"The Ruby Fruit is a tiny wine bar/queer space in Silver Lake that pulls in big crowds on a nightly basis. That means if you show up after 7pm, there’s a decent chance you’ll be drinking outside on the sidewalk. Don’t feel too dejected though, that’s where the heart of the party is anyway. You’ll spot first dates, married dates, neighbors, bandmates, and other people promoting their podcasts. Everyone’s drinking natural wine and beer (they serve non-alcoholic versions as well), hanging out, and snacking on the occasional hotdog when the munchies hit. " - brant cox
