Part of the Ruby group (which includes Ruby Lounge in King's Cross), this newcomer has brought a touch of class to the Hammersmith drinking scene. The decor is tasteful and inviting and the clientele young and well-dressed. There are no real surprises on the cocktail list, but they are competently prepared and a very reasonable £6.50 (£4.50 during happy hour). The large bar stocks over 40 rums, five proseccos and over 40 other wines, and on tap are Deuchars IPA and London Pride - you certainly won't run out of drink options. The bar is divided into three areas: a main bar with comfy leather seating, ornate, floral-motif wallpaper and giant Christmas-bauble type lampshades; a light, airy morning room and a sizeable dining area. There is also a great beer garden - a rarity around these parts.

I went into Ruby Grand this weekend. I had to stand at the bar a while before I was served. The barmaids seemed more keen getting the bar clean. Once I had their attention though they were so friendly. I was taken straight to my table and while I had to wait ages for my friend to arrive the waitress was really nice checking I was ok. The restaurant section was not busy at all which I could not understand. I experienced great service and the food was really good. The brusceta I had to start with was very oily but other than that, I couldn't complain all night. If you live nearby and haven't tried it I would recommend you go!
I popped into Ruby Grand over the weekend with a few friends. The pub had a really warm welcoming feeling and was busy with lunch-time trade. Unfortunately without booking we were left waiting for a table for a while but we were quite happy at the bar with the friendly bartender! Once we were seated, our orders were taken and food arrived relatively quickly. I order the burger and chips - one of the best burgers I have had in hammersmith!
The cocktail menu is absolutely amazing. I used to work in a cocktail bar - i like to think quite a nice one but after visiting Ruby Grand I was put to shame, the bartenders looked so good as they prepared the drinks and even made me a one that was not on the menu! The food was gorgeous but took a little longer than I would have wanted! All in all - I had a pretty fantastic dinner and will be going back with friends.
A great find on the rather dingy king street. excellent food, attentive service, and great all round atmosphere. we got 50% off with a special offer, which made is superb value as well. highly recommended
Shockingly bad service. Would have been one star if it wasn't for the nice wine list and friendly welcome we got when we first arrived.
It went quickly down hill. We asked for bread with our mussels and got cheap white sliced bread toast, bad! The salad wasn't dressed, the risotto was stone cold and the steak was missing the bearnaise sauce. When we asked the waitress to fix these issues, not all at once, it took us a while to notice them all, she replied - "is there anything else missing from here, I don't want to have to keep going back and forth" - enough said, useless! Waiting staff that don't think it's their job to actually wait on people - whatever next!!?
We were told it was because of the new menu, but it's all pretty basic stuff.
Really like it. I did my birthday party there ( Yes Chris, i'm really 29) Very good canapes.
Thank you guys
