Downtown Rudy’s restaurant announces closure

A downtown eatery has announced its closure.

Rudy’s Eat and Drink, located on the main floor of the Manitoba Hydro building at 375 Graham Ave., posted on social media that the restaurant would be closing after “one last hurrah” on Friday, Aug. 21.

“With heavy hearts it is time to announce that Rudy’s will officially be closing its doors after an incredible 15 years,” the post reads.

The post gave no reason for the closure. Rudy’s and other restaurants in the building expressed concerns after an assault and resulting lockdown at Hydro Place in late January.
