It was a cold January night when a friend and I from Liverpool UK , tired of the plastic bars and plastic people in the times Square area, stumbled upon Rudy's. As soon as we walked thru the door we could tell it was different. People were dancing in the back and the juke box was playing one great tune after another. Your first impression may be to run away, but dont ! Stick around and find friendly people,cheap beer and a good time. Great staff and full of real characters. Go for it!

On entering Rudy's in the daytime you have to adjust yourself to the lack of lighting. the alcoved seats are more sticky tape than leather..and the black on the floor is probably the gunge of a thousand spilled drinks. BUT what a friendly, wonderful eclectic mix of people. I felt so at home there i returned every night of my stay. Beer is cheap.....Steve one of the bar men...is a darling. Staff are hardworking and friendly....Love IT

Heart and Soul in Hell's Kitchen

Rudy's has both heart and soul. The great traditional atmosphere brings you back to the time when bars were important parts of a neighborhood. Terrific staff (especially Bill and Yolanda), great drink prices, and the free hot dogs make this spot a must. The new juke box is great (crank up the Sinatra), and the friendly, eclectic clientele is a real treat. There's also a cool "back-yard" if you want to smoke. If I didn't live in Tennessee now, I'd be there every day. Rudy's is always a highlight of my many return trips to NYC! The Professor says sign up for this class!

You can come here on your own and still have a great time meeting random people and having random conversations. All the while drinking beer at low prices. Yes, pitchers too. Be patient and relax when waiting to order at the bar, beer will come! Much easier on the lungs since the smoking ban, still sometimes it's no bed of roses, but that's not why you're there right? Outdoor area for those who want to see the walls, star, and tree and maybe smoke. Cozy half-circle booth seats (if you can get them) for you and your friends. Mixture of of mostly locals with the occasional lucky tourist. Earlier in the evening it'll include younger groups who tend to stick together, later on you get locals (and ex-locals making the trip) coming in for a taste of Rudy's. Easy to find - look for the big pink pig. Leave any attitudes at the door, you won't be needing them here! Maybe that's what the pig is for.
