This place is your typical new England sports bar decorated equally with Boston new York sports teams. There's lots of beers on tap and the food is pretty big portions.A very happening place!

Wednesdays-Saturday only. Venue has a good DJ on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Friday and Saturday are best for any crowd surfing.

Yawn. It's like a sports bar from 1991 exploded inside this place. The TVs look terrible and the layout is bad. However, I will give them some points for being the only Washington Redskins bar in CT....

Rookies is a decent sports bar in Cromwell, it's kind of a meat market for the college age crowd. Beer, darts, pool, big TV's and girls. What else do you need?

Rookie's is perhaps the most interesting restaurant in Cromwell. It's more known as a sports bar than a restaurant, but along with your beer you can also enjoy a variety of food, not just pub-style. ...
