While I was somewhat sad to see the Cedar Lee Pub go (I'll miss their awesome pretzels, but that's about it), I was mostly just disappointed that the restaurant was vacant. When I saw that Rudy's Pub was relocating to Lee Rd, I was definitely looking forward to trying it out. I finally had the chance at the end of January, when I met up with a friend for dinner and drinks there.
I ordered the fish fry. It was DELICIOUS. The fish was crispy and fresh. The fries were average. The portion was perfect, I thought; 3-4 pieces of fish and a good amount of fries. I can't remember what my friend ordered. There may have been tequila involved. Speaking of the tequila, owner Amanda is a HEAVY pour when it comes to shots, which can be both a good and bad thing! My friend's boyfriend and mine joined us later in the evening, around 9 pm and wings were ordered. I didn't eat any, my friend and her boyfriend said they were good.
Service was a little slow when we got there around 6:00 pm, but I think only the owner was waiting tables and working the bar. As the night went on, more servers arrived. Our server was hilarious and attentive.
I thought the atmosphere was great. I liked that they kept the PUB sign on the front of the building and they did an excellent job refinishing all the woodwork/tables. This white girl even got out and danced the Wobble (not well). The bar was packed when we left and I didn't think it was too annoyingly loud, even with the DJ playing music. I'd definitely go back. I'd like to try more items on their menu for sure!
