BarFly's Review of Roosters Pub

Toothless and ruthless outpost in NoPo's industrial wasteland, populated by a sent-from-Central Casting band of post-apocalyptic miscreants.  Sad, dark stage trolled by palpably down on their luck 'dancers.'  Almost entirely covered in spent peanut shells, including the girls. To paraphrase Patton Oswalt, this is "where hope goes to get raped."
 
They also make jello-shots made with wine!
 
Having said that, for some reason we love this place.

scared to walk in

found this on my way from gun show and thought it would be a laugh to walk in. the building and area looks like a wasteland, but after walking in i saw why. any sci-fi fans will see the pull here. it really reminds you of a post apocalyptic oasis great people and great beer. im going back tonight, its worth the drive.

Its All True!!!

Yes, that right....its all true. Everything from the scary dancers to the good service. Walking in the door brings you into a sess-pool of good times, dirty bathrooms, and REAL friendly girls. Parking is tight but its all on camera being shown in the bar, covered smoking, affordable beer, and...FREE POOL!!!!!

Hmmmm

Not certain what to think.

The beer and service were good, the crowd was everything from truck drivers to the homeless. The dancers were somewhere between freakish and frightening.

but I never had more fun in my life and I have been to more clubs than you have. (yup that bad) Good conversation, no one knew each other but acted like they did. Even the scarcest dancer was nice.

I will never go back, if for no reason that fear for my soul. But you oughtta try it once, and stock up on purel.

Ugh...

Make sure to shower repeatedly after visiting this establishment. Do not touch the strippers... I repeat NO TOUCHING THE PERFORMERS (this is for your safety, not theres).

Beyond depressing

I co-sign the comment from "Ashamed". To call this place a dive would be an insult to dives. This is what David Lynch sees in his mind when he masturbates.

Roosters is one-of-a-kind and you never know what you will get. Some days they have hot young women dancing. Some days they have hot MILFs dancing. Some days they have dancers that will give you nightmares for the rest of your life. And some days they have no dancers at all. Beer is cold and cheap, poker machines are busy, parking is horrible and the bartenders tend to be pretty nice.

My kind of place.

Drove by this place for years, finally went in... My friend said it best, "Rooster's feels stranger than that bar on Twin Peaks." Beyond kitsch. I want that hour of my life back.

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

    Also, please do not use the review system to update your bar's listing. Instead, fill out this form

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Were you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.
