We hosted a baby shower for 30 guests at the Ruby Tap and it was wonderful. Brooke was easy to work with to make the reservation, and the staff/service the day of the event was excellent and very accommodating. The venue is very pretty, and the setting was great for drinks and snacks, lunch, and gift opening. Everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this spot for this type of event.

Not a fan of wine but this place was awesome. They were very patient with me and made it along of fun. Had a fantastic wine and a really great time. Highly recommend.Parking: Parked about a block away. On the way back to the car noticed a free parking structure that made me slap forehead. Ha!

Very cute place, I had a wine spritzer that was pretty good. We were with a group and 2 of us can't drink due to health restrictions. They should really have some better non alcoholic options.All that aside I would have given 4 stars because the atmosphere is really good, and it's a good spot to sit and chat with a small group of friends. The three star rating is because the older gal with longer blonde was rude to us the whole time. Probably not the best option for greeting/serving people if you're going to be rude.Dietary restrictions: Very limited options for group members who can't have alcohol due to health conditions.

Cute place! However, I ordered the winter sangria and got probably less than 1/4 of a glass and so much ice. Two sips for $8. So I went up to the counter and asked for less ice (after I bought two drinks). Bartender poured under half a glass. It’s sangria…. I’m confused… So I asked for a bit more. Still not a full glass and I was charged over a dollar extra.I actually chuckled to myself because it was kind of ridiculous.I don’t know, the vibe of the bartender kind of threw me off because I already spent a lot of money there and it was like she was shaking my pockets for change and went out of her way to up-charge me.It may not be her fault. Probably the policy.Also there was no table service.Flatbread was cold and unflavored.Eh… underwhelmed and the experience kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Won’t go again.

Stopped here for a post-show drink. I love the vibe and ambiance and they have plenty of options for people to try. Our server was friendly but also gave us space to catch up. The wines are good but kind of pricey. Two small pours (3 oz) of a sauvignon blanc was $6.25. Loved that they have self-serve water. May stop by again but would be on the look out for a happy hour.

I've come here with friends a number of times! It's just a cute and fun spot to hang out over drinks. I like the variety of wines you can try with their ordering system.

I know absolutely nothing about fancy wine stuff. I know that I kinda like Moscato. This super nice lady showed me how to do everything and even explained a little wine lore for this clueless adventurer. I sat out by the street side patio and ate some nice flat bread and watched some Netflix with a pretty nice natural setting.

This wine bar was super cute! The patio is a must for a sunny evening. I loved the wine on tap (tried two reds!) and the snack menu for a DIY charcuterie board experience. A perfect date night or girls night spot.

Great service the food is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere could be a bit better especially when you are a 1st timer (not a regular) but other than that everything is fantastic

Great place for drinks. The bartender was excellent, she suggested wines and let us sample. The Sangria made with brandy was awesome! Nice decor and good vibe.

Such a lovely and welcoming place! We celebrated our daughter's upcoming wedding with a bridal shower earlier this month. The luncheon was delicious, the room was set-up beautifully and Lisa our server was outstanding! Our guests had a wonderful time! I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a small gathering.

Such a fun spot! You can order tastings of the wine list on special, or you can grab a card and create your own tasting menu of anything they have in stock. The best part about this place is the combination of knowledgeable staff who can give you their opinion on available wines, and the juxtaposition of wait service if you need it vs self-serve check out all the possibilities nature over the place.

The place itself is cute but the glasses of wine are pretty overpriced for the amount you get. The wines on tap tasted like juice. Glad I tried it but wouldn't go back. Would rather go to Vino and buy a nice bottle that isn't overly up-charged.

Great spot for after work happy hour. Our group enjoyed "frosé", Paloma on tap and a variety of wines. For shareables, we ordered the truffle popcorn, charcuterie boards and flatbreads. Everything was really good. The inside seating allows for larger groups down to tables for 2. There's also a cozier area in the back with a fireplace.

I have a deep love of this little wine bar here in Tosa! I found it a few years ago and introduce all of my friends to it when they are in town.Located in the Village this low-key wine bar shines with comfort and great selections. It is women owned by a pair of sisters, who name each level of their wine club after their dogs (which I think is awesome!). Their wine options range from affordable and pairs with frozen pizza or brownies, to high end and pairs with Lamb. There is something for everyone in this local spot.They have wine machines that allow you to grab small pours to try new things or full glasses. Each wine features a flavor profile, and suggestions as to what it pairs well with, which I really appreciate.In addition they have 3 reds and 3 whites on tap at the bar, along with a cooler of beers and canned cocktails for those who may not like wine.Their food is perfect for sharing as well, from the truffle popcorn, to crispy flatbreads and always fantastic cheese boards.The space inside is warm and inviting, each to have a conversation and catch up, or have a date night. I cannot say enough good things about this place!
