Rookie's Sports, Food & Spirits

Came here for lunch. Amazingly good food, everything is made in house. No frozen pre made stuff. The price of the food is very fair especially for how delicious the food is. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

Every time i come to Durham this is my go to spot. The bartenders, Lee, Alex, and Jean, are amazing at their job. The food is always hot and fresh. The people are funny and create a nice environment to chill at. My guy Sway, be holding it down also! The staff is awesome

OMG! Definitely a hidden gem! Tuesdays and Thursdays are Taco and Tequila night; the 21 seeds margarita was excellent with just the right amount of kick. The fried avocado bites were AMAZING especially with the kashmiri chili sauce! From 4-6 Mon-Fri, apps are half off. Nice atmosphere with a nice outdoor space for sitting. Definitely worth a try!

We had a decently large group (10) and they were able to accommodate us easily. The fare from this place is bar food, but the food comes through nicely. We genuinely liked everything we got. I had a few appetizers and a pizza that I shared, and was very pleased.

My family stopped here while staying overnight at a local hotel and absolutely loved it. The service was phenomenal and servers were so friendly. Our food was delicious. My husband's side salad was nearly large enough to be an entre! We had the garlic Parm wings, BBQ platter, and southwest salad. Everything was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

We are flight crew, we were staying at the nearby Doubletree Hotel, and we visited this very enjoyable establishment!
The pizza was GREAT, as were the drinks!
However, our waitress was beyond exceptional. She made the entire experience EXCELLENT and MEMORABLE!

Came in on a road trip, This bar & food did NOT disappoint!
EXCELLENT food, amazing staff, wonderful owner. So good, that we went back the next day for lunch as well.
The quesadilla was amazing.
The Burrito was a 2 meal eat! Incredible.
Drink specials are awesome.
Do yourself a favor and go to Rookies, you'll be glad you did!

The food here is outstanding! The service is pretty good for a busy place. During the weekdays I would recommend coming here as it's less busy than the weekends. The weekends can get a little loud. Overall I do enjoy my time when I come here.

This place used to be busy pre-COVID with their pizza buffet for lunch. Now they have opened it up again! The thin-crust pizzas are delicious and the pieces are small so you can sample to your heart's content. The price for the buffet is reasonable for a bottomless soft drink, endless salad, and all the pizza you can eat. They serve multiple varieties of pizza, including a vegetarian option (with cheese). Due to the after-effects of the pandemic, they won't start making the pizzas until they have someone to eat them. If you're first, you'll have a little wait, but you'll get fresh hot pizza.

I have been o keyto and broke today. It was some of the best food I have had you can tell they start from scratch. As good as the food was the drinks were very fair. Its my new airport food close.

Wow, now this is a great place to get wings! The sauces here destroy any other so called wing restaurants hands down. Good service great food, I will return.

We have our organization's monthly meeting here, when we never know how many people are going to show up each time, and Rookie's accommodates us easily. Food is legit, beer selection is decent, and the staff is excellent.

You definitely need to check out this place! It's a tucked away hidden gem. It is spacious inside, and they have beautiful outdoor seating areas. But of course the best thing is the food! My husband said he "wasn't hungry", but when we tried these Sicilian Rolls, he managed to help me polish off the whole plate! Delicious!

Nice local joint with a very nice menu. Decent selection of beer and the food is pretty good. Comparable pricing to those in the area and the service is always on point. Whether you like it or not you won't know until you go and give it a try.

Great little local place to watch sports and grab an inexpensive drink. The food was better than your average bar fare and I will be back on my next visit to the Research Triangle.

Very fun establishment. The young man in charge of events sat & conversed with me plus a few others. Friday night is the night I went

Love it, love the service. Andrew and Alex are great people with great personalities. Food is great although a little bit pricey for my taste. But definitely worth it. You definitely get what you pay for.

Burger was big and delicious. We had a miscommunication with one of our dishes and they did not hesitate to get a new one for us.

Always a great atmosphere!

All the bartenders and Brian are amazing and fun! And, the food is always delicious 😋 😍

Excellant!!! Traveling from Chicago and wanted something quick to eat. Rookies was recommended by the hotel staff and loved the food. The atmosphere was great with the football playoffs on and everybody was having a great time. Definitely will return when in Durham, NC.
