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.

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.

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 didn’t get any green olives. But, above average food for a sports bar.

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 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.

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 Rocco’s 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.

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 couldn’t give five stars because the service was quite slow. I’m sure they ate understaffed and struggling with that issue too balance a budget and stay open. So if you’re going, be patient with the service.

The wings and the pizza were dooopppe. One of my favorite items was the pizza though- the BBQ was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. They’re 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 didn’t exceed 120. I’d totally go again.
