text: A friend and I recently ended up here before going to the Katy Perry concert at Mandalay Bay We had initially planned on dinner at Burger Bar but that was a bust when we found out there was a one hour wait and tummys were a rumblingnnEnter Rued Rue I was not sure what to expectbut to be honest at the time I did not care as I was starving Because there was also a wait at the pub we ended up sitting at the bar Go figurennOh my was I pleasantly surprised I had the Irish Potato Cakes ok I am an appetizer kind of gal and they were soooooooo good I love potatoes hence my obsession with french fries and the cakes were soft but not mushy and had just the right amount of saltiness with the balsamic glaze I also had the chips and malt vinegar mayo yeah ok there was a bit of potato overload The mayo was delicious A nice contrast with the chips and change of pace from ketchup I was so stuffed I decided not to have an entreennThe drinks department also did not disappoint My friend had some beers and I had a couple of Dark and Stormys which I am not used to seeing on menus that often The drinks were good not too strong Best of all our bartenderserver was Irish and fun to chat with nnI agree that the pub is noisy but in a good way This is not somewhere you would go to catch up with a long lost friend it is somewhere you would go to have fun with a smaller group of fun people nnBut the best part was that as a local I got to sign up for a Green Card The Green Card equates to a discount off fooddrinks for locals Yay for discounts and yay for locals
