Friends got mimosas and immediately said they were nasty. Zero bubbly. So we asked to see the bottle. Its was apparently the cheapest screw top stuff they could find. Hardly carbonated. Must've been open for a while. They gave us the bottle and then charged over 30 dollars for it. It was labeled as korbel on the receipt.. when asked about it they simply said. "Oh thats fine" never going back
A friend and I decided to hit up Where's Rufus last night after enjoying a nice meal at Cheddar's. He now lives in Mississippi, and we both wanted him to have fun on his last night in Tyler before heading back. We walk in, and after getting carded, head to the bar. I told the short male bartender my drink of choice, and he blew me off, catering to the other patrons that walked up after we did. Someone mentioned that his name is Greg, & his attitude and customer service is way below standard. After receiving my Bud Light in a bottle, I gave him a $5, and received just $.75 in change. I explained that I gave him $5 and he said very rudely, "It's $4.25". Really?! He also failed to mention that Coors were just $2 per bottle. I could've gotten 2 beers for that price with change coming back. Where's Rufus had a slight unpleasant smell, and the bathrooms were horrid. It was large pools of liquid on the floor from 2 of the 3 stalls. The last stall was out of order, and the paper towel dispenser was broken. After listening to the dj's personal music blasting from his computer, I decided to request a popular song that would get the bored crowd on it's feet. They told me "we don't take requests." However, one of three dj's announced that they received a slow jam request in which he played. I know one of the dj's from another location and I asked him to play the song, in which he didn't. Through out the night, all they mostly played was 98% techno, with a little bit of Hip Hop/R&B. To my understanding, you need to accommodate everyone's music tastes, and not just play what you as a dj want to hear. Or just play what your friend(s) want to hear. While boring the rest of the crowd to tears. I'm known for dancing and I didn't so much as move a toe. My friend and I left Where's Rufus very disappointed. We were looking for a fun night on his last night in town. If I had known this was going to be such a disappointment, we would've just ended it at Cheddar's. Seeming as though the night life in Tyler for the younger crowd (28-30) is pretty much dead. Will we be going back? Hell no.
After waiting for 30 minutes on my first drink I go back to my pool table and start playing. Ive taken maybe 4 sips out of the drink and it comes up missing. I wait another 30 minutes after my pool game and get another one and boom that one comes up missing immediately after only 1 sip then I see the waitress about to throw it away! I stopped her and explained my beer is cold and full please stop. Guess what she did it a 3rd time after that. I waited for over an hour just to have my beer thrown away by staff. I guess to increse sales or something. Good small bar but they need all new staff asap. From top to bottom.
Its a nice bar, good drinks but as soon as you walk in you can tell the regulars run this bar. You have to become a regular inorder to enjoy yourself at this bar. Bought 2 drinks and headed for the exit lol.
Love it on tuesday nite. And love it even more since dj brain is there now!
