Was there recently with some friends. The staff and patrons were all super friendly. Especially we were the only Asians in the bar. The drinks were great, definitely wasn't water down, and not over priced. The cover band was fantastic, they played to the crowd and everyone enjoyed them. We got there around 9 pm, which wasn't super crowed, but come 10 pm the place was getting packed. They had darts and pinball machines in the back.
Having visited the area here for multiple weeks, Rush Bar and Grill became a home away from home for me. The people who visit are welcoming and friendly, the bartenders are all great, and the food is exceptional for what may be considered traditional bar food. Gigantic shout-out to Tammy, Alyssa, Syanne, Shane, Frankie and Danielle in no particular order. They're all fantastic. Thank you for the great time and the memories! I hope to see you again in the future!
Been a patron and my friend has been singing here for yours. On feb 4 the white bouncer screamed at my friend for not buying a drink being unprofessional he was a white bouncer with brown beard and a hat. He targeted my friend who was black and they assualted her verbally do not come here unless your okay with an establishment that employs bouncers that are racist and abusive. It was really scary and traumatic just because she didn't buy a drink doesn't mean they have the right to verbally abuse someone who has spent money here many times. They use you for money and if you don't drink expect to be verbally assaulted.
Management, For the bartender trying her best to be Arial. At roughly 25% capacity, there's no reason after 20 mins I'd have to walk out due to not being served. I understand she was with her regulars or friends. However it was a bit ridiculous.
