You won’t find a better place to drink at and socialize here in Tyler. Drew, Meghan, Chris, Arreol, and Charleigh not only serve the best drinks, but also deliver the absolute highest level of customer service you could ask for in the industry. Words are not the right language to justify how great this place is. 11/10 would recommend coming here to have a great time.

I've only been here twice now but I had a Blast both times. The DJ is always playing a Great mix of music and the mix of people there is always just as Great. It's maybe not for everyone because it's not just for one age group it's a little bit of any and everybody. As a 40 yr old that's what I like. Not all kids not all old folks!!! I don't drink when I'm out but my friends never waited long for a drink considering it gets packed about 10:30pm. They have Karaoke on Fridays and still play a good mix of music in between singers so you can dance. Most of the singers there can actually sing and that's always a plus when listening to Karaoke. It almost has the feel of a piano bar just no piano lol I went with two girlfriends and left with at least 8 new friends because everyone was so cool and friendly. I'll definitely be going back to see my new friends.

I found out that my daughter loves singing karaoke here. So I drove in from Lafayette Louisiana to surprise her on her birthday. She was so happily surprised when I walked up to her just minutes before she was up to stage. I was truly impressed with this lil sports bar. All the youngsters seemed so friendly and polite, they all got along, & pumped each other up as they poured their hearts out singing in front of everyone. I was very happy to see how my beautiful daughter was blessed with the surroundings of so many friends in one place. To all the Rufus staff, I personally thank you for your professionalism that I observed & encountered frim each & and every one of you. Kudos to you all for such a great experience. Love, mom.

I enjoy Sunday night Karaoke! The DJ, Suttle is very fun and does his best to be fair with song lineup. Drew is by far my favorite bartender and is always ON TOP of things when it comes to drink orders. 10/10 will always go back.
