Just had a great treat Ruby Tap Mequon location. Owners were friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We ordered the cheese tray and it was great. The wines on tap are plentiful despite the fact we just order a bottle and paid the minimal $ 10 corking fee. The men also had a couple good beers on tap. Overall great place for a early happy hour or a nightcap.

The folks that opened The Ruby Tap of Wauwatosa have spun their magic again, this time in Mequon. Like the original, The Ruby Tap offers bottle wines on tap ranging from light whites to bold reds. I’d say there are roughly twenty wines available on the tap system. And in case nothing in the bottle cooler piques your interest, there are another six on tap at the bar: three whites and three reds. A few things are notably different than the Wauwatosa Ruby Tap: there is beer on tap, two of them with a rotating selection; flat bread pizzas are available; and there is a cocktail on tap. Yep, that’s right… a cocktail on tap!(File this under«The Last Thing I Should Ever have in My House») In addition to the flat breads, the same selection of fine cheeses and charcuterie is available. And lest you worry that you’ll miss the big game, fear not, there is an HDTV behind the bar and there are more seats at the bar than the original, so if you plan ahead, you can assure yourself a seat.(The Ruby Tap should not be confused as a sports bar – the TV is normally off – but most big Wisconsin sports teams games are televised. It’s where we watched the Bucks knock off the 24 – 0 Golden State Warriors!) If you like the original, you’ll love the new Ruby Tap. And if you’re a Mequoner who’s never been to either, lucky you… you now have your very own comfortable-as-home wine bar! Cheers to that!
