No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
If you're reading Yelp, you don't want to go here. Â I'm a roguish sort, and I don't care for the place much, but I've been here dozens of times over the years, before it was even renamed Rookies. Â
First of all, this is the single smokiest bar on the entire planet. Â Spend any more than 2 minutes in this place and you'll reek of stale secondhand smoke. Â Gross. Â The bathroom is positively nasty. Â I can't tell if the ammonia smell is from cleaning products seldom used, or from urine. Â Either way, it's certainly no "rest"room. Â
They do have relatively inexpensive prices. Â Beer and cocktails alike are very reasonable. Â They host karaoke and have live singers/bands every weekend. Â Truth told, the entertainment is pretty good. Â The biggest problem lies elsewhere.
The folks that frequent this place are not a savory lot. Â This is a place that opens early in the day and the construction crews, bikers, and general blowhards arrive with the opening and they begin drinking... heavily. Â The folks at this place frequent several of this same type bar up and down Ft Campbell Blvd, you'll see the same characters at about 4 or 5 other places, but that's irrelevant. Â Look at someone the wrong way, say the wrong thing, or just be in the wrong place at the wrong time and you're in for trouble. Â
This is a place for people with only the thickest of skin. Â Unless you're a professional wrestler, you should avoid this place. Â I've seen too many fights, assaults and the like in this place.. among women, too! Â There aren't many quality places to have a nice time with cocktails in Clarksville, but regardless how desperate you get, don't go here.
