Rookies Sports Bar

First off I will start by saying most of the bars in Clarksville are very subpar. This place is definitely one of the worst ones. I came on a Saturday night and my first impression was the small amount of people in the bar and their age. Basically there was about 12 people total in the building none of them looked below 50 aside from the bartenders. Second thing I noticed was the music. I would’ve been better off listening to a local radio station than the DJ that was there. The one and only decent thing in there was the cheaply priced light beer and the bartenders. One seemed pretty and nice the other seemed okay, she didn’t seemed to motivated to be working there. After a couple beers I then noticed a verbal altercation between a guest and who I assume was a bouncer. The only thing I will say about that is I’ve never witnessed a more unprofessional employee of any business in my life. He was very aggressive using excessive profanity and disrespect. I would’ve thought being a bouncer in this town you would be used to drunken nonsense but apparently not. I was waiting for him to start knocking people out in his extreme rage. After that I decided unless you’re above 40 and a lifelong resident of Clarksville, TN then this bar should just be avoided at all costs. However I do say this as a man in his mid 20s, so if old people bad music and cheap beer are your thing then this place is perfect.

This is the bar for trashy locals to drink cheap beer and dance to 70/​80s rock and karaōke. It’s a rough place, a little rundown, VERY smoky and generally not kept up. Average age of the crowd is probably 45 – 50, lots of older lifelong Clarksvillians and bikers. The only real incentive to come here is if you want $ 2 bottle beer on a Saturday night. They don’t accept credit/​debit either (ATM on premises.)
We were invited here by my husband’s older coworkers, stayed about an hour… had to move tables to avoid an obnoxious drunk guy who kept interrupting our conversation to ask where all the women were. Made excuses to leave, went straight home for a steaming hot shower.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
If you’re reading Unilocal,you don’t want to go here. 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.
First of all, this is the single smokiest bar on the entire planet. Spend any more than 2 minutes in this place and you’ll reek of stale secondhand smoke. Gross. The bathroom is positively nasty. I can’t tell if the ammonia smell is from cleaning products seldom used, or from urine. Either way, it’s certainly no «rest“room.
They do have relatively inexpensive prices. Beer and cocktails alike are very reasonable. They host karaōke and have live singers/​bands every weekend. Truth told, the entertainment is pretty good. The biggest problem lies elsewhere.
The folks that frequent this place are not a savory lot. 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. 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. 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.
This is a place for people with only the thickest of skin. Unless you’re a professional wrestler, you should avoid this place. I’ve seen too many fights, assaults and the like in this place. among women, too! 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.
