Ruby's Lounge in Melbourne's outer eastern suburb of Belgrave is proof that "if you build it, they will come."

Editorial


Established in 2005 this live music venue at the foot of the Dandenong ranges has hosted some of the brightest names in the music business. Josh Pyke, Pete Murray, Tex Perkins, Cat Empire and Augie March are but a handful of the many homegrown acts to grace the Ruby's Lounge stage. The boutique style bandroom catering to just 330 patrons suits headline acts after a classy compliment to their bigger city gigs.

The beauty of the Ruby's Lounge experience is in offering an intimate performance environment that remains commercially viable for the artists. There is also a lovely private function room downstairs complete with its own bar that makes this venue an attractive option for promoters showcasing international acts. The genre-busting Canadian blues/folk musician, Harry Manx and alternative U.S. country act, the Willard Grant Conspiracy are two such acts to have joined Ruby's impressive talent list over the years.

Head to Ruby's Lounge on the weekend for the live acts and expect a warm welcoming lounge atmosphere during the week. The beverage menu at Ruby's Lounge includes a great selection of wines (don't be afraid to the ask the bar staff for recommendations) and top shelf cocktails.

Ruby's Lounge is a 50 minute drive from the Melbourne CBD and while there are no kitchen facilities onsite, the location is blessed with a wide selection of local cafes and yummy take-aways.

Whilst I am sure the venue is great it seems one can only enter is you are not LGBT. Seems like Belgrave really is backward and bigoted.
