2c4s Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 According to reports from Staff, the ruby lounge is closed down for good. (As the staff are all looking for new jobs etc). Appearently, and this is second hand info, so don't bite my hand off over it, cos we all love abit of gossip, but the staff weren't told they were closed, and weren't paid for their last shifts. haha. According to reports it's actually be "flooded". I don't know if this means that it's going to be drained and re-opened, or if that marks the end of it. The one in barnsley is closed too I think. Again, I'm not 100% sure. So in answer to your question, yes, it's been flooded. But I'm not sure if it's going to reopen or not. Looks pretty shut down to me... Shame cos I thought it was one of our better bars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesufc1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 i had heard that they had no electricity, possibly due to flooding, but that's also 2nd hand info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFC00 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 According to a mate (so again second hand info). They were losing money, and never actually made any profit. Allthough to be honest, everytime I've been past during the day it's seemed quite busy during dinner time etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFunky Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Our band, Grey Cooper Love Party, were due to play there on Tuesday, and it was cancelled because the place HAS shut down. It may re-open soon, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyLaLaLa Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I was in Lloyds next door over this weekend and there was a big white lorry picking up furniture which appeared to be from the Ruby Lounge. It's a bit of a shame as it was nice when it started but seemed to get a bit run down. I think it suffered from being right next door to Crystal, they were both going for the same kind of market and Crystal was always going to win hands down, it really has more than the edge over the Ruby Lounge. If it had been the other side of the city centre or even a few roads away it would probably have worked. I hate to see local businesses shut down, especially if they've had to shut down there other branch too. Running your own business is a tough life.

chriswvtr Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Flooded my ass, strange how two pubs with the same name owned by the same company close at the same time. Do you think they might have gone bankrupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2c4s Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think Ruby and Crystal more fed each other.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
