Ruby’s Tap House

Ruby's Tap House

[CLOSED]

Yet another of the 2nd Avenue watering holes that caters to the young at heart and the identificationally challenged. One regular claims, “I suggest you come here drunk and leave here fucked up.” This is humbly interpreted as: this place will be really annoying unless you show up already buzzing, but once you get into it, you’ll have fun and end up drinking your face off. This sentiment could not be truer, as the DJ spins good tunes in the deceptively large pub, the crowd is generally friendly and attractive and the beer tends to go down real fast. Some places just have that effect on you. [MF]
