Being on Mill Ave intrinsically puts Rula in a negative light..... despite its stereotype-ridden location consisting of the frat boy, psuedo hipster, loud and brash crowd, Rula is a nice little bar/restaurant and one of my first choices if I need to be on Mill Ave.
Always and forever my favorite thing will be the cute/quaint (yes its possible to use those adjectives for a Mill Ave bar) outdoor patio in back. Its really quite lovely with lighted trees and a semi-private location. There is a full/large bar outdoors too in addition to all the dining tables.
*Spicy potato balls and the chicken sandwich are really great... everyone always raves about their food and I can't disagree*
the happy hour is lacking... no happy hour food items and the drink discounts are so so. I tend to be more of an 'atmosphere' girl so despite the disappointing happy hour I will go back to Rula for its environment ... especially over Robby Fox's and other lacking Mill Ave bars.
