Rudyard's
Neighborhood: Montrose

2010 Waugh Dr
Houston, TX 77006

Humble, TX 77338

mel m. writes: Probably the greatest thing about Movie Tavern is the fact that the guys that started it did so because they couldn't understand why they couldn't have beer in a movie theater.

A noble cause if e'er there was one.

The biggest problem with today's movie…
