Jude’s Old Town Will Now be Open Mondays
The popular eatery, located at 9252 57th Ave S, will now be open on Mondays from 4-11pm with happy hour all evening. Jude’s also hosts public readings, music, and micro-brews. The spot, within sight of Lake Washington in Rainier Beach features booths and a bar that gives the place a neighborhood hang-out feel. Jude’s opened in 2015 and added a wooden ‘streatery’ dining area complete with flower beds last year.
