What People Are Saying About Rudy's Bar & Grill
The Owner
Rudy's Bar & Grill
Owner
Rudy's bar opened in 1933 by the Rudy family. It was one of the first liquor licenses issued in New York City after prohibition ended. The present owner, Jack, started drinking in Rudy's in 1943 when he was 16; back when Hell's Kitchen was really Hell's Kitchen! Rudy's may be the most well known bar in N.Y.C., with a long and colorful history. The stories Jack can tell. Rudy's still has the original wood door from the day it opened. When you walk through it the feel of the old neighborhood saloon is still there with cheap beer, free hot dogs, and great people!

The Scene – Rudy's is one of the last bars in Manhattan where suits, slackers and lifetime ne'er-do-wells commingle in a laid-back, beer-laden haze. It's always loud and crowded, even when the backyard "garden" is open. And when you're ready to date out of your comfy little social circle, slap on your sluttiest lipstick or your spiffiest blue jeans and head here. Chances are you'll cozy up in one of Rudy's little red banquettes with someone new before long. – – The Draw – Heated on one of those fast-food rotisseries and served with a plain white bun and a little…

Pure gold

Where to begin... This place is a true dive bar in every sense of the word, and is completely awesome. They have a nice beer selection at great prices (Rudy's Blonde, not only cheap, but good - it's what I always get). The jukebox has a great selection, and the cross-section of people there is incredible - as diverse as the city itself.
But what's most important is the respect that the bartenders (who've been there forever) quietly command - they're good, fast, and don't give an attitude, yet everyone who walks in knows not to mess with them.
Oh, and free hot dogs. I mean, free hot dogs with beer. Does it get any better?
- Pros: Prices, people, jukebox, bartenders, EVERYTHING
- Cons: Nothing

Great Neighborhood Bar...Incredible Prices
by ttu2479 at Citysearch
We visited Rudy's Thanksgiving 2008 on the advice of a friend who has a business on 46th. It was awesome. The bartender greeted us immediately. The beer prices are incredible, and keep in mind you are only blocks from Times Square. It is an easy and safe walk, especially if you walk down 46th (Restaurant Row). The atmosphere is dive bar, which we loved. Everyone was friendly and having a great time. We are middle aged and some places are so young that we feel a little out of place. I can't imagine anyone ever feeling out of place in Rudy's. We will be back in July. Save a red booth for us!! Texas loves you!!
- Pros: Great prices, great location, great sevice
- Cons: Crowded and small....get to know you neighbor!
