I loved this venue! My fiancé and I visited Ace of cups this past spring for a hardcore show with…read moremultiple bands. Seeing shows at more intimate venues is always my favorite. Walking in, I really enjoyed the art and decor as well as the shape of the venue, though to the side near the restrooms gets a bit crowded. My cocktail from the bar was great, and I know they have a featured list of fairly-priced cocktails (I want to say $12 - not bad at all). We also enjoyed the fenced-in outdoor area with the open kitchen! It was a fun night out and my only regret was not looking into parking beforehand. We were able to find street parking nearby fairly easily. I'd love to visit Ace of Cups again, and I absolutely will if they have Angel Du$t performing! Great venue overall and friendly staff.

Hmm. My feelings about Ruby have evolved over the years. In…read morecollege I came here often for live music because I had a friend who worked the door. Since that was 10+ years ago, obviously lots of things have changed. I do love the wooden interior. It has more of a classic tavern feel than most of the newer/more cheaply-built bars in the campus area. It has high ceilings and two main rooms, the one you walk into with the bar, and another to the right with a small stage and dance floor/high top tables. The first room has 2 pool tables, which is why I have visited more recently when some of my other go-to pool spots are too busy. Drinks are on the cheap side, with most of your basic options but this is not a spot to expect a specialty cocktail or a super wide variety of spirits. It's not a bad spot for pitchers of beer or your basic shots and mixed drinks. I would definitely rate Ruby higher because I've had great experiences there, but the service lately has been hit or miss. The last time the bartenders refused to change the music to a different channel, insisting on playing country and encouraging us to buy each song we wanted via touch tunes. On this same visit, the staff seemed super unfriendly serving drinks, and another staff member was mopping the floor while customers were still ordering drinks at around 10:30 on a Friday night. I understand that this place tends to close when customers are gone toward the end of the night, but it seemed like the staff really didnt want anyone to be there. I wouldn't think ownership would want staff to be pushing paying customers out on one of the busiest nights for bars. I'm sure I'll be back at some point, but if I go in to check if there's a pool table open and notice any of those same staff members from the last time, I might just head home.

They don't have a kitchen, so eat before you get here. Had no issues with the quality of our drinks or the service. Everyone was very polite. I was in for a Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras show. Saw two bands, the Whirlybirds and Big Mouth Brass Band. Both were excellent. The acoustics in this place are crazy good- not expected based on the diveyness of the joint. Ended up getting street parking right in front of the place. Only disappointment, the show was billed as doors at 6:00, show at 6:30. The band had no intention on starting before 7:00.
