Ruby, My Dear is a groovy Japanese-inspired vinyl bar and jazz cafe from two Brisbane hospitality veterans, located on a corner in Newstead.

Brought to the neighbourhood by Tom Sanceau and Bonnie Hislop (owners of Red Hook and former owners of now-closed Coppa Spuntino) the lively bar is already a fast favourite amongst locals.

In addition to the regular DJs, who play a diverse range of genres such as jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop and disco, groups of musicians come together on the first Tuesday of every month to perform.
