★ 3.6 / 5 (585 reviews)

Tucked away in the city, this restaurant manages to be a mixed bag of experiences. While the atmosphere is lively and the drink specials are a hit, the service and food quality can be inconsistent. Patrons rave about the burgers and Chicken Caesar Salad, yet some express disappointment over long waits and lackluster dishes like the Philly Cheese sandwich. Karaoke nights can be hit-or-miss, with complaints about song selection mishaps. Although it draws a crowd with its late-night offerings and entertaining events, reviews hint at issues with security and staff behavior, suggesting that future visits may require some caution.

Was Natalie Dach at Bookies a mag?
The atmosphere is fantastic, and the drinks are excellent. The food is simply delicious! They serve some of the best burgers in the city! In my opinion, the Chicken Caesar Salad is unmatched. You can't go wrong with the daily drink specials, and there are fun games and activities to enjoy as well! View all feedback.

What Marina Paucek dislikes about Bookies:
Single ladies beware! Hawaiian man security guard beware. This guy is really strange, I'm new in town and decided to go have a drink, the bartender was really great, good drinks but the security guard was scary especially for a single woman. He asked for my number I said no, he asked my friend to pass me his number. JUST NO! View all feedback.

The food here is the best in town! I'm a big fan of their salads, and the stuffed mushrooms are incredible!

I ordered from here twice, and while one of my meals was different than expected, both were still excellent.

Bartender wants to make me surprise drinks. Great atmosphere. Opened the 49th game. Outdoor seats protected from rain.

The food is good. The smallest hamburger is big. Tasty fresh. The fries are really good and the ranch dressing is perfect side. My son had the chicken strips and fries and really enjoyed them. The service was good. The ambiance is nice for a sports bar and lounge.

One of our favorite bars. The food is great. Wings, fries, flatbreads, you can't go wrong. Good place to catch a sports game and grab your favorite domestic beer.
