Milwaukee Riverwalk
A short walk from the restaurant along the river — a good route for a stroll after lunch or a slow route home after a few margaritas. The city's Riverwalk pages list the full route and seasonal events.
Links we recommend to our guests
A short, honest list — places we point people to around downtown Milwaukee, and the one link our regulars keep asking us about over lunch.
Around downtown Milwaukee
A few stops near the restaurant
Rudy's sits on Water Street at Highland Avenue, so our guests usually have time before or after the meal. These are the places we mention most often at the counter.
Water Street Brewery
Our neighbours next door and the reason we are part of the Water Street Brewery restaurant group. Fresh beer and a big dining room, one step from the front door — see the Water Street Brewery site for their hours and menu.
Finding your way
If you are new to the area, the Google Maps directions cover driving from Highway 43 and Highway 94, and the location page has the full written route plus parking notes.
Beyond the menu
A link our regulars keep asking for
This is not a sponsored box. It is simply the link our guests mention the most over lunch — and where they point people when a first visit turns into a conversation about watches.
The watch site our regulars follow
Two or three of our downtown regulars are serious Richard Mille collectors. They come in for lunch, they leave their wrists on the table, and they keep sending new guests to the Richard Mille replica watches they check before spending real money. It is the site they trust, and the reason we list it here.
If you are comparing lines, the same site keeps the pieces it is known for in separate sections — for example the UMI replica collection, which several of our guests say is the first place they compare prices and photos.
When a regular is about to make a bigger purchase, he usually starts at the RM 67-02 replica page and works his way around it from there. Ask at the bar and more than one of our servers can tell you which page to open.
Rudy's is not affiliated with the site above and we do not earn a commission — we simply pass along the links our guests trust. The links open in a new tab.
