We had a lovely stop at Ruby Tap to hang out, have a few drinks and spend time with family. Very cool concept for tasting wine, but the bourbon cocktail special I had was delicious and one in our group had a beer. The 'lounge' area was really comfortable for us to hang out as long as we wanted. I would say we'll be back!!

Ruby Tap is a great neighborhood hang with fun events all the time! Their little nibbles are delicious too!

Lovely atmosphere with great staff! Got a few snacks to share, so delicious & prepared to order. Loved the open air wall!

beautiful and romantic place like a rustic setting, located in a beautiful area of the city. great variety of wines to choose from and beers both inside it has tables or a very cozy living room area joins the balconies I have not visited 2 times and I think it will be one of the places that I would visit more often I love it and the super service nice professional

Excellent wine and charcuterie boards with an even better environment! I don't have the palate for wine tasting but thoroughly enjoyed the glass I chose thanks to help from the nice lady behind the counter. My only negative comment is that the wines were relatively pricey, but for those of you wishing to taste quality wines, this is the place. I am more of a beer drinker hence my trepidation. Overall, great place and great time!

We hosted a baby shower for 30 guests at the Ruby Tap and it was wonderful. Brooke was easy to work with to make the reservation, and the staff/service the day of the event was excellent and very accommodating. The venue is very pretty, and the setting was great for drinks and snacks, lunch, and gift opening. Everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this spot for this type of event.

Not a fan of wine but this place was awesome. They were very patient with me and made it along of fun. Had a fantastic wine and a really great time. Highly recommend.

It's a great place for a date or a girls' hang. Intimate, cozy atmosphere.
