    Loaded pork pizza
    Lauren R.

    If we weren't invited, I honestly would've never known about this place and would've driven right past it. It's super non-assuming from the outside. But a local PR company invited us to come out to try some beer, pizzas, and pretzels.... and thank goodness they did! Is this place a dive bar? 100000% yes. But I love it that way. They have SUPER cheap drink specials 24/7, they are no-frills, they accept you in your farted-in sweatpants, and they love you all the same. The indoor area has some bar games on-site, too. Things like darts and arcade-style stuff. Then they have some out-front patio tables as well. There is not a HUGE menu, but the pizzas are surprisingly delicious!! Cracker-thin crust with LOTS of toppings on them. We got the pulled pork pizza solely because that was all that was available. This is never something I would've otherwise ordered, so at first I was skeptical, but it was SO much better than I thought it would be. I'm glad I tasted beyond my comfort zone because it was super good! There was TONS of pulled pork chunks on top-- some softer, some more charred and crispier, which I really liked. Definitely a solid choice for any meat-lovers out there!! This spot would be great for friends who want to have some strong drinks and a few bites before an event or something.

    They aren't kidding when they refer to themselves as a dive bar! I was just assuming Bootleggin' Bob's was in between Arsenal and Fyler but it's a couple more blocks south in no man's land! Not necessarily a bad thing just where it is. I stopped in and there were only a few people in there and one bartender taking care of the whole thing. For the first round we had a PBR ($2.50) and an Absolut and Club Soda ($5.00). The drinks are CHEAP! We then ordered the pretzels and nacho cheese and a Porky's Party Pizza (Pulled pork and bacon with house BBQ sauce). Pizza and BBQ are two of my favorite things! My only complaint was the pizza had been frozen and cooked a little too long so the pulled pork dried out. When we asked for some BBQ on the side the pizza was better. The pretzels were crisp because they are also reheated. The place was clean and there is Golden Tee, a couple of pinball machines, and plenty of TVs. We had another round and moved on. I'd definitely return for more cheap drinks!

    Cool place to hang out! They have good pizza and great beer. I got a cucumber seltzer from alpha brewing company and it was very refreshing! A cool little bar to hang out if you and your friends are looking for a place to chill sometime. Hit it up!

    A nice smokey flavor. Wings are solid. Don't get the special sauce tho. When I return, I'll most likely rate this place even higher.

We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn't mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won't regret it.

    Randomly found this place while in town - decided to give it a try…read more We went for a Sunday evening dinner service. There was a small wait for a party of three but the staff was super welcoming and courteous. The ambiance was cool - the outdoor area was super inviting. It was slightly too chilly to sit outside for dinner, though. Once we were seated our server was a little cold - but we never waited for anything and she kept our drinks full so it's hard to criticize too much - she just could've had better "table side manner". The food menu is relatively small - but good. The food my party had was well prepared. Good drink and beer menu and an adequate draft selection - although the first two beers I asked for were no longer in stock so I ended up going with a domestic. All in all a good experience. 4 out of 5. I'd love to go back when it is slightly warmer and sit outside. Casual ambiance. Family friendly.

Walk in and there are plenty of tables, a couple of gathering areas, standing room narrow tables, an outdoor area, and a room off to the side. I went for the Logboat Dark Matter which I have had before in a can and wanted to try on draft. I enjoyed it very much. You know what is great?! Since they don't have food, you can bring it in yourself. Both times our group has met up here Katie's Pizza is the choice and its in the same parking lot. You can't go wrong with Katie's. Bartender is on the ball and friendly, TV's all around, not too loud so you can talk. Wednesday nights they have Trivia and I stayed for the first round, it was very current for the current event category. Get a pizza from Katie's, go here, have a beer, have fun!

I enjoyed that quiet space for a bit and the afternoon air after the walk from Cortex made the wait feel intentional rather than inconvenient. Comfortable seating out here and the light breeze with the afternoon light was nice as I cranked out a few Yelp reviews before I spotted other customers going inside. After setting up at the huge table in the corner, I stepped up to the bar where I was warmly greeted. I chose their Fish Fry, which they call a light lager. It was in a huge mug and that worked out just fine for me as it lasted a while. Oh, and some chicken wings. These were tasty buggers. Served quite hot with a rub that was more spice than sauce. Very yummy and the two sauces were perfect accompaniment. Absolutely delicious. Not long after, friends arrived and I shifted from solo laptop time to conversation. It's nice to see how Rockwell handles the flow of customers. Casual, attentive, friendly. Just right for a great brewpub and a great time. They do have a parking lot. It was just an easy experience today and a great spot for a meetup or hanging out on your own. [Round number review 400 of 2026 - 498 in Missouri - 25583 overall]

The acoustics at times are loud, but you can still hear your friends gathered around the table. My recent visit as always, was to meet-up with some friends. I started out with a Raspberry Beret one of their specialty cocktails. It was my favorite vodka, Tito's with Raspberry syrup and lemon. It was shaken, not stirred and severed up like a martini. Prince would have given it a thumbs up. After some intense conversations with my buds, I ordered some food and a beer. I typically get their famous burger with fries or the chicken wings, but I got adventurous and ordered the nachos. When I asked the bartender how they were, he said that's what he was having for dinner and showed me his plate which sold me. It may have only been an appetizer, but it was filling and easy to eat while enjoying more convo. I'm a fan of Avery Brewing in Colorado, so I had their White Rascal as my beer. Rockwell is so close to getting a 5 Star rating from me, but they keep missing the mark on the customer service. It's good, but some of the staff treat older customers differently then those their age. This visit, one of them was cold and had attitude. After a few tips, they warmed up and provided friendly service and actually got chatty. So I think next time, they may just get the bump to 5.

Lively atmosphere, bartenders were welcoming and interactive. We ordered the Hot Cheese curds as an appetizer, and I got the Obscura as me beer of choice. Not going to lie, the cheese curds were as advertised! They were hot! Not so much that I couldn't handle but don't take them lightly, they are good. They came drizzled with a good ranch. The beer was great, especially with the hot cheese curds. Ordered the Friday Fish Sando with no cheese. Came out in a timely manner, large and crispy! It was messy in the best way. Crispy, beer battered cod, lettuce, and house made tarter. It was juicy on the inside with none of the batter mush you can sometimes get with fried fish, loved the house made tarter, all-around great sandwich. The fries were on point, too. Crispy but not greasy. Great space, friendly staff, good food!
