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.

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.

By far, the best sports bar in Pasadena. We love Barney's but the service is almost always terrible. Always great service at Rocco's and the best food of any of the sports bars. Their pizza is excellent. We order the caesar salad eveytime.
