Great place to hang out. Keep an eye for that door, not very noticeable from the street, but once you find it..head down the stairs and plenty of chairs, seats, three bars, billiard tables, shuffle boards, dart boards, and more. Have Fun.
A dive bar that is nonetheless clean, well run, and has a great bar staff. Pool tables, dart boards, and foosball all available. The music is unnecessarily loud, but that isn’t unique to Rocket. We rocket scientists like it a lot. Oh, yeah, great happy hour prices.
Great time! Enjoyed a few drinks before the Caps game and then a few after! Bar staff was friendly and served quickly, despite being busy. Drinks were delicious and fair priced for the DC area.
One of my favorite bars in Chinatown. Awesome drink deals with games like pool and darts.
Cut my hand on glass the incompetent servers left on the shuffle board table. Nobody except the white bartender gave me a bandage. I demanded my money back as I didn't even play a whole game and the black guy distributing the pucks said no and asked if I thought I was tough or something and he wasn't afraid of me. I simply wanted my money back not to fight an uneducated incompetent minimum wage loser he was instigating. I end up getting kicked out. Next day I look at my credit card statement and had a full refund.
Dear management at a rocket Bar: hire employees that actually care, not people trying to fight me because I asked for a refund.
This bar has three bars in one! so service is fast. There is loads of pool tables, darts, drinks are cheap and not bad. You can actually socialize in this bar as it is not to loud I'll most definitely recommend this place as I will be going back!
A good bar for sports and games. There is a surprising amount of room given its location, so you wont be shoulder to shoulder. The shuffleboard seemed a little overpriced but not terrible.
Can get pretty busy. Have some pool tables, shuffleboard tables, dart boards, and board games among other things. Great place to hang out and watch a game as well.
Good draft beer selection. Lots of fun bar games. Can get busy with a wait for the pool table.
Cool little game bar. Prices are fair and selection is nice. People here are cool. Game selection is alright. Neat little dive bar.
Rocket Bar holds a special place in my heart. It's a great dive bar that, as the night goes on, smells like the Caps locker room. Prices are good for DC, beer selection is good, and they have a full bar. Shuffleboard and pool prices aren't too bad either, and there are a lot of tables available. Great place that I try to go back to every time I'm in DC.
I usually stop here every time I'm in D.C. Like others it was a random discovery but it has a nice, quirky charm to it. Good selection of taps and house (space themed) cocktails. Again, not the cheapest but pretty good for being in the center of town. Great staff too!
