Editorial Review for Rula Bula – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Designed and built in Ireland, this bar was shipped to Tempe and reassembled. Crying in your beer is always an option here, but don't be fooled by the sign claiming that they only serve Guinness--there's a wide selection of import beers and ales. The crowd is mixed, but it skews toward the quarter-life-ers after 10pm. There's a variety of pub favorites, from oysters Rockefeller to Wendy Paine O' Brien's spicy lemon shrimp and Irish bread pudding.

The bar is great however the bartenders are awful. They insult customers and they over charge. I stood waiting to get my change and the guy said oh you want your change? Yeah, it was $6.00 if you were not such a chode I would give you a big tip.

So if you’re looking for something fun to do on a workday, don’t go to Rula Bula. The wait staff gave us a hard time (eyes rolling) when we wanted a table, when we sat at the bar, when we got a table, when we wanted food, and when we wanted to play the trivia game. We were over charged for a miss order (they must have been to busy rolling their eyes) and for ice cream that came with our dessert (one scoop for $1.25 and it wasn’t all that good). The wait staff then stood over us while we checked our bill, which also had items that we had not ordered. The manager also gave us an attitude, implying somehow that it was our fault for the bad service. I love Irish pubs, but I would not recommend Rula Bula to anyone, it was more trouble than its worth.
