Rudy's Bar

Great beer selection, terrific music, and genuinely friendly service. Glad I found this place, and hope to come back!

We sat at the bar for a quick bite to eat on our visit to see Yale. Our bartender was so friendly and welcoming, he made you feel like we were friends for years! He made a fresh batch of bloody Mary mix and it was one of the best I've had! My salmon tacos were ok. Salmon was a little dry but I appreciated the crispy edges. I did take the tenders recommendation to add a little salt and lemon which helped. My husbands ceasar salad with chorizo was very tasty, he also enjoyed the wide variety of more unique draft options! This place was great and just down our alley!

Really fun and chill bar. Our server Ricky was awesome and friendly. Super cool dude to converse with and the happy hour prices were great! Can't go wrong stopping by.

My brother and I were in town visiting family and came here early in the afternoon and had the pleasure of being served by Kevin who was super nice and accommodating. The food was also very tasty and affordable. We had the chicken quesadilla which was delicious and split a BLAT with fries. All of the fries come with a choice of like 20 dipping sauces. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. we made many friends at the bar and would be regulars if we lived in the area.

Located at a very inconspicuous corner, this bar is a real gem. You have a lot of options for different beers on tap (many of them served cold in glasses bearing the name of the drink you choose). They also have happy hours (which I plan on exploiting soon)! The ambience is nice and laid back, the service is good - the best part though is the food. This has been my 4th visit - fish and chips, fries, burritos and (this time) the chicken tacos were all AMAZING. You wouldn't expect to find such breathtaking food being served in such an unassuming, fun setup. Do make sure you ask for the garlic tomato ketchup and wonder how you ever lived in the past so joylessly without it. If you're within 20-30 mins of this place, give it a visit!

Well, this place is fine, nice selection of beers, cool Belgian thing going on. However. Having been away for 20 years I was devastated to see that Rudy's had relocated from it's iconic spot and has a completely different vibe and dang I was sad. So many memories in the old place. So yeah, this place is decent, but if you are coming back after a long time away, know now you will be disappointed.

Best dinner experience in New Haven while visiting from NY. I had the Cesar salad and ribeye steak, both were delicious. Five star dining on a beer budget! Highly recommend. Also great selection of craft beers both local and international. Very friendly atmosphere.
