Pain Killers Pub & Grub

We love to come here for the trivia and fight nights. They have themed trivia which makes it fun to engage and feel like you actually know stuff! The owner and staff are always super friendly. They have a good beer selection for my friends. I don't drink alcohol but the steak sandwich and the redneck sooshi are DELISH. I love how it's so close to my house in Rocklin.Add karaoke next!

You just have to absolutely adore a neighborhood pub, where the friendly staff greet you by name, and there's always somebody that you know, and you're welcome to hang with. Also a pub that has a wide array of mainstream and craft beer on tap, a full service bar, AND a menu of your pub favorites, served in a "Cheers" atmosphere. If this sounds like your kind of pub, it all comes together at PainKillers Pub and Grub, located in Rocklin, CA.As you enter the pub, you'll notice the large bar, and the friendly staff will greet you with a smile. You'll love the sports bar atmosphere, thanks to the dynamic lighting and the many television monitors tuned to sports. On this early Saturday afternoon, there were a couple of college football games in progress, and the restaurant was tuned into the action.The restaurant/pub is divided into two dining rooms, with the bar separating the main dining room from the somewhat more intimate location that showcases a stage, where live music takes stage on most weekends.The beer menu is posted on the wall behind the beer taps, and features a mix of domestic, craft and local beers. The beer menu is ever changing, so the video display helps you keep up to date. Food menu is an "old school" printed menu.From the "Grub" section of the menu, I went with a "Pepperoni Pizza," and a pint of Busch Light beer. Such a perfect lunch!For starters, at $13.00, this pizza is the Bargain of Gold Country Dining, as was a "small" size pizza - about 13 inches in diameter - and not a "personal" size as I expecting. My host, Auston mentioned to me that he likes his diners to be satisfied. Oh yeah!The foundation of a delicious pizza begins with a quality crust, and my pizza didn't disappoint, as it was based on a freshly baked-to-perfection, golden brown crust. The crust was topped with flavorful pizza sauce, which added taste to the pizza, yet didn't overwhelm all of the goodness. Topping the sauce was a shredded blend of Italian cheese, fresh oregano, and thinly sliced pepperoni. Two cups of "House Ranch" dressing were provided on the side for great dipping.So... I dug in and dipped a slice into the dressing... oh my! Such an amazing pizza! The delicious crust was crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside, and held together perfectly. With my first bite, I could taste the crust, sauce, cheese, oregano and pepperoni working together, with the warm pizza contrasted to a dip of the cool ranch dressing. The pizza was well-balanced, and had the perfect meat/cheese-to-crust ratio, which is crucial to make a quality pizza.The $3.00 pint of Busch Light beer - a special price this Labor Day weekend - served as an appetizer and the second pint made for a delicious dessert.The pizza I enjoyed today at PainKillers Pub and Grub was simply delicious! Calling all pizza lovers in west Placer County... this is YOUR restaurant to enjoy delicious pizza!Great pizza, friendly service, "Cheers" sports bar atmosphere, comfortable patio... add it all up and it equals FIVE STAR dining in Rocklin!

making a reservation was super easy, but i don't feel like it was very necessary. especially because there is no hostess table when you walk in or anyone to direct you to your table, give you menus, tell you that you have to walk to the cashier to order, etc. i think the best item was the pretzel! live music was fun & good too

We love Painkillers and Auston and the staff are great. The food has always been spectacular and the drinks are reasonably priced. It is a relatively small neighborhood place, which we love, so they don't have 10 wait staff running around to serve you, but these people hustle big time. So, chill out, enjoy the ambiance, the food, and your beverages and have a good time. I have been there a dozen times or so and never had an issue, but I feel like if I did, Auston would immediately fix it if possible. Highly recommend Painkillers in Rocklin!

We came for the live music and had a great time! We plan to come back often even though its a little bit of a drive. The food & beer was good, and the vibes were great!

Came here with a buddy for a couple of drinks. The ambiance of the place was surprising when I entered. I wasn't expecting dive bar in this commercial center. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Didn't try any of the food. I recommend the joint if you are looking for a drink.

Took over an hour for our food to come out. The cook said the appliances went out but the cook was rude about it. The Food came out at all different times so half our party was done eating by the time the last of the food came out.

Pain Killers is ALWAYS a solid option for a good evening of drinks and food. The environment is awesome and plenty of bar and seating space. The food is fantastic! The owner, Auston, has done a fantastic job with his food menu and drink options. The live music is always appreciated as well. If you haven't stopped by for a drink, put Pain Killers on top of your list of places to try. Keep it up Pain Killers

Fun little pub. Music is a bit loud even when they aren't full of patrons. The grub menu is a good variety, pretty spendy, but decent for the atmosphere. They have a good entertainment calendar.

Love the ambiance here with most nights of free live bands, beers on tap, fast & great service, and yummy bites too!
