My friends and I enjoyed the new year at The Ruby Tap. We drank a wine or two, but did not eat. The service was very good, the atmosphere was very calm for a holiday. I'm going back to the wine bar but not for a holiday.

Cute place and relaxed atmosphere but overpriced wine. Not by a little but a lot. Between me and my fiancé we didn’t even get one full pour (between the two of us) and it was $25.

Fun concept overall but unfortunately the quality of the wine is just okay. They have a handful of bottles available that are decent but they also are massively overpriced. My impression is that this place is mostly oriented towards folks who aren't super into wine so they want to try out lots of different options and see what they like.

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!!

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.

Parking: Parked about a block away. On the way back to the car noticed a free parking structure that made me slap forehead. Ha!

Very cute place, I had a wine spritzer that was pretty good. We were with a group and 2 of us can't drink due to health restrictions. They should really have some better non alcoholic options.All that aside I would have given 4 stars because the atmosphere is really good, and it's a good spot to sit and chat with a small group of friends. The three star rating is because the older gal with longer blonde was rude to us the whole time. Probably not the best option for greeting/serving people if you're going to be rude.

Dietary restrictions: Very limited options for group members who can't have alcohol due to health conditions.

Cute place! However, I ordered the winter sangria and got probably less than 1/4 of a glass and so much ice. Two sips for $8. So I went up to the counter and asked for less ice (after I bought two drinks). Bartender poured under half a glass. It’s sangria…. I’m confused… So I asked for a bit more. Still not a full glass and I was charged over a dollar extra.I actually chuckled to myself because it was kind of ridiculous.I don’t know, the vibe of the bartender kind of threw me off because I already spent a lot of money there and it was like she was shaking my pockets for change and went out of her way to up-charge me.It may not be her fault. Probably the policy.Also there was no table service.Flatbread was cold and unflavored.Eh… underwhelmed and the experience kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Won’t go again.

I know absolutely nothing about fancy wine stuff. I know that I kinda like Moscato. This super nice lady showed me how to do everything and even explained a little wine lore for this clueless adventurer. I sat out by the street side patio and ate some nice flat bread and watched some Netflix with a pretty nice natural setting.

Great place for drinks. The bartender was excellent, she suggested wines and let us sample. The Sangria made with brandy was awesome! Nice decor and good vibe.

Great spot for after work happy hour. Our group enjoyed "frosé", Paloma on tap and a variety of wines. For shareables, we ordered the truffle popcorn, charcuterie boards and flatbreads. Everything was really good. The inside seating allows for larger groups down to tables for 2. There's also a cozier area in the back with a fireplace.

The Ruby Tap has an excellent selection all the time and their wine club is fantastic!
