Great place to watch a game or match with friends! Conveniently located in downtown san jose, you can take public transportation to get here. The nachos were some of the biggest and best that I’ve had. I will definitely be coming again.

Only giving it three stars bc of the original barkeeper I had was rounding the bar and doing her job (Jewel i think she said). After she left i watched patrons come to the bar and sit, and then leave after 5-10 min of no one attending to them. Mind you. Maybe 5 people at the bar. I asked for my tab. The bartender acknowledged I asked for my tab (again less than 5 people at the bar), and he disappeared. Had to re ask bar back for my tab. Who had to wait for the male bartender to come back. I got my tab. $48. 2 pilsners, a shot of jameo and their meatball’s.
Do what you want with this info. But if you’re not a buddy of the bar. Don’t expect service.

Have been to rookies 3-4 times over the past year, usually the day after a sharks game for some brunch nachos.
Writing a review today for the service from River. Engaging and personable, attentive and knowledgeable about the drinks and menu. She’s a Colts fan but born and raised Bay Area. Ask her why!!
Nachos are fire. They are gigantic. Don’t be a hero, it’s difficult to finish them between 2-3 people.
Ridiculous nachos that could feed 5 people, 4 IPA’s between the gentleman and I, 75$. Reasonable price considering the service and the truckload of food for one entree.
Thanks for another good Sunday brunch rookies, and thank you again River! Made our day today!!

Lots of TVs, good food, good service, my son ordered their house burger medium well with fries. It was cooked perfect and the fries were hot, crispy and lightly salted
. I partook in the 34oz Lagunitas which was poured well and fantastically chilled.

Located in the heart of Downtown San Jose, at the corner of bar-hop-central, there’s a wide selection of beer plus a full bar. I found the scene too chill for my taste as solo lady looking to mingle… especially for a college football Saturday.
On the plus side, it seemed appropriate for families during the day.
The service staff is friendly but the food was too salty. I can’t comment on the mix drinks. Just know there is no shortage of tvs which is mandatory for a decent sports bar.

The service here was terrible. I went there to watch the games and it was not crowded. My friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender was largely on his phone and very not attentive. It took a while to even order our first round of drinks. Several times he left the bar area completely and at one point was just hanging out talking to the servers with his back to the bar. He never asked if we wanted anything else when my friend and I were close to done our drinks. At the end, we were trying to leave and he was no where to be found to close our tab so I had to go ask several other people to close it. The nachos are great and I would highly recommend getting them. Save yourself the hassle and just get take out.

We waited for over 45 minutes to have our food delivered to us. We asked for an appetizer and it came at the same time with the food. The fries were cold for being our first time here. Not a good experience at all. I would never recommend friends to come here.

Great selection of craft beers and foods! Acceptable price for beers and food in SJ downtown and area!
Also this is a good place to watch the game and hanging out!
BTY, I think they don’t have Happy Hours for now.

Nice outdoor seating area setup, plenty of parking around the area. Very friendly staff and owner. Took a bit of time to get my order but worth the wait. Grabbed the Gobble Up burger with tater tots. Burger infused and mixed with apricots and spices made it a delicious, juicy bite. Cooked well-done. Tater tots were nice and crisp, tightly packed to the brim in the box.

Levi’s season ticket holder and lifelong 49ers fan. Was looking for a local sports bar to watch the Niners vs Tampa Bay game last weekend. Rookies in downtown San Jose looked like a good option with all the TV’s and projection screens. I got lucky and found a parking spot in a loading zone, which was free on Sunday morning. I saw two people get let in a few minutes after 9am.
I wandered in and was asked by the hostess whether I wanted to sit at the bar or a high top with bar stools. I chose a high top away from the brighter front half of the bar for tv and projection screen visibility. They did turn on the audio on the house speaker system to make it possible to follow the Niners game. Unfortunately, the projector bulbs are so burnt out that there is barely any light reaching the screens. Zero contrast. It’s a shame because the projectors look like an expensive high end Sony model. If the bulbs are replaced, they should look a ton better but who knows how long they’ve been like this and if they care enough to order and install new bulbs.
The angle of the table and stools was perpendicular to the screens, so I had to turn at a hard angle to see the game. Once my bro-in-law arrived, we ordered some drinks and a massive platter of nachos with steak. It took the entirety of the game to consume about 2/3 of it. The flavor was pretty good with plenty of cheese, black beans, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and slices of jalapeños. I ordered an Irish Coffee that was pretty high on ABV. Later I ordered a Ballast Point Sculpin. Their beer selection was decent if not a bit conventional.
Service was fine, a team of young waitresses were constantly circulating around the bar. It was pretty early to be drinking for a 10am East Coast away game. Interestingly, it seemed like there was a large amount of Pittsburgh Steelers fans there, and Steelers memorabilia on the wall. I was glad the Niners pulled out the win on a last second Jake Moody field goal, but I don’t know if I would return.
