Rocco's

Rocco's is the dive bar of Swisshelm Park. It is tucked away on a residential street next to a pizza parlor and it looks exactly like you would expect it to. When you walk in there is a huge horseshoe bar that takes up almost the entire main floor. The floor is black and white checkered tile, the lights are dim, and chances are that if you were there last weekend you will be there this weekend as well. It is 100% a local bar. There is a smaller bar and some more seating up a half flight of stairs, but that space is mainly used for parties and the occasional karaoke night.

Are you ever going to Rocco's? Probably not. We would certainly never recommend anyone to go out of their way, but this is one of our local bars so we feel like we can give it a bit of a shout out. You probably wouldn’t be able to get a seat, even if you found it. It’s a surprisingly popular spot and not very big. We have had a lot of fun at Rocco's. It is really a no pretense kind of place. We have danced and sang and taken over the entire upper floor of the bar. Plus, we can stumble home. Well, at least A and C can and have. There is not much to this place, but as with most things, it is not where you are but who you are with that makes a night fun.
