In Short
With a nifty art-deco entrance, exposed-rock walls and dim red lights, Ruby Room has the feel of a cool 1950s lounge. However, the graffiti in the bathroom and cigarette burns on the pleather banquettes in the small… Read Full Editorial
Great music and dancing by Zogsauce via Citysearch on 9/29/2010
The crowd is pretty decent midweek. The music is always good (except Mondays) and the place is always clean. Don't expect too much from their drinks, and their service could use a little work as well.

Oh Ruby, how you have changed... by Accident Prone via Citysearch on 3/27/2010
Yep, there are super cheap well drinks for students with ID. That part is pretty cool.
I used to love the ruby room, but in the last few years, things have changed. There are a lot more men here, and a lot fewer women. A lot fewer people…
Not a fun place by Sarah F via Insider Pages on 3/5/2010
We found this spot to be a bit scary for our liking. I love dive bars but being racist crosses the line for me. They staff were not friendly and we felt uneasy from the moment we went in. I think we'll select another spot to patronize.
Ruby Room is racist. by Steeny G via Insider Pages on 12/15/2009
The people who go to the spot are pretty laid back. It's dark and smokey inside. Almost seems like you walked into a satanic lodge. The staff is a bit on the racist side. Not a good place to chill and relax, you'll spend too much time…
BEWARE by Steeny G via Citysearch on 12/15/2009
The people who go there seem laid back. The place is dark and smokey. The service sucks, you have to muscle you way into getting a drink. The security is a little on the racist side. Don't look suspect or shall I say be of color. You won't…

Smoky Hipster Bar by Megu W via Insider Pages on 5/18/2005
The Ruby Room in downtown Oakland has long outlived its "in spot" status - people still love coming here, especially on the weekends. You'll have to squeeze your way to the bar, fight for the bartender's attention, and feel your way in the…
Shake The Tail Feather by bxg via Citysearch on 3/18/2004
I had the chance to pop by one random Wednesday night. Much to my surprise the evening's sonorous pleasures were Soul. After I ordered my Jamison's on the rocks, I looked over to the dj booth noticing a petite hot mama spining some great…
$.02 by benanas via Citysearch on 1/27/2003
Went there on a sunday night. Good laid back vibe and the bartender was friendly. I counted four beer taps that were on the nothing fancy side. Music was varied in genre but not it's good quality. Lots of couples by the bar while i found…
best club I've ever been bounced from by stevepalla via Citysearch on 12/5/2002
the Hotclub in Oakland-wednesday nights is a locals dance party. Plenty of beautiful male friendly girls. Intimate atmosphere-FREE-people dance and are friendly. Everyone that works there is cool-even when they're bouncing you! 86ed…
