Ruby

This place is a gem. Drinks and service are 10/10. Can't wait to frequent this place more!

Solid cocktails and a cozy, plush atmosphere. Dark wood, wallpaper, and vintage mirrors. Feels like a speakeasy. Personable owner/bartender. Good spirits selection. Named after the owner Mike's ex's Corgi, Ruby -- whose image adorns the back wall. Across from Fred Meyer in Greenwood.

What a find! Very small and beautiful bar in Greenwood. The bartender knows his stuff creating amazing cocktails. Limited food options but the chicken wings are worth ordering.

Yo! Mike has a pretty special spot happening right now. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in my kind of place; divey yet casual with a small list of cocktails and bites, but Mike was at the ready to make whatever you want so long you gave him some preferences, he took care of the rest. The place was also packed and for being only open a few months, the dude already has neighborhood regulars! Again, awesome spot for a date night, meeting friends, or a daily hang. It was rad.

Neighborhood gem hole in the wall. The cocktails are superb, Mike is very friendly, the vibe is casual and upbeat, the conversations with the other patrons flow smoothly. Speakeasy? Perhaps. But you step through the red door from grimy 85th, and you end up in this classy-looking plush world-in-a-box. Magical.

This place isn't quite a speak easy but it definitely feels a little like that. The exterior of the building barely hints at what's inside. You could walk right past and either think they're closed or not even notice they're there. In fact we almost did just that except that a patron standing outside told us we really needed to try it. I suggested that more signage would let people know they're there but the barkeep said they kinda like the way it is. And, fair enough. On this Sunday evening there was a steady stream through the door all evening. This isn't the kind of place where everyone hides behind their phones. The whole bar was chatting away. A nice break from the usual Seattle freeze. The interior is a lush mix of damask fabric walls, chandeliers and a fun wall of pet portraits. The drinks here are really special. Mike, (the owner?) takes pride in his cocktail program with a mix of house made and premium bitters along with a whole variety of other special items. The menu is snack focused but we just stopped in for a drink (then stayed for a couple more) so didn't try it. 4 taps of beer. No official mocktail menu but they have a few options on hand. A great addition to the already strong neighborhood cocktail bar scene. Will definitely be back.

What a great little place! Super friendly staff who go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your time there. Charming atmosphere. And I was pleasantly surprised that the well whisky was an unexpectedly very good burbon that also happened to be my favorite, a classy move. Great place to unwind after work!

This place is so cute and quaint! It's small but a great vibe and the staff were wonderful and friendly. I've lived in Greenwood for 13 years and never stumbled across this place until recently. It's a hidden gem. Decent drinks but don't except to take a gang of people with you. Perfect for a couple! I'll be back for sure!

Ruby is my new favorite good-vibes cocktail joint that I want to keep as my own sweet little secret but also want them to thrive so will dutifully spread the word. Came in a couple weeks ago to celebrate a friend's birthday and we were well taken care of by Mike who couldn't be friendlier or better at cocktail profiling. We enjoyed our libations and snacks (french fries and fried pickles) and a cozy evening holed up in this classy joint. Great spot to arrive solo and make a friend at the bar or for a romantic date. I've been dreaming of returning ever since and intend to make my way back again very soon!

My husband and I went here for the first time tonight. Thank goodness we came early because it was packed. The owner was super nice and told us how he wanted a neighborhood bar feel. Well, kudos to you because that's exactly how we felt. He has pictures of dogs on his wall. I offered a pic of our miniature dauchshund Franklin, which i will for sure bring him. The drinks were great! It's a small space, so it was nice to make friends with the people sitting next to you. We will definitely be back here again!
