Absolutely amazing local neighborhood style pub! Easy parking next door which is convenient and safe. The lady made great cocktails. The food is traditional with many twists. Customer service appeared to be a priority. If you’re looking for a place to have a few drinks and be peaceful this is it!

I ordered the fish and chips delivered, especially because I love cod fish, but they over fried the batter and its just not appealing.I really wont be able to finish it. Also, the fries are curly fries not true fish and chips

Bar food and service here is very good. Entered near ten, it was not crowded. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. Kinda of like a restaurant in Los Angeles I liked to visit.

Fantastic atmosphere, food, and staff! it’s not too loud or dark, like some other places are. the staff seem to love their job and are friendly. for food, I got the fish and chips and it came out hot and fresh. the tempura batter was amazing!

Great local pub for food, drinks, occassional music, regular characters, deep cuts playlist. Indoor and outdoor space, even a fireplace indoor AND outdoor. Great as a regular haunt.

If you live in the Montrose area and you like eating good, drinking well, and listening to a stellar music selection then I highly recommend this establishment. Its a clean environment. The staff is professional and kind. I highly recommend trying the garlic knots. Parking is fantastic just make sure dont leave absolutely nothing invisible view. This place reminds me of that movie High Fidelity. Im just an old cat that enjoys good Tunes, excellent beer and liquor elixirs.

Pretty cool little spot. Was not a fan of the venmo only option to purchase tickets to the comedy show but otherwise was good. Chill vibes, good music and drinks.

Fine place for tasty Bar food. Arrived at seven, it wasnt crowded. I will be back with my friends. Bring your hunger - portions are filling. Similar to a cafe in Las Vegas I liked.

Not the same old school Rudz but looks great. The beer and spirits selection has improved and the extension (old next door bar) looks like its going to be great.

Ordered a to-go order of Fish and chips. Expected the usual Fish and chips (aka French fries) like every other place that serves Fish and Chips. Came home to find Fish and thin salty CURLY fries - the ones you get from the frozen section at HEB! Fish was not crispy. It was a thick layer of soft batter. These guys do NOT know the meaning of Fish and Chips. Customer service, do not get me started....

Nice site for tasty Bar food. Arrived at six, it was not packed. The service was very helpful and observant. Prices are decent for the quality. They have a lot of positive reviews for a reason.

You can eat real food here. Food is great. Shows upstairs the windy wooden staircase with the steel Texas sized barbed wire handrail - real atmosphere. Quality old school European Pub experience.

Not impressed at all, especially they over-charged without telling us the hidden fees. We ordered two orders of Fish & Chips for pick up.Food: Id give it 3.5 out of 5Service & Honesty: 1.5 out of 5 ( watch out for their hidden To-Go fee and they dont tell you)Their online menu says $14 for fish & chips. So we ordered two and nothing else. When we showed up to pay, bill came out $37.88. How is that possible? The man at the bar, who took our payment, said its $16 not $14 per order. I said ok and even gave tips.While driving away, i was thinking even at $16x2 plus tax, that wouldnt be $37.88. So we called the restaurant. Guess what they told us?The restaurant said theres a $0.75 To-Go fee for pick up order. They charged us $1.50 To-Go fee for two orders of fish & chips. In addition, they charged extra $1.50 for tots if you wanted tots instead if fries. They charged us all these without telling us any of these hidden fees.....no itemization on the reciept.If you are willing to pay more than whats shown on the menu( cheating), then ok.

The best Caesar salad dressing EVER. The taste is really amazing. I eat Caeser salads often and the dressing makes or breaks it. Top notch work, Rudyards.

Review №25

The bar area is very small compared to the size of the place so service can be quite slow. That being said, the staff was all very friendly and personable. This is more of a dive bar so if youre into fancy and trendy places you will not like it here. One perk to this place is the ample parking lots.

Place is really cool, good atmosphere and friendly staff. No BS tough guy type crowd, everyone vibes really well. The art on the wall is excellent, the bathrooms are clean yet reminiscent of a pink rock bar. The music is good and the drinks are well done and priced right. Cute girls everywhere also, big plus.

I just love the diversity of people in this place. They always have a dope underground local band playing and if they dont have music events they have open mic comedy nights where everybody can participate. The drinks are all right, the price is all right, but the vibe of this place is great. I must visit if youre from Houston.

Their quality of food has gone down. The vibe with new staff isnt like it was before. Not the Montrose customer service we all are used to having all these years. Ordered some burgers in which usually could eat the burger without any sides and it was it would be delicious but I received my burgers raw inside. I called manager he said he would gladly give me new burgers when I come back the next time. So I come back I talked with the bartender they order me another 2 burgers I take them home and guess what? Now they are burnt. I called and asked what did they tell the chef about my food and the manager said I told him that they were undercooked last time you ordered them. Apparently the chef or the cook took offense to it or personal and burned the meat on the burgers. Needless to say both times I took the burgers home for myself realist to say both times I took the burgers home for myself and my loved ones we had to throw them away and go to order add another restaurant for dinner each night. Major inconvenience. So thats my two cents or my to Burnt burgers experience. That wouldnt have happened with the old staff.

A pub and gastro pub in one. It’s the 40th anniversary.this year. Rudyard’s hosts bands special event. The service is prompt and friendly. The crowd diverse and welcoming. It is a community. Wide selection of beers you will not available anywhere elsewhere. Craft cocktailsRudz is also a Gastropub with great food . Always great vegan options.an eclectic menu that changes monthly. If youre not a drinker the food is worth the trip .

Good food and great atmosphere. Service was pretty good for a laid back sunday. Looking forward to checking this place out again for the music and everything else they have to offer. Had a The burger which was good and the nachos. If the nachos had some smoked pulled pork and maybe some jalapenos it would have been perfect but the chips are delicious

The bar just looks f-ing awesome. Let’s start with that. I’ve been coming in on Saturdays to hang out with friends. Sitting at the bar for once. This Bartender is so funny. She’s golden. The food always looks amazing. I can’t wait to try the fish and chips. I’d suggest this place to anyone.

Rudyard just celebrated its 41st, and is still a great venue. The staff is super friendly, and they often have great acts. They also go out of their way to book local acts. Process arent bad either, last time I went one special was Mystery Beer, where they randomly pulled from a stack. They werent all great but it was fun anyways.

Wanted to give Rudz 4.5, but didnt want to punish them for Googles limitations. Beer selection is growing nicely with friendly, polite, and knowledgeable bar staff. Upstairs venue works well but could use less tables.

Very rude, I sat at the bar just to be ignored by the bartender. I was never acknowledged by the bar tender although he saw me looking through the beer menu after 10 minutes I couldnt take it I just got up and left no need to stay in a place where the staff does not care to help you

I love this place. Food is consistently phenomenal. Beer choices through the roof. Lot of things to do pool darts game board night. They have a karoke night. Live local and traveling bands, I think thats great. If you want to support live local music this is the place to do it.

Very unwelcoming staff. Bartender was very unfriendly so I tried to be nice and make small talk thinking maybe she feels bad bc shes super pregnant, but still she was was very unfriendly. Im sorry. Its part of your job to be nice, but to be rude to a customer whos trying to be kind is a big service industry no no. Wont be back

I come here to attend the drink and draw upstairs. Its great how they support local artists. Drinks are reasonably priced. Youll find a good sized parking lot across the street which is a plus. If youre looking to have a drink with your friends in a relaxed atmosphere, check this place out.

Great venue for live famous punk rock bands! I just cant get there. I have a 10:00 PM curfew. I no longer go to bars. I am in 2 12 step meeting fellowships. I am clean and sober. I would like to go there with someone who is sober sometime when I get my own apartment.

Review №78

A Montrose institution. Coolest vibe ever. If you are trying to kick back and enjoy a nice adult beverage with some friends - or even alone - come here. Interesting mix of people. Interesting playlist. Great beer selection. Food is even better now that theyve picked up Anthony Calleo (former pi pizza chef). If you want to play darts, hang by the fire pit outside, have your fantasy football draft party, see some stand up comedy (Dave Chapelle stopped by here when he was in town a couple months ago), or do some story time for adults, its all possible here. Highly recommend this watering hole.

Review №79

A place to get drinks! I dont recommend getting food. The waiter was very slow and the cooks didnt know how to read instructions. They are bad at timing food. In our group we ordered two burgers and a pizza. The pizza didnt come out until 10 min after the burgers. So, one person had to watch the rest of us eat. On my burger I asked sub onions for jalepenos. The other burger that was ordered got sub onions for jalepenos. And they cook their onions in with the cheese so it was a little difficult to pick out.The waiter brought us only 2 menus when there was three of us and only two waters. Took him a while to figure out we needed another drink. You dont get refills either.A little irritated when a small family came in and got the royal treatment from the general manager. They didnt look special to me. Here we were sitting with empty drinks and finished with our burgers waiting on a pizza... Again, this is a place to get drinks. Typical bar food.

A decent bar if you are not looking for the big crowds and bright lights. People are very friendly and there is a nice assortment of beers. A couple of nice outdoor fire pits make this s cozy place for a peaceful night out. They also have some pretty good food you should try.

Really great food at not terrible prices but the drinks are definitely overpriced which is strange. A 12 oz domestic beer can for five bucks? A Lonestar 16 oz for 4.25? Really? A beer and shot special for $8?

Good pub food/drink, friendly staff, conversation, darts downstairs. great spot for a casual brunch, a late nightcap, happy hour, a night out with friends, or hiding from a rainy day. good for small groups, couples, solo adventurers. large groups can drop in or reserve space for parties. Houston institution for live music upstairs; check their website for shows.

One of my favorite pubs in midtown Houston area. Lots of games including steel tip darts, pool, and shuffleboard. Also a great place for live music, adult storytime, game night plus more. Has an upstairs for the live music, a backroom with more dart boards and a front outdoor patio. Great pub food and a large selection of craft beer, imports both on tap and bottle. Full bar for cocktails too. Order at the bar.
