"The Ruby Fruit is a jubilant, bright pink lesbian bar in a Silver Lake strip mall where the party spills out onto the sidewalk, and even the parking lot, on a nightly basis. You'll find a handful of natural wines on the menu, as well as some excellent bar snacks (get the smoked beets with ricotta and pistachios) that you can graze on at their tiny wrap-around bar or a handful of tables inside. But the real reason to come here is the fun and welcoming scene: the crowd is an eclectic mix of married couples, neighbors, bandmates, and everyone in between." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, kat hong, brett keating
