Ruby Deluxe

I don't know about their normal business model as we were just there for their Hopscotch day parties. The music lineups were great. The bar staff was helpful. The slushies were tasty. The beers were reasonably priced. The music shows were hosted outside, which worked out really well since the weather was good. The only real issue was the fact that there's a huge dumpster right next to the outdoor space that stunk to high heaven. Pretty off-putting.

Attended an awesome bass music event, Sub Rosa. Had a great time, from chatting in the patio area, to jamming on the floor, fun time all over. The blonde bartender that night was great, very helpful, took great care of me, great drink suggestions too. Went back again on a karaoke night, and it was also a good time. A lot of variety in selected music, so it was great to hear such a wide selection. Pepper Insult was the MC for the night and she would throw in some crowd pleasers too to get everyone singing along. Definitely made my work trip more enjoyable to have found this place.

So… the good the bartenders were nice but having to pay a cover on a Tuesday night when the bar was empty is ridiculous. Guaranteed will never return. Bar was EMPTY! $10 for what??!!

The best little place I've found! Welcoming, fun, and good beer. The owners are awesome, the bartenders are the best, and it's pretty easy to get to once you know it's there.

Me and my friends went on January 4 during a glitter hour we just paid and One of the rude guests spilled their drink on one of my friends didn't say sorry or anything.We asked one of the workers if there's a possibility for a refund and they said no but we literally just got there it was too crowded not enough space for a crowd that size. Dont go here. Not worth it.

It was stuffy and claustrophobic. Also they charge $3 just to be in there for karaoke. Which I probably would have been fine with if they didn’t try to be sneaky about it. Also, they have a poster supporting genocide and I don’t like my bars to shove their racism and politics down my throat. Regardless of their opinions. Honestly disappointed, hoped it was better. Oh well; there are other queer bars.

Went to Ruby Deluxe for the first time with friends on Friday night for paid DJ set/dance party. A little disappointed overall with the entertainment and lack of variety of songs played but since the DJ mentioned they were new, it's understandable. While definitely a dive bar with a basement feel, the place felt overall welcoming and staff was friendly. Door fee was pretty high and I wish you were able to enjoy some indoor games without needing to pay but otherwise an okay experience. Would return.
