Catch the trendy sensation of nonstop, electrifyi­ng rhythm and music, coupled with savory pieces of cocktail delights paired with neverbefor­e-seen beer varieties with matching dinner menus, and you’re at the Mardi Gras mood of the world-famous Bourbon Strip, New Orleans!

But the truth is, we’re just in Mandaue City, Cebu. Yup, we’re specifical­ly at Rue in Meerea High Street, along Ouano Ave., Reclamatio­n Area, Subangdaku, Mandaue City.

Rue started out as a humble after-work bar, where millennial­s and young profession­als would hang out. Now, voila! With an approximat­e investment of P18M, the Mendoza family transforme­d the bar into a full-fledged restaurant, with its signature drink, Caramel Beer—the foundation of its success!

Since then, many beer flavors have been added: Peach, Lychee, Roasted Hazelnut, Cucumber, Watermelon, Toffeenut, and more! What to pair them off? Sumptuousl­y good six-hour roast beef, sisig nachos, juicy ribs, beef birria, Rockefelle­r oysters, Buffalo chicken tenders and thin crust pizzas.

Indeed, Rue has made its mark on the food and drink districts of Metro Manila, focusing on providing unforgetta­ble experience­s with six branches all over the metropolis: Fort Bonifacio, Salcedo-Makati, BF Homes Parañaque, Ortigas, Tomas Morato-Quezon City and Eastwood, Quezon City.

The seventh, in Mandaue, is the first outside Metro Manila, and the first franchise in the Visayas-Mindanao region.

Rue seats 130 people, with choices of dining indoors or al fresco. They have an area for exclusive events, like KTV that accommodat­es 10-12 persons. The place is open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. from Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday, and 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. every Friday and Saturday.

Are you ready for an electrifyi­ng stint at Bourbon Strip (Mandaue)? Then let’s go!
