ruby ruby you are a gem in the rough

by wishonastar32504

This is a very get to know the stranger next to you kind of place. There is no way that you cannot know or find out who the person it sitting next to you. You can rub elbows with the best of them. it is small but the drinks and food are excellent. I keep going back to this place on my birthday because on my 25th i had a steak dinner there and every since then I have been getting those steak dinners. I love the place for meeting new people. The staff have been very helpful and friendly. I will keep coming back.

• Pros: food, steak, friends, service
• Cons: small

Best Playground!!

by mellisawelch

My girlfriends and I celebrated a B-day. The bartenders were friendly and cute. We danced a LOT! The best DJ and crowd. I didn't know they had a DJ every Friday and Saturday so I will definitely will be coming back. The crowd was great and the girls were pretty. What a goldmine!

Best lesbian bar for gay boys that dont like boy bars.

by prettydolly

I have allways had a good time at this bar. As a gay boy who loves the company of women, this bar is the best! The clientelle is allways welcoming and the staff is great.... I have more fun in this bar, either by myself or with my gay girl friends than anywhere else. I love Rubyfruit for it's cultural and gender diversity that is unmatched anywhere else in the city. Rubyfruit rocks. Thanks for keeping the spirit of the west village alive!

• Pros: great ladies/women
• Cons: none

message from the irish

by kashap

Just got back from NY for the St. Paddys Parade - had a couple of good nights out in Rubyfruits! Treated to the "delights" of princess and kansas - altho I feel no-one will appreciate them more than they themselves do!!! Barmaids were lovely and Lisa Love was class! Saturday nite was certainly an eye opener! It was an experience I wont forget in a hurry - and neither will my brothers who's impressions of lesbian bars has risen dramatically thanks to the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere we all received! Will try and get back again one day (and promise not to sing this time!) Slainte

• Pros: barstaff, atmosphere, bar top dancers
• Cons: princess, kansas, the "violater" ?

Women >35 should WEEP...

by gem_spotter

..if THIS is the best social option available to us in NYC! W/apologies to Ruby's loyalists (hopefully, you won't leave the bar long enough to read this), it's a long, narrow awkward space, often populated by ill-mannered barflies - woe betide the unsuspecting attractive "new girl"!! Expect the diehard regulars to run you off with hostile stares (sisterhood, my foot!) or ignore you until you wisely go away. In fairness, the occasional miracle occurs, & the place rocks w/approachable, pretty women. My advice to >35 NYC women ISO romance: Meet your lady ONLINE first, then bring her for a drink at "Ruby's" every so often, just to appreciate how good you really have it!!

• Pros: Old Standby, Good Staff/Drinks, Sporadically rocks
• Cons: , Wax Museum Patrons, Uncomfy Layout
