| - I am at home on cold meds. Home, cozy and feeling a bit woozy. Funny, how this makes me thing about Ruby Room. By the second time I went to Ruby Room, I felt like I was at home. Well, my home doesn't have pictures of naked ladies all over the wall (tastefully done of course). Wouldn't work at home, but here - Purrrrrfect!
My group has done an event here where we asked the awesome folks at Ruby Room to throw down some old time vintage cocktails. Not only did they do it big time (even using raw egg whites!), but they even did a special vintage drinks menu for every day use! You have to try a Pink Lady. Heaven, I'm telling you. (They hold the raw egg for ya, but still mmm mmm good.) Even the vintage menu is printed on a naked lady picture. Maybe this should be called The Naked Lady?
Well, they can't do that because in this neighborhood folks would think it was a strip club. And with no windows and a super dark interior that rivals only the original Chez Nous I can see how someone might think that.
Speaking of the neighborhood - this place can be tough to find. I have a friend who circled the place 2x before I had to go outside to flag them down. I got cat calls while I was out there. Speaks much more for the neighborhood guys hanging outside the convenience store than it does for me. But if you're ever looking for a little confidence boost - walking out here in a short skirt and flagging down a car is always an option. Though other cars may stop too...
Anyhow, the DJ's seem cool but I've never been there later than 10:30 so I've never seen a band or gotten too deep into a DJ's set. I'm lame, I know. But the music played when there aren't DJ's and bands is pretty dang cool. WIDE variety. Count Bassie, Blondie, Nouvelle Vague, Paul Simon, Stray Cats, Some funky band I never heard of but plays cool stuff. Actually, there was a lot of that. I asked who several of the artists were, but thanks to those potent Pink Ladies - I don't remember any of their names.
Service is awesome. Can't say enough about the awesome bartenders. WOO HOO! [With fist in the air and eyes closed] Love how darned friendly all of the folks who come here seem to be! So so friendly - yet totally chill. Love the red walls. Love the naked girlie pics that are all 70's ish and velvet looking. Love their awesome array of cocktail goodieness. They make a general non-drinker like me want to try more and more drinks.
Which brings me back to my woozy current state. (Don't you love full circle reviews?) Anyhow, Ruby Room rocks. Bring a friend, or make one while you're there. Or don't. It's all up to you. They're cool like that.
