New Outdoor Patio Debuts At Rookies All-American Pub In Geneva

GENEVA, IL — A newly constructed, extensive patio has officially opened at Rookies All-American Pub and Grill in Geneva.

The Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles chambers of commerce celebrated the addition at the restaurant off the Fox Valley Ice Rink with a ribbon-cutting ceremony May 31. Rookies owner Bob Karas and Rookies Geneva Manager Grant Werner were joined by city and Chamber officials, family and mascots — Rusty, of Chicago Steel, and Ozzy Cougar, of Kane County Cougars — and the event.

The new patio faces Kirk Road and has more than tables for dining. It also features a music stage, container bar and lounge seating. The area is also available to rent for private functions, officials said.

Until now, diners at the Geneva Rookies have been able to sit and overlook the hockey rink at the arena. Rookies also operates six other restaurants in the Chicagoland area, including St. Charles, Elgin and Huntley.

Rookies All-American Pub in Geneva is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
