Rookies Bar

Great sports bar! Friendly staff and regular customers. The perfect neighborhood spot.

Cozy and friendly for a sports bar! my favorite hidden SA watering hole. A nice variety of bar games to play as well, including shuffleboard, darts, and video poker. not a huge selection of beers on tap but I’m just a Bud girl. love the display of vintage beer cans on the wall too, back when you needed a churchkey to open them!

It was a nice bar friendly people cheap beer kinda old looking bartender was nice kinda young got more people around ten not from San Antonio but go back again

Loved this bar it was so clean, nice, and quiet. Which I know is weird for bar. For someone like me who doesn’t like big crowds where the bar takes to long this place was very nice. I keep going back even my boyfriend loved it

THIS is my neighborhood bar. I am known for being wordy and will try and put it as simply as I can, because Rookies is a simple place.
Good, cozy atmosphere. Awesome owner and staff. Friendly people. Fun activities. Chill environment. Great drinks. There’s a reason this place always wins SA’s Best Dive Bar in the Current. Check it out one casual night– you will not be disappointed.

I love Rookies. It’s a great bar to watch the Spurs and just hang out, especially when the other bar a few doors down gets too packed. I don’t consider this a dive bar. It’s a great, old fashioned sports bar without the frills. There’s shuffleboard, a cabinet full of board games, and machine darts – what more do you need? Seating is somewhat limited depending on the night – I think there’s a shuffleboard league that plays here.
Beer selection is limited, but you do get more of a variety than miller light, bud, and dos equis. One of the bartenders introduced me to a beer drink called a Snakebite – it’s fantastic and I highly recommend you trying it! The drinks and beer are cheap and the bartender is friendly. Overall it has a homey feel to it that continues to bring me back.
If you’re in the area try it out. If you’re looking for the hottest «spot» in SA, this definitely isn’t the place for you. But for good, cheap beer and friendly people, you’ll have a hard time finding a better place. Cheers!

I’m not gonna lie, when my bro’s girlfriend told him that ‘everyone’ was meeting at Rookies, I was a little put off. It’s in a random shopping strip off 410 by a Pizza Hut and not even the Pizza Hut where the manager puts up funny phrases on the sign.
‘Fine, I’ll go’ I said. Lo and behold this place was a perfect dive bar. Cheep beers, your typical bar games and solid tunes on an internet-​connected TouchTunes® Jukebox. The beer selection is a little limited but that only adds to the place, to be honest. It’s probably not the best place to ‘pick up chicks’ but if you are looking to get some cheap drinks and then soak it up with Whataburger later (there’s one nearby), this is your place.

I’m not much for writing long reviews, so I’ll keep this short and sweet.
I love this place… wall-​to-​wall wood paneling, shuffleboard, and cool people. What else do you need?
