I stopped in with my young adult son, randomly, to get a late lunch. We discovered that they offered a Tomahawk Steak on Tuesdays for a huge bargain. In my case, it was my first ever Tomahawk that I ended up splitting. My son picked Yucca Fries and Mac and Cheese as sides. It was wonderfully served and presented to us along with some delicious coconut shrimp appetizers and Old Fashions!! Neither of us were disappointed and continue to rave about the experience to anyone within our circles that will listen nearly a week later. Our server was Mike and it was based on his recommendations that we went with the shrimp and Old Fashions. Everything; the service, the meal, the drinks was amazing. Will be back soon!! read more

Visited twice in one week! If you're looking for a brunch spot don't miss out on Rokka. We went to celebrate a birthday and it was perfect. The tables were already set and our waiter Jay was great attending to a large group. Drinks - we tried various drinks from the bourbon, porn star and espresso martini and all were 10/10! Food - the food was all prepared well. I tried the protein omelette and it was tasty and I liked that it had sun dried tomatoes giving it a nice flavor. The pancakes were soft and fluffy! Recommend tried the breakfast potatoes too Parking- the restaurant is on a Main Street but there is limited street parking. If you go around the corner there is FREE parking in the lot across the street read more

So decided to try the tomahawk Tuesdays. I got there roughly 6:45 pm ordered a drink for me and my girl ,so our drinks arrive which I thought there were our drinks wrong the server only gave me my beer and my girls drink was in tray as well but he took it ànd gave it to another table . So we waited 7 more minutes to get my girls drink so we can cheer together after that time my beer was warm but ok It was a mistake so I let it go or was it just careless Who knows . So I ordered some coconut shrimp for an app . Which were ok . And then we ordered a whiskey salad which was good ànd I ordered my tomahawk a medium well which I was splitting with my girl . So we finished our appetizer ànd salad . Ànd no steak yet . Ordered 2 more drinks finished them and nothing . Then I notice a couple that came in 25 mins after us getting their steak and I was questioning myself like where is mine . Then another couple that came in 45 mins after me got theirs . So then I was concerned ànd call the waitress and asked Whats going on she was very defensive telling me medium well takes longer that medium rare that's why they got theirs before me . How is that possible when 1 couple came in 25 mins after me and the other 45 mins after . So then the manager comes and tells me they cook the medium rare first then the medium well . So let me get this straight i had to wait 45 mins for someone to arrive so they can cook theirs first . It doesn't make sense . As management she shouldn't lie or cover up for anyone else mistakes or lack or work performance. On the contrary she was defensive and thought it was ok to bring a steak after waiting 1 hr and 15 for a steak after it was ordered . She came after I ordered a box to go If I wanted a free desert . Like really à desert. No I would have been a ok with honesty ànd treated fairly ànd tell me they screwed up. I wish owner ship reads this ànd reviews their surveillance video . This Is steak house not à fast food joint I am paying for service ànd to get treated well The food was decent but the service and management is poor ,eventually they will run the customers always if nothing changes . read more

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

Tried Rokka for the first time tonight. This will be a regular for a special evening out. My Hubbie had the approval from his boss to charge a dinner to him for our anniversary. And we went all out. We started with cocktails. Hubbie ordered the Rokka New Fashion; whiskey with bitters and an orange twist. I had a sip and that sh*t was smooth!! I ordered the Hot Model which was vodka with jalepeno syrup. Nice kick! We ordered the bone marrow appetizer. Others may crickle their nose, but spread that goo on a crostini and it is heaven. Hubbie ordered the Coastal Oscar Filet Duo: steak, coconut shrimp, rice and asparagus. I got my bites in and it was really good. I may order that next time. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and the Whisky Salad. Perfectly cooked medium rare. The dressing on the salad was awesome. I wouldn't mind getting the salad with chunks of steak. We took the Tiramisu home for desert. OMG!!! Decedent!! Big stars for this place. The staff was friendly and attentive. This will be on repeat for special occasions. We didn't tell the staff but it was our 20th wedding anniversary. Worth every penny of his boss's money. Thanks Boss! Definitely try Rokka Whiskey Bar! read more

Great drink menu and great food choices. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered their pork belly which was okay but their lava burger was a disappointment, especially for $22. I asked for it medium and it came out almost raw and flavorless. It is a rarity for me to leave anything on my plate ( grew up poor with 3 brothers) I could not bring myself to finish it. I would have given them 3 stars but they had a number of rum drinks and the Painkiller redeemed a point. read more

My hour joined me here in February for my birthday. Another choir member enjoyed so much he chose to celebrate here as well Service was excellent as always. She handled our orders like the pro she is. I tried the coconut shrimp. It was quite tasty. A couple of the other members tried the Cesar salad. Also satisfied with their choices. A good time was had by all. Looking forward to our next visit read more

Went for a few drams on a Saturday night while watching baseball. They have a pretty good selection of whiskey, albeit some can be a bit pricey. Bartenders were very helpful and courteous. If I'm looking for a nice whiskey to sip on for a bit vs getting several drinks in, would recommend. read more

FRIENDS...Soooooo, I visited Rokka AGAIN in Bellflower for my bestfriend Tees's bday. We had reservations but (of course, walk-ins are welcomed). Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by XAVIER who is also a manager and he is SUPER COOL! I called him and gave him a heads up that we would be walking in shortly and his exact words were "Great J, see you soon." Service was fantastic, Food incredible & the atmosphere was amazing!!!! This is a great date nite spot, weekend brunch eatery or quick Happy Hour joint. No matter your desire, ROKKA IS 4U!!! It's in the heart of Bellflower and is beautifully decorated inside. Sit @the bar or request a booth or eat in their patio...the choice is totally yours! ENJOY 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

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

*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

BEWARE if you come eat here and pay with card. Make sure to take a picture of your receipt including tip. I came for brunch this past weekend and while I normally don't take pictures of my receipts, best believe I will from now on. My $14 tip was not enough they decided to add another $6. THIS IS FRAUD and I will be disputing this with my bank since I only agreed to pay $94.67 not $100.67. I thought it was strange that none of the receipts they gave me had a signature line, I still signed it. 2 different waitresses served us, Marzjele and Natalie/Natalia. I will be filing a claim with the FTC in the event that this is a reoccurring trend that others have hopefully reported. I went to speak with a GM however there were none available. I was disappointed to hear that they were all aware of this upsetting issue since the morning and nobody bothered to reply to my inquiry which was left on their website. This included my email and phone number. As of today I have yet to hear from a GM or the owners who per the young lady I spoke with yesterday would be very embarrassed to hear what is going on in their establishment. I don't think they care. So this is how Rokka addresses customer issues, ignoring them until the customer comes by in person. I can't wait til this place is replaced by another business. read more

We went to Sunday brunch at Rokka. We had reservations for 5, our table was already set up for us and we were seated immediately. Bar and restaurant has a nice ambiance. Wait staff were very good. Drinks are pretty and tasty. The food was plated beautifully. Large portions and terrific quality. One of my most favorite restaurant experiences! read more

I'll start with the overall ambience and experience, we were greeted immediately as we walked in making us feel welcomed from the get go. Our server was Mike and he was magnificent, he was attentive and very friendly. That alone makes us want to come back, when you have ppl like that whom make you feel appreciated for coming in and taking a chance on a business. He made excellent recommendations and even invited us to come back to check out Whiskey Wednesday being that he took notice of our appreciation for a good Old Fashion. The food was delicious, and cooked to perfection. We look forward to come back and try out more on the menu. read more

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

Went for Sunday brunch was a little disappointing. We were told they only have one waitress and that food may take up to 45 minutes before you get it, but it took 30 minutes. I had the Shrimp and Grits which were a little overcooked and could use some sauce. The waitress was very polite. 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

Love the vibe and ambiance. Typically visit Rokka on weeknights so never an issue getting a table, not sure what business levels are like on the weekend and if you need a reservation. We stopped in one night because we were utilizing the EV chargers by the bank and wanted to grab a bite and it has now become a regular spot we enjoy. Love the food here and reasonably priced. read more

This was my second visit to Rokka. I stopped in for a friend's birthday dinner. It was a nice size party and all of the staff were on top of their game. Service was fast and food was delicious.

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

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.

Would recommend this place if you're in the area. 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

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

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

I'm late to review but came in this past Tomahawk Tuesday because of how amazing the food looks on here. The manager explained to us that there are varying wait times for our steak based on how well we would like it cooked. I appreciated the heads up from her. She was very friendly and checked on us multiple times throughout our wait & we got to try out some apps. HIGHLY recommend the bone marrow! It's also safe to say that the wait for the steak paid off because it was cooked to perfection! To top it off, the service was amazing. Everyone was so attentive and friendly! Will be visiting again soon! 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

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
