This is the one bar you want to visit in chattanooga when you have defeated all of the other dive bar bosses and you think you are ready to take on the king boss. Great place, cold beers, great pours, golden tee, pool tables, super sketchy rear parking lot. I love Rob's

Rob's Restaurant and Lounge, is a hidden gem! It's best place for karaoke this side of the river! Also, to my knowledge, there isn't a better value in Chattanooga, as far as bars go. That goes for both drinks and food, great prices! The food has always been great, but If you haven't been in awhile they've hired a new chef, Every dish I've had from Chef Nick has been delicious. if you were downtown, you'd easily be charged two to three times as much.

A small town man, found a small town type bar, and had a great time with friends I'd never even met before stepping on into Rob's! I will most definitely be back! Great top shelf bourbon selection and decent karaoke sound system too.

contrary to popular belief this is not a place like most bars. this is not a place for selling drugs this is not a place for repping colors this is not a place for trying to get women it's not a place for trying to start fights it's simply just a perfect hole in the wall bar where are you can socially drink with grown folks and like-minded people sing karaoke 5 days a week from 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. as well as play free pool and free darts as much as your heart desires as well as drink specials server industry appreciation days on Wednesday basically the best spot downtown to have a good time no matter what I am so thankful for this place and I hope it continues to prosper.

The place was chosen at random! We're visiting the area and wanted to check out a local place. From the outside, there wasn't anything that was telling about the inside. It's a bar with some tables and pool tables. Walking in was a bit of a surprise. Lovely DJ / karaoke host named Deb welcomed us warmly (great gal awesome personality). Rob, the owner and cook, was cool, too - the food menu is small. We had cheese sticks, some interesting breaded and fried mushrooms, and a quesadillia - surprisingly good. After a few songs. We all had a wonderful time. Made lots of new friends (and not just cos there was a bar - I was drinking soda). Side note walking to the bathroom was a bit apprehensive cos it looked sketchy, but the woman bathroom was clean and spacious. FYI- this place does allow smoking inside.

This place is always a good time. The perfect little dive bar on a Friday or Saturday night We love the karaoke parking is defintely rough but doesn’t bother us as we Uber anyways. People are always friendly and you’re bound to run into at least a couple people you know. Total Cheers vibe.
