I ordered the Frito Pie, HORRIBLE, it had so much stuff on it, way too many jalapeños, way too many frito chips, but there was NO beef, and the beef I tasted was stiff. I WILL NOT return or recommend.

Regular schmegular dive-ish bar. Not a full slate of alcohol to select from but enough for a drink and then heading on your way.

Remy's is the best! Best bartenders, best drinks, so inclusive! As a redneck trans guy, it's hard to find places that feel comfortable for me. Remy's is it!

We popped in for a quick drink after dinner. This place doesn’t look very impressive and the inside has seen better days. But boy, the drinks were on point!!! Whoever the bartender was really did a terrific job!! Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a quick drink on your pub crawl.

Literally my new favorite place in Durham. Pure ghetto-grunge-casual goodness.
First time I went I got the two taco plate with Birria beef for $10 (all plates are $10) and a shot of whiskey for $7. I watched something like cannonball run on the backdrop of the bar and thought I had died and straight up gone to heaven.
Second time I got the Birria beef burrito, served with Fritos corn chips and watched Galaxy Quest on the backdrop of the bar. Good lord. I had died and this was, in fact, heaven. The Birria burrito was better than the first.
i'm going to do a separate review for the taco stand in the back, but it's all of it. It's one perfect combination of awesome atmosphere dive-ish bar, classic retro 80s movies on the backdrop, good alcohol and/or cheap alcohol, and literally to die for $10 Mexican plate options. Once you go you're gonna want to go every night, and lucky for you you can afford to
Stopped by on the snowy night this week. Bruce was serving and setting a very cozy vibe on the aux. Monday and Tuesday all drafts are $5. Had a pint of Guinness. When I asked for another Bruce acknowledged the keg was tapped and gave me the second on the house.
Long story short—Remy’s / Ruby’s please have Bruce tend bar downstairs as much as he wants to, absolute rock solid guy who created a welcoming vibe on a chilly evening.

Terrible service... Bartenders just looked like they rather be somewhere else. Drinks were watered down... Very light pours. Quesadilla was pretty good tho.

My friend and I came in here on a Wednesday night and sat at the bar, the bartender acknowledged us briefly by awkwardly holding our hands and then we sat for 20 minutes being ignored by the bartender. The other people at the bar kept giving us weird looks. We left, since it became pretty obvious we were not going to be served. Definitely felt unwelcome!

I’m a typical foodie and love going out for a bite and a cocktail. This spot had a good vibe but the food was nearly inedible and the drinks were lackluster at best. Service was fine, but would not go back. We had to go somewhere else for food after “dinner” here
"Go get your water over there.. but I'm at the bar??". FYI not busy and buying $15 drinks??

The drinks here are awesome and the bartenders are always playing the best music. The vibe is dark and chill late at night, which is my favorite time to go. Sometimes I'm craving a cheap beer and sometimes I'm craving a well made martini. They can always accommodate either one, which most places can't do. Never had a bad time here!

Stopped by because it was playing really good music and I ended up staying. Bartenders were excellent.
