Backyard

I came to the Backyard last night (Thursday) for the first time and found the atmosphere to have an urban sports bar vibe, they had a DJ playing a mix of 80’s, 90’s and Latin music. The food was tasty, the drinks were ok but overpriced and if you’re looking for standard mix drinks like pina colada’s or side cars then don’t expect them here lol! Overall I can totally go back there!

Great place to hang out for those visiting Columbia City. They have pool, board games, and a ton of TV's to watch the game. I really enjoyed meeting Lauren - so friendly and fun!

I hosted a private event for my husband’s birthday. We had about 50-60 guests. Shantelle was a great communicator and extremely helpful. The venue, the staff, the food — all of it was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for more 😊

This is my happy place. Great to watch a game but also fantastic to just chill with a drink. Wide range of people go there which keeps it fresh and interesting. Bartenders are fantastic and from what I'm told they mix a great cocktail. I prefer beer and appreciate the selection that highlights local breweries. Food is yummy as well.

Love this spot! The food is SO GOOD and the drinks were well poured. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Super clean and lots of TVs make this a great spot for the Seahawks game or just hanging out with some of your favorite people!

Best bar in Seattle!! Heather, the owner, always welcomes me like I'm family and her staff is extremely friendly with a great sense of humor. The BBQ brisket, ribs, burgers and Mac & Cheese are to die for! Once you come here and enjoy the food, drinks, darts, pool & buck hunter games with tons of great people, you'll be back over and over again! Great location, very clean & laid back. Go Hawks!!

Order the brisket tacos! It comes with a jus dip. It is amazing. Been back twice now just for that taco. The wings are really good. Not your typical bar food, much more elevated! Got to go back for the drag bingo sometime.

Food so good it will make your face melt! Well designed bar to sit in right behind its big sister rookies (Same awesome owners, without the yappy kids!) great selection of craft cocktails and local beers with a “Backyard BBQ” feel. Don’t forget the pizza bites!

I think I did myself a disservice here with suspecting this place was a BBQ spot - which it is very much so not. They do have "smoke house wings" and "brisket" items, but it's far far and away no where near a bbq place. Don't make my same mistake. With that said, if you walk in and enjoy the vibe here, I think you will enjoy yourself. The food and drinks are nothing to write home about. Staff is friendly. If you make your friends and the game a priority I think you'll have fun. Maybe if this place wasn't right next to another sports bar that offered better options I would rank it higher?

When you want a chill place to grab a burger, beer, brisket, or wings- Backyard is it. Comfortable seating, darts, arcade games and a simple menu of just the good stuff. Plenty of screens and even a small patio of outdoor seating. They don't have Happy Hours but their equivalent is Industry Night all day on Mondays. $5 drafts, $5 well drinks, and $5 tavern burgers. A steal of a price. I loved the brisket, homemade bun, garlic truffle fries, and wings. Delectable with kind and rapid service. Will def be back.

Came here to watch the games on a Sunday. Dive bar with a great vibe. Good service (there was only one bar tender working the whole place, but he was fabulous). THE 'SANDWICH' I GOT WAS SO GOOD and right up my alley. Anything with peanut butter and sriracha on it has my heart. If you are looking for a very chill place with good food, come here. Oh, and their drinks are cheap so you can get drunk!

A good place to grab some drinks and catch games. I like coming here after work sometimes to wind down and relax. The bartenders here are really friendly and attentive. Backyard is tucked away next to an alleyway right behind Rookies. The space is equipped with arcade games, pool tables, darts, cards, and even a juke box! Backyard is one of those few places in Columbia City that has a parking lot, but beware it is extremely limited esp during peak hours. There is always street parking available too, if parallel parking is your thing. Their happy hour is great and all the appetizers cost $6. Other items such as their sandwiches are also included in their happy hour menu. Drinks are also $6 during happy hour and are made on the stronger side. I love ordering a vodka soda from here. The appetizers that I've had here have been pretty mediocre for the most part...they don't really wow me and they're definitely bar items that you can get anywhere else. I will say that their poutine fries are banging though. I think they're also known for their BBQ, but the brisket I've had here was subpar and didn't really blow me away. A great neighborhood spot for sure.

I am addicted to their brisket, plain and simple. I order the brisket to go so that I can pig out in peace and in the comfort of my own home. I rotate between ordering the marbled cut and the lean cut. Be forewarned, the marbled cut comes with a good portion of wonderful, flavorful fat. Some may think its disgusting, I think it is heaven. Their bbq sauce is out of this world! Vinegary, sweet, spicy....they only have one sauce available and I am OK with that! Come for their drinks but stay for their bbq, you won't be disappointed! Ordering to go is quick and pain free, I highly recommend that if you don't want to dine in the bar atmosphere!

Sssh don't tell anyone. I think I've found a new game-day hang! In awesome, historic, diverse Columbia City there's this blink-and-you'll-miss-it sports bar that was obviously put together by someone who loves loves loves sports bars: it's like the ultimate man cave, softened just enough at the edges so you'd be ok inviting your favorite girly sport-o too (hilariously, they even reserve one tv to play continuous chick-flicks, amidst all the football and baseball games). The food is bomb. I mean: Boom! BBQ, the best poutine variant I've had in many a gravy and cheese-curd moon (more like French-fry nachos with brisket and sri-racha aoli) and deviled eggs your grandma would approve of. For a special treat, get the pea salad with pork belly. Oh. My. Goodness. My gal and I left here very happy with drinks, food, and service, already talking about what we were going to try next time. There's hardly a better recommendation for a place than that! Don't go here. I want this place all to myself. (Highly recommended!)

I have to be a fan of a local neighborhood bar! Reviewing for: Overall Location: Depending on where you live you can walk, drive, or bus (light rail is a stretch but i've seen people do it!) Food: Standard bar food. If you're eating I would recommend the fried cheese and nachos with pork (especially if they're on Happy Hour). Backyard has branched out into brunch and special nights/day parties. I've found the true gems of food are served during these hours (wings, waffles, HELLO!?) Drinks: They have happy hour 3-7pm which I pray never changes because it really does account for those of us who can't get anywhere before 6pm. Beers, cocktails and wells are on HH along with aforementioned food so it evens out to a good price. Space: The space is the reason we come to the backyard. As a POC- It's a place that feels MOST comfortable in Columbia city to me (music, patrons, bartenders, and events) Events: I'm happy this place is consistent with their activities- Saturday brunches, Sunday fundays, Trivia nights etc. Shoutout to the team that makes this an adult-only (no kids, no dogs) fun time most nights! Overall Experience: Highly recommended for the columbia city convenience, food specials, late night happy hour and for consistently playing hip-hop at night- please don't change (and maybe bring HH to the weekends :) )

A fun, chill vibe, great affordable food and Bev. We got the BY burger, poutine, fried pickles, and birria tacos. Everything was delicious! Super friendly staff, too.

Obnoxiously loud. This is my first time here, and maybe I chose the wrong Saturday but they were having a "day party". I'm all for having fun and celebrating what not, but I was sitting across the room and the speaker was painfully blaring, beyond necessary. It felt louder then if I were in a club, standing next to their speaker. I mean even after I left I could still hear the music a block away. As for food and drink they were both good. We got the brisket poutine and their BBQ plates looked good. Drinks were standard and good. They have a decent selection of beers on tap, as well as a full bar. Aside from the overtly loud music, the place seems like it would be chill. I'll have to visit another time, when it's a normal day. Service overall was friendly.

Backyard is kind of hard to find. I accidentally went into Rookies first. It was pretty noisy and crowded, but it was cool that they had free ping pong. The nachos didn't have much flavor, despite all the toppings. The chips themselves were probably pretty unique, but I couldn't tell for sure because the queso turned most of them into soggy mush. The wings were way overpriced, and I just wasn't a fan of the flavor. I did like that they came with pickles. The habanero ranch just tasted like regular ranch. The biscuit was amazing. Probably on par with the best biscuit I've ever had. Fluffy but still substantive texture on the inside, and crispy and golden on the outside. The chipotle honey butter didn't taste like chipotle or add much to the biscuit, though. It would have been better with jam.

Backyard is a great place to watch Sunday morning football. They have approximately 10 TVs which show many different games across the NFL. If you're team isn't already playing on one of the TVs, the staff does their best to accommodate your fandom and get your game on. We love coming here for the food, friendly staff, and atmosphere! My husband and I have been a couple of times now and we've tried the bingo bango waffle sandwich, pulled pork burrito, biscuits and gravy, and the B.Y. Basic breakfast. We've had great food each time and would recommend any of the above. For drinks we've had the Bloody Mary (a little heavy on the Worcestershire), blackberry bubbles (delicious), and a standard coffee (w/bailey's).

This is my new favorite place in Seattle! The whole experience was great! Walked in on a Saturday night to finish watching a football playoff game. There isn't much seating which is the only downside but we were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar. The bartenders were very nice and friendly and glad to help us with any questions or requests. They checked on us periodically to make sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the BBQ Chicken with coleslaw and pork belly and my husband got the pulled pork nachos. We also ordered 1/4lb of brisket to share. The brisket was easily the best I've had within city limits. It was love at first taste. It was what I've been searching for since I moved here from Dallas. I was so happy to find it. The chicken was also very delicious and moist. The coleslaw looked questionable but then turned out to taste awesome. The pork belly just rounded off an amazing meal. The sauce is just a little spicy which I loved. My husband loved his nachos so much that he ate the whole tray! Can't wait to come back here soon. I only wish they had more seating.

Had been here a few times with friends pre-pandemic. Happy to see they request masks on while inside and not eating/drinking. There's a cute patio in the back. The food menu, like a lot of places slowly emerging, is short and simple but lacks a lunch. I had the Backyard Burger, which was slider-sized but somehow felt like I ate a whole regular-sized burger. Shared deviled eggs with a friend, who also had the Frito Chili Pie and loved it (it's basically nachos, with Fritos for chips and chili on top.) Staff were friendly and helpful! And they had the Sounders game on inside. Plus, they're open until midnight -- a rarity in these days, it seems!

Enjoying the local beers @ the backyard, super cool place to hang out and just enjoy watching some football or even just enjoy a really good food. I didn't enjoy any food but from the menu everything sounds appealing and really good to enjoy.

3 for food and 4 for overall experience/atmosphere. I couldn't decide between the two, but the service was nice and really friendly plus there's games to play insisde so I settled on 4 stars. We were craving BBQ and came here around 9pm on a Monday (Labor Day) so it was fairly empty. We actually tried to go to Wood Shop BBQ first, but they ran out of stuff so this seemed like the next best option. The entrance is separate and around the corner in the alley. Sat at the bar and got to order/get our drinks + food pretty fast. I went with the Backyard BBQ plate that with ribs, mac n cheese, and a biscuit. The sauce for the ribs comes on the side. The meat falls right off the bone, but to me was kind if bland and not super juicy even with the sauce. I think it I liked the sauce more it would have been better overall. The mac is suuuuper cheesy after you get through the top layer and the biscuit was solid. My friend's brisket was ok and the fries are hand cut aka delicious. I'd come back to try other stuff and just chill, it seemed pretty mellow so I wonder what it's like on the weekends.

My wife and I were craving baby back ribs on a Sunday night at 10pm. As you can imagine not a lot of choices, except your local Applebee. So we ventured to Backyard based on a couple of filter choices and using open now and it had already solid reviews in the 4 months it's been open. It's located in a new and revitalizing part of Columbia City off Rainier, which used to be a pretty sketchy neighborhood but thanks to Amazon and Microsoft going through some serious gentrification. Street parking is a pain but it does have 4 spaces dedicated to it and nearby Rookies (same owners). Backyard has quite a number of beers on tap, which I didn't try and a decent selection of cocktails and spirits. The service and food are impeccable. Katie who was a one woman show, was cordial and prompt. That night she was a host, bartender, and waitress. She did phenomenal given the constant flow of patrons and served the food piping hot. Now onto the food. I ordered poutine, which was OK. I don't know why us Americans butcher such a simple comfort food dish by adding sauce and toppings. Just stick with fries, cheese curds, and hot gravy, right? But instead they added BBQ sauce and meat, which made for an OK experience as it cooled the dish down to not melt the cheese. But it had great portions and fills you up for 10$. The other entree was Backyard BBQ plate, which had a choice of Ribs or Smoked Briskett, and choice of 2 sides. We chose the ribs, which were dry rubbed vs wet, sauce does come on the side. And went with slaw and hand cut fries with aioli. The ribs were delicious, the meat fell right off the bone once pulled apart, and I like dry rub since you can add the right amount sauce to your taste versus being drenched in most Bbq places. The handout fries and aioli sauce was good. Slaw was "meh", it didn't have enough sweetness. The complimentary biscuit was yummy. It had a brick oven smoke finish to it. Next time, I'll order a couple to take home and try the brisket. But good food and value for just 16$. We'll be back.

This place might be a little tricky to find, but worth the search. (Hint: it's attached to the popular Columbia City sports bar Rookies... in the back, in the alley.) If you live in the Columbia City neighborhood, and you've got a craving for some great BBQ, this is your place! Their staff are friendly and will always take care of you. The food is tasty, and you can pretty much rely on anything on the menu. This is also one of the BEST SPOTS in South Seattle to watch Seattle Seahawks games on Sundays. I swear, I haven't been to a bar that chants "SEA.... HAWKS!" louder than the crowd in there. So you'll most DEF find the 12th Man in this place. It's well worth checking out.

Backyard Seattle is a bar in the heart of Columbia City which was created with the idea of creating a hang out place for grown ups. They have a ton of events to keep their customers engaged and provide meaningful hangouts for their community members. A fun fact, that made me appreciate the space more: the interiors of the bar were designed and hand built by the owner of Backyard Seattle. How cool is that?! Parasol Cocktail A refreshing cocktail made with lillet, elderflower liquor, honey, lemon, and champagne. The perfect yummy spritz for a post work hangout I asked for seconds on this one Simple House Salad Made with mixed greens, tomato, white cheddar, sunflower seeds, and white balsamic vinaigrette. So refreshing and filling too! My body was reminded of how long it's been since I've eaten veggies and I kept wanting more of it. Deviled Eggs Deviled eggs with smoked pork belly, pickled shallots, and chives. So creamy and full of flavor! Mac and cheese I feel like I don't even have to say anything, just a simple and perfect Mac and cheese. Smokehouse Wings Dry rubbed wings, smoked and slow roasted over-night with habanero ranch! Omg these were so tasty my mouth was watering on the first look at them. Only thing is they were a tiny bit too dry for my liking. Brisket Poutine (without meat just for me!) Crispy fries, cheese curds, gravy, chipotle aioli, and chives. A little too salty for me overall and didn't find any unique flavor in it. House Made Nachos House made chips, chicken, queso, shredded cheese, baked beans, pickled peppers, tomato, olives, sour cream, and chipotle barbecue. Loved the texture of the house made chips but overall this was also a little too salty for me.

"F*ck x 6" *smashes pots and pans*. This is how we were greeted when we placed our food order 20 minutes before the kitchen closed. When we were first seated the waiter told us the kitchen was open so we proceeded to order. We even asked again if we could place a food order and the waiter said "yes". As we were drinking our cocktails, we began to hear a ruckus coming from the kitchen, we couldn't believe what we saw. The cook was in the back screaming expletives making a scene while making us uncomfortable. We did not feel comfortable here.

So glad we came here! The bartender was also server for the WHOLE bar and you wouldn't even notice because he was that good! Only reason I noticed was because I'm nosey and I'm always looking at everything. The food was so good! Not your typical bar food. I don't even like pizza bites but I liked it here. It didn't even taste or look like pizza bites. The crust was so crispy! My ribs were delicious! Took it home because it was too much food and my dog stole it from me! Can't blame him though. It was delicious! I liked the overall set up too. Super clean. You can play pool and darts here! Lots of open space to do whatever you want!

This is a quaint, cool little sports bar tucked in to the Columbia City neighborhood. Damn...their food was really good!! I LOVE corndoggies and these guys make some yummmmy corndoggies! Get those if you like corn dogs. I also got the deviled eggs, pizza bites and their ribs. All were exceptional! I was blown away and know I would come back for food alone. The service was also really good on top of it! Friendly bartender and staff. I like sports so they had a ton of TVs with different games on. This place is great! Ranch dressing is also on point! Compliments to the chef and pleeeeease don't change that. If a place has bad ranch dressing that's no bueno for me. Highly recommend this place

Came in for a drink and stayed for dinner but I'm SO HAPPY that I did! I started with the Laura Palmer which is a rosemary infused vodka cocktail, super tasty. Then I decided to get the brisket and mac and cheese. The brisket was cooked to perfection and the mac and cheese was one of the best mac and cheeses I've had in Seattle... no joke! This place is easily overlooked because it sits behind Rookies, but seriously worth a visit :)

Could I as City's best kept secret!!!!!! Brisket sandwich! HAND CUT fries! Corn dog poppers and a surprisingly quiet atmosphere for a sports bar. My new favorite haunt!

WOW!!!... They served me cold ribs and beef brisket! I've never had that happen before. The server at the bar shared how they smoked them overnight, and heat them to temperature on order.... Sadly, ive had better, fresher, tasting ribs from Costco! At least the server worked to make amends, but can never eat BBQ there again.... DEFINITELY VISIT EMMA'S IN COLUMBIA CITY or JACK'S IN GEORGETOWN if you want the best BBQ in the area!

I can't believe these people successfully sold me trash. $3 for the driest biscuit imaginable, my boyfriend had to dip his in water. I never got mine, so I'm honestly grateful. Didn't add the bacon to his burger but charged us for it - nice. Couldn't manage to cook the beans all the way and forgot to add flavored them as well, which is an oxymoron. And the absolute most dry, flavorless, saddest attempt of ribs I have ever eaten in my life. This wasn't my first choice for BBQ tonight but my goodness. Now I know that if my first choice isn't open, to just abandon all hope. I don't even ever use Yelp to write reviews but I feel like these people owe me money. DO NOT BOTHER. If you come here don't do it because you want actual barbecue. This isn't that.

Very fun atmosphere, nothing extra ordinary but an awesome neighborhood gay bar. Staff is very friendly, appetizer like food menu good for sharing

My husband and I love Rookies, so I dragged him here when we wanted to grab a drink but couldn't find a spot at Rookies. I'd been hearing about it and needed an excuse to check it out. I'm so glad we did! It seems like such a fun place. I love how open the space is and how chill it is. I only ordered a beer so I can't really speak to their drinks (but the beer selection was plentiful) but my husband had a Manhattan he seemed to enjoy. People were playing darts and generally having a grand old time. We had to catch a movie so we couldn't stay long, but I'll definitely be back!

We live in CC and love Rookies (go there at least a couple of times a month). We'd been meaning to try their sister property, Backyard, for months now, and tonight finally did. Sadly, we left disappointed. First, the overall vibe was just dull. Granted we were there pretty early and maybe things pick up as the evening goes on. But, despite being reasonably busy, it was just soooo quiet. Rookies is always hopping, no matter the hour, so we were surprised that it was so much less so here. Our biggest disappointment, though, was the bang for our buck. We enjoyed our food, but thought the serving sizes were not worth the prices charged. We started with an order of deep-fried cheese curds with marinara. We thought we were getting these at the happy hour price. [This was our mistake. We thought the happy hour was every day, but it is only M-F. The $5 HH price would have been about right for these; the $8 regular price was a bit above the odds. (And, we probably would have not ordered them had we realized we'd be paying full price.)] But, the sandwiches. OMG! I ordered the "Chicken in a Biscuit," which is described on the menu as "smoked chicken breast, melted white cheddar, tomato, herb-mayo on our house made biscuit." Per this, I thought I'd be getting an actual chicken breast; but, I, in fact, got only a few slivers of meat. I actually wondered at one point if they'd forgotten to add the chicken as there was so little of it (and, what was there was kinda masked by the cheese and mayo). It tasted fine, but hardly worth the $9 price tag for what was essentially a small biscuit with some topping. My husband ordered the burger, which more closely resembled an actual burger, but, he felt, was still about half the size he was expecting. His overall comment was a lament of how much further the money we paid would have gone at Rookies. I guess we're glad we finally checked out Backyard (?). We'll definitely continue to patronize Rookies. But, as far as Backyard is concerned, we are one and done.

LOVE this place!! Finally a place to play pool, big buck hunter, darts and pinball all in the same place! Amazing food!!!! Always great bartenders/servers/service! Great vibe, clean, awesome atmosphere! Definitely worth a stop if you're close!

So glad I didn't order to pick up can even find the place kept on telling us that it was rookies This place is very hard to find, no sign outside letting people know it's location. Seem like they don't care too much for me and my wife business anyways

My expectations were low and Backyard exceeded in every way. We met a couple friends to watch ALCS game tonight here at their suggestion. Shared the pimento cheese dips, brisket poutine, deviled eggs, and nuts to start before moving on to share the burger and chicken on a biscuit. Over all the food was a very solid 4 for pub food and service was a 5. I would absolutely comes back and try more from the menu. Atmosphere was good, we were able to watch the game and listen to some 90s jams -- who could ask for more? Great game day hangout. Pleasant surprise!

Loved the atmosphere in here. This may be because we were there during trivia and surrounded by a bunch of people having fun. But the menu looked great (we only had fries, that were crispy and the right amount of salt). There were only two bartenders but we never felt like we were ignored, they were very attentive. Definitely looking forward to visiting again. We hadn't been in the neighborhood before and now have a reason to visit. Maybe for another trivia night or to try more food!

Great bar. Food is excellent, drinks are top notch. The thing that sets it apart are the people. Welcoming, friendly and really look after their customers. All kinds of fun events - karaoke, trivia, drag queens, summer outdoor games - and more. You won't be disappointed.

Food so good it will make your face melt! Well designed bar to sit in right behind its big sister rookies (Same awesome owners, without the yappy kids!) great selection of craft cocktails and local beers with a "Backyard BBQ" feel. Don't forget the pizza bites!

A great place for after-work drinks. Good happy hour food/drink selection and price. Fried cheese curds!

We attended an Oscar Party at the Backyard and were really impressed. Fun crowd, friendly staff, and excellent food. It's pretty far from where we live, about 45 minutes away, but we'll definitely return.

Backyard has some great food, great drinks, and friendly staff. And some good bar games as well. Five stars for big buck hunter.

I had the smoked chicken it was great I was surprised on the size and costs. Mac n cheese was good too even though I'm trying to watch eating pasta I finished it all. Had a great time it was a Seafair kick off event with a beer pong contest. Great drinks and had fun conversation with some ladies visiting from Cincinnati, The service was great and I'll be back. Columbia city has changed a lot over the years I'm loving this area more and more. The summer beat walk events once a month is fun I've made it to a few.

I have eaten in and gotten delivery from here, so I have tried a fair amount of their menu. If you eat in, go early, it's not so packed and feels pretty spacious. The bartenders/servers are attentive enough. The food is pretty good. Decent portions. I really like the poutine fries! I thought the ribs were just okay. The brisket is better than the ribs. The biscuit sandwiches are good, but seem a little small. It seems kind of spendy, but that's because I get it delivered. I'd go back to eat in and also have it delivered again.

Wings and pizza bites were great. Awesome cocktail and beer list. Friendly place, we will definitely be back to try more food and drinks.

Food here is really good, just takes forever ! Would love to make this a regular neighborhood bar, but it's frequently too crowded and the people I've encountered will NOT make room or invite you in . I think the staff should be encouraging table sharing and meeting people . Instead they let 2 people occupy a table for 6 and say nothing .

Food not that great and the customer service is lacking. I typically don't write reviews but I'm disappointed at the services I experienced and won't be back.

Great neighborhood bar that featured a great soul jam band on a Sunday evening (amazing Woogie D, Mark Mattrey, Thaddeus Turner and Curtis on keys)So fun! Just went for a drink but at a glance the menu had me wanting to try it. Next time!

Cute whole in the wall bar. The location fits the name :D I loved their nachos and board games. The ambience makes me want to come back and grab more nachos. Yummy :)

Don't order Uber eats from this place. You won't get half your items. Missing 18 dollars worth of food and the Carolina sandwich we ordered had zero sauce, zero pickles. Maybe this place is fine in person, but delivery is no bueno.

I love backyard bar!! as a south seattle local it's a great place for tasty late night food, and affordable drinks! SOCCER PIN BALL!!!! so fun. what really keeps me coming in, is the staff. Lauren, our bartender, was so friendly, knowledgeable, open, and consistent. she was the only bartender staffed but handled the clientele with such ease while making us all laugh. I had the burger, Mac and cheese, and the Cobb. So tasty!! definitely gotta come back to try the darts. I also loved the LGBT friendliness! came with my girlfriend and loved all the pride flags on the wall. will definitely come back, especially when Lauren is working.

POUTINE! Yum!!! Backyard does it right! I also love getting the cheese curds. and deviled eggs. and pizza bites. and pizza. Every time I come I get something different because everything is so good! The brisket sandie is delish and I love the BBQ plate bc I get a biscuit in addition to sides. The pea salad's peas have the perfect pop plus bacon and cheddar chunks oh my! As for the bar - generous pours and always tastes just right. Plus great beer selection on tap. Service is fast and friendly. Very attentive and helpful. It's fun to play darts and the juke box. There's a pool table too and sweet TVs. Overall great addition to the neighborhood and love that it's 21+ to get a break from the kids!!

Ordered pickup. Food definitely not worth the price. For some reason I thought I would get fries with a $13+ burger that is more the size of a slider, my mistake. Atmosphere was loud but seems like a fun spot, but won't be getting food again

The new extension of Rookies is the perfect neighborhood sports bar! The staff is great, there are about 10 beers on tap, and the pub food is delicious. They have tons of hanging TV's, a pool table, big buck hunter and darts! This will definitely be my new spot for watching games in Columbia city!
