Let’s start with the good. The atmosphere was nice, clean bathroom, and the music wasnt so loud you couldn’t have a conversation.
The negatives far outweigh the positives though and we wont be back. First off, their slopper is more like a salad, in fact the waitress didnt know what she had put down and took the food back to the kitchen when we asked if it was the slopper. More like a salad sitting in juice. I ordered the buffalo grilled cheese. It came with 2 slices of grilled cheese, one on the bottom one on the top. The waitress never offered to refill drinks and its not like they were busy. There were six other tables while we were there and 3 servers on. Please note in the picture we took the tortilla wrapped hamburger patty out to show how much liquid was on the bottom.

If you’re in Colorado Springs and haven’t been to Rookies, you’re seriously missing out. This place has hands down the best wings in the Springs — and I don’t say that lightly. The real secret? Mixing the sauces. Don’t just pick one. Combine them trust me, it changes the game. Crispy, saucy, perfectly cooked every time.
Now let’s talk about the real MVP — Lilly. She is AMAZING. Not only is she super friendly and welcoming, but she actually knows the menu. If you’re stuck deciding, just ask her. Her drink recommendations are always on point, whether you want something refreshing, strong, sweet, or totally different. Same with the food — she’ll steer you right every time.
You can also tell the leadership is solid. Anmol runs the place professionally and keeps everything flowing smoothly. He’s respectful, attentive, and you can see that the team reflects that energy. The vibe is laid-back but still organized — which isn’t easy to pull off.
Great wings. Great drinks. Great service. Great management.
Rookies is officially my go-to spot.

Rookies was a great spot to catch some delicious food and the service was killer. The only part that was somewhat disappointing was our order was originally not noticed in the kitchen and we were there about 2 hours to chat and eat. That and the music at times was simply too loud to hear the people at our table. This place has great potential and I hope they keep up the good strides.

Rookies was a chill place to go for a casual bite to eat. Food wasnt bad, it was pub food. Our server was awesome. It was music bingo night which was fun, the environment was lively. I would def visit again when in colorado.

Great local tap house with a real good beer and beverage selection. Bartenders and staff are always on point. Food is good for being a tap house. It’s not over the top, but it fits the environment. The only thing I did not like was the 3% credit card fee. Seriously, just raise the menu prices 3%.

Walked in and got sat. Saw they had a big party in the back and a few other tables that needed helped. Watched both servers help all tables. Host is walking around doing nothing and doesn’t even offer to get us drinks watching her serving staff struggle. We sat there for 10 mins, enough for me to play 3 games of tic tac toe with my daughter annd my wife annd youngest daughter to color in their kids menus and then saw them sat another table of 3 and a server instantly greeted them. I walked out after this happened and not a single one of the staff cared enough to stop us and ask what was going on. No table should ever not be greeted or let know it’s gonna be a minute. I will not come back again. That type of service to ignore a table you see with menus and no drinks no restaurant should be in business if that’s how they are gonna run their service. I’m sorry to the BOH staff that I didn’t get to try the food that looked delicious.

Adam was Amazing Experience and Excellent Service!
I had such a great time at this bar! Adam were incredibly friendly and attentive — they made sure our drinks were always full and checked in just the right amount. The bartender was super knowledgeable and even recommended a cocktail that ended up being my new favorite. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and everyone made us feel right at home. You can really tell they care about their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to my friends!

I have been here several occasions and the atmosphere is amazing, good food, good drinks (served by Angie and Celeste). Would recommend coming on Tuesday trivia night and Wednesday for music bingo. Angie and Celeste should be promoted.

Wow…. What a find !! Passing through and stopped in for a bite. Good music was playing. Very inviting. The place was busy but we managed to get two seats at the bar. Sammie, our Bartender, was delightful and full of personality. We ordered our drinks. Soon after ordered the Rookies Hamburger with sweet potato fries to split. Delicious!!!
Cooked to the right temp, juicy and full of flavor. AND, they made it properly…. The lettuce, tomato & pickles were on the bottom so that the bun DID NOT GET SOGGY!! Really awesome !! Wish every place did that.
The fries were still firm inside with an extra nice crisp on the outside.
Sad part…. We are passing through. Highly recommended!!!
