Came here for apps and drinks before attending a comedy show at The Stand up and so glad I did. Natalie was our server and she was awesome! Natalie had such a welcoming cool vibe just how I'd like every waitress and waiter to be. When I come back I'm asking to sit where she's serving. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. I ordered 3 Eastside drinks and all of them were fantastic! We also ordered the Brussels sprouts and bone marrow and wow wow wow delicious. I definitely recommend ordering the apps we ordered and the Eastside drink. My son ordered the Blood orange margarita and he loved it so much he ordered another! I've also tried the Rokka in Whittier and also a great experience! Rokka your employees are awesome! Thank you for the great experience always! read more

We chose this spot for Valentines dinner and it did not disappoint. The pre planned menu was absolutely delicious from start to finish, every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The service was amazing, attentive, warm, and perfectly timed without feeling rushed. The ambiance was special that included romantic lighting, great saxophonist, and a lively yet intimate vibe that made the night extra special. If you're looking for a spot that truly delivers on food, service, and atmosphere for a special occasion, this is it! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Rokka is somewhat tucked away on the southeast corner of Bellflower Blvd and Belmont St. If you aren't looking for it, you may miss it, especially during the day. My husband and I drove past it one evening a couple weeks ago. The amber colored lighting caught our eye so we stopped in. As soon as we entered, we were impressed. The décor and lighting are very attractive. It has a nice bar area, and we were lucky to get the last two seats. Restaurant is clean, seating is comfortable, staff is very courteous, friendly, and professional. Adrian was our bartender and I can't say enough good things about him. He was very helpful with food and drink recommendations. We missed happy hour (ends at 6:00), but it was Tomahawk Tuesday. $85 (regularly $165) for a tomahawk and two sides. I'm not a big red meat person, but my husband is so we went with the special. We chose garlic mashed potatoes and vegetable medley. The meal includes mushroom sauce. All of it was DELICIOUS! The steak, which is carved tableside, was perfectly cooked, potatoes were well seasoned with just a hint of garlic flavor, mushroom sauce was perfect on either the steak or potatoes. Vegetables were carrots, asparagus, and broccolini, still had a slight crisp to them and were delicately seasoned so you could taste the freshness of the vegetables. While we did finish the potatoes, we had 3-4 slices of steak and a few vegetables to take home. Our cocktails were the Rokka New Fashioned (slightly sweet), El Padrino's Old Fashioned, and Blood Orange Margarita. All were smooth and delicious! You can't go wrong with any of them. My husband has a sweet tooth so we ordered the Tiramisu. It was the only item that was a bit disappointing. It was good, but dry so compared to the amazing meal and cocktails we'd just had, it was just ok. The beautiful décor, excellent staff, and delicious food gives diners the sense of being in a downtown restaurant in LA, SF, NY, etc. Rokka is a gem in Bellflower. It isn't inexpensive, but not crazy expensive like restaurants in metropolitan cities. When you consider the ambiance, the quality of service and food, it is worth it. We were very happy with our experience and have been telling our family and friends about it. We will definitely be returning. read more

*Late post* Ambiance: Love the decor! Very clean, and welcoming. Service: Greeted upon arrival by the nicest hostess. Our waiter came over promptly to take our order. He gave great meal & drink choice, since it was my first time dining in. The food and drinks were amazing! Cooked well, and serve hot! The flatbread beef pizza was to die for, I could've ate a whole one by myself. The salmon was cooked perfectly, as well as the noodles. I cant remember what drink I had, but it gave me a nice lil buzz! Lol. Next time I'm in town, I'll have to stop by for dessert! read more

Nice vibe in Bellflower area. Takes a bit for the food to come out, but I am assuming because they are making the food fresh. We got the Tomahawk Tuesday because of the deal. It came with mash potatoes w/ mushroom brown gravy and vegetables. The meat was presented well but definitely can use some salt. Not bad for a hang out place. read more

Rokka Whiskey Bar - Tomahawk Tuesday - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Bellflower, California

We went on a Friday evening, the restaurant is nice, good lights, comfortable seating, nice waitress at the bar. Food well seasoned. We liked everything tasted and the drinks too. The restroom is clean but once I entered I noticed the restroom doesn't match the theme of the restaurant, it is like I enter to a gas station restroom (but super clean) I recommend the restaurant to add a better warm taste in it. But we will definitely come back. read more

The parking can be a little difficult, but that won't keep me away from great food and a great happy hour This has been on my list for a while. They have two locations. One in bellflower and one in Whittier. I've seen pics of their burgers and knew I had to come in Honestly, I passed this place a couple Times. It does creep up on you and is kind of tucked away. Has a really small sign out front It is street parking and then they do have public parking next door but it does fill up with all the other restaurants in the area I came In and our waitress greeted me. She asked if I wanted a table or a booth. I went with the booth option. The booths are HUGE and comfortable. And kind of tucked away from the bar (there was a bunch of TVs playing sports all around and a bunch of people at the bar cheering for a game) They do have plenty seating, but the planner I am made a reservation. Which was a breeze Our awesome waitress brought out water glasses and a huge pitcher of water for the table. Which I loved. Even though we could of refilled it ourselves everytime she passed us she filled our cups I ended up ordering a drink and the bread basket, both from the HH menu while I waited for my girlfriend. The drink was 10 and the bread basket was 5. I really loved the lighting in here as well, it has a really nice atmosphere. Despite all the TVs with sports on it didn't have a sports bar vibe. I saw a lot of people in here dressed up for date night When my girl, Kara arrived we ordered more drinks and we both got the Lava burger. Which is the same size as the full price one for such a good deal on the happy hour menu. We both ordered sides of fries since the lava burger (has bacon, egg and cheese on it. Along with a delicious sauce) only came with a few yucca fries, which we both have never had before. The food was all amazing. It came out extremely fast as well. They have some cool specials during the week. On Tuesday they have a tomahawk special which I am Definitely coming back for. We ended up ordering dessert. Which was a part of their seasonal spring menu (they had some cute spring cocktails on the menu too) it was this delicious chocolate cake. We asked to add ice cream to it It was definitely a great cheat day for the books and I'll definitely come back With family for the tomahawk special P.S- if you are into whisky, then this is your place. I saw a lot of people ordering their whisky flights read more

*Fine Dining Prices without the Fine Dining Service* Had a 7:15 PM reservation at Rokka Whiskey Bar. Went in for the first time especially for Tomahawk Tuesday. 1. They were out of Tomahawks. Server blamed a large party for eating them all. I ordered an alternate meal (pork chops). The server was really nice and sweet, but simply had too many people to serve. 2. Restaurant was understaffed 3. We waited 45 minutes for our dinner 4. I ordered mash potatoes. They were out of mash potatoes!! 5. The porkchops were dry. No sauce, gravy or anything We were not compensated in any way. I won't be going back. There are too many other nice restaurants with similar prices that provide a superior meal. If you do plan on going, make sure there are no big parties that hog the food and service. read more

We liked this area and love to find a new place to eat. It was a Thursday night and we wanted to try a new place. Another highly recommended place on Yelp. Parking is in a local lot at the end of the block. Depends on which day of the week you go as whether you will find a spot. We walked in and got a table immediately. No reservations needed for Thursday night. The drinks were ordered were top notch. Best old fashion around! I tried a different drink and it was well mixed. We ordered sliders for an appetizer. There were 3 and they werent bad. Our meals were ordered and they came out hot and tasty. I guess my only complaint would be the prices. It was pretty expensive as each slider we got for an appetizer averaged $8 each. The dinners were small and pricey too. This place is nice. Would I go back? I would if I were impressing someone or it was a special occasion. For a general Thursday night with friends, I would be hesitant to come back. read more

I had a really great time with my friends, live music great drinks, and the food was so good. I had the coastal trio. My server was Adrian and he was awesome. With the coastal Oscar filet duo & I replaced the Parmesan rice with mashed potatoes, it costs a little extra but it was well worth it. My favorite part was the lemon beurre blanc sauce on the lobster mmmm so good. This place looks like a nice date night spot as well. A vibe with friends or a lover. Go early for a good park if you have reservations though read more

This restaurant has pretty high quality meals . It is a bit pricey however so be ready to spend some money . I ordered the pork belly bites and they were very good . FYI they come with fries .

Driving home from dining in Long Beach, Yelp put this bar on my radar -- an attractive, warm-&-welcoming, dimly-lit bar, within quaint Downtown Bellflower (a first visit to both the restaurant and the city!)! The bartenders were great: friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and appreciative for us stopping in. What a bonus for us that it was Happy Hour (Monday - Friday, 4-6 PM)! Their Baby Rok Sliders (2/$16) were both attractive in presentation and taste. The side dish of Vegetable Medley ($9) off the regular menu was an attractively colorful plate of nicely prepared vegetables. They offer quite an attractive menu, including weekend brunch. Fun, locals vibe! People seated on both sides of us at the bar top made us feel like local regulars too! Eager to return to experience more off their menu. read more

Randomly tried this place by downtown Bellflower. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean and beautiful. They have an outside seating with heating during the cold weather. Went on a Saturday but not much people. There's a guy playing acoustic guitar. Food is ok, nothing exceptional but overall decent. Our server, Michael was great and attentive. Would recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Drinks are good and appetizers as well. Can't speak on main entree's but overall good and good service.

Love this place but tried some new things so had to share my love. We destroyed happy hour tonight! We got the cauliflower, coconut shrimp, calamari steak and lava burger all from happy hour so great deal. Added a side of yucca fries off regular menu because I love them. We got the Citrus Glazed Cauliflower with a citrus sriracha sauce and walnuts. It was only $8 on happy hour! Great for the price, I do wish they were a bit more pan seared and browned. The flavor was great but some texture and searing would it over the top. Coconut shrimp were great! Whatever was their house glaze dipping sauce was sweet and a nice compliment but actually liked them with the house aioli served with the calamari event better. Lava burger comes with grilled onions, cheese, bacon and an egg. My husband ordered this and doesn't a loose egg so ordered it over hard and it was still pretty amazing. Huge this patty with a great flavor, almost felt house round considering their steak cuts because it was richer than a standard ground chuck. Bun had a great rich buttery flavor, would like it toasted a bit more if it had been served with an over easy egg as intended, just so it would hold up but it was perfect for his version. I can't recall the dessert name, it was like a mudslide ice cream cake. Oreo cookie crust, coffee and chocolate ice cream layers. It was exactly as described and delicious. What always makes this place is the environment, from the manager, to the bartender, to our server (Madi tonight) the experience is unique and welcoming. They provide suggestions and even followed up before happy hour ended so we could peer another round. Can't recommend it enough and suggest the before 6 arrival to take advantage of their happy hour. We will be back for Tomahawk Tuesday for sure! Love the new addition of the adjustable table light. We sit at the bar so we can watch the TVs and I often struggle to see menus and love not having to use my phone light and can be discrete (insert old joke here). read more

Good value on tuesdays. $85 tomahawk steak is ridiculously good value and the flavor was good. Also had the mac and cheese (it was ok - my wife liked it more) and sweet potato fries. The sliders were deliciously tender and fatty brisket. The chicken wings were just ok. All in all, i'd go again but mostly on a tuesday. If not a tuesday then i'd get those sliders exclusively. Very tasty and cheaper during happy hour. read more

My husband and I went to the Sunday Brunch at 10:30. The server we had was a delight. She was tentatively and explained the questions we had. The food was very good and we enjoyed it very much. The restaurant it self was very inviting. It was very clean and the music was set to the right volume where you could hold a conversation without having to be load. The only semi-negative comment I would say would be that we went early enough after church, that we thought we would beat the crowd. We were correct, there was only 2 other tables when we got there. But one of the tables was extremely loud and a great deal of profanity came from the table. We understood that it is a bar and grill, and that the table was drinking, but to come to a brunch at 10:30 am, we thought that they shiuld have been asked to lower the volume slightly. But over all we would definitely come back. read more

I have a feeling this will be our favorite neighborhood bar/restaurant because my husband and I went twice in a week. We walked in and it was pretty empty (both times). Good for us because that means personal and attentive service. We sat at the bar both times and had amazing service, but I will say that service is slow because they appear to be understaffed. Albeit challenging to right size staffing considering inconsistent patronage. Let's talk about the food and drinks. 5 STARS!!!! Like seriously, 5 STARS!!! We tried a few of their crafted cocktails: Oaxacan Fashioned, Blood Orange Margarita, Whiskey Sour, and Penicillin. Our favorite were all except the Blood Orange Margarita. Too sweet and not enough of alcohol (didn't taste any alcohol really). The Oaxacan Fashioned will probably be what I order every time. I love me a good old Mezcal drank. As far as food, we went during happy hour and ordered just about everything on the menu (don't you be over there reading this judging us lol): Sweet & Spicy wings, coconut shrimp, short rib sliders, yucca fries, cauliflower, and a few others that I can't remember and forgot to take a pic of. Our next visit, I had the lava burger. Hands down the best burger I've had in a very long time- beef burger with fried egg, bacon, garlic aioli, and cheese. Oh and their signature sauce: some type of tamarind/sweet & sour sauce is fire!!! As for the ambiance, it gives whiskey bar/speakeasy/lounge vibes. The bartender said they have live music on some nights. To the owner and Yelp Community Managers, let's get a Yelp event planned in the near future so that we can help Rokka get more business/exposure. read more

Came here for a bday dinner for my husband. Service was subpar, lady took a bit long to take our orders. We asked for two bread baskets and they only gave us one, so we asked for one more but they charged us for 3 bread baskets. Luckily we checked the receipt... Our food took a little long which was expected but one of my friends order was wrong so we ended up having to wait even longer for it. Drinks were good but overall experience was not where we wanted it to be. We still had a great time catching up but service could've been better. read more

My friend was in town and wanted to grab a drink. Since I'm a whiskey girl, I had this place bookmarked for a while now and decided to try it. Nestled in the heart of Bellflower, Rokka Whiskey Bar is a gem for an upscale dining experience. We went on Friday evening soley for drinks, however. We were able to find parking on the side street right next to the door. Upon walking in, we were enveloped in a warm, dark ambiance that sets the perfect mood for a relaxed evening. We were greeted immediately and was seated at a booth (which I requested). The drink menu caters to all tastes, whether you prefer your whiskey neat, on the rocks, or in a creatively concocted cocktail. We ordered two drinks: Pain Killer Barrel (aged house blended Caribbean rum, orange juice, pineapple juice, coconut cream, fresh nut meg) and The Gold Rush (Evan Williams bourbon, lemon juice, honey). Both drinks were heavily crafted. My friend said their Pain Killer was just the right balance of sweetness and bitterness. I really wanted to order their Old Fashion but I was 'good' after one drink since I was driving. While drinking, we decided to order their Artisan Breadbasket (German Pretzel * French Brioche * Asiago Cheese * Walnut Cranberry * Ciabata Roll. Served with Lemon Butter) to soak up the whiskey we were consuming which did the trick. In short, Rokka Whiskey Bar offers an exceptional drinking experience. Its dark, inviting atmosphere and superbly crafted drinks make it a must-visit for anyone looking to unwind with a quality whiskey in hand. We will definitely be back for drinks and dinner next time! read more
