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.

Ruby Skye has great music... but the bouncers and management has no sense of what the hell they are doing ... If you have a "will call" ticket u gotta wait for half an hour more, if u dont then u gotta pay 10-20 bucks more. If bouncers feel the place is crowded and they can pack more people they may throw you out claiming u r drunk ... if u r not drunk but u dont look dangerous, then in any case u might get thrown out cuz the bouncers are bored .... in short, u r paying atleast 20 bux in advance with no gaurantee of any good time ...

Pros: great music

Cons: good chance of getting throw out if u dont look like u can give em a tough time for throwing u out..

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Ruby Skye is not only a very classy Club But features some of the best Trance D.J's in the world. This club has some of the best acts in the city! Their dancers wear some of the best costumes I have seen. Ruby's environment and security keep it a very safe and fun dance club. I should know I have been a regular there for 3+ yrs. I will continue going there as long as my legs permit. I love and have become close friends to alot of their people.

Pros: ambience, D.J.'s, music, dancers, Security

Cons: closes at 4+ a.m. 2 bad it cant stay open 24(7).
