The Ruby Bar

We've been enjoying the Ruby Bar since they first opened. It's a rare slice of heaven in Round Rock. The hotel and bar are tucked away in a mostly residential neighborhood and sit right on Brushy Creek. The bar is a restored MCM house with a nice deck hanging over the creek. The service has always been first-rate, and the cocktails and food are exceptional. Unfortunately, when we're in a Texas heat wave it's difficult to enjoy the unique and beautiful outdoor spaces. I hope they invest in high-quality umbrellas and fans for the back deck, which is my favorite spot to relax and enjoy the view.

What a cute little place tucked away just outside of downtown Round Rock. The food was so good. I had the grilled cheese with tomato bisque. Loved the cocktails I had a love me tender and it is served in a tiki glass. I also tried the All Shook Up. Delicious. The patio is amazing with a beautiful view. It started raining on us so we moved indoors. The ambience is hip with out being pretentious. Very chill vibe! Service was great. They were busy but everyone was smiling like they were happy to be there. Food came out fast and drinks were even faster.

I wanted to share some feedback regarding our recent visit to The Ruby. We've been to The Ruby several times, and it's always been a great experience with excellent service and fantastic drinks. However, during our visit last night, we noticed a change that we found a bit disappointing. We decided to stop in with some friends for a few drinks, but to our surprise, our drinks were served in plastic cups. This happened with every round we ordered. We're not sure if there was an issue with the dishwasher or another reason for the switch, but it was quite different from the usual experience we’ve come to expect. We love The Ruby and hope this was just a one-time occurrence. We look forward to our next visit.

Such a cool spot and equally as fun drinks to go along with the ambiance. They change up the drink menu which makes it fun. Always friendly and I’ll be back

I almost don't want to give this place a good review. I consider it a hidden gem, and I don't want it to get too crowded. Staff is excellent, drinks are interesting and well made, food is always delicious. Please don't go there.

What a cute spot for a drink!! We came on a Saturday night not knowing what to expect, but walked in to this amazing vibe, with live music. It’s a cozy bar, not too much seating, but it feels like a hidden swanky bar. My drink came in a fun tiki glass and was probably my favorite cocktail I’ve had. Meg Lauren was singing and playing guitar and fit the whole thing so perfectly. Can’t wait to come back and try some more drinks!

I liked this elegant bar. This can be a central Texas response to cocktail bars in West Village or Hannam-dong in Seoul. Great drink / food menu, top notch service, and a friendly crowd. Also featured a live jazz singing.

Small bar lounge area, bar staff require you to place your order for drinks, at the bar. However, they are not engaging the customer, it takes away from the ambiance of such quaint environment.
