Editorial Review for Ruby Skye – by Erika Stalder

The Scene
Ruby Skye owner George Karpaty has opened a see-and-be-seen club for those who are, in his words, "grown-up, make money and dress nice." Like the clientele, every aspect of the club is detailed and maxed-out plush. Stained-glass portraits circa-1814 highlight the club's decor while maintaining an old-school flavor. (The place once housed the historic Stagecoach Theatre.) The lighting system casts an oceanic effect on the dance floor--very Cirque du Soleil.

The Draw
The real allure for much of the clientele is away from the dance action. Upstairs, a private smoking lounge houses pool tables, leather couches and cigar bar. It's the perfect place for patrons to get away from the noise and engage in getting-to-know-you conversation while puffing on a stogie.

Insider Tips

The Extras

Friday and Saturday nights, pay $340 for a booth reservation. Perks: $200 worth of drinks, $40 prepaid gratuity, and entry without waiting behind the velvet rope.

Know Before You Go

On special midweek events and most weekend nights, be on the lookout for cigarette gals on foot. Expect to pay approximately $7 for a pack of smokes, $2-$3 for candy.

Save Time

There's an ATM located upstairs, next to the pay phones near the stairs.

Look Good

Although the attire is casual, don't wear baseball caps, tennis shoes, or any kind of sportswear.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

08/18/2008 Posted by DannyBoy415

Went to this club last weekend with my girl. Everything was amazing! Drinks, bartenders and the music! Man we were groovin! Man my head hurt the next day! All I can say is go check this place out. This is where the beautiful people get down and get funky! (although my girl didn't like when she saw me checkin out some of the other HOT chicks there!) Go catch your groove at this amazing place! You'll feel like a rock star!

Pros: Best drinks west of the Mississippi! Great DJ'S! Great Music! Parking closeby

Cons: Last call should be later, but that's a state law I think?

Ok, I don't know were to start, perfect sound system, the crowed is their to enjoy the DJ's and get their dance on!, The bars inside are very large (3 of them) and a friendly helpful staff. Yeah the music can be loud, but for a amazing night blowing your ears out it's worth the damage. There's a cool indoor smoking room on the 2nd floor with some hiphop beats. Buy your tickets online so you don't have to wait in line as long or just show up a little early becuase the crowd tends to pick up around 11:30ish. I've been to this club too many times to remember and i can't wait to show up again with friends.

Pros: music, crowd, drinks

Cons: line outside like most clubs
