Since 2007, at the site of a tavern that had been in this older section of town for years, the "newly owned and renovated" Rye Roadhouse has undertaken a timeless function, serving up cold drinks and comfort food to everyone from "blue hairs to bikers." The bar's specialty is Cajun soul food, dished up in ample portions and washed down with the finest of lagers. New Orleans-style Sunday Brunch, daily lunch and dinner specials are offered in addition to the regular pub grub menu, and the bar provides the only Cajun catering and takeout in Rye.
