About this business

No, not root beer, Root Ball. Root Bar Number One claims to be the birthplace of Root Ball, a game involving tossing a ring and a ball. It is a popular sport at the bar, especially on the weekends. Yet Root Ball is not the only entertainment. Root Bar Number One is a live music venue, getting a wide variety of acts playing only original music most Thursday and weekend nights. They have a large selection of beers hailing from Europe. Try their house beer, Longleg fuggles-hop Ale, or Bad Elf, only available during the holidays... read more

Friendly folks from around the area Plenty of good spirits and music Great outside area with music, Rootball and other cool stuff. We really enjoy Jason the bartender. He is quite the character and is on point with service This place is nothing fancy, it's cozy, laid back and relaxing. No food, you can bring you own or have a pizza delivered. A taco trucks does park outside the bar some nights. No smoking inside but plenty of room outside to smoke. Great place

Every year for the last (soon to be) 4 years anywhere from 7-15 of us have visited the Tail of the Dragon and stayed on Tunnel Road. Year 1 we stumbled upon this establishment and every year we look forward to spending time here as much as we do driving the trip. Fantastic people and Root Ball is almost unbeatable for a “backyard” game. Can’t wait for the first weekend in May this year!

The Root bar used to be a great place for locals and their families to go to have a great time. They have recently turned. They do not allow kids anymore and the way the staff, owner and patrons treated my friends last night was uncalled for. The bartender and Very rude patrons sent their son away from the pool table crying. My friends and I who are locals ( manyi with kids who have visited the roof bar in the past) won't be going to the root bar anymore. We will leave them to the tourists and "the new order" of patrons they... read more

Business response:

We did talk about this with the Parents and the staff within HOURS of this event. We still feel pretty strongly that the bartender was not rude. We can not control what comes out of other patrons' mouths, but we do try pretty hard to help create a sa…See More
