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 ExtrasFriday 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 GoOn 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 TimeThere's an ATM located upstairs, next to the pay phones near the stairs.
Look GoodAlthough the attire is casual, don't wear baseball caps, tennis shoes, or any kind of sportswear.

Never written a review of a dance club, but as a live sound engineer, the sound system is fantastic. If only all the shows I did had a system this great. But I degress.... I am mostly writing this review to dispute the 2 most recent reviews of the club. I visited the club on July 4th (yeah I know-independence day) to see Sasha & Bad Boy Bill. Never once was the crowd rude. Plenty of people bumped into me, and nearly all apologized. Sure there were people who were drunk....but come on...this is a dance club. How the heck do you think they make money? Surely not from ticket sales... Speaking of the bar, I never had to wait more than a minute to get my drink, and they were quite potent. Definitely should not have had the last one that night.... I never had a problem getting in. Yes I bought the tickets by Ticketweb, but had them at Will Call. I don't think I waited more 3 minutes to get into the club. I arrived around 11pm. I really like the club overall. Never had a problem with the staff at all-none of the horror stories I have seen here on City Search. The staff appeared relaxed and generally seemed to be having a good time.
Pros: Sound System, Staff, DJ's, Dancers, Music
Cons: Last Call should be later

DON'T BUY TICKETS TO ANY RUBY SKYE EVENT! If you print your tickets, they make you wait in the GA line. We asked if we could wait in the WILL CALL line (cause it was shorter) and they said they would refuse ticket holders and put them back in the GA line. We waited 1 1/2 hours last night in the GA Line and moved 10 feet. WILL CALL was even worse. We spoke with the owner of Ruby Sky and he said he hated working with TicketWEB because "that's not how Ruby Sky works". THEN DON"T SELL TICKETS!! Its very disappointing because a lot of great DJs come to that place. Now I know why the GA line is so long!
Pros: Great music and atmosphere
Cons: Poor service and an owner who wants to take your money via TICKETWEB and not let you in.
