I've been to rosebuds a few times and generally recognized the frat boy style bar that rosebud is. When I ordered my first beer, I watched another customer pass out from drunkenness and fall from the bar stool to the floor and hit his head. After this happened, the bartender/bouncer and his buddy helped the man "Andy" up and he continued to hang out at the bar. Andy then came up to me and my girlfriend, slurring his words and rubbing on my back. The bartender continued to serve this overly intoxicated man who continued to touch me until I eventually got fed up and left. The bartender and bouncer did not listen to me at all when I told them I was uncomfortable. The main reason I will NEVER go to this bar again is because the staff flat out refuses to kick out belligerent drunks!
Review Source:For the most part rosebuds is terrible. I have been going there for years mostly because I know a lot of people who hang out there. But the bar is really bad, the lounge next door is a little better it's easier to get drinks and you have more space to move around but they charge a five dollar cover. The bouncers can be real dicks around closing and about having your drinks outside. There also tends to be a lot of fights around closing time and near the door of rosebuds. I muck prefer silks lounge next door it's part of the same bar it's just a little bit better.
Review Source:I don't get what the big deal is. Loud bar, average price drinks (which I didn't fight my way to the bar to get, to be honest, I left that up to my friend), more than average and inadequate bar stool seating...
Maybe I was missing something because I couldn't see through the sea of JC Penney mark-down dresses and twisted leather belts holding up khaki shorts on hairy legs that ended in squishy suede loafers?
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I really think one could do better.
I agree with both of the negative and positive reviews of Rosebuds, however it really depends on time of year. When UK is in session the bar is very crowded (Thurs, Fri, Sat) and you might want don your yuppie camouflage (i,e coach bag, areopostale shirt, etc.) if you want to blend in. Summertime is a completely different story, the frat party is over, the crowd is a little bit older and more manageable.
  I really like the bar's atmosphere and the drinks are decent. The bathroom situation can be a bit ridiculous if there is a large crowd.
the Rosebud is always full of frat boys and sorostitutes-- and by full, i mean spilling out into the street. Â i tend to stay away from places that serve pitchers of Barardi and Coke. Â pitchers? Â seriously? Â wow...classy.
i do have quite a crush on the taxidermied swan, so i'll occasionally pop in for a drink to stare at it and think about how i might be able to steal it someday...
So I didn't think/know this place was a restaurant, but it's a great place to sit outside on a warm summer evening watching people across the street at Cheapside where you have to pay cover for the overcrowded version of the same. The staff were always friendly, we'd usually get there early and got to know most of them after a while. It was our standard summer night thing to do and always proved a fun evening.
