Ruby's is one of my favorite bars in DTSP, with the added bonus they offer live music on a regular basis. It's connected to a cigar shop, which I do try to avoid, but it does add a certain something to the entire vibe of the place. The crowd that frequents here is definitely one which appreciates the ambiance more than the bar scene itself. It's typically a mix of ages though, and especially those who are cigar smokers.They have a classic cocktail menu, of which I typically get a whisky sour or something similar. The majority of prices are close to $20. The bartenders are genuinely quite nice, and you can usually have a more stress free ordering experience when you order in the cigar shop.The bands and artists that I've seen play here are honestly pretty good, and they definitely know how to please a crowd in such a cramped space. I don't stop in here terribly often, but when I do I always have a good time.

This is a pretty cool place in and amongst the local scene. The night friends and I frequented this place, they had some live music going. This place has a great vibe with lots of local traffic. To me, it seem like most of the patrons were locals and not tourist.I don't know if they have a parking lot as it seemed like most people were parking on the street or at the public parking structure. I got lucky and found a spot on the street and only had to make a short walk.For us, it was quicker to order at the bar, than to wait for the waiter to service us, because it was so busy. Drinks are a little bit pricey but not too bad. No objections to coming back here for drinks!

We come here because of the music talent and endure the cigar smoke ... on Sunday 9/1/24, we arrived at 6:30p just as Chris Walker took the stage ... from that time to 8:01pm, there are a total of 19 people in the place .... during the 90 minutes , I counted 27 people that entered and had a visual reaction to the smoke impact and left!!!! Management would do well to put an air apron btw Central Cigar and make Ruby's smoke free ... I've opened several restaurants/bars and consulted on many others and offer this at no charge ...

I had a great time at Ruby's while on vacation. The music was phenomenal and drinks were even better. Sometimes drinks are wack in these places but my old fashioned was perfectly balanced. I look forward to returning for another themed night next time. The casual fun nature is contagious!

The smell of cigars fills the room and bounces off the brick walls of this cozy bar. If you aren't there early enough then you'll most likely have to stand all night. While it is a cigar lounge and I'm not the biggest fan of cigars, I am a huge fan of jazz music. I look forward to Thursday nights at Ruby's when I know I can catch a live jazz band and enjoy a nice old fashioned or a glass of Prosecco. The bartenders and servers are always quick on their feet to make sure each table is taken care of.

We had such a blast here. Total dive bar and if you don't like smoke make sure to sit outside.

First time trying this place out. It's a bar with drinks and a cigar bar. We just came for the drinks and vibes. I ordered a Cosmo. First one ever and it did not disappoint! Service was great. Plenty of outdoor and unfortunately seating.They don't serve food but we walked to the Crafty Squirrel to grab pizza.
