Rush Inn

Our go to bar for a bite and a drink (or 2) before or after a performance at Beck Center across the street. And many times we have seen the cast stop after the show. We dined on Jumbo Wings (on wing night) and Teriyaki Chicken Appetizer. Excellent. Eric, the barkeep, is always eager to keep you and your glass full.

Another one of my go-​to spots in Lakewood. The servers are friendly, and make it a point to get to know their regulars. The food is ALWAYS delicious, and they are always updating their specials and seasonal menus.
Another great thing about this place is the crowd… Young and old, everybody is super chill. I’ve never witnessed or heard of any fights or rowdiness.
The only downside about The Rush Inn is the prices… they can run very high, especially if you’re a craft beer drinker ($ 8+ for a tall Dortmunder). Fortunately for Lakewood folk, there are often coupons in the local circular, and they have great food specials (wing nights, burger nights, etc).

My manfriend and I came here every Friday this past Lent for their fish fry. Their LAKE perch is so good, it literally falls apart as soon as your fork touches it. We sat in the same general area each time we came, and after just a couple weeks, the bartender remembered us and make us feel like real regulars. That was pretty nice.
I have never had anything other than the perch here, but their menu looks awesome and I am determine to. It does get pretty crowed by 6:30, so we would always make sure to go right after work. Love it here.

Thursday night, needed a hearty meal for a man my size .
Chorizo dip was amazing!
Wings were amazing!
Burgers were amazing!
And … They have PBR on draft! AWESOME PLACE!

The food here is very good, im surprised. Cuz I’ve been here a couple of times in the past and i wasn’t impressed. We order a couple of burgers and some wings, very good. The bad thing was that the service and the drinks sucked big time. The lady with the curly hair was very rude with us when we complained that the beers were warmed. She totally gave me an attitude. Otherwise i would give em 4 or even 5 stars. I probably be back another time when she is not working!!!

Definitely my favorite bar in Lakewood. The staff here is second to none, always attentive and very friendly. They also have awesome food and a solid beer selection! To last 35 years in Lakewood they are obviously doing something right!

This is one of my favorite local bars of Lakewood, they have nightly specials I encourage you to take part in! Went last week for wing night had amazing service even though the bar was packed and only two bartenders. Plenty of sauce options and I believe only $.55 cent wings.

The Rush Inn is easily my top go to in Lakewood.
From the outstanding food, in a great menu selection I might add… anything you pick is a good choice. To the atmosphere, to the attentive and friendly service. We all like Brandon, he’s very knowledgeable and will ansewer any questions you have with a smile, he is also willing to chit chat if you’re down with that. To expand, I have never seen an unhappy face in the place. We all know you can throw a rock in Lakewood and hit a place to eat… but this place is by far the best!

My husband and I love this place! The bartenders are awesome and we will continue to keep going here! The food is great, love the daily specials like wing night and their tacos are great! Keep up the good work!

I used to love the Rush inn. was our go to place; went to last night — seated awkwardly in the back under bright light. Served sub par food my friend got his wings when I was done eating! 9 50 a beer $ 8 for a small platter of frozen style french fries $ 11 for a flave less chicken gyro. SO disappointing Rush!!!

I ordered food from here recently and it was really good. But then i noticed a 50 cent surcharge fee on my reciept for carry out orders. Ive encountered some absurd practices in my life but this was beyond ridiculous. I wont be back

my go to spot to have a beer. staff is awesome here, always up for a great convo if their not busy. $ 2.50 pints $ 1.50 during games. you can’t really beat that! always the food here is truly very good. I do actually crave it sometimes. The prices are little high but the quality will not let you down.
call an old friend and head down to rush to catch up.

Best wings ever. And we’re serious about wings. Gone are the days of dime wings. And for the most part, it’s also difficult to even find good wings anywhere. At Rush they have wings like I remember from back in the day. Their big and cooked well, ask for extra crispy, the best! My fav is medium buffalo flavor. Actually nothing on the menu disappoints, great appetizers! Genie is a great bartender, remembers everyone who comes back for a second time.

One of my favorite bars in Lakewood. The bartenders are all spectacular. I have never had bad service here ever. My favorite is Kim. Anything you expect in an amazing bartender she has.
The wings are probably top in Lakewood. I always come for wings but the Potato skins are outstanding. Very homey and they all remember you. If you’re looking for a «dive» bar to remember this is the place to go.

A favorite stand by! This is always a great place to go for hot tasty bar food served with a smile… reminds you of cheers where everybody knows your name! The cocktails are always consistent. you have to try the chicken wings! Wow! Is all I can say! The garlic was tasty cooked to crispy perfection! And my rib dinner was cooked and served piping hot with BBQ honey Brussels sprouts! Who would have thought? I was welcomed by all the staff upon entry, and again upon leaving! Jeanie our waitress is amazing! If you can ask for her, she is beyond accommodating! Always try to stop when I’m in the are, always consistent, always good!

I have to admit — I wasn’t impressed as I stepped into Rush’s dark bar. I thought, «what in the world are people thinking, bringing kids here?!» First impressions can be really inaccurate — didn’t take long for me to realize that Rush Inn was a lot more than a dark bar.
A greeter asked if we were here to eat and then guided us through the bar and into the eating area. Our table looked out on Detroit — the perfect view for a Saturday afternoon. A couple of booths away, a family with three small children enjoyed an early dinner. It was a really nice atmosphere — a surprisingly family-​friendly atmosphere.
I knew that Rush Inn had a reputation for great burgers. My wife had already decided to go that route, but I’m not a beef eater. No matter, I found at least half a dozen things if not more that I would like to try. I settled on the Turkey Ruben rollup and homemade kettle chips. She got the ‘oh-​my-​gouda’ burger on a pretzel bun and sweet potato fries.
I have to admit that when her burger arrived, I had a few moments of wishing that beef were on my menu. Rarely do restaurants serve thick slices of expensive cheese, yet this burger was definitely big on gouda. It also had several avocado slices — probably at least half of an avocado — in addition to everything else. She announced that «lady-​like» was not happening and dug in, proclaiming her love for this burger between bites.
Oh, the sweet potato fries were phenomenal. They didn’t need any kind of sauce — they were just crispy enough, yet soft and tender without being soggy or limp. My kettle chips were equally delicious — covered in some kind of ranch seasoning and crispy but not over-​done. They provided dill dip but honestly that wasn’t necessary.
My turkey Reuben rollup was also excellent. I appreciated the delivery mechanism — rolled up in a piece of aluminum foil — because it meant that I could eat without wearing half of it. Every bite had a good mixture of the ingredients.
Rush Inn earns a 5-​star rating for its surprisingly-​nice ambiance, diverse menu with seriously delicious food, quick service, and staff that was friendly and responsive.
Note to Physically Challenged Diners: Rush Inn is in an old building that is not fully accessible. You could probably get a walker and possibly a wheelchair through the bar and to the booths — I’m not positive about the width of the aisles — but the bathroom is down a flight of stairs. As someone who is physically disabled, I recognize how limiting this can be.
Call ahead to make sure you will be able to get to a booth and plan ahead in terms of the bathroom. I’m not taking points off their review because I feel like that is unfair for small businesses that are located in really old buildings. Still, I’d like to see more done about this issue.

So, we stopped here on our way to the Side Quest, which is just up the street.
We did not know what to expect, but came on a 3 $ taco night…
I’m so glad we did:)
Mostly, the Rush Inn is a bar-​ish place, but there’s plenty of back and side seating at booths all through. The place has a dark, rich wood tone, and the patrons were decent folks.
The tacos were EXCEPTIONAL, and their selection is quite good, with all sorts of stuff I intend to try as soon as possible. I think this place would make a nice casual dinner/​lunch stop, and if you need to get beverage, the barkeep and wait staff will keep em coming!
So, for a quick tasty bite, don’t walk slow, RUSH IN TO THE RUSH INN!

Rush Inn definitely has the dive bar look, however it does not function as a dive bar, much nicer than one! Food was good. Average portion but the burger I had tasted great. There’s an okay beer selection, not much for draft but a bit more in can/​bottle. I got turned on to the Old Chub beer recently (I RECOMMEND) so I had to get in on that action.
Above all else, the service was 5 star! The hostess was very nice and addressed myself and my friend the second we came in. Our waiter was equally if not even nicer. Gave recommendations, had no miscommunication, he was just a positive person and a great waiter.
Overall: I’ll go again, in a heartbeat. If I could give a 4.5 I would.

Great food. Really great bartenders but Jesus Christ the liquor is more expensive than doing blow off a hookers ass on a Vegas weekend bender! I recomend just eating whats on special, drink one beer and then mosey on down the road to the other 100 bars in Lakewood that are cheaper.

We’ve been here quite a bit in the last few years. We usually meet my parents up there for a burger and some beers. The most recent time we had our 20 month old daughter with us and we all enjoyed our burgers.
I love this place because it reminds me of growing up in Lakewood and when my dad would take me in to the bar to pay for his dart league. It’s old wood and nothing fancy. I love it and the food is always great!
