Rooney's Food & Spirits

Great bar !   First time visit saturday night.  Friendly staff, very comfortable, great atmosphere.  I had the chicken Cordon Bleu with side salad, housemade pasta salad & asparagus.  Chicken was crunchy on the outside, moist inside, really delicious !   Side salad was super fresh, great veggies.  Husband had the Mondo Plate I think it was called, big plate with bacon wrapped & stuffed jalapeno's, deep fried pickles, wings & tater tots, WOWZA !  Husband really enjoyed it, I had to try the fried pickle, it was really tasty & different.   The entire menu looked fantastic, I had a hard time deciding what to order.  I can't wait to go back, next time maybe will try the street taco's.  I was spying on other peoples food while we were there, the sliders & the street tacos looked great.  Can't believe this place is in our home town, and we had never tried it before.  You gotta try this place !

Service: quick

I've been here a few times with people from work for lunch. The entrance looks a bit sketchy being under some stairs, but walk in and you'll find a pretty nice bar setting.

The drinks are reasonably priced and the food is delicious. Much more like restaurant quality food than bar food, although it is mostly burgers and sandwiches.

Lunchtime is usually pretty empty, so you can play a game of pool or Golden Tee while you're waiting for food, and the bartender/waitresses have always been awesome. Sometimes they can get a little overwhelmed as there are usually only a couple people working the floor, but the expectations are always set accordingly and taking an extra few minutes out of the office for lunch is always nice.

Definitely not an "every day" place for me, but once every couple months we'll stop in for a quality burger and a beer.
