Rudy’s Bar, New York | MCU: Location Scout

Rudy’s. 9th and 45th. Solid pours and they got free hot dogs.

Episode 2 opens with Jessica drinking alone in a bar. After another patron tells her she has a “nice ass,” she ends up banging the guy in a bathroom stall. The bar is not specifically named in this episode, but in the following episode, Jessdica does mention Rudy’s as a “safe place” to Trish’s hypnotherapist, Maynard.

Since Jessica drinks in many bars, there have been quite a few catalogued for her show. This does not appear to be Josie’s bar (and was not filmed at the location previously used for that bar). The production shot at the Buttermilk Bar, at 577 5th Ave, in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Coincidentally, there actually is a bar at 9th and 5th (at least during the time of filming), called Southern Hospitality. Thanks to MovieMaps for helping discover this location.
