Went to a party here after fashion week. Really liked the ambience. Fantastic wine in great glasses. The big ones that don't collide with your nose and let you enjoy the wine. I was a bit distracted and lost a scarf and my phone. Someone handed in the scarf and my phone was kindly returned. The staff found someone else's phone and rang me to help. In a world where nobody cares this has to be a good place. Thanks guys.

Went last night to a mate's birthday party on the top floor last night. Very unique fit-out but that novelty only goes so far. The drinks are overpriced but I could possibly tolerate that if the service even rated as average.
Bar tenders have massive attitudes, although I will say the girl on drinks service was very good at her job. The bouncers are complete tossers and harassed people everytime they went out side for something. In the end the party ended early and moved to a nearby bar with a more lively atmosphere and better service.

Don't let the name fool you, the Ruby Rabbit is a wonderland full of surprises behind the guise of a inconspicuous red bunny hutch. So follow me down the rabbit hole as I take you on a tour of one of the hipper places to hang out at whenever you're in Sydney. There's a great range of live performances and creative installations that offer something to suit everyone all year round. The crowd always offers a great friendly vibe that just adds an extra dimension to the night. The ground floor is reminiscent of 1970's disco fever with cozy booths and kitsch George Jetson space chairs with a bar trimmed like a hawaiian luau which often feels like stumbling onto a set from the South Pacific. It's a great room to just settle in and grab your first drink to meet friends before heading upstairs to the main attraction.
The first floor is decked out like a Soho apartment complete with popart murals and bronze mosaic tiled wall. The ceiling is illuminated by 108 free suspended light globes, which make the room a great place to see the star line up of bands that perform here nightly. The top floor is like steeping back into a time when glamour was a state of being, the De Nom floor is an 18th century inspired French Salon, where every detail has been created to ensure you'll have a night to remember. And while places like this are fairly common in Europe and the East Coast, in Sydney where a bunch of milk crates and a beer coaster are often classified as a bar, this place is a welcome addition to Sydneys club land. So make a booking for De nom when you really want to escape to a time where excess was not a dirty word and Marie still had a head.
The Ruby is a club where you can find your groove no matter your mood, from Grungy Funk, to Boho, to Bourbon Fantasy. So join Alice in Wonderland at least for a few hours at the Ruby when your in Sydney, you'll be glad you followed that big red bunny down the hole :-

Gee some people whinge and moan and groan when they can't get into a place. Obviously, when a bar is small it's sometimes gonna take a little while to get in, also when a bunch of guys rock up together it's tough to get in anywhere in Sydney. I mean, do you like the bouncers anywhere??? I generally dislike all of them, unless you go to the same place every single week consistently. And even that is no guarentee they are gonna be friendly. But hey, they are not employed to be friendly, and I for one have been able to accept that in my life and move on, sounds like some other people should too. As far as the crowd being pretencious, I find Ruby has the least pretencious crowd of any club in Sydney! It's one of the only places that people don't look you up and down when you walk in! I can only suggest that all the negative remarks on this page are from some very backward rejects!? I can't think of anywhere in this whole town that you can have a better time!? The only let down for me is the lack of a verandah or outside area or view of some sort. If it had that, it would be the perfect club. Good music, great people, awesome place!

There is only one reason RR still exists. These are tryhards and wannabes. Power to them if they like paying for overpriced drinks. We were on the top floor. We were served by a waitstaff. When the bill came back, we were charged an extra 10% on-top of the price of the cocktail (equivalent to the price of a main meal). What was the occasion? It wasn't a public holiday, nor was ther any mention of a surcharge. Maybe it was for the privilege of talking to the waitstaff simply by taking our order. Maybe the overpriced drink was because the cocktails were assembled by such a highly skilled bartender. So we put that theory to the test. We wanted to know what one of the listed ingredients on the menu of the cocktail was. Here's the funny thing. The bartender didn't know herself! Pretty funny isn't it? No? well I guess you had to be there. Then again, you probably wouldn't.

Hey take a torch - it's dark in here! Ladies loo has to be the darkest one in Australia! It smelt clean but forget about doing your make-up in here. The barman had to use a lighter to search for liquor. I requested and the musicians had no stage light on them at all!
Went along expecting a bunch of beautiful people but it's just the usual music crowd fashion - nothing special - guys in jeans and sneakers, gals in smart casual. Music-wise the sound was excellent and clear and it's a nice comfy size small venue. Was surprised by all the smoking though and also a warning about the decor...

Well we decided to go for NYE 06 and what an eventful night. I have heard a lot from the press about this place, but was disappointing. I was on the guest list but like all the fellow comments before, that was just not good enough and I was appropriately dressed. No wonder sydney siders are opting for bars instead of these overrated hassle to get into clubs.

Oh dear ChrisM, are you for real? As for the review I will say this place is not my favourite. I have however only been here once but I won't be breaking my neck to go back. The drinks are overpriced even for the area.

Well, I'm about to go here for the first time tonight with a group of friends from Est Sub. But honestly seeing some of the last comments on this page has discouraged me. To the quote "The crowd inside there like all from Sydneys outer west". Let me tell you ChrisM, I'm from the west of Sydney and I am a self respected young woman. Something that Eastern suburb money can't buy but my money can afford a drink at the bar I am sure. As us west people are not self pretentious wanna be millionairs living off are credit cards.

I have to add I found the door staff rude and unwelcoming here. It's the size of a two story terrace house. It was a black box with no decor and no seats - kind of like a standup party in someones lounge room. The bar was small, crowded and expensive. The worst thing was they advertised a Rock n Roll night and the music wasn't rock and neitehr were the people - filled with to me looked like eastern suburbs schoolkids - for a supposed hot new venue it was so lame. It's was free to go there but you would have to pay me to ever set foot in this place again.
