Things move quickly in Las Vegas, but not this quickly in most cases. The new Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill has opened at the oft-maligned Hawaiian Marketplace (across Las Vegas Boulevard from Aria), much to the surprise of just about everyone.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
It’s the bottom part. Just think of it as the dugout. Signs are in the works.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill sits in the space formerly occupied by People’s Republic Beer Garden & Kitchen.<\/p>\n

People’s Republic’s last day of operation was Sep. 30, 2015. The first day of operation for Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill was the following day, Oct. 1, 2015. And you thought we were using “literally” incorrectly.<\/p>\n

The restaurant’s official grand opening is Oct. 14, 2015.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
You pretty much can’t have a Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill without, you know, a bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The transition from People’s Republic to Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill was seamless because pretty much everything is the same, except for a new menu and Pete Rose memorabilia throughout the venue.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
When Pete Rose signs baseballs, he often writes, “I’m sorry I bet on baseball.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The establishment’s menu has what you’d expect at a sports bar, including soup and salads, appetizers like pretzels, sliders and wings, as well as the requisite selection of burgers, sandwiches, flatbreads (pizzas to normal people) and American comfort food.<\/p>\n

Fans of “Charlie Hustle” will note some of the menu items are inspired by the 74-year-old slugger and the teams for whom he slugged.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the menu, both front<\/a> and back<\/a>, in a size that will give you less eye strain.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
Please insert your own slider joke here. Because baseball.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Worth noting is the fact everything on the menu has .88 cents tacked onto the price. We asked our Twitter friends<\/a> what the eights represent, since we’re not exactly a sports fan, and they came up with some incredible answers.<\/p>\n

“Hit 2,888 singles in the National League, lifetime.” ~@KevinBillo [He was the all-time Major League hit leader with 4,256.]<\/p>\n

“1988 is when Pete Rose was ejected from a game for shoving a ref.” ~@cathrn [Truth.]<\/p>\n

“That’s the year he was suspended.” ~@donnymac66 [Ditto.]<\/p>\n

“Year he broke Cobb’s record.” ~@Queen_of_Snark [It was actually 1985.]<\/p>\n

“88 walks in 1969?” ~@RolandTomsons [Correct, he led the league in walks that year.]<\/p>\n

“He led the league in walks in 1969 with 88…” ~@dustinofholland [Ditto.]<\/p>\n

“Last year Reds won World Series.” ~@relajuice [The last time was 1990.]<\/p>\n

“He had a 44 game hitting streak one year. I learned that 44 x 2 = 88 in 3rd grade.”  ~@Real_CNote [The streak began on June 14, 1978 and ended Aug. 1, 1978.]<\/p>\n

“1988 was the last full year in the majors as a manager.” ~@BrandonRush [Truth.]<\/p>\n

In the end, @AlfromSanDiego, @billyinlasvegas and @Mitzula were closest to the right answer, as they mentioned an Asian connection. The number eight is lucky in certain Asian cultures, and the owner of Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill, HIG Management, priced menu items as a nod to that superstition.<\/p>\n

HIG Management was also involved in the now-closed F.A.M.E. Asian food court<\/a> at the Linq promenade, but we’ll try not to hold that against them.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
There are a slew of TVs. In Las Vegas, you can’t not.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The specialty cocktail menu has ample choices, all for $13.88 (bottles of beer are $7.88). It’s still the Las Vegas Strip, you know.<\/p>\n

While we hear Pete Rose doesn’t drink very often these days, the menu does contain his personal favorite cocktail, Pete’s Special, with Kettle One vodka and cranberry juice.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full drink menu<\/a> in case you’d like to impress your drinking buddies or something.<\/p>\n

One of the more interesting non-memorabilia decor items is a “Game of Thrones”-inspired throne of bats on the patio of the Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill.<\/p>\n

The throne was built by one of the bartenders, and we can exclusively report the throne is made of 67 bats. Admittedly, it’s been a slow week for exclusives.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
This bad boy goes immediately on our list of must-do photo ops.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill is still settling in with its new theme. The temporary banners outside will soon be upgrade to real signs.<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting location for Pete Rose to launch his first business in Las Vegas. It seems more intuitive for him to have partnered with a Las Vegas casino, but given his controversial gambling habits, it was probably wise to steer clear.<\/p>\n

\"Pete
Bonus: The patio is a pretty sweet spot for people-watching.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pete Rose is expected to drop into the establishment from time-to-time, but in speaking with the staff, it didn’t sound like that would happen too often. How awesome would it be to watch baseball at a bar with Pete Rose, though? We might even have to start watching baseball.<\/p>\n

Please enjoy more photos from the new Pete Rose Sports Bar & Grill at Hawaiian Marketplace on the Las Vegas Strip. Listen, Pete Rose’s name being on the place is new, so we’re just going to go with it.<\/p>\n
