Very nice place with a nice, homey pub experience. The staff is very professional and the open/glass windows offer a unique vibe that i really like. Thanks.

Unbelievable. This was my second time at Rocco's. The first time, I saw two fights, like full-on brawls, but I decided it might have been random and gave it another chance after today's USC/UCLA football game.

First of all, it's so crowded in the bar that it's impossible to walk through without getting shoved into other people. Not like a normal bar, like this has got to be a fire hazard, which is so funny because they make you wait 15 minutes for every person in line in front of you. I had barely stepped foot in the bar, and I had already seen 3 people blacked out in their friends' arms and 1 fight. Then, I get squeezed into this guy because it's so tight, and he immediately starts getting aggressive with me. As I'm trying to walk away into the crowd, his friend shoves me hard from behind and gives me a pissy look.

Control your clientele. I'm never spending money here again.

Parking lot antics are more entertaining than film and television!

The bartender, an absolutely charming African-American woman, was so wonderful and gracious. It was my first time in Rocco’s. I will recommend everyone I know to go there.

Fun sports bar on NFL Sunday and watched three games at once which I absolutely loved. The garlic fries with garlic aioli was delicious. Their ranch dressing was also spot on. The nachos were good and so were the drinks. The service was excellent. Only wish the bathroom was in a little better shape. No way to dry my hands. One toilet seat was totally broken and no soap. Ladies need our bathrooms in better shape !

Walked in straight from getting off the job to watch the Eagles game, my second time here. Midway through the second quarter, the bouncer approaches my two top with an attitude and says, “You gotta get up. I need this table for a family.” The place is full but not at capacity, with other tables and situations similar to mine. I ask, “Why?” He responds, “You’ve been here and you haven’t ordered anything.” So I said, “No one has come to my table.” “You order at the bar. Get up.” was his response. “I’m going to order at halftime (which I did).” I asked him, ”If I needed to order to have the table then why didn’t you just say that, why are coming at me so hostile?” He tells me, “You’ve been here an hour and haven’t ordered anything.” I say, “Cause I’m not hungry yet.” He walks off saying, “Go order at the bar.” (As if to be allowing me to do so). I speak to the bartender Adam and relay to him this unprovoked exchange and he says he would speak to the bouncer (I have little faith much was said beyond a quick question and a response). My order comes and at halftime I need to go feed the meter. I placed napkins on top of my food, and drink, to which from my long time understanding, communicates to the bar, and it’s staff, that “I am not leaving, I’ll be back in a few.“, coinciding with my card and open tab still at the bar. 15 minutes later (because that’s how long halftime is) I come back in, my food, my drink, all have been cleared, and someone new is sitting at my table. I go back to Adam and ask “is there something I’m missing here? Why is it so difficult to watch the game and have some food at the table I’ve been sitting at the entire time?“. He responds,” I didn’t know you were gone, the wait staff just come and clear things off the table, can I get you a new order? You can take a seat at the bar.” I do that, the food runner that dropped my order off, I say to him, “could you bring me an extra ketchup?“ He nods yes, and never comes back, choosing to go attend to other patrons for the rest of the night. Fast forward to the fourth quarter late in the game, Adam is long gone and a new bartender has replaced him. With just over two minutes left in the Eagles game, the streaming set up for half the TVs showing it, goes out. The new bartender and the bouncer scramble for over 10 minutes attempting to get the game back on, resolving the situation with now just 15 seconds left. The only reason I chose to watch the game here was because of my first experience earlier this week. There was a woman of color bartending, and training a new hire. Both were attentive, conversational, and had a natural positive energy throughout the night, the exact opposite of this experience. Thanks for the memories.
