Ruby Deluxe

I had such an fabulous time!!!! Vyki was the BOMB. And Aris was sooooooo . Would love to come again!

We're in town for an e sports event and were cosplayers. I feel like they discriminated against us big time. I am a supporter of the LGBT a community. We didn't carry any weapons as cosplayers and what we wore was NOT INTIMIDATING. What a great welcome to the city. We don't act like this in Atlanta

Went here for my birthday celebration and got a table of 6 for the Sunday Drag Brunch. The "brunch" part is the food truck that comes, but the one that was there the week we went was very bad - my friends all got food and only one of them actually finished their meal. The drag show itself was great and featured three drag queens - each of them went twice and it was a great assortment of songs and talents. There was only one bartender and it did take us a while to get drinks, and for a drag show the space is more intimate and smaller than others, like Legends. Overall, it was a good time because how can you not have fun at a drag show? The queens were amazing and super friendly - we were able to get photos with them after the show. I would definitely recommend booking tables and seats at least two weeks in advance, as they sell out pretty quickly - especially if you're having a bigger party come.

This place is NOT WELCOMING if you are not of the correct ideological mindest. Plenty of signs on the walls expressing HATE.  There is no way a person could have a conversation here unless you belong to group think.  I was confronted as being "too white" which is really weird as there were zero minorities to be found.  I went to see a friend perform, enjoyed her show, but I would never return to this place unless I had a lobotomy first.

Want a bar that that's simple, clean, chill? Ruby Deluxe is just a bar. No theme, no fancy drinks, just chill. That's what makes it great. The bar has a great decor and aesthetic about it. Two pool tables in the back, plenty of comfortable seating, and outdoor seating is available.

Yessss. YESSSS.When I left Durham, I missed The Pinhook something fierce. I craved an interesting venue that felt safe, welcoming, and wild. After traveling around the country and getting back to Raleigh years later, Ruby Deluxe filled that void and then some.It's a $10 membership fee, but can you really put a price on nightlife freedom? Make the investment and prepare to hand your life over to the kickass bartending staff.Shine your schnazziest shoes (or classic Chucks - whatever works) and prepare to dance your heart out to sick beats from some of the best DJs in the area. There are occasional move nights and interesting performances. But the raucous party nights are the best. There are great people to talk to, a decent beer selection, and sometimes Capri Suns shot full of rum. Bring your kickass attitude and leave your lamest friends at home.

Happened on this place on a walk in the city. Great drinks and cool atmosphere! The bartender was super accommodating and let us hang out before the inside opened.

Reminiscent of a few clubs up in NYC. Friendly staff. Cute bartenders. Worth a visit.

This place is super nasty inside. Dirty bathrooms, Dirty floors and omg the glassware looked like they just poured out someone else's drink and made yours out of it. I would avoid this place at all cost. The streets of Raleigh are cleaner than this place.

Super fun staff and great care. They made sure all customers were taken care of while also making sure their staff is treated properly. Some amazing queens kings and monarchs here
