Great value happy hour ! Some of the best food and drink deals in Palo Alto. Tues - Fri, 4pm - 7pm, Mon & Sat all day

John Speck

The Patio has the best service and staff of any bar in Palo Alto or Mountain View . They are always friendly even when very busy. For large parties, they are happy to reserve tables for you... Just ask

Michelle Bossie

The burgers are outstanding! We come here because we love the bartenders but the menu has really made some improvements. ..good stuff! #welovethisbar

Maximum Burger

Place had mixed reviews, but honestly I liked the spacious , casual-but-formal vibe, high energy trivia night and decent food. Although, obviously terrible prices here and in this area generally

Annalynn

Chicken tenders were good, but the bartender didn't know how to pour a Guinness or make a good old fashioned

David Holtz

The eponymous patio out back is a nice hangout spot .

Ann Marie Alanes

Tip is for dance club hours. Top 40s music is fun. Hella crowded sausage fest full of grabby rude boys who don't ask nicely but ego trip if you wanna feel like you still "got it".

Joseph Kristoffer

Love the outdoor area in back as a venue, but goddamn the service is slooow. Zero rhyme or reason to when a server finally gets to helping you.

Turns into a club at night...karaoke night on Tuesdays and Wednesday's!

Brittany Giudici

Sliders come with too much aioli but are otherwise great. Fresh bread as well .

The patio... food and drink are standard, but the outdoor seating is king.

Chicken tacos and fried chicken tenders paired well with the fat tire .

Conrad White

Get a pitcher of Guinness

Clarice DeOH

Great for happy hours

Danielle F

DJs here are PAINFULLY boring. Their laptop has a set, and that's what will play. Don't bothering requesting anything, just go down the street.

Daniel Rozeboom

Patio at Rudy's is commonly known as "Prudy's": for those who are too prude to go to Rudy's.

Constance Nicole

Trivia on Wed nights is the most unorganized and inefficient ever.

Peter Salkowski

Great staff ....sound up for big games. Tons of TV 's....

Better than Rudy's, but that's not saying much at all.

Carl McCallum

Sweat potato fries awesome.

Jose Antonio Tena Sendra

They close too early, music ok. Not great. But basically the only place in Palo Alto.

Seth Norman

Go somewhere with more flat screens on the wall
