Came here because I was highly recommended a good combination of pizza and wings. Our server was very attentive and polite. I have came back here a couple more times to try more food on the menu and it has not failed. The customer service has been great to me the times Ive came here and definitely looking to come back for more. Not to mention the cold beers on tap and good mix drinks.

Arrived shortly after they opened, so early they were still cleaning up the outdoor seating .Server was very attentive until she had to take over tending the bar, but we were done ordering and eating by then.Shared the Mediterranean plate appetizer. Enjoyed it.N/A selection a bit limited (the bright spot being Sam Adams Just The Haze IPA), but had a decent Arnold Palmer as well.Liked their Pint glasses and beer mugs, so we bought 2 of each for our backyard root-beer brew pub.

Our server was fantastic, even though it was packed! All of the servers were squeezing through the crowd. The pizza was delicious, wings perfectly cooked, the house salad is great, though I didnt get any green olives. But, above average food for a sports bar.

This place is a solid go to when you are in Pasadena and just want to chill out and watch a game. The food is okay, beer selection decent, and overall is what you expect. The prices are fair, and it’s just not a bad place to be.

Rocco’s white pie is my favorite. I crave it all the time! Their wings are amazing too so we have trouble deciding between ordering the pizza or wings. We usually end up getting both and having leftovers for days because the pizza is giant lol I don’t think their pastas or appetizers are good but the pizzas and wings are amazing. And you can’t beat their generous happy hours that go to 7pm!Service is always fast but we were served by Studio City location’s manager Bridget who was at the Pasadena location the other night and she was just the best!! So attentive and friendly, even to our little dogs. We had the best service and such a great time thank you :)

The environment is pretty chill and laid back. The first waiter/ host wasn’t that attentive he told us to take a seat outside, never came to our table to offer drinks. He was too busy chatting with customers. After a couple minutes another waiter came by and asked if we preferred to sit inside since the heaters weren’t working (mind you it was kinda chilly outside) so we sat inside and an older gentleman took our orders and brought us our drinks. He was a much better host than the first guy. Anyway chicken Alfredo was too watery and flavorless, maybe needed some Parmesan cheese, never brought it out and we asked for it twice! chicken parmesano was actually very good, spaghetti came with it you get lots of food on the plates are big portions and the original cheese burger meat was kinda dry, got lots of fries tho. The customer service from the only waiter working that night (even tho there were 2 other waiters) was outstanding.

The wings and the pizza were dooopppe. One of my favorite items was the pizza though- the BBQ was one of the best pizzas Ive had in a long time. Theyre also pet-friendly and the 2 for 1 happy hour rules. Another great aspect were the prices. Even though I had a party of 4, the tab didnt exceed 120. Id totally go again.

Stopped for just a drink, ordered the wings which came highly recommend with the Baltimore dirty and WOW could not have been better. Also ordered the garlic and parm which did not disappoint. Stayed for the pizza, again no disappointment.

Came here by chance because I forgot to make a reservation for Gyu-Kaku but I honestly loved the food here! The atmosphere was perfect the food was delicious and it came out very quickly. The waitress was also very nice. 5 stars! Would come again!

These guys are creative in patio seating due to covid restrictions. I love that they let you sit outside and order. Food was really good! But I couldnt give five stars because the service was quite slow. Im sure they ate understaffed and struggling with that issue too balance a budget and stay open. So if youre going, be patient with the service.

The food and the service was excellent. They have a drink special so my son and I ordered a Watermelon mojito and it was amazing. He ordered the half order ceaser chicken salad and he thought it was full order thats how larger the portions are. I ordered the calamari appetizer and that in itself was a meal. The prices are great, the food is awesome and the service was amazing.

Went with my neighbor here to wait while he tried to get his lost iPhone back from an Uber driver. I opted for the pizza, which was great! He had the buffalo chicken wrap which he also enjoyed. It’s a great restaurant with a sports bar type vibe. ALL the major games from NFL, NBA, College, Hockey were on. So I recommend it for watching the games or for their happy hour.

Great spot friendly service, guidelines being followed as well. Our drinks were great, long Island ice tea and Moscow drinks with Tito tequila. The appetizers were super delicious. Got the dry rub and hot BBQ wings, garlic cheese bread with pepperoni. The artichoke dip was the exception however. Our group was not sure how to eat it. Tried digging in and yeah never ordering again. Stringy and chewy after attempting to consume it. The waitress took it off our bill with no backlash which was nice. Definitely a go to spot and would recommend others to try. 🍻

Fantastic experience. Excellent way in which to start the day before and after the Rose Bowl. Alex, at the door, is extremely friendly, and professional. He keeps things organized and moving while making you feel welcome, and an important part of what makes Roccos the fantastic place that it is. Nothing like waffles and beer to prepare to support the lions. #Go PSU Football. #Winner of their 100th Anniversary game.

So we came about an hour before the 7pm happy hour. We ordered drinks. It was busy because of the Stanley cup. Thats fine it was unexpected. They found us a table right away but the waitresses were not aware. So it took over 20 mins to get a order in. The drink that was recommended was absolutely horrible. I switched that out and got a new one and ordered food which was so long so they comped it. Like a restaurant should. Overall thank you but I most likely will not be coming back here. Its not worth the hype.

They card non-white people here! Friend who is 62 and white not carded. I’m 60 and not white and carded even when I show a photo of my id. I leave it in my car. Never going here again. The bouncer sucks!

Solid sports bar. Its not really my scene, but sports fans were very lively. The food was solid. I got wings with their 911 sauce. It was very spicy, but had a really good flavor. The pizza was also really good. Overall, not my favorite place, but a solid pick to enjoy some sports, drink a beer, and hang out with friends.

I wish the reviews of this place seemed more authentic. So that I could have avoided this attack on my tastebuds. I came for lunch and ordered one of the lunch specials, a salad and a hero. The salad was ok. The dressing was a little weird but edible. The hero was saved by the sauce. And the sauce wasn’t even that good. Pretty much a tomato mashed. The “margarita” grew on me... because I fell for the happy hour get two of the same drink at once deal. I knew immediately from the color that it would be 40% orange juice, and pulpy orange juice at that. I’m usually overly positive in my reviews, but i want to save someone else. The service was perfect, the food was less than. The open air seating is lovely. But probably stick to beer and the wings (supposedly the wings are the winner here).

Tonight was my first time coming to Roccos and I had the worst experience in the matter of 15 minutes. We came to support a friend on their birthday and 5 minutes into being a patron security walked up to us and said you cant purchase drinks because you look like you are drunk. We had only been there for 5 minutes. We hadnt had any alcohol prior to arriving and we wasnt allowed to purchase alcohol based on the assumption that we were under the influence. We were the only 2 patrons, my brother and I who were told we couldnt purchase alcohol. We showed no sign of being alleged inebriated whatsoever. The worst customer service is to be profiled. I will never go back to Roccos.

This Tavern is an open air design, which gives it a very spacious feeling. The menu prices are very reasonable amd the food delicious. My husband was excited to get Peroni Beer on tap- he is European amd siad he has never had Peroni Beer here in the United States. The service was excellent as well. There are a dozen or so large screen TVs in Tavern, all with sports playing. Most people were watching Baseball the day we attended. Although I am not a sports fan, I still enjoyed watching the game. I highly recommend this establishment- give it a try! You wont be disappointed

Ive been a resident in the area for quite some time and have visited Roccoes Tavern on several occasions. This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of being served by Joi during lunch, and she was absolutely exceptional. Having worked in customer service myself, I know firsthand the challenges of managing multiple tasks while ensuring top-notch client experiences. Joi exhibited kindness and remarkable attentiveness throughout my visit, ensuring I was well taken care of the entire time. Roccoes has undeniably secured a place in my heart as one of my favorite local bars. I wholeheartedly recommend this place, especially Joi, for her outstanding service.

Honestly one of my favorite bars to go to in town. Ive enjoyed almost all the food there, and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Bartenders know how to mix drinks and tend the bar, even when crowded I havent gone long without a refill. Shout out to Betty and Chris! Also dog friendly!

Awesome service from both our servers.. The wings and sandwiches were fabulous. Had my March Madness event there and it seemed like the service went level 1000. Never had to ask for a refill or worry about ordering food, The servers were there taking our orders. Thanks for providing an awesome experience. Recently visited this venue. 2nd review. New requirement of Vax Card to enter, which we should all have by now. Same good vibe same friendly Staff. Good times

Went today at 2:15pm, 10/10/23. 9 patrons. Bartender. The server with blond hair on the phone. From the time we walked in to seating ourselves to walking out, not one greeting. My first visit one week ago was pleasant. Vanessa was attentive. The reason I returned with new blood to try your place. Dont think Ill be returning. Thank your server with blond hair on the phone for that.Oh yeah, since she has nothing to do perhaps tell her to clean the tables. There was lettuce on the seat we chose.

I came here for St. Patricks weekend, I ordered the Calamari and my boyfriend ordered the pizza fries. The Calamari was one of the worst Ive had, it was overcooked and very chewy. I also asked the waitress for some tarter sauce and was told they dont have any instead they served it with 2 marinara sauce 1 looked like they dumped a bunch of chili flakes. The pizza fries were okay according to my boyfriend.

Mid level food, awful customer service. They won’t let you enter the establishment without ID but if you’re seated they also won’t send any servers to your table to wait on you or take your order.Their security is a TOTAL POS.

Review №35

2023-07-06 02:50:11

This place has a lot of potential but unfortunately a problem controlling the ambiance. Because the bar is open to the street, they kicked sometime out but he lingered outside and waited to harass us. Security was very reluctant to use force or be firm with getting rid of this man. In the end around 2am they had to use force but they should have intervened sooner and without being asked. It is hard to feel safe as a group of women when these are the situations you face in bars. The good thing is that the food here is excellent and the bartenders are wonderful.

The staff is friendly and helpful. We went on a Dodgers game night and so it was incredibly busy and the whole space smelled like Clorox from the constant cleaning of tables. And somehow they got the sound just right and it feels kind of like a stadium. We had the boneless wings, meatball hero and linguine with shrimp and everything was good but the wings were the best! Just yum. Good time generally if you wanna get a drink and watch a game

I genuinely don’t like to leave bad reviews. But I do feel like others should be aware because my friend had her card stolen here, possibly by an employee. Myself and two friends were there on a Saturday evening at dinner time and it was packed. The service wasn’t amazing but we were understanding due to how busy it was. One friend paid the bill and we were going to split the cost later. However, she wasn’t given much time to look the bill over and as soon as she signed the waitress took the card holder away, my friend not realizing that her card was still inside. Later she was notified that her card was used by someone at Rocco’s very late on Monday night. Of course she took all precautionary measures after this but I’m just writing this review to warn people that this happened and to be aware.

2022-10-01 05:37:52

Not sure how it is rated so high. Good only for noise lovers not when you want to be at peace. Food is very average. The margarita was good. They take the card in advance for swiping and return during the final payment. Something I hated through I understand that they play it safe. It affects the trust with customers. I could have given three stars but reduced weighing the price vs quality.

Its a nice Sports bar to hangout in. The staff is friendly. I had a large pizza with fresh mozzarella tonight. They put some green stuff on it, maybe basil? Anyway it was too doughy, and not that good. It would have to be thin crust to be better. I would give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.Their regular cheese pies are a lot better, and you are likely better off with a thin crust. I am from NY and picky about good pizza.

Best Happy Hour in Old Town Pasadena. Trust me, Ive checked. I think of this place as more of a bar than a restaurant, personally. That being said, the food is actually good. And did I mention the happy hour?

Review №52

2021-10-23 03:24:33

The happy hour is awesome because of the 2 for 1 drinks. Super great deal in this area. Their wings are out of control good. Definitely get the Maryland dry rub! One ofMy favorite spots to watch sports in Pasadena. They are always crowded so expect a wait when you go.

Ordered take out last week. Staff were friendly and ambiance looked nice but the food was pretty disappointing. Ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Barely any sauce but the sauce that was there was watery and tasteless. The meatballs had zero taste and were mushy like wet paper towels. Did note, the meatballs were an extra $2 😬. All in all, it was hardly edible. Should’ve gone elsewhere.

Great, attentive and friendly service. Drinks are super strong although not that tasty, which is the only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5. The wings may be the best wings Ive ever had, and they will cook them to order. Even the super hot habanero ones were still very tasty, not just hot. Pizza was really good as well. The really make you feel like a regular at a local spot.

Their happy hour specials are the best! 2 for 1 drinks, 1/2 off pizza and wings too! Good spot to start the night or to have a good time. It has a sports bar feel to it, so it may get a bit crowded.

Review №62

2019-02-20 21:44:16

Usually stop by here when in the area for drinks. Their 2 for 1 is my preferred time to go. Have had a few different food menu items and havent had a bad experience yet. The service is typically fast and friendly but expect a wait if theres a game on which should be expected. The scene is what you would expect for a sports bar, lots of TVs with music loud enough so you can still conversate without having to yell. The atmosphere is overall friendly and a good place if you want to grab a quick drink or sit and watch a game.

Review №63

2019-01-29 21:23:21

I would say this spot is one of Pasadena’s top spots for a good happy hour that ends at 7pm during the week; not too sure if they offer HH during the weekend. It’s an awesome 2 for 1. Inexpensive. My favorite beer is the Rocco Red... drink 2-3 of these and you won’t have to worry about running an expensive tab to get a buzz. Their wings and pizzas are delicious. Love how the tables are set up. Plenty of TV all around the bar. Great for catching a sporting event. It does get crowded on main event nights, so you have to show up early. Oh, and on occasion you may catch a glimpse of a celebrity or two. Check it out!

2019-01-07 04:58:27

Super happy hour! All drinks under $25 are 2-for-1 nearly all day. And the food has never disappointed either. However, last time I went the micheladas werent as good as they have been in the past.

Our server was excellent. She is the reason for the 5 stars. The kitchen even burned my first order ( never made it to the table just was told) and I was happy. Also the hot wings are unreal, there is a little sweetness to them. The dirty bird were a good exercise in stepping out of my comfort zone.

Review №68

2019-08-12 02:22:01

Wow.. so glad we chose this place to grab a bite to eat. The pizza is the best I have had... I think even better than when I was in NY... ordered a small plain cheese, perfect crust, perfect blend of cheese, perfect crisp and no sogginess.Fries were amazing, thick cut crispy made to order and with a hint of basil ( never knew how greatBasil would taste on fries!)The chicken parm sandwich was delicious, bread was perfectly toasted, perfect blend of sauce and cheese the only thing is, with my order, the breaded chicken was overly done leaving some chard breaded chicken pieces, When I got to those areas the burnt breading was overpowering the rest of the sandwich, but this could’ve been my order only these things happen occasionally and definitely would not have returned the sandwich because of it, it was still very much delicious. Staff was great and drinks were cold crisp and never empty!

They have outdoor dining only because of the pandemic. My beers were nice and cold and my pepperoni, mushroom and sausage pizza was good.The only thing i would ding them on was the slow service. It seemed like they only had 2 servers for a busy Friday night.

Review №70

2016-08-24 21:31:16

The happy hour was good and a good deal, and the pizza was good too. We were a large group of friends that all grew up in Pasadena, and we were having a great time. But when the large bill came the waitress failed to tell us that 20% gratuity had already been added, so we were a bit buzzed trying to figure out who needed to pay what, and it would have been super helpful if the server had informed us of the 70$ tip they had added to the bill. I know that Tuesday nights might usually not be very busy, but the place seemed totally understaffed with one bartender and two servers.

I really liked Roccos.My long time bud from high school and I caught up after work and grabbed a Beer and watched a little bit of the NFL games that were on. We are both Football ex athletes and enthusiasts, but it could only hold our attention so long, before the ambiance and beer takes over. A large flow of beautiful people frequent here.Open feel to it, no doors and your in the heart of Old Town Pasadena so your set.Go visit and make an experience of your evening, night or Life.Awesome place!!

Great atmosphere. TVs are large and the local teams are always on. You can also request games you want to watch on another TV. Food is better than most bars of its kind. The bartender Rob is super cool and attentive. I love the gritty feel of the place.

Seemed like a pretty good bar until I fell in their bathroom. Simply lost my footing standing up from my wheelchair and went down. I went back to pay my bill from that day, and they refused to serve me. Non the less, I left the money there. So, if you are disabled or have any health issues, this is not the place to go. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Probably the last time Ill come here. Dissappointed with the food, the service, the drinks.. party of 4 of us, and we all had issues with either our food or drinks.Server didnt really come check on us in outdoor area, so we kept having to go find her to order more drinks, food, etc.. It used to be a favorite of my frirnds who took me, who assured me this experience was out of the ordinary, but as a first time guest, I was dissatisfied.

Looked at other reviews and saw it had 4.4 rating. Went there and experienced the worst customer service. We were ignored for over 10 to 15 mins minutes. Once we got to order it took forever to get the food, the food was horrible. Asked the waiter to take the food off since we didnt eat it. The waiter throw our bill on the table after we said we knew it wasnt his fault the food was horrible. He then blamed us for his bad customer service. Would definitely give negative stars of I could. Dont go there if u want any type of customer service

Highly disappointed. Had to ask to have the bar wiped down. Has to ask for cherries for a drink that was made with cherries. Pizza took so long we canceled. So we PAID n left n got CHASED by a waiter n bouncer bc the BARTENDER didn’t tell the waiter we paid. Even though the bouncer keep filming us on his PHONE while standing by our both. Everyone SAW my daughter pay. Horrible Experience. The short older white man is delusional n should retire if he’s havin Dementia issues n Spitting while talking with No MASK on over ya drinks. Staff No Mask. They do not Wipe tables or bar after each patron. Trashy place full of racist in my opinion.

I will admit that I had reasonably low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was quite a few steps above bar-food, and while somewhat understaffed (what restaurant is not these days), the server was friendly, and the orders were spot on. Ill return soon.

Unfortunately for the second time, waited 15 minutes and neither server even looked at me. 3 people at bar and 5-6 tables. Walked out this time. Happy hour beer program is terrific ..... if you can an order placed. Rob, sorry I had to do this but no contact on your websites

A random post Rose Parade Monday morning stroll brought me to this great place in Pasadena on Green. The pleasant door greeting, the fast service (considering a busy holiday) and plenty of seating makes a very easy-going and friendly sports bar. With special morning holiday breakfast and sandwich menu items, I ordered the Breakfast Pizza which came piping hot and loaded with scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and cheese. Deliciously priced at $10 the pizza easily fed two. Coupled with a Baileys and Coffee and a full house of happy visiting college football fans, it was a great time. Ill be back!

They have happy hour everyday! This is a fun place to meet with friends. You get two for one drinks!! The Staten Island Iced Tea was just what I needed to quench my thirst on a humid day. The garlic bread was crispy and buttery.

A good sized sports bar, it can get full in the early evening, and it can get pretty loud inside, even with the front entrance being open air. Its not the cleanest place, nor somewhere you will want to go for privacy or quiet. Theres plenty of drinks, and a long happy hour. The food menu has standard stuff, and not too expensive.From what I saw and experienced, the food can be hit or miss. I wouldnt order any salads, they just didnt look appetizing. I got the roccos fries and the pretzel....both were served very hot. The fries were lightly seasoned and came with garlic aioli, I got the pretzel with cheese...its nacho cheese...it was good, but the pretzel was more crispy than I had thought.Overall, its really a place for after work gatherings or the like...its not a date place.

If you live in and around Pasadena, you know about RT both locations. If you are down for good food and large and only want one meal a day. You found it. GET THE WINGS

Review №91

Firstly, they stay open late. Secondly, their wings are fing phenomenal. Thirdly, their bone in and boneless wings and all their flavors are redinkulous. AND they have 1/2 off from like 10 pm on. Pizza is really good! Go Green St.,Dena.

Review №92

2019-02-04 04:06:54

We got the boneless wings and later, a pizza. The wings came out piping hot, nicely sauced, and still crunchy. Compared to chains like bww, these were 90% meat vs bwws like 60% meat. Definitely recommend, BUT everyone was ordering the bone-in wings, so that may be the way to go. Service was great and staff were very friendly.

Sad to report that I had the worse service I have ever experienced at this location. Im sure this story doesnt reflect the entirety of the staff, and I sincerely hope my experience was simply an isolated incident.The full story is below...but the saddest part was when one of their bartenders (who I assume was a manager) revealed to our party that they were intentionally giving us poor service because we had not tipped them quick enough for their standards. If that sounds unbelievable, all I can say is it was unbelievable. My party and the surrounding parties had our jaws on the floor. He told us outright that he expected a tip with each and every drink, whereas we have always tipped at the end. Im not a huge bargoer, but I have never had an issue with tipping at the end - thats all Ive ever done in fact.Ive also never had a bartender tell me what tip he requires of me in order to earn his service. To me, this does not feel acceptable, nor does it seem to be a good business practice. Regardless, it would be much more effective if they tell the customer their tipping requirements up front....I came in with a couple of friends on a Friday night around 10 PM for drinks. The bar was fairly empty, yet we were continually ignored and the staff was rude with a bluntness I have yet to experience elsewhere. It was incredibly hard to get served throughout the night, and when we would finally get the staffs attention interactions were terse and confusing.They gave us refills when we didnt ask for them. We ordered an entire round of drinks that simply never came. On another attempt, my friend ordered two Moscow Mules, handed the bartender a $20 bill and she boorishly replied: $20 aint gonna get you 2 Moscow Mules babe. $24. Ill spare you the other comments she made.The disservice peaked when they refused to split my $1 bill into quarters so I could pay my parking meter (which was right outside and only took quarters). I then asked a friendly couple nearby if they could break a dollar, and they told me they had just gotten quarters from the staff for their meter. Unfortunately a bartender overheard us discussing why they refused to give us quarters, and he initiated a conversation with us to see what the problem was. After we told him we felt we were being mistreated, he revealed that they were intentionally treating us this way because we had not tipped them on a drink by drink basis, rather we were tipping at the end. This actually happened! I can truly say it was the strangest and most senseless interaction Ive ever experienced from an employee. It was also quite humiliating, as this was happening in front of everybody. We would have been happy to tip drink by drink had we know this was required but we simply had no clue.Ive had great times at Roccos in Culver City (where Ive always tipped at the end), but Pasadena has some work to do from what Ive experienced. Im sure there are plenty of kind, helpful employees at this restaurant, but sadly this is the only honest review I can give.

Everything was great except for Abraham.. a very unfriendly and rude doorman... I understand that it is COVID and being in contact with other people is stressful but please appreciate the fact that you have a job as many others have lost theirs. Additionally, maybe you should be working in the back or something because I do not think you’re an appropriate customer-facing person with your unnecessary comments and rude demeanor.So why give this place 3 stars?After our rude introduction.. we got to meet Michael and Michael is an amazing waiter! I recommend asking for him and you’ll have an amazing night! Everything managed to turn right around with his bright eyes and kind demeanor.But to be completely honest, I won’t ever be back if Abraham is still working here. Why? Because RUDE. And honestly the few times I leave the house, a little common decency would be nice. Ask for Michael. I beg of you.

While they are doing everything they can to social distance and protect their customers; their efforts with their food needs a lot of work. The staff was attentive and courteous so no problems there. However, the pasta was served undrained so it came as spaghetti soup. This normally wouldnt be that big of an issue if it wasnt served with chicken parmesan. The chicken parm wasnt all that bad but it was ruined by the sogginess produced by the wet plate. The server did check on us but, given that she didnt notice the pasta issue when she served it, there was no point in trying to explain further. Im not in Pasadena often but when I am again Ill likely go down the street to Bucca or to a finer establishment a street over.
