Rudy’s

I had never been here before and truthfully it’s unlikely that I would have ever gone here on my own. However, a friend of mine mentioned about going here and I decided to meet her. I went on a Saturday night. There was karaōke. On a Saturday. Typically a red flag that the place will be empty. Here not so, it was packed!
Inside is an unassuming bar with plenty of seating and tables. Tables and stools filled with people. It isn’t a new place but it looks like things are kept up fairly well. They have many different types of beer on tap and even more bottled and canned beers. They also have most flavors of liquor one could desire. There’s a room with a pool table in the back and I believe darts. There’s quite the nice smoking area and Tiki bar outside.
Prices are extremely reasonable. They have beer towers! This always makes me excited. a 64 ounce tower of macro swill ran $ 8.00. That’s roughly a $ 1.50 a beer people. And that was the small tower. They have bigger ones as well. I have no idea how much they cost but I’m sure it’s a great deal. I think my individual pints started at $ 2, went to $ 3, and then back to $ 2 with a staff member who rotated in to assist. Still, it wasn’t worth crying over.
I know they serve food. A basket of wings came out of the kitchen area looking pretty good. I didn’t have any as I was full of rollbraten, brat with kraut, and a pretzel from an earlier Oktoberfest adventure but I will check it out next time.
The people? Well they were great. everyone was very friendly, everyone was very jovial. Age wise there was a good spread across the board. Man could some of these people sing and those that weren’t as great really put their hearts into it. Bravo. I didn’t witness anything but smiles on people faces. This is great to see since so many of these smaller bars have at least a few people scowling in the corner.
I only lament that there isn’t a place of this overall quality closer to my home. I guess I’ll have to come back again and crash on my friends couch next time.
