Rocket Bar

Really nice place to place games, grab a drink and socialize.Was very crowded but we still got the chance to enjoy the games .The employees are friendly and respectful.

I recently discovered ROCKET BAR and let me tell ya I had a BLAST !! Rocket Bar is a super cute nostalgic pool hall with small arcade center! I loved the entrance of the bar to be honest it's the reason I really came to check the place out I just LOVED the Robot art ! I definitely think adding more art would just keep people coming! Everyone was welcoming and I had a great time with friends.

First time here and what a time we had! They honor happy hour as soon as they open and there are quite a few options for HH. We sat at the bar and were served by Jason (great attitude and service!). They have a 90's like setup with little elements of space/rockets throughout. There's also a bunch of games; pool, darts, skeeball and a Photo Booth. We'll definitely be back to indulge in some games as well.

Love the atmosphere of this bar!! The young energy of good interactions. A lot of games to play! From arcades to pool and shuffle board.. with a few others. They have 2 extensive bars and a lot of room to mingle around.. if you are looking for a quick date night with some solid fun this is the spot to be. Drinks were great and decent price especially during happy hour. Our bartender Jason was extremely attentive and always giving us new idea of what to drink.

What a find! We came to this place with no expectations but to get a drink or two and possibly move on to the next bar but ended up staying put until it was time call it a night. We weren't expecting too much action here since it we were stopping by this random dive bar in the middle of the week and a bit late but this place got pretty packed as the night went on. Despite the crowd, the bartender was friendly and pretty quick to get us our drinks. Not only were the bartenders great but the crowd here was just as awesome. Seriously a great place to get some drinks, socialize and meet some new friends. There are a lot of things to do here from video games, darts to billiards. The billoards tables are rented by the hour so there is a potential of waiting for table to open up but luckily we were able to get on wothout having to wait too long. It would be cool if one of the tables was pay to play instead of pay by the hour. Either way, still a great place as there is plenty to do while you wait. We'll definitely make this a go to spot when we come back and highly recommend stopping by.

Hole in the wall that is a gem! I'm a fan and will definitely be back! $6 rails?!?!?! Games?!?! Yes please! We had so much fun! Service was great. Drink were cheap and good! The game cards are a throwback - look like the old school Nintendo. Played some pinball and basketball... good fun! Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun bar!

Fun little dive bar with arcade games and pool! The drinks are affordable and the atmosphere is what you'd expect for a dive bar. It can get pretty loud and busy on weekend nights or after a game at Capital One.

I absolutely love the vibe of this bar! Basement dive with good music, games, pool tables, & a pretty good beer selection - count me in! Despite the bar being in a basement, it felt very welcoming & cozy. Also, service was super quick (even though there was a pretty big crowd at the bar). I liked how there were both high top tables or low comfy couches for sitting with a group. If I lived in DC, I would definitely be a regular!Food: N/ADrinks: BService: BAmbiance: B

This is my go-to casual fun night out bar when I'm in town. I stumbled across it back in 2008 when I didn't know anyone in DC, spotted the little doorway on 7th, saw the narrow stairway watched over by a 60's-era TV robot leading down to a mysterious basement level and said to myself "oh man, I need to check THIS place out."It's a classic "games" bar, with lots of pool tables and darts boards and a smattering of shuffleboard tables and arcade games. The drinks are fairly reasonable, the clientele mixed, and the pretension set to absolutely zero. In a famously dressy town, there's no code here to stop you from enjoying a simple but fun, almost old fashioned, in a way, night out. It was great to see you again old friend, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

So, if you're into pool and old school games...this is the place to be in DC! From the start, I grabbed a cheap ole drank and it was bomb! The service was great and the ambiance was cool! We was vibing shall I say! I learned how to play pool and although we didn't win, it was a blast! I also took the metro which I hadn't done in about 10 years but the experience was awesome! Thanks to the group of friends I was with and the great amount of fun we had together! Until next time..like, share and follow please! ~Cheers!
