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.

Look Good
Although the attire is casual, don't wear baseball caps, tennis shoes, or any kind of sportswear.
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.
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.

gjoey820 - 01/11/2003
The place was beautiful but the crowd wasn't friendly at all.I guess to young of a crowd and to yuppy. $20 too high for what the club offers. Music stinks. Too bad because SF needs a good dance club not to many to fell comfortable in. Hard to fine, I had high hopes for RS, thought I would go there every weekend but its not like that. What happen to those Disco clubs, there will never be another like those years. Too bad.

worldviolation - 04/17/2000I am shocked if this place has not been sued for discrimination. The employees of the Ruby Skye will discriminate against you if you dont look like a model or show lots of flesh. My party and I waited in line for three hours and watched as the security personel were picking out women who whose breasts were about to bust out of their blouse. Ruby Skey is trying so hard to copy the idealism of the 70's with the image of Studio 54 (seen the movie?) It is rediculous, degrading, petty of them and a waist of time. They discriminate and make it so obvious. Throughout the night you would see permisquosly dressed woman walking back and fourth for about 2 minutes and then being picked to come in the club by the security. While the rest of us have been in line for 3 hours, some bimbo cuts in front of everyone. I find no pleasure in being insulted by an id*iot security pio*n who recieves his self esteem from having the ability to choose who comes in the club or who does'nt. One word to describe Ruby Skye: Discrimination. I will never go back and neither will my party. (On a note my party and I arrived at 9:20-ample enough time to arrive)4 last words Class Action Law Suit!!!!
