It's good when you need what they have.\nI have to agree that it has certainly lost a little of something in the past few years, but Rula Bula still seems to make decent fish & chips, shepherd's pie and boxty (their self-proclaimed specialty).\nIt's on Mill, so if you're there during the weekend afternoons, expect kids. Lots and lots of kids. I like kids. I teach kids. I don't want to see kids when I go to a pub or bar. I especially don't want to see kids when I'm in Tempe sitting on the patio enjoying a smoke and a beer. But hey, it's Tempe. It's Mill on a Saturday afternoon, what the heck should I be expecting, right?\nPretty much the only reason I care to come here anymore is the food (or because my mom still loves it and wants to meet up for lunch). It could use a \"new coat of paint,\" so to speak, though. And by that I mean they should try to rough up their image a little, lower their prices and stock more (better) beers."^^ . "1"^^ . .
