| - Ever had a PBR out of a frosted glass? No? I doubt many in this world have, but I was initiated to the exclusive club when I sat my toosh down on a particularly cozy stool at Rude Boy, upper Roncy's nearly-new bar-avec-burgers.
Went on a Wednesday night. Most of the tables were full so we sat at the bar and were made to feel right at home. Owner Faze kept the drinks coming and chatted with us about how Rude Boy came to be. His and his partners' mission, a smart one, was to turn the space into something the neighbourhood was missing. I'd say it's a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED--and I'm not talking about Rude Boy fulfilling a burger restaurant gap in Roncy, although it may. I'm talking about the vintage fridge behind the bar, the wicked chandelier, the playlist that sounds like your old faves/most played count on your itunes (I recall some Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura, off the top of my head). I'm talking about the PERFECT PLACE FOR A DRINK. On a city block brimming with good ol' pubs that feature nightly live music acts, this place is a breath of fresh air. There's a new kid on the block, and I'm crushin--he's, like, so cool!
As far as food goes, the Colossal Onion rings--you get about 10 of em and they are truly colossal--were some of the best I've had in my life. In addition to the ballpark mustard they come with, we asked for Rude Boy's Sirracha Mayo; definitely a good call, that stuff is way tasty.
Can't wait to try the burger--we may have a 5th star on the horizon.
