Hey Folks!

Just a reminder to be kind to our bar staff and the pub space when visiting the Rook. We want everyone to have a good time and to stay safe, that means following pool table guidelines and sign in expectations. We understand the pool table is in high demand, and we want to make sure everyone has a chance to play!

It also means kindly respecting our security and bar staff when they remind you of our rules. We will not tolerate patrons being disrespectful to our staff members.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping the Rook a safe, enjoyable and welcoming space for all!
