Quintin “Q” Jones is Rudy’s chef, while Amanda Elfers serves as the bartender. The pub is named for Elfers’ great-uncle, Rudolph Volger, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 24, back in 1925. There are photos of him on the restaurant’s walls. “The image of my great-uncle always stood out to me, and the story of how he died at such a young age always moved me,” explained Elfers. “Rudy’s Pub sounded like a great name for a neighborhood bar, and now he’s back. We have his photo here on the wall, and he’s the center point of the restaurant.”
