft but not soggy, the sliced beef was tender and pulled apart nicely, and the onions and green peppers were in perfect balance, adding a nice but not overwhelming flavor to the sandwich. My chicken wings were fantastic, and while the sauce was absolutely delicious I did not find it particularly "stingin." Which makes it perfect for those who want only a little kick. One of the girls working the bar was a little slow, but she was friendly and treated us well. It was great to talk to the owner and get his take on menu items, beer selections and general information about the restaurant. The only "issue" I had was the women's bathroom. Although clean, one of the two stalls is incredibly small. Even being petite, I found myself feeling quite confined once I shut the door.Rivals was described to me as a place for attorneys (because it's only 15 minutes from the courthouse) and townies, with great wings and very good food. Very true. While there are plenty of options in Kenosha, especially along the main strip, this place is worth a try. Again and again.

We stumbled into this place one evening while the power was out at most of the other restaurants in town. And, boy are we glad we did! This is a chill local bar with great food and comfortable atmosphere.Our server was very friendly and informed us that it was "Taco Tuesday", so street tacos were $2.25 each. I was instantly excited because I like specials, and these were totally great tacos! I had a chicken, Barbacoa, and pork. All were great! My SO ordered a BBQ burger which was delicious, and we also tried their Mac & Cheese, which was very tasty. They had many beers on draft. I had a local Chocolate Porter for $5, which I thought was a great deal. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back! If you're in the area, I definitely recommend giving Rivals a try!Enjoy!

Rivals Sports Bar is a hidden gem. The outside looks like a house but the inside is a nice bar/restaurant that caters to all.They had plenty of sports on TV and beers on tap. Just had apps tonight and started with the grilled bone in sticky garlic wings and OMG they are worth the price of admission.The bad the barbacoa half nachos and they were ok. Ingredients were fresh I just found it a bit dry and needed a salsa on top.Will for sure go back just for the wings!!!

Food was very good and the service was equal to the food. Will definitely be back. Prime rib on Saturday was delicious and the friday fish fry was great

We've gone to this place every Thursday since my fiancé is on a volleyball league in the summer and fall. Wings are amazing, chicken tenders are amazing, and veggie burger is amazing! We usually get the pizza when it is $5 off, but unfortunately with Covid we don't want to eat inside the bar and we no longer get the coupon. We got the bbq chicken pizza and it was $20 for a 16". We will not be ordering their pizza anymore if we won't dine in. It's just not worth the $20 in our opinion. The sauce was too light and it just wasn't as good as other bbq chicken pizzas I've had.

The staff are always so friendly! The boneless wings are The Bomb!! I have also been favoring the Turkey Club sandwich! My only gripe is so much Rock music is blocked on the jukebox . But great atmosphere and plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sports teams.

If I could leave a review with 0 stars, I would. Today, I have experienced something that my team and I would have never expected! My team and I arrived here to play beach volleyball in their backyard area. When we arrived, we walked through the bar and straight into the back area where the volleyball courts are located. We were there to play our beach volleyball game and grab some food and enjoy our Wednesday evening. However, I along with my family were ID'd for the first time here randomly. We politely asked why we were being carded when we have never before and the woman working explained that we could not be there unless we were 21 or with our parents if we were under drinking age. Since my sister (who I am the guardian of) is 18 and not of drinking age, she asked that she leaves the bar. I fully understand that 21 is the drinking age and you cannot be sitting at the bar or consuming alcohol under the age but we were not doing that. I would like to highlight that there are literal toddlers and children running around their back area with no problem during these games so I was a bit confused! When I asked why she couldn't stay like the kids, she told me she couldn't be there because I am not her "parent"?? She got fed up with us and directed to the owner when we kept asking questions. & When we were directed to the owner, he told us that we could stay as long as we were okay with paying his "ticket" that he would get if a cop walked in. Everything was fine until I told him that his policy was "misleading." He obviously did not like that a woman was giving him constructive criticism on his business because he stepped IN MY FACE and yelled at me because his "policies" aren't "misleading", according to him. I say that because there are literal children there and he has no way of proving that these children belong to their said "parents" & I also say this because I was not carded here last week when I played either. I even asked my teams and other customers and they have never been questioned about their guests EVER! Obviously, he is not a real businessman because that is not how you handle situations but I get it.. I wouldn't want a minority woman telling me that my business strategies suck!! If we were ID'd at DOOR like normal bars or ID'd every time we come, I would have had no problem with leaving :) Also, if he was respectful to his customers and WOMEN, I would have been perfectly fine as well but I know that's hard for boys :) However, it was the exact opposite, and I highly do not recommend if you are a woman, minority or a customer that doesn't take b.s.!

Haven't had the food there yet, but we did stop for some drinks and some volleyball. Their bartenders are very kind and fast at serving drinks for everyone there. Great service! And the ambiance was great as they have a very large deck and patio, perfect for large groups to lounge around and play some cornhole if you aren't up for volleyball (they have 2 large sand courts) and an outdoor hose to wash off. Their women's bathroom stall doors might be to big for the bathroom or the bathroom might be too small for those stall doors lol. Will be back!

been coming here for yearsDelicious drinks and food love the outside area and private party area

My husband left his polo jacket there and when he called and asked if someone turned it in they told him no, so I called back 2 weeks later (because I know that's where it was left) they had it. When I picked it up tonight I had mentioned something to the bartender and I said my husband called and asked about it and they told him that it wasn't found and she had a huge attitude with me and rolled her eyes at me. All I wanted was an apology. On top of that the jacket was being worn because it smells like nasty women's perfume all over it. My husband and I come in there all the time and spend money and for them to just be rude and lazy is unacceptable, the bartenders are supposed to be the face of the business and when you have snobs working there it makes people not want to come in.
