Fun tavern in Culver City - exactly what you expect and want in a tavern. Servers are friendly and quick to bring beer. Generous happy hour, and has a late night happy hour too! Was nice that it wasn't packed, but still busy (was going to go across the street to a different place, but it was packed). So appreciated the relative quiet of Rocco's (and probably should have been our go to anyway to be a little more chill). Feels much more like a local hang out. Didn't try the food, but everyone raves about the pizza. Next time have to get some during happy hour! read more

Rocco's Tavern is a nice, spacious spot in the heart of the UCLA area, making it a convenient place to hang out before or after other plans. We stopped by around 5 PM on a Friday to kill some time before a show at a nearby theater. The daytime crowd was relaxed, mostly people in their 30s and up, and the bartenders were friendly. Unfortunately, the mixed drinks were below average and tasted watered down. We didn't try the food, so I can't comment on that. After our movie, we came back around 11 PM and it felt like a completely different place. It was packed with energy and mostly filled with the younger university crowd. The atmosphere was lively and a lot more fun than earlier in the evening. If you're coming here, I'd recommend sticking with beer rather than cocktails. Parking: Street parking and nearby public parking available. Ratings: * Vibe: 7/10 * Drinks: 4/10 * Crowd: 9/10 * Location: 10/10 * Prices: $$ read more

Solid bar to watch some games and grab a few brews. Plenty of TV's so you can get your choice of a game. It's a wraparound bar, so it feels Food is typical bar fare. Not too much for vegetarians, so maybe plan to eat beforehand or afterwards. Bartenders were pretty good so no complaints on that end. read more

First time coming to this location I've always gone to the studio city one. This place was pretty cool the bar tenders were great forget their names. I went on a Wednesday after work. The Italian fries were good and you get a good amount! I recommend them for sure. Overall great service. read more

Your neighborhood bar whenever you want to watch a game and have a good time! We came here for the Superbowl game and the place was popping. We wanted to sit down and enjoy some beer and appetizers, but all of the seats were filled. Lucky for us, they told us the basement was also available and was not as crowded. We sat at the bar, ordered Buffalo and Parmesan wings, a side of fries, and cider. Food is good, nothing fancy, but remember, you're not here for the food, you're here for the vibes. Fast service, great beer and drinks available, and two levels to watch a game. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone! The crowd is horrible, the service is even worse, and the drinks are disgustingly expensive for absolutely nothing. Never once in my entire life would I have thought a bouncer would fat shame me until I came here. He didn't mention my weight once or twice, but three times. Keep in mind, I'm 5 foot 4 and weigh 115 pounds, even if I were overweight, it still shouldn't be something mentioned, but it was. To say the least, I would never come back here again. I'm disgusted, offended, and disappointed. read more

The ultimate sports bar! You get a view of the game from every seat because they have plenty of seats! Remember you're in Westwood and this bar is a fan of UCLA! The pizza, pretzel and wings were all really good and the bartender Nish was attentive. read more

I do not recommend this establishment, even for a single drink. The burgers are of lower quality than McDonald's, the chicken wings were poorly prepared and still contained feathers, and the calamari was excessively oily. read more

I've been to Rocco's many times. Sometimes it's a dance club too. And it is not too crowded normally. The food variety isn't big but adequate enough. read more

Rocco's Tavern is a fun bar / restaurant located in the heart of Westwood! I came here with a group of friends for happy hour and we were able to sing a table that sat all of us. I love the spacing of the restaurant where the bar is in the middle and the tv's are situated to capture each table. It's def a great place to catch a game. The drinks and food are great! I ordered the Buffalo wings with French fries which came out delicious and fresh. The food also came out pretty quickly which I was pleasantly surprised by since it was crowded. Will definitely be back! read more

Rocco's is a dive bar that turns into a college "club" in the evening. The service is slow, it can sometimes get loud and crowded, and the food is pretty meh. If you go into it knowing and expecting that, you won't be disappointed. I like to stop in for their buffalo wings, fries, and a beer from time to time. I will say that it's a bit frustrating that they do not offer a small order of fries or a combo of any kind, you have to buy a whole large order of fries. Their wings also sometimes have a charred or gas flavor which is odd. All that aside though, there aren't many decent and reasonably priced wing spots in Westwood, so I drop in and get my extra crispy extra saucy wings to scratch the itch. read more

The waiter put water in my drink. I do not recommend this place, they scam your drink, the waiter was Asian and she laughed after she poured water in my drink, do not go to this place, ever!! read more

Pretty solid. The wings are my favorite; all flavors are good but wish they spice it more for the Old Bay. Good amount of seating, staff are nice and friendly. It's one of the few restaurants with a bar type in the area. You can find parking pretty easily. read more

Awesome location, definitely will be coming back soon. Food: Plenty of selection to choose from, from appetizers, to main entrees. On my first visit here we went with 2 appetizers. Which were the pizza fries (with pepperoni), and for the 2nd appetizer we went with the loaded nachos (with chicken). Drinks: Again plenty of options to select from, from non alcohol options, to many beers on tap or bottled, as well as your spirits. For our 2 drink options we went with Skinny margarita, and Mexican mule. Both really good, and plenty of alcohol within their drinks. Seating: we came here during a Monday aftet work, and there were tons of seats to choose from. I could imagine this location getting packed, given location is right next to UCLA. Customer service: Super friendly & welcoming, thee main reason I'd consider coming back soon. Recommended: Absolutely. read more

My son and I were around the block to get a slice of tasty pizza and felt the need for a refreshment. Don't know the name of our amazing and super friendly bartender but give this person a raise for being a great ambassador of your brand. The beers were great cold and tasty but the way we were treated will make me come back for more. Thank you! read more

This place knows exactly how to create the right atmosphere, especially when you just want to relax, watch a game and have something to eat. The choice of dishes is unpretentious, but in the subject - wings, potatoes, snacks. Not a restaurant, but a classic bar with its own character. Sometimes it is noisy and crowded, especially in the evening, but for some it is exactly what you need. A convenient place if you are looking not for perfection, but for familiar simplicity and a little noisy drive. read more

Four stars because they have Guinness on tap and that makes me happy. Should be less stars because nowhere else does a Guinness cost $10. I was expecting $8 or something, but... well hello! Love the large open-air windows. Back in the day, I remember this venue being closed-in and a little dodgy, so definitely loving the open-air feel. Lots of televisions. Good for watching sports. Food also available, although we'd just had lunch and didn't have anything. 2023: 21/100 read more

Oh Rocco's, I can't quit you. It's just so good. I always get 911 wings that are usually 5/5, sometimes they can be a tiny bit fatty (which I realize most other people like) Thursday night I branched out a bit and got the sizzling shrimp and oh my god. So good. 5/5. Reminds me of the shrimp and mussel skillet that was at the stinking rose RIP seriously amazing!! Pasta is also great. Pizza is good. Drinks are good and HH is amazing 2/1 until 7 read more

I used to order from here at least once a month. Switched to another pizza place that is right around corner that is my go to. Wanted to treat myself to some Rocco's who I thought was one of the best pizza places. I hadn't ordered from here in about a year... What a huge disappointment. How do you screw up a pepperoni pizza? It tasted terrible like bad bowling alley pizza. And the calamari was so overcooked it was like jerky. Never again boys it was a good run. Owners - Audit the kitchen now before you go under in a year. read more

Swung in here for a quick drink and my friend wanted to watch the Golden State Warriors whoop up on the Chicago Bulls before our movie date. We asked the bartender if he'd put the game on...he did right away. I ordered a vodka soda w/ lime. And paid $9. Not terrible in my opinion, but he quickly came over and apologized and handed me another vodka soda w/ lime. It was happy hour still! 2-4-1 baby! Had me nicely buzzed to cry my eyes out at the Landmark theater next door when we watched the movie All of us Strangers! Thanks for wetting my whistle, and lubing my tear ducts! read more

Came here after an exam this summer and it felt so good to be back! There was a line but it was worth the wait. Everyone was so excited regardless if they were leaving or coming in. It was a fun-filled night at this sports bar with a game on and just the right music to welcome us all back after a long hiatus. Throughout one evening that consisted of a beverage or two and several moments of watching the baseball game on one of the many TVs they had, I felt a sense of normalcy amidst everything we were going through in our world. Visits to this amazing haven are always fun especially after matches and games. The last visit during happy hour incorporated the 10 piece garlic parmesan chicken wings with ranch on the side. The service was great and they provided enough ranch for the entire meal! This was most likely the best meal I had this month and it was nice that there were still safety measures put in place with multiple games going on at once on the various televisions. We'll definitely be going back soon for happy hour or another event! read more

Everyone's favorite happy hour go-to bar after work . Our UCLA team often does hour staff HH at Rocco's and feels like home . The 2/1 special on drinks and bar food ( calamari , pizza , wings ) are not pretty good . We recently had a coworkers bday here in the private room downstairs which was awesome ! Thx to Owner Ali ,Curtis , Adam and Sam for always accommodating us read more

An easy 5 stars primarily for my easygoing experience. Came here midday on a Sunday and it was pretty much dead which worked out for my date & I do we can chat up a storm. Our server Josh was attentive and kind. He's also a smart cookie because he wasn't one of those servers who interrupts you because they're hellbent on making rounds. He's actually aware to not interrupt but also be available if needed which is the kind of service we love! Came right before happy hour & into happy hour so 4 beers (2 regular size & 2 larger ones with happy hour price) was only $36. California Blood Orange for anyone who loves citrus! So delicious!!! Didn't get a chance to try the food but it smelled amazing for sure. And ladies, oddly, the bathroom floor was just kinda wet for some unknown reason so if you're one of those drunkies who ends up with their heels off, please put them on when you go to the bathroom! read more

This is a great sports bar in the heart of Westwood. Lots of TVs for viewing sports. Sometimes the volume is a bit too high though, especially when they are slow. They have a pretty good selection of beer and a cider or two, reasonably priced by LA standards especially during their happy hour. Their food menu is varied and full of pub grub options. I've only had their BBQ chicken pizza, which is delicious. They don't open until 3:00 which is unfortunate; I wish they opened earlier. They are definitely work a try. read more

My friend and I came here to eat dinner at 9pm on a Friday night. The door guy was very nice and provided us with stools to eat at the bar. Much of the restaurant was being cleared out to make room for the bar/club scene that I guess happens at night here... I'm used to the Rocco's Tavern in Studio City that serves food much later and does not get rid of its tables to turn into a bar/club. It is a college town, though, so that makes sense :) We were fine eating at the bar as we didn't plan to stay long anyway, but what made it very weird is the Manager. Or at least I believe he was the manager as he was wearing a patterned button-down shirt, unlike the black T-shirts everyone else was wearing. The bartender was very nice and she placed our order. Shortly after the manager came by and asked if we had put our food order in yet, which we had... you could tell he wanted us to order ASAP. As we waited for our food we chatted and watched sports on TV. My friend's nachos came out pretty quickly and they were tasty. The only gripe she had was that there were almost no full size chips in the nachos, but mostly pieces of broken chips. My burger took quite awhile to come out, so I picked at my friend's nachos because I was very hungry. Eventually it came out and I loved that it had a pretzel bun... my favorite! It also came with a ton of french fries :) What made our dinner feel weird, though, was that the manager would constantly stare at us as if he was waiting for us to scarf down our food so he could get it out of there. It was continual, and it was very uncomfortable sitting their eating with him continually walking around and then staring at us as we ate. Eventually we were done eating and he promptly took our food plates away. It was just so weird and obvious! We sat for a little while longer as we finished our drinks and then left. I don't think I would come back here again unless it was earlier in the day because we felt so uncomfortable while eating dinner. read more

Bridget the bartender is one of the kindest, sweetest people in this city! And that's where my compliments to Rocco's end. The owner, Ali, is unbelievably rude, combative, and misogynistic. While working as a third party contractor for the bar, where I am not employed by Ali, I was treated lower than low. He barked orders at me, deliberately called me by the wrong name after multiple corrections, refused to greet me or directly answer my questions, and ultimately demanded that I "SMILE FOR HIM" in exchange for the tools I needed to do my job. I have never been spoken to so rudely by anybody, much less a business owner while they were on the job. He swore at me, raised his voice, and when I refused to smile for him like a dancing monkey, he got me fired from my contracting job at Rocco's. Good riddance. Do not patronize an establishment run by a sexist who expects women to do a song-and-dance for him -- if he would treat a contractor on the job this way, he'll treat his customers this way too. read more

Stopped here because the reviews weren't terrible and I was hungry. I ordered a regular mule (which they advertise on Their bar drink menu)... they served it to me in a water glass, enough said .... Then they charge $19.99 for 10 peel&eat shrimp and the guy asks if I want them peeled luckily I asked if there was a price diff and sure enough it's another $2.99 to have them peeled, 10 shrimp! Gtfoh ... I guess I should have just gotten wings and a beer ... not the friendliest of bartenders, bar is dirty, and the music is way too loud to be enjoyable. I will not be coming back. read more

Bartender is so grumpy. Dude sucks. I ordered a burger at 5pm on a Wednesday. There was less than 10 people at the bar. The burger took 27 min. So I changed my mind bc it took a while. Who cares, right? This grumpy bartender does. He was so mad. He threw the refund receipt at me. It's not even his fault and I know that. I didn't get mad at him. He took it as a personal affront that I changed my mind. It was the kitchens error, not his. Why treat me poorly as a result? Hard to say. Maybe he's unhappy working there or just has issues in his personal life. 1 star service. read more

It's hard to gauge a restaurant in Westwood Village on a game night but that's all I have to go by. With the Bruins playing at Pauley and a sellout crowd expected, I wanted to park in Westwood, eat and drink, walk to Pauley and back, and find my car in one piece. Mission accomplished. I parked in a lot for $8 and had a decent meal with my wife and friends. I'm not sure what was in this spot in years past but Rocco's was a cool place for pizza, beer and a salad. Service was efficient even the place was super crowded. It was also very loud....needlessly so... since they had a Lakers game blaring on TV in addition to all of the pregame drinkers screaming to be heard. They offer a decent Italian menu and a few other burgers, sandwiches and such. My 10" pizza hit the spot but the house salad was excellent. The beers were flowing, the tab was not too crazy and we had a good time. It sure helps when the Bruins won, too. read more

Rocco's surprisingly has really good pizza! Their combo pizza is honestly one of the best I've had in Westwood. It's very quiet during the day, and a great place to come chat with friends. The staff are very friendly, but it took us a bit to figure out that we had to order on our phones. read more

Glad to see Rocco's is back in business! I used to come here often before COVID to watch football games, and it feels good to be able to do that again. It is a great spot to grab beer and food and watch a game (a rarity in Westwood, sadly) on their numerous TVs. The food isn't stellar, but it's decent with big portions. I came here recently on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty enough that I stayed for most of a football game nibbling at my food and beer at the bar. I've never been to Rocco's at late night, but I heard it gets pretty lit and dance-y. I'm not sure if that's my cup of tea, but daytime Rocco's sure is. read more

Shame that they have that type of people working for them. read more

Rocco's Tavern - Idiot Door man - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm kinda surprised how well-rated this place is. Yes I know it's a rite of passage for UCLA undergraduates so maybe it's not my scene: I'm a graduate student. I came here on a Friday night with my friends, and it had recently reopened. First, the music was so bad. It wasn't lively or energetic; the songs were unfamiliar and slow-paced. It felt odd. Second, I felt like the drinks were very watered down. I ordered a Malibu Bay Breeze (Malibu coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice) and I could hardly taste the rum -- it was mainly the pineapple/cranberry juice yet I was charged around $11/$12 for it. ‍ I guess if you're an undergrad and want a bar scene, this could be the perfect bar for you! For others who have experienced other bars, probably not. read more
