Rockaway Athletic Club

The Rockaway Athletic Club is a Columbia neighborhood institution. From it's first incarnation as a latter-day speakeasy, to a burger pub without equal, it remains an anchor for the Rosewood area.
The only reason for less than five stars is that I, as a long time customer, really miss their more expansive menu of old.

This place has been amazing for years! I recommend their pimento cheese fries. Attentive service and a nice date night feel.

Amazing little hidden spot right off of Rosewood Drive. There is no sign so you have to pay attention or you'll miss it quick. Try the cheese burgers or especially the pimento cheeseburgers for the most delicious mouth-watering treat! I have a fully stocked bar from floor to ceiling that is really beautiful to look at and if you are a liquor connoisseur this is absolutely the bar for you they have everything from everywhere.

I was not sure about this place at first. I soon discovered that the atmosphere is unique with wooden masks hanging on a wall near the bar. A mural of Marilyn Monroe on the side wall near the bar. The food is very good especially the burgers and fried pickles. If you are looking for an unique restaurant and bar give this place a try.

This is a great little hideaway place. I personally like it for the convince of walking distance. The pimento cheese burger they make is every bit as good as the reviews say. The staff is friendly, efficient, and keep your glass full. Great pricing and good times what more can you ask for. Also great selection on adult beverages.
