Rocco's Tavern -Culver City

I can never pass up this hot bowl of delicious soup served with extra garlic bread, which is simply irresistible. The wings are also fantastic, always cooked to perfection and flavorful. Plus, their buy-one-get-one happy hour offers an incredible deal, allowing me to enjoy more of my favorite dishes without breaking the bank.

It's a nice place to sit and enjoy the evening. Happy hour goes untill 7 PM, 1+1. Best view of Culver city intersection. Food quality is good. Try pizza and onion rings. I really had good time. Service is good. Just a suggestion, it should have QR code for complete menu and it's price. Many of drinks price were missing in menu specially beer. But overall a good place to visit..

The burger & beers were great! My friend & I were there early in the day. It wasn't crowded. We had a good time.

Five stars for the casual welcoming vibe! Bravo to Jeffrey who greeted us and told us to sit wherever we like! This is not a fancy place. It's casual and friendly. Full service restaurant! We chose to sit at the bar. The barstools have no back support, but they do have hooks underneath to hold purses and jackets! My Gin and Tonic was refreshing! My husband ordered a Lagunitas beer on tap. We shared a custom 10" pizza. It came piping hot! The pizza was perfect to share for a snack for two. It was tasty! Bathrooms were clean. Front outdoor patio is dog friendly! Thank you Jeffrey for the kind service!

This place is awesome. It's just a sturdy brick building that looks like it was once an auto shop, but the atmosphere inside makes you want to walk right in and grab a chair. We got their White Pie, which is an Alfredo pizza. I was very happy with it. I'm Italian. I can tell good Alfredo when I taste it. These guys make the best one I've had in a restaurant.

Management treated me poorly. All they had to do was turn back on a baseball game they just turned off in the bottom 8th. The manager/bartender said he couldn’t because the boss said so.

Rocco's wings are crispy and delicious and the beer selection is solid. They have TV screens lining the walls with sports and the service is absolutely fantastic! I'll be back anytime I get a hankering for hot wings and a cold brew...and you should do the same! Maybe next time I should try the pizza, what else is good here?

Receptionist lady is super kind and on top of things. Such a great start to have the happy hour beer (cones in two pints) plus buffalo wings. Thick fries are great with garlic ranch dip. Pizza was great. We were seated near the kitchen and saw professional movements of cooks. Wow!

Ambiance: it's crowded and old fashioned sports bar located in downtown culver, lack of maintenance, shared restroom with another lounge Service: slow and forgetful, never served utensils even after asking, didn't refill water Food & Drink: typical bad food, wings, pizza and others Housemade Meat Ball Parmigiana Hero - **** meatballs made with their secret recipe served on a toasted hero roll with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, crispy fries and flavorful meatball and cheese, recommend 10" Deluxe Pie Up to 5 toppings - **** Pepperoni, Sausage, Meatballs, Green Peppers, Canadian Bacon, creamy and tasty, recommend ANGEL CITY BLONDE - *** light taste Price: generous portions and affordable prices, about $25~$30 per person, set your expectations properly, if you're going to a dive bar and fine with their lack of service, the food is pretty good, if you're expecting a great restaurant experience, you'll be disappointed here

Classic sports bar ambiance! I use to come here regularly for NFL Sunday. That said, the space is small and fills up quickly so you need to get there before 10AM on sundays if you want to snag a spot. The staff is always nice! Food is average, nothing special. Some things are better then others. The drinks are decently priced and they have a good happy hour but I have had a few draft beers that were flat and not as cold as they should be. Overall, if you can get a seat, the vibes and old- school sports bars aesthetics are great! But don't expect an elevated dining experience.

I love coming here and have always had a great time with family and friends. There would be occasions when we would go in to enjoy a game while consuming tasty food and beverages. The wings are so amazing in my opinion! We have had so many good times here and it has always been one of the go-to spots after a shift. If you were having a rough day, this would be a place to just take a break from it all and enjoy the aura. Parking is pretty close and I usually park in a structure nearby. This location is a cool joint!

Great place to watch the games. Came here with a decent size group to watch our team lose (I'm being realistic this season). We had a nice corner booth table that we could see all the TVs. Our server was amazing and sympathetic with our team's high and lows. We got our hopes up with our team actually playing well while enjoying their brunch items and then just drowned our sorrows with some pizza at the end of the game. All in all a fun time. Have always liked this place, we'll be back.

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Thursday evening and got ID'ed at the door, which wasn't a problem but also wasn't expecting to get ID'ed. We luckily found a table with seating right away, since the bar was packed by the time we got there. The service was great. We ordered the chicken wings and a margherita pizza and it wasn't the best we've had. The chicken was a bit dry, though the sauce helped liven it up. I ordered the 10 piece but it definitely came with more than 10 pieces, which I appreciated but I wasn't able to finish the whole thing. My friend ordered the margherita pizza and it was okay, maybe a 3/5. Flavor wasn't really there and it was weird to have chunks of tomato on top. Food wasn't the greatest but the atmosphere was nice and energetic. It was a bit loud so it was hard to hear each other while talking, but overall, not a bad place to check out. There's a cozy little bar in the back of the restaurant, which I highly recommend checking out!!! Great drinks, great ambiance and live music. It was the perfect way to end the night.

trinity thank you for your health. Such a nice girl. The service was amazing. The food is good. The drink good and you can watch the best games here.

Came here with a group of 5 on a Friday evening for dinner/drinks and to watch an NBA finals game. All inside seating was taken but there were plenty of tables available in their outdoor alleyway patio. We caught the tail end of happy hour which the waitress informed us was 2 for 1 drinks. We were able to get a really large beer for the price of the pint which was a fantastic deal. Viewing the drink menu/happy hour menu was confusing. I didn't see happy hour listed anywhere, and the QR code only brings up "speciality cocktail" drinks without showing any of their beer or other beverage options. I got the individual 10 inch white pizza and it was soooo good. Garlicky, high quality tasting, gooey cheesy, and a firm crust. It's a decent size, I was barely able to finish the whole thing being very hungry, but not big enough for 2 people to share. Our friends ordered 20 wings, and they only brought out 11 wings. That was a huge discrepancy in the amount that we ordered (and paid for) and how many they actually brought. We brought this up to our server, and they kindly brought an additional 10 piece order of wings. The outdoor patio alleyway is very bland. There was only one TV set up throughout the entire area even during a massive sporting event, with another TV just facing the wall? Overall, the food is very good and the prices are fair when you catch them on happy hour, but there is definitely some attention to detail that needs improving.

Absolutely love Rocco's! It's a lovely dive bar with great drinks and the food is yummy! Service is always great!

Service was mid. Sat at table for over 20 minutes with empty beer before waitress asked if I wanted another...then it took another 15 minutes for that to come. Waitress had us close our tab and told us we'd be getting a new server...but it took us flagging down another (confused) employee to get another round...apparently he didn't know he had our table. Our first tab had a Modelo wrongly rung in as a Sam Adams Oktoberfest for $9, but a Modelo was definitely served, second tab had it correctly for $8. I'm not hurting over $1 but it's just the point. Likely won't come back

Worst-kept secret in the Culver area, and probably the best sports crowd you'll get that isn't at a college. It's open-air, so it gets hot in the summer. I watched most of the World Cup here, sometimes standing outside. Great spot during the week. Pizza and burgers are good. If you go for a game, definitely arrive early. They usually have a cover for PPV and big games. Overall it's good vibes, good staff, and I love that it's open late along with the kitchen.

Entering an establishment for the first time is always a good way to explore and support local businesses. My group and myself decided to check out Rocco's Tavern. The waitress was awesome greeted us at the entrance and made us feel welcomed. We went during the day, this seemed like a cool little family restaurant. This was our initial impression, then things took a big turn. Our friend is food sensitive and can't have foods that are crossed with other ingredients. He went to a different restaurant and got his food with the intent to join us at the "family" restaurant. He finally made it back and sat with us. A few minutes later the waitress brought over our food which had great presentation and was prepared well, chef was great. As we were all about to dig in, a lady on her laptop who seemed to be the owner rudely informed us that our friend would have to leave as they don't allow outside foods because of "liability". For a place that seems to pride themselves on "family values", the owner made us feel uncomfortable and we decided to grab our things and go. If you are looking for a place to grab a bite to eat! There are definitely better options nearby, maybe give those a shot as they will most definitely be more welcoming and friendly. This goes to show being kind can go a long way. We chose to eat there today but won't be returning. Please do better and be more inclusive.

We came to Rocco's recently since we were familiar with the Pasadena location. This location is a little smaller but similar menu. Pizza's here are good but stay away from the sausage & peppers sandwich, way too salty. I believe they do have double Happy Hour which is a bonus.

This is my favorite local sports bar. This is also my favorite pizza and all of the food is pretty good. To be honest the drinks are OK, but 3pm-7pm is happy hour and the drinks are 2 for 1. My favorite drink is the Side Car. If you are going to see a big sporting event I suggest you get there early as it gets packed.

To Chris, You let our big, rowdy party in an hour before closing, and served us with compassion, expertise, and enthusiasm. It was the perfect cherry on top of a beautiful evening. Thank you, friend. Keep doing exactly what you're doing.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Lol Came here with the bestie when they opened and it was the best. We overindulged in all of the things we wanted and let me tell you, we didn't regret it. Everything was so freshly done and the wings were super saucy. Pizza was bomb and I like that it was a personal size one which was perfect for the both of us. Staff was friendly and chill, cool little spot.

Love it here & Michelle is boss af!!!! Football games go off here, great place to watch sports!!

My girlfriend and I (we are two women) experienced discrimination at Rocco's last Tuesday; the waitress would not take our order. We went to Rocco's to get a bite to eat and a drink. We entered and sat down and waited for her to come to our table. She didn't come, even though I repeatedly made eye contact with her and was signalling that we were ready to order. Rather than helping us, she took care of the straight couples and groups of guys that came in after we did, going to their tables and taking their orders. She went back and forth helping them and completely ignored us. I informed that manager that the waitress had ignored us, but he shrugged and said he didn't care. We left and went to Headlines diner & grill and had such a nice evening. If you think people should not discriminated against, don't eat here.

Love this local joint! They have others in different cities as well, like in West Hollywood, and Studio City... what I like the most about Rocco's is that you're at a bar that feels like you're not necessarily at a bar everyone is cool everyone is friendly the food is great. The waitstaff is amazing! I I happened to have the pleasure of having Annie wait on me and Jeff behind the bar! You can't mess with that combination. It was amazing! Those guys got it together!!!

I like coming here to meet friends! The first time I was here it was a great time and so I have been here like 5 times again. The food is great and it's a full bar. The ambience here is great and welcoming always. The service is always great as well.

This spot has been a go to for years for a bunch of teachers from Hamilton High School. I've always enjoyed the fun and festive atmosphere and the 2 for 1 happy hour special is awesome. Recently, I ordered their grilled artichoke which was DELICIOUS and a small pepperoni pizza, extra thin crust, and yummmmm. I almost wish I didn't know how good these options are when it comes to counting calories. It's always pretty packed for happy hour, but we always manage to find a spot. Friendly bartenders.

While I was in LA I went to Rocco's Tavern with my brother and close friend to watch the Lakers game vs Suns. There is a small lounge in the back of this restaurant. Donnie, bartender and host, did a great job hosting us. The pizza was fresh and delicious. The vibe and energy of the venue was light around 8pm but was more lively towards the end of the evening.

Drinks were solid, but pizza fries were borderline inedible. Maybe will come back, but won't order food.

Yea I got an AMF, get over it. 2 as a matter of fact since it was 2 for 1 drinks. The italian fries were alright but the garlic aioli sauce was amazing. The wings though... This was the second time getting the boneless wings and they're incredible. According to my friend Franco, they're the best wings he's ever had. You know what, he's got a point. Anyway, I'll definitely be back for an AMF sooner or later.

Love them!! From the delicious pizza crew!! always love the staff and the food is real good!

Five stars for the casual welcoming vibe! Bravo to Jeffrey who greeted us and told us to sit wherever we like! This is not a fancy place. It's casual and friendly. Full service restaurant! We chose to sit at the bar. The barstools have no back support, but they do have hooks underneath to hold purses and jackets! My Gin and Tonic was refreshing! My husband ordered a Lagunitas beer on tap. We shared a custom 10" pizza. It came piping hot! The pizza was perfect to share for a snack for two. It was tasty! Bathrooms were clean. Front outdoor patio is dog friendly! Thank you Jeffrey for the kind service!

A staple in Downtown Culver City. The food is always made fresh. My particular favorite is the salad and adding a side of salmon.

First of all I'm always looking for a good slice of pepperoni pizza.. finally I found it! One of the best I've had! Happy hour was great too. It started at 3.. no food but cocktails 2 for 1.

Good happy hour and a cool place to watch live sports. Pizza is alright but the rest of the food is better than average.

Friendly staff. Wide selection of drinks and food. Onion rings were battered perfectly, came out nice and hot. Dry rub wings are exclnt, as are buffalo wings. I've had pepperoni pizza here, and it's better than some fine dining pizza pies. Not what you'd expect at a sports bar.

Good boneless wings, but a little on the pricy side. Total was $17 for 10 wings, I had 5x hot honey and 5x Baltimore dirty style. The Baltimore flavor was amazing, would get all 10 that flavor next time. Dry rub style, super tasty and the dry rub allowed for good crisp. Hot honey was meh, honestly tasted like a grocery store bought Buffalo sauce. Will be back for the wings! And the HH deal (2 for 1 drinks) is awesome as well.

Rocco's Tavern is my new favorite for happy hour. I got what looked like 2 pints for $9 for their beers on tap. It's lively inside with a lot of people, because this is a good deal. There is a sports bar vibe, so if you don't like a bunch of large TVs all around, then skip it, but if you like sports or don't mind the bright TVs, I highly recommend this place for a small group, dates, or even if you're solo and want to hang by the bar and watch a game.

Poor food quality for the price. The employees look sad as though the owners don't care about their wellbeing. Great service nonetheless

I had the occasion to visit Rocco's in Culver City after a sacrificial walking tour of downtown Culver City. All I can say is wow, what the f? I believe the tables we were offered may been wiped down as recently as 2019. Disgusting and gross, it set the tone of the experience. How long to get a beer? 15 minutes. Really? This was not looking good at all. Food: wings were outstanding, flavorful and freshly cooked. We ordered twenty and wanted more. Next came the pizza. Very meh. Crust was nearly see through and wouldn't hold the cheese or toppings. It was closer to a melange of cheese, meat, veggies, and surrounded by a small ridge of tasteless dough molded into a circle (sorta). WEAK The circle around the drain continued with a simple order of fries for the table requested as an app. Never came. When reminded, this server went "to check on them" and returned with a sandwich with fries, but forgot about the white fries ordered as an app. More on that later. A companion ordered a Caesar salad and was adamant about NEEDING the croutons omitted due to a severe allergic condition to gluten. He mentioned it twice, and was acknowledged by our server that they would be omitted. The salad came mixed with about two cups of croutons. Unacceptable. It was returned, with a healthy dose of attitude from the server. Our server, ah the memories. Could be the least attentive, accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable yet totally incompetent service that I have experienced in almost 30 years of traveling for business. When someone asks for a GF option, the proper response is not to say "we don't really do that" then back it up by serving a plate full of toasted bread in a salad. Our companion got the pleasure of watching the rest of our party eating their dinner for 20 minutes before a GF salad was provided. A SALAD. Ridiculously unacceptable. When the check came, the white fries that never came were still on the bill and needed to be removed, and the salad was still included instead of being offered to be comped for the unacceptable error. After a spirited exchange with the server, the checks were reconfigured with the white fries and the salad taken out. That's the only thing that earned this dump a second star. Ambience. Cranking house music to the point where patrons need to yell to be heard across the table destroyed any hint of a comfortable ambience. Maybe that's the point. I couldn't wait to leave. Cannot recommend, despite the terrible service, below average food (wings were solid), and wannabe night club ambience. Like my dad used to say, it was good enough to try once.

They charge 3.9% for using a credit card!!! After raising their prices! Their wings are good. Pizza bad, tastes like a frozen pizza. However, I will never go back or forgive them for the credit card fee. It's even higher than what the credit card companies charge them!

I was pleasantly surprised by the bar food! We got the linguini alla checca (olive oil pasta), 10" build your own pizza, and fries. I really really enjoyed the garlicky olive oil pasta sauce. However, the pasta noodles were a little too soft for my preference. The sauce also didn't cling to the noodles. I would pass on the linguini alla checca. The pizza has a deliciously crisp bottom and loads of gooey cheese that pulls away with each bite. My boyfriend and I loved the pizza - definitely get it! The fries were also very nice and crisp. We enjoyed the fries and appreciated the hefty portion. Sadly, we got a little tired of eating fries by the 8th or so mouthful - the fries are better shared by a big group. The portions were very generous and the menu is well-priced. Service was great. Extra bonus, we came on trivia night and had fun guessing answers. Overall, a solid spot for bar food.

A good place to watch sports Great staff (happy hour isn't bad either) Pizza and wings are a definite

Pleasantly surprised at this place Most improbably the pizza was good (right amount of sauce to cheese ratio), and the open air to the sidewalk patio made it very welcoming. Plenty of TVs to view the game, and friendly staff. The draft beer menu is adequate (wish there were more local craft choices). The minestrone soup was pretty good too. All and all a good place for some pizza at a reasonable price

What an inviting friendly place. Caught a Monday night Football game there. The service was great, after the game a guy showed up and did a trivia game that was a lot of fun with the whole place. The beer was ice cold and the food was ridiculously good. They serve large portions so be ready to eat. I had leftovers for two days after.

I had never been here before and met a friend for New Year's Eve day. We sat outside on their outdoor patio and there was one other table occupied out there on the complete opposite side so we felt very safe. Turns out, that morning someone called in sick so they had no patio staff (thanks covid) which was fine we all get it at this point that that's gonna happen. So we had to order inside at the bar. They checked vaccination cards inside but honestly the whole inside area is basically open bc it's open air in there. Knocking one star off only bc the bubbles we ordered were flat but they quickly allowed us to replace them. Also, the fries were not too hot and my Buffalo chicken wrap was yummy but the other half got soggy before I could eat it. Staff was friendly and great especially considering they were stressed having to handle those who called out. I would def go back. I love the area and vibe of the place.

The best pizza & wings in Culver City . Traffic in Culver City is nuts .. idiot politicians only have 1 lane. Plan extra time for traffic.

I recently had the pleasure of eating at rocco's tavern in culver city and it was a great experience, but the food was 2am late night drunk food. I was able to visit the speakeasy bar in the back and then eat here. The garlic parm wings didn't have any parm & it the garlic wasn't cooked properly. The speacial hot sauce was definitely different but it could have been better. The white fries had way too much cheese to fry ratio, but overall it was still a good experience. I definitely couldn't finish all the food!

Best pizza and Italian in LA!!!! Hands down! Just moved here and had some slices.... Great food and service

I like coming here to watch big sporting events. They have a lot of tv screens in the inside of the bar and a couple in the outdoor seating area. Sitting outside is great for people-watching as well. The place fills up pretty fast when there's a really big game on. They don't take reservations so sometimes you have to get lucky to get a seat on days like that. They also have seating in the side alley but it feels secluded from the action and it's not as fun as sitting inside or in the main outdoor area. As for the food and drinks, the portions here are very huge. The chicken parmigiana can feed three people. Also, I ordered a margarita during happy hour and it came in a tall glass. It's good bang for your buck.

I've come here 3 times now and every time has been completely different. The first time my friend and I came during late night happy hour which I believe is 10-12. The security at the front was very kind and friendly making small talk as we looked at the menu. We sat at a table even though there was only a bartender working since the server wasn't taking anymore tables. I don't remember the security's name or the bartenders name but the bartender was an older gentlemen with longer hair, he was super friendly and gave off the best vibe. They played nice oldies music that night and the bartender informed us of happy hour where you get two drinks for the price of one. We only had drinks maybe 3 or 4 rounds and asked if they had any dessert for my friends bday. He brought out a brownie or chocolate cake thing and apologized as they didn't have candles but he took off the dessert from the tab and said it was on the house. He was really the nicest and after going to Jameson pub only once, we decided we liked the decor and music and drinks and mostly service from this place more and said we would come back. That was in June. Fast forward to last week I don't remember exactly what day but we came back and it was a full house. I was wondering what special event they were having as it was completely full. We ordered two micheladas since it was happy hour and instead of bringing us two smaller micheladas they brought out two big ones therefore counting as 4 for 2 micheladas instead of the 2 for 1. The server didn't even ask if we wanted two of the smaller ones or one of the bigger ones, just brought out two big ones. So instead of paying for one that first round it was gonna be 2. We then ordered 10 wings 18.99, pizza fries 13.99 plus 1 for pepperoni, and buffalo cauliflower for about 13.99. The prices might not be exact but it was around that. We didn't think it would be that much food but at least you're getting your moneys worth. The wings were delish, the cauliflower was also good but the pizza fries were not so great. I don't know what I expected but not that, maybe it was the Italian seasoning throwing it off, idk. Then I asked when happy hour ended and he said at 12ish so about 8 mins before midnight we ordered another round of miches. They don't take Apple Pay so we put down a $100 bill. When the bill came he said it was gonna be 20 something dollars more. It was late and we just wanted to go home so we put down the money and left and still left tip but something felt off and when I did the math the next day it didn't make sense. $19 wings plus $15 fries plus $14 cauliflower plus 4 miches at 11.50 should've been 94 plus tax so I don't know how we ended up at 122. The only thing I can think of is he either didn't charge the last round as happy hour price because he didn't put it in on time or that they charged us an extra round for some reason.

Rocco's is what a sports bar should be! Great location, awesome service, and even better food and drinks! It's crazy to say that I've been coming there for over 3 years and I've never had bad service. The pizza is always on point and the staff is always warm and welcoming. It's really just a little treasure in the downtown Culver City area.

Quite packed at 9pm Saturday night but no wait for seating. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and parking in downtown culver (super lively and nicely lit) can be tough but not too bad. Place is a sports bar so has a bunch of TVs with bball, hockey, and baseball playing. Staff are attentive and friendly. Drinks come quick but food took ~30min. Pizza was $15 for 10in and drink was heavy on the alc ;) $13 which is still a bit pricy tho

Lenzinis 241 better wings and price. 20 for 10pc and drink, however at this sad bar you need 40 bucks for 10 pc and a drink along with the pity tip. Forces a one star

I've been to Rocco's Tavern a few times. Burgers are alright... meatball sandwich is decent. Service is good. Sabrina was a very attentive which was appreciated. Outdoor seating is a plus during the pandemic and they're just about the only thing open late in Downtown Culver City besides Rush Street (which I'm not a fan of, lol). They have a good happy hour as well. I'd likely return.

Great sports bar for a drink. Just don't eat here. I love dirty fried food but this is borderline inedible. Cheese fries are my fave and I got a basket of cheese soup no joke. There were a few soggy fries trapped beneath 2 tons of cheese. And my backup Buffalo chicken wrap was the greasiest fall apart burrito ever. Great people though. But Just come to drink.
