rivals sports bar & nightclub

We have been to Rivals several times now, mostly with friends and to listen to local bands and musicians play. The bar is excellent, the selection of beers and drinks has something for everyone. The service staff is professional and accommodating. The food is okay, my understanding is that the kitchen is tiny for such a large place, so I am sure they are doing the best they can with nachos and standard pub fare. Families and kids can be comfortable here as well, which is nice - especially with Crayola right around the corner. The stage and sound system are a nice touch, and we enjoy hearing local bands here. Much appreciated is the fact that the owners are so supportive of the School of Rock, giving these kids a great venue to show their talents....so sometimes we just come for a nice beer and music.
