    Fruit cocktail, Heinekens, and Scratcher tickets with sports on TVs? Sure thing.

    Formerly Wave Cafe but an ownership change and a new name was required. That seemed to be the only change as waitresses and decor were the same as before. Even the wifi access and password remained. A coffee is $6 now so that might be the biggest change of all!

    Stopped by after tailgating on Sunday, October 23rd around 2pm. We started with a group of 3, but that slowly grew to a group of 8+. We decided to sit in the outside patio while watching the 49ers' game. We basically just drank beers. Mainly Stella Artois, Blue Moon, and Heineken. Later we ordered some French fries to sop up all the alcohol. Since we sat outside, we didn't enjoy the scenery as much, but all the waitresses were friendly. And easy on the eyes as well. One had an awesome tattoo which I loved. Great place to grab some drinks and enjoy the eye candy.

    Yummy com bo luc lac!!!

    I'm writing another update pretty close to my last one because I just absolutely love this place! Wave is a great place to chill, grab a coffee...something to eat & watch sporting events! It amazes me how not only is the service top notch, but the girls here are not only Gorgeous, but they really are very nice too! Never stuck up & always have a smile on their faces! Kitty & Lily did an awesome job as always & since it's Halloween weekend, they looked Breathtaking (Kitty as a Sexy Kitten & Lily as a Smoking Police girl) Thanks again Wave! Can't wait for my next visit! 5 out of 5 stars...once again!!!

    The beer is cold and served by a pretty lady

    If you're new to the game or are too self conscious to visit a more serious setting, fairway zone…read moreis the perfect place to start. This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?). To my understanding this place just went through a menu/renovation refresh so look to the newest pictures for the most up to date info.

    The ambiance and décor are nice -- and that's about where the positives end. When we sat down and…read moreopened the menu, several items were crossed out or scribbled over, so the food options I had seen on Yelp were no longer available. We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.

    My husband and I wanted to try the Thursday Prime Rib special here and ended up treating ourselves…read moreto a full-on feast. We started off with a full order of wings split between the Honey BBQ and the Hong Kong flavors. The Honey BBQ was good but the Hong Kong wings had a unique savory flavor that kept us wanting more. The prime rib was fantastic - tender, juicy, and an excellent deal for the portion size. The veggies and potatoes did the job but understood they weren't the main attraction. Because the Thursday night special is popular, be prepared to wait for a bit. It's a great spot to catch a game, grab a drink, and enjoy the Happy Hour deals (there's a different one for every weekday!). Great vibes, lots of screens, and attentive service even though it was busy. We're definitely adding it to our restaurant rotation.

They have a $25 prime rib special every Thursday (5pm - 11pm) and Sunday (3pm - 9pm), and it was really good for the price. You get a 12 oz cut, with roasted potatoes and veggies. The meat was juicy, tender, portion was huge. It would easily cost $50+ in other places. We also tried 2 cocktails, Pueblo Mexican Candy Shot and the Spicy Cucumber Margarita. Both were delicious, but I personally liked the Pueblo more, cause the flavor was more complex. Overall, fun vibe, next to a casino, good price, good food & drinks!!! Definitely worth a visit!

    I'm attaching a picture of myself so you can get a better understanding of who I am and what my…read moreperspective on this place is, coming from a girl like me. Came here once for my friend's birthday party. Him and his roommate bought a bottle; I didn't ask what they paid. I honestly got super drunk and enjoyed their live DJ who was playing dubstep while the TV screens were playing EDC sets The girls here are sooo hot. There were so many and such a wide variety! Some even had costumes on so if you like sexy nerds or bunnies, or whatever, you're going to like this place. A lot of ABGs as well. All the girls were super nice. When I arrived, I saw policemen talking to security at the door and then they just left... Makes me wonder what this place pays them haha. My friend's roommate got super drunk so my friend and I walked him out to make sure he got into his Uber safely. When we went back inside, they had already cleared our table! Even took our bottle! They said to us: "once you leave your table, you can't come back!" So that's why I'm giving this place 4 stars. Overall, since they force you to buy a bottle, you are for sure getting drunk and you are for sure going to have a GREAT time, because the music is lit and the girls are sexy! I will definitely have to go back soon!! To anyone who's wondering if there were any other girls whom were customers... no. I was the only girl haha. All the guys in there were definitely looking at me

    Seems to be closed at 10-1030 of Friday. There were no lights on, no one around and couldn't enter.read more

The service was really good too, the waitress of the name Alexis or Lexie was really nice, she was very consistent on checking to see if I needed anything else and refilling my water drink, she was great. The ambiance was really nice, the place was very clean and flat screens was all over the place to watch sports. In conclusion I will be definitely be coming here again for great food and great service, and to watch sports.

    This was my first visit to San Jose, which will now be a regular trip for work. The first night I…read morehad Mexican Food, which tasted great. The second night, I went to an Asian place and that tasted great as well. I was two for two. My third evening was a beautiful evening to walk the around the city, which I really enjoyed. Eventually I found myself in the need of a drink and some food. I ran into Rookies Sports Lodge. I looked inside and the ambience felt like a comfortable sports bar atmosphere, with plenty of TV's. Just what I was in the mood for. The bartender greeted me quickly and brought me a G&T, which tasted great. It did take a while to get some food ordered. There were several items that looked great, but I was kind of feeling a burger and didn't want to pay $9.00 for a side of fries which the burger came with. I will say it's outrageous to charge that much for a side of fries. Even when costs are up. I ended up ordering their Rookies Housemade Burger w/o cheese and tomato. I guess I could have had cheese. Tomato doesn't belong in anything but salsa and ketchup. Honestly, the burger wasn't bad. However, I was disappointed with the soggy fries. I would be upset if I paid $9.00 for soggy fries. I did notice that more people were drinking beer here than ordering a cocktail or food. Overall, I wasn't super impressed, but I will try this place again. I'll likely order something else. Overall, the speed of the service was mixed, but my bartender was extremely friendly. I felt comfortable there. My burger was fairly good, but unfortunately the fries were soggy. There's no excuse for soggy fries. If you find yourself near the Rookies Sports Lodge, it's a comfortable environment, but don't expect the best food. Maybe just order a beer.
