Why go down to the neighborhood bar to watch the game when you can go to Rookies and watch a whole slew of games? We’re talking about a bar and restaurant that boasts 70 televisions, 15 of them of the large-screen variety, showing major league baseball, pro and college football, NBA and Division 1 basketball, NHL matches and NASCAR races, with the multitude of screens matched to a serious sound system. Phew. Want more variety? Okay, then allow Rookies to throw in 32 draft beers and ciders, 50 beers and an eclectic food menu. But wait, there’s more — pool tables, live bands, DJs. It’s a sports bar that goes deep into, and far beyond, sports.
