    Located in Alexandria, VA near Kingstowne, Rudy's is your place to go for all your golfing needs! Rudy's has a driving range for those who want to bring their own personal clubs to practice! They have their own bar and your traditional bar food (chips and dip, wings, quesadillas, etc). They also have 2 miniature golf courses with 18 holes. The service here was pretty good (obtaining items for miniature golf and for bar service).

    Rudy's Golf is a nice venue to hang out w friends, alone, or small group. As I understand it, it's a former Top Golf location that is not rebranded and owned and operated under new management. While it looks like an early version of Top Golf what I enjoyed was the service for the event I was attending was A+, the drinks were good, and the food, ok. Tbf it was chicken fingers and sliders. I was told by several people that the sliders were dry but I can say the chicken fingers were like normal average chicken fingers. Rudy's also has a putt-putt course that looks cool and they have other events that look interesting like Bachata lessons. I plan to come back again after work sometime.

    We came here the first day of my daughter's spring break. We wanted a place to have a good time and get a bite to eat as well. Ambiance - We got here around 12:30 so there wasn't a lot of people there when we arrived. It definitely had a golf/sports bar vibe as soon as you walk in. Food/Drinks - The food was ok. Nothing impressive, but if eating is not the main reason you're there, you'll be fine. I think the food was better when it was Too Golf. Service - The attendants were great. We got our food timely and our drinks were refilled before we could even ask. One guy even helped me with my swing. Overall, I would definitely go back. The family had a really good time.

    Was super impressed with this place. Didn't have super high expectations for a "knock off" Topgolf, but it was the same experience for way cheaper. The staff was friendly and the food was good, especially great for the cost.

    We came here on a Saturday night around 8pm as a group of five. I expected it to be crowded, but we were able to get a bag right away. We paid for 2 hours and then you had to pay an extra $10 to rent clubs. Then you have to carry those clubs to your assigned bay. For those who may not know, this was the first Top Golf in the country back in 2005 and then were eventually sold and bought to become Rudy's golf. You can very much tell how dated the entire place is and how there had not been good up keep overall. They have a large bin of golf balls just at your bay versus at Top Golf where you have a sensor that releases the balls. We never ran out of balls so that was a plus. We ended up mainly playing the distance game and had tried one of the golf course games, but it made no sense on where to hit so we had a lot of frustrations with that game. Our waiter came and checked on us pretty regularly, but we did only order a pitcher of beer and water. One thing I did notice about the place was that there were a ton of spider webs near the ceilings which I wish someone would have tried to clear out. I would say my conclusion is that this place was local to where we were staying and we were able to have to fun, but don't expect anything fancy. It could use some love and attention to bring it back to its glory. The prices were fairly reasonable. It does not seem like a place that gets very crowded as normally a Saturday night it should have been packed.

    We've been to Rudy's a few times now. The service is always great. The food menu is limited (especially the dessert menu) but what they do have is pretty good. The staff is nice and they handle your needs and get your food and drinks out quickly. I heard that they're not staying open much longer though. Pretty sad if that's true cause it's been great having golf there again.

    Rudy's is in the old Top Golf off Van Dorm. They did a little remodeling of the space. Expanded the dining area off the bar. They upgraded the hitting bays and added different game options or just a practice option. The bays have servers and the menu is a QR code. Full bar. They bays are by the hour instead of per game and have unlimited golf balls. Bay rates depend on the time of day and weekdays vs weekends. 6 people per bay. They have reopened the 2 mini golf courses too. It's nice to a place to hit balls rain or shine while having a nice snack and a full bar.

    Affordable place if you want to play golf, grab a drink, and or a bite to eat. Mini golf course course was pretty basic but can't complain for $12. Draft beer selection was good. Food was pretty average, decent flavor with decent portions. Severs seemed much more focused on the golfers in the bays instead of the people in the restaurant / bar area.

Thankfully, we stumbled upon Joe Theismann's Restaurant because there was a heat wave, and we didn't want to spend any more time outside than necessary. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted, seated right away, and given menus. Our waitress introduced herself, offered recommendations for appetizers and entrées, and even convinced us to try one of their signature drinks. We started with the Broiled Chesapeake Crab Dip, and it was really tasty. It was rich and cheesy, with generous chunks of crab throughout. It was so good that we easily could have ordered another bowl! For our entrée, we shared the Chicken Louisiana. It had chicken, sausage, and shrimp with peppers and onions in a Cajun sauce served over rice. Now this dish was really delicious. It arrived hot and tasted freshly made to order. We even noticed the table next to us ordered the same thing. I can't remember the exact name of the martini I ordered, but it was very light and refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. The restaurant itself is spacious, with a large bar, plenty of seating, and TVs throughout. Overall, we had a good dining experience. Whenever we're back in the D.C. area, we'll definitely make a point to stop by again.

The layout kinda reminds me of Toki Underground on H St. The ambiance was that of a regular bar, but with Chicago sports teams all over the ceiling & walls. I must say the sandwich was meh mainly due to the giardiniera not being spicy nor oily (it was vinegary but not truly pickled then sat in oil at the minimum for the classic Chicago styled giardiniera), and the au ju/ seasoned beef gravy tasted like regular cheap beef broth, not the unique flavor it's most notably known for. The bread was not the correct French roll typically used for the sandwich to soak up the juices. I noticed that there was no option to make it an "Italian beef combination sandwich" to add an Italian sausage link. It also was not double dipped in the au ju/ seasoned beef gravy. The sandwich tasted nothing like the original Chicago Italian beef sandwich. It was a bit of a let down because I had high hopes, but I also understand that sometimes, things will not taste the same outside of the place/ region it originated at. The only things I did like was how toasty/ fresh the roll was despite it not being the classic French roll. While I think the place is pretty okay, I do hope they can attempt to perfect the sandwich or at least come much closer to having it being truly Chicago styled. As someone with deep Chicago roots, I was disappointed and it felt like low-effort with failure to tap into potential they know is there.

Food is OK quality and prices are reasonable if not inexpensive on their specials, like the steak and ribs for only $25. Good flavor and cooked ok but a nice combo for the price. Service is OK with some wait staff being more efficient than others. There were some who knew their customers by name and took time out to talk with them but that slowed down service a little for the rest of us. Nothing too bad but you might wait a bit for refills or something you need after your food or drinks arrive. We had cool fries and it took a bit for the staff to come back to our table to check in the dining room. Similar response time for wait staff outside when we needed condiments that were ordered but didn't come out with our entrees. Cigar menu is an ok selection where there is something for everyone; however, our experience was the place ran out of the first four cigars we selected and each time the wait staff had to come back to our table to tell us they were out of that cigar. Wait staff didn't know what cigars were in stock and which they were out of. Overall, very good experience for both inside the dining area and outside where you can smoke. Recommend The Bungalow Lakehouse as it is a good experience and has a variety of experience options.

The choices were: outside, the sports bar, or the dining room. We chose the dining room. A large group of people was sitting at a table. We were given a booth by the window and right by the server's station. Looking over the menu at home, we both decided that we would get a bacon cheeseburger. The entrees seemed, to us, to be too filling. The bacon cheeseburger consists of: "100% angus burger, apple-wood smoked bacon, vermont white cheddar, canadian cheddar, sliced tomato, and crispy leaf lettuce". We both ordered it cooked medium. The dish comes with fries. To drink, I had ginger ale while my husband had a Heineken 00. Our server was friendly and efficient. He made a mistake, bringing my husband a Coke instead of the beer. My husband corrected him. He apologized and retrieved the correct drink. The burger was dry and overcooked. It was more on the medium well side. In one way, I didn't mind that as I didn't end up with greasy hands or a burger that falls apart. The bacon and the cheese provided some relief from the dryness. The fries came out hot, which we appreciated. All in all, it was an OK experience; we would consider going again sometime.

As we made our way in this space, there was a large dance floor with bar table and chairs around the perimeter and a bar at the front.
