About

Despite its name, Ruby Room isn't just a bar. This Downtown Boston spot is an intimate lounge-style eatery with a touch of Latino flavor in its tapas menu. It draws a mixed gay-straight crowd for after-work drinks and dinner, with a focus on specialty cocktails, sandwiches, and pizza. Though temporarily closed, it was known as a cozy alternative to more boisterous bars in the area.

The menu leans American with Italian and Latin-Spanish influences, plus coffee options for a quieter visit. You'll find it near Boston Beerworks, making it a natural second stop after a beer. Regulars appreciated the small-plate format for sharing. A nearby alternative is Veggie Galaxy if you're craving vegetarian fare.
