A local favorite. It's been around for years. I usually order a cheeseburger to go. One of the best burgers I've had. It's a bar so it is smoky so I wait in the car. Service is fast and the vibe inside is good if you want a low key bar that's not too crowded. They play the sports channel and have dart boards and I believe one pool table.

The only place in Huntsville with that Cheers vibe: where everyone knows your name. If you are tired of those "other" bars that don't care about you but only , come to Rugg's. Shoutout to the premiere bartenders: Briley, Olivia, Erin, Lonnie, Charlotte, Jody. Love this place.

Lonnie is the best bar tender ever! To run a Bar with a bunch drunk ass mixture of people is legendary. So impressed by the environment. Blessed to have found this place. Went to college in Huntsville. Blessing I didn’t find this earlier. May now have graduated. Best environment ever!

I was introduced to this bar by my fiancee. It's been the best bar I've been to. It feels like home! Its truly like cheers! Everyone knows you and you know everyone. I walk in and the bar tender is pouring up our drinks, the cook knows our order. When I need a get away, to relax, or chalk it up with some great people, this is my go to place! They have good priced drinks and great food! Lonnie, Briley and Charlotte are great bar tenders, and Freddie is one of the best cooks in town!! Try a Rugby's burger and their cheese tots! You won't be dissatisfied!
