Excuse me while I clear my throat. Ah thats better ... this club sucks! I was there on a nice Saturday evening/night. My friends were having a b'day party and our group of about 15 people were the only ones there. The dance floor was empty the whole time we were there.

Give this place a miss ... it has potential (nice venue) ... but complete rubbish.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!Went here for a friend's party and there were over 20 of us. I'd seen the pictures on the web and found it quite cosy. When we got there it looked great, the only problem there was hardly anyone there for a saturday night.Things then started to go from bad to worse. The music was really rubbish, especially when i was informed that they'd be playing different types of music. The food that we had ordered was appalling and tasteless. Then my boyf wanted to go out for some fresh air, it must have been around 12am, I went with him, and after a little while we decided to go back inside, only to be told by the bouncer that we couldn't enter as my boyf was feeling sick. Actually he was fine, only needed fresh air, it's better than him throwing up inside, I was so annoyed cause we'd all been spending quite a lot in the bar. The people at the door were so rude and patronising. Very unfriendly!! The bar staff looked like they should be somewhere else, they were moody!!We were so annoyed by their attitude that all 22 of us walked out...and what's worse they allowed us to walk out and didn't care that the bar was now ridiculously empty!!!! PLease DON'T go there. I saw the bad reviews online, but choose to ignore it, PLease don't ignore this!!!!

I can not tell you how much I do NOT recommend this venue! The staff are lazy, rude and couldn’t care less about getting constructive feedback!
When I made my reservation I asked three questions, Do you have table service- YES, Are you busy at 6pm on a Friday? YES , Can I reserve and area? YES. All three were proved to be wrong.
They do not do table service so in a totally empty venue (where the staff are stood behind the bar with there arms folded and chatting away with their backs to us) I have to serve my own table! I had to clear the table myself and I carry the drinks over to my own table and the empties back to the bar. I event collect my own bowl of olives that had been delivered from the kitchen, to the bar and just left there!
We ask for the music to be turned on as the silence is defining, we got absolute rubbish!!

We get the bill and they have the cheek to put service on the bill. When I ask when I when I was supposed to have received this service I am informed by yet another rude member of staff that I had “received all the drink I ordered”, so there for I should pay service charge. Service is for when you provide at least satisfactory service to a customer and we received nothing of the kind!
We had the worst evening and no- one gave a toss whether we had a good time or not.

I have been to Ruby Lo 3 times. the first 2 times were great - i even had my birthday party there with a massive bunch of people and we all had a fab time.
Now i went back yesterday for a friend's birthday and i have to say it was very dissapointing! especially the music. It was the same DJ (Jim) but he played only really bad music and really was not at his best. We all hoped the atmosphere was going to pick at some point, but people just started leaving really and by 1am the club was half empty. So change the DJ or get him to play better music and Ruby Lo would have been great.
And special mention for the super friendly bouncer Achim, he always has a nice word for us.
And last comment: beware of the french staff there... good looking but toxic!

I am going to Ruby Lo for the first time tonight and from what I read below, you guys have got me slighty worried. I been to so many bars and, yes, some bouncers can be really rude. I think I went to Ruby Lo last year for a punjabi night and I had a good time. I think nowadays bouncers are very fussy about who they let in.


I went to Sway bar a few weeks ago and the bouncer there was really helpfull. I was not on the guest list and he didn't charge me at all.

We went to Ruby Lo for my friends party, and after waiting 20 minutes on the guest list we saw a customer being kicked out for insulting the doorstaff. The poor doorman after trying to explain the club rules decided to kick her out for, then five minutes later the manager arrived and decided to let this girl in!


She queue jumped us and we had been waiting for 30 minutes! The doorman told us it was the club rules and there was nothing he could do about it! I don't recommend Ruby Blue at all.

I stumbled across Ruby Lo the other week by accident. I must say it was like a hidden gem to me! The price after 10pm was a reasonable £5.00 and refreshingly the staff there were friendly, without the obnoxious behaviour so common in nightclub staff in London.


Ruby Lo was chilled, with a relaxed atmosphere and I got a nice, lounge seat to sit on too. I will go again definitely.

I chose to celebrate my birthday at Ruby Lo this year and I'm glad that I did! My mates and I had a great time! I rang earlier in the week to reserve a table, which was free with no minimum spend.


We went on a friday and have to admit it was a slow start - 10pm and hardly anyone was dancing. But then the strangest thing happened - I went upstairs to make a phone call and by the time I came back down the bar was filled with people dancing!


Overall, the music at Ruby Lo was good, bar staff were friendly and the place was not over-packed, which is just what you need when you want a good boogie!
