Rusty Kale's Pub - Edgewater

This place is amazing great food and drink specials. To top it off they have a very friendly staff, whom make you feel welcomed.

These reviews are completely insane. This place is horrid! Completely racist!

There food is amazing you should try the bacon and cheese fries

THIS IS A RACIST ESTABLISHMENT. My boyfriend and I are a mixed-race couple. I 'm white, he 's spanish/black. We 'd been there a few times in the past with no problem, but realized the difference is that those times had other black or Spanish people in the bar with us. The last time we went, we walked into a bar of white Irish (American) men. They lit up when they saw me (the only girl) walk in, and then when my bf walked in behind me the mood immediately changed. The bartender asked for both our IDs even though we 'd established we were literally only there to eat the chili. My bf gave her his ID, she said he was too young. Then I gave my ID, she said I was too young. I 'm 27, my bf is 31. So to double check, she then gave the ID to the owner. He, too, claimed my bf was too young. Both IDs are legit and accurate. They looked at us and said Sorry, you 're too young to be here . It was very clear the atmosphere was unwelcoming to mixed-race couples (or were catering to a crowd that seemed to have a problem with it). Needless to say, we pointed out their mistake twice, to which they didn 't respond, just waited for us to escort ourselves out. So we did. Haven 't been back since. Aside from that, the chili was delicious (that 's why we were there), we drove all the way from Jersey City for it, but they have a different bartender and chef there every night. The food is never made the same way twice. It 's dirty, too. If you 're white and only have white friends, you 'll enjoy yourself if you like dive bars. If you 're black, Spanish, or any other minority, keep your eyes open. You might be treated differently if you find yourself to be the only one of your race in the house. We 've been in plenty of situations where individuals have a problem seeing us together (it 's just the world we live in), but NEVER from an establishment. We are still disappointed and feel severely disrespected by the spectacle they made of themselves that day. I felt like it was the year 1800. I wouldn 't write a review like this if it wasn 't true. Obviously I 'm not the racist one...
