“ A great old neighborhood bar, with super friendly service, good prices on drinks, and a limited but very good selection of food. I had their Super, which is a cheese dog wrapped in crispy bacon... incredible! Older crowd during the earlier hours, and ESU crowd later. With a visit. ”
“ First time visiting in well over 20 years, and it looks and feels exactly the same, which added to the outstanding experience. The bartender, Duke, was a great guy and always had a cold beer ready. I highly recommend Rudy's! ”
“ I love a good classic bar. This place seems to have a lot of pride too. The bar tenders were spot on and super friendly. Cheap beer, food smelled great. Seems like a simple, but tasty menu. Will be stopping in again. ”
“ It's the epitome of a well-run, very clean corner bar out of central casting. That's a good thing. ”
“ Best bar in all of Pennsylvania! The bartenders are awesome, the Cajun chicken cheesesteak is out of this world, the beer and draft selection is awesome! ”
“ I go here about once a week with friends. The bartenders are great! The beer isn't too expensive, but they have few options on tap. Plenty of good cheap food to buy. The bar is clean. Lot's of good things to say about this place. Sometimes there's live music (even until 12:30am when the bar is packed). I recommend checking it out. ”
“ From the minute we walked in we felt like we belonged here. The other patrons and staff were so nice. We had an honest solid hot dog, a burger, and a liverwurst sandwich of all things! Our meal and two beers were 20. What a deal. The locals were very inclusive and welcomed us. It's a neighborhood bar for crying out loud so don't expect like fancy atmosphere. Cash only but they have an ATM ”
“ Same place it's been for like 50 years. Either full of older folks during the day or ESU students at night. Basically the Cheers of the Burg. ”
