The Basics: If you’re an 80’s kid or you simply love all things 80’s regardless of your age- you could be 18 or 43… you’ll find a place close to “home” at “The Ruby”.  For a while now, “The Ruby” has tended to an alternative crowd, shying away, not entirely though, from Top 40’s and the Timbaland domination.  While “The Ruby” is a nightclub, many view it as a refuge where you can listen to, sing, and dance your arse off to 80’s, indie, electro, and some more 80’s- it all depends on the night you go. Even though the crowd is mostly between 18-22 (since it’s and 18+ venue) you’ll undoubtedly have a gay (as in happy) old time. While it’s a young crowd it’s also very mixed and eclectic- you’ll find everything and everyone coming together without any fuss- gay, straight, tranny, bi… you name it.  

One of the good things about this venue is that its spacious, it has a couple of dance floors and the bars are not usually crowded since most of the attendees aren’t of age. 

On Fridays “The Ruby” transforms into “Clockwork Orange”, which is mainly 80’s.  On Saturday it becomes “Bang!”, spinning indie and electro left and right. And on Sundays, it’s back to the 80’s yet once again with “Beat It”.
