It was the sort of place where you could tell the regulars by the way they knew how to step around the holes in the floorboards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-64035665408360328792021-06-06T13:59:37.531-05:002021-06-06T13:59:37.531-05:00Rudy's is one of my favorite NYC bars.

I haven't been to the City in over a year, but when I go, those two are among the first places I hit.Brian (AKA The Dean)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15072638994343667673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-81183635329864207822021-06-06T11:53:21.678-05:002021-06-06T11:53:21.678-05:00The Bucket may be gone, but our love of dive bars ...The Bucket may be gone, but our love of dive bars continues unchecked. Every time I'm in New York, I try to get to Rudy's on 9th Avenue. A pint of the house draft and a shot of Bushmills can be had for $6 ($5 if you're willing to go with Seagram's 7 instead), and if you know to ask, they'll give you a free hot dog!<br /><br />Great stuff, Chuck...thanks!Sam Komlenicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-80210858100952060972021-06-05T10:25:54.590-05:002021-06-05T10:25:54.590-05:00Chuck thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I frequented the bucket through the 80’s and the Royal Blast back then was a shot of OOPS - Old Oscar Pepper - which may have been pre-prohibition as several bottles were, along with a mug of Bass ale - all for $5. Joe and Fena were dear people, and I stayed in touch after he retired to Arizona. Nothing can replace those memories- the gift is in the retelling. Thank you.
