Meet Ruby
Ruby's is a sliver of Swiss wine culture in Albion. We are an intimate neighbourhood bar and shop focused on good quality, minimal intervention wines. We're here for spontaneous visits, good conversations, and letting the evening unfold however it wants to.
With over 250 bottles on the shelf and 6 to 8 rotating daily pours, including our own house-made Pet Nat, there is always something new to try. We also have a growing vermouth selection to enjoy by the glass. We keep things simple with indoor and outdoor seating and a walk-ins only policy. DIY cheeseboard with our selection of snacks or scan a QR code to have modern Turkish meze from our neighbours at Olive Thyme delivered straight to your stool.
