What started as "Central Cigars," in the late 1990s (where patrons could enjoy cigars from the area's large selection) and later, "The Havana Room," has morphed into a vintage lounge - known to locals simply as "Ruby's" - one of the few venues in the area showcasing live music seven days a week. The vibe is definitely retro peppered with a feeling of 40s and 50s chic. A long list of specialty and classic drinks and dim lighting pave the way for top-notch jazz, blues and soul - with an occasional appearance by an eclectic band. Many patrons appreciate the added draw of being able to access the cigar bar while they're there.
