:::A ROCKFORD TRADITION:::
The Olympic Tavern was founded in 1945 by Anthony Rotello (pictured above & right). Originally serving local businessmen and factory workers a burger and a beer, The Olympic Tavern quickly grew into a full service restaurant and bar.

Through several renovations, Anthony and his son Thomas grew the business from a 12-stool bar into the 230+ seat restaurant that exists today.

The Olympic Tavern's formula for success is simple; listen to the customer and deliver more than they expect. There's everything from burgers to lobster tails on the menu, a big wine list and HUGE craft beer menu.
