I think Rookies has generated more Yelp interest in it's first few weeks than it's prior owners did in the years that it was called Coopers.    

If you own the place you probably shouldn't review it, I'm just sayin (and no I'm not talking about this Yelp entry for Rookies, there's another one).

One big improvement on Coopers is the beer choices on tap.  Coopers most of the time when I went there had Bud and Bud Lite.  Rookies on the other hand also has Avalanche and Samuel Adams.  That's a huge improvement.  They also have a full bar as before.   I didn't order off the menu because it was happy hour and instead had the $1 tacos.  The ground beef was way over-salted but the ingredients were fresh and the salsa (both a red and verde salsa) were surprisingly good for a sports bar.  I'm picky about salsa so that was a five-star salsa all right.  The rest was decent.  Bartenders were cool.  I don't have any complaints really and I'll definitely go back.  I'd have to try something off the actual menu and watch a game before deciding if this is a 4-star or above sports bar.

In 39 years it's one of the few churches I've been to where I wasn't bored out of my mind most of the time.  Been taking the family here for about 6 months and it's the only chuch I've been to that I actually look forward to attending.  I don't even like most Christian music but the church band at Flatirons is excellent.  The sermons are always relevant and meaningful.   And they have free bagels and coffee.  What more could you want.  They also do a lot in the community as well as sponsoring charity work in places like Afghanistan.  If you've given up on church in the past and are thinking about trying it out again this would be an excellent one to check out.  They have a ton of services because they've grown so much but whichever one you attend, plan on showing up about 15min early because it gets packed.  Oh yeah and this is a bible-based Christian church in case anyone is wondering.

Definitely plan on eating here again.  Would have never thought to eat here but read some yelp reviews and figured I'd take my Dad since he was visiting from out of town.  Food and service were excellent.  Doesn't look like much from the outside but decorated nicely on the inside.  I had a pork dish, forgot what it was called but ate everything on my plate it was so good.  The $3 happy hour margarita didn't hurt either.
