Like they have their own facebook group (with over 400 hundred members no less plus videos and snaps), a regular Monday Quiz Night and fun stuff like weekend DJs e.g. Mainline who spins everything from indie to house music for the Blind Tigerettes. Exposed brick, wood beamed ceilng, a well stocked bar (especially on the beer front) and some comfy sofas complete the picture. Oh, and did I mention the drinks are really cheap... That might account for the merriment of everyone in there.

Aside from redecoration and a spacious chill out area, the main difference to the legendary music venue is the stage. There's a spanking new state of the art PA system installed, new lights, new audio-visual equipment and for the jazz fans amongst you, a concert grand piano. What's more, the venue looks set to make local funk, soul, blues, jazz, hip hop and world music fans extremely happy with a packed programme of live shows and deejays most nights of the week. They've already had gigs from Breakestra, Nitin Sawhney and The Mad Professor and Southern soul legend Candi Staton is set to grace the stage in April. The show you have to reserve a ticket for however, is 27 March when 10 piece band Introducing will be attempting to recreate DJ Shadow's seminal Entroducing album live. Yup, that's note for note, loop for loop, for the very first time, live AND in front of an audience! Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmzHRGoKca0&feature=related

Decent beer on tap with a couple of local ales but not setting the world alight. They have added some tvs which is good to watch the footy and live sport - the tvs are also in good positions unlike some pubs where they cram them in the corners! The landlord is apparently going to put the best part of 100k in to it, which is much needed. Hopefully I'll be updating this review with an increase of stars soon!

My suggestion was actually a hit. I did my indecisive alterego very proud. There are many quality club nights organised by the Lost and Found name and this was no exception. Dance off, being £1 entry, sold it for me. Doubles for £3, a range of sambucas £1.50? Messy. Dance off saw a battle between three major DJs, strangerways, good vibrations and juicy DJs playing a mix of Joy Division, The Temptations and Dr Dre. Amazing combination. Ruby Lounge is renown for it's quality club nights and live music. The venue is perfect, with an adequate dance floor, a stage to match and plenty of seating on a slightly raised level for a chill out. Another great Northern Quarter location that needs to become a regular thing for me.

Well, it wasn't when I was in the Ruby…read moreLounge last night for a Lost and Found gig which is why I felt comfortable to take my boyf in with me. The gig was billed as The Cribs Aftershow but it was basically just a gig- most of the spectators were either in one of the four bands, looked like they should be or were girl groupies who were way too impressed with themselves that they were getting backstage. The sofas and high backed armchairs in the main bar area were nice touches, there were a few mirror balls around too. Plus velvet curtains - hello, strip club? Then you turn to the grimy stage area with the big grill up between the bands and the crowd. That said, no one went past the pillar anyway. Too cool to stand right at the front. Alright drinks prices - get some of their cheap vodka mixers or flavoured sambucas otherwise you'll run out of money quickly. After the bands they had Gareth Brooks from Xfm DJIng but we didn't end up staying.

I must try it one day as I have only ever had a few drinks inside: it's cheap. Maybe they are all going to whip out some meaning-of-life novels in a few years time once they've got enough material. We'll be the ones left searching for which character is based on us. The White Horse itself has stood the test of time, with two nearby public houses just yards away closing in the last few years - The Grapes has only been painted over for now, the other is the new Chinese restaurant.
