Ruby Lounge

Horrible food. A sad excuse for a lounge and bar. Stay away. My steak was overlooked and I noticed guests continuing to ask the bar tender if there were certain drinks and he kept saying «We don’t have that alcohol here». Shut this place down.

I went to the Aldo’s event and it was really interesting. Music was pretty good and I had a great time with my friends. nothing special to rave about because I only had water but it’s a pretty big and spacious place definitely great for an event. I would return in the future.

Stayed at Holiday Inn last night, we were attending a christening party at Nicola’s Restaurant down the road, the party ended at around 7pm, so I decided to go back to the hotel, and head right to The Ruby Lounge… OMG they stripped Doc’s completely and it’s now just a sad, empty bar, with a section for restaurant seating… I was back in my hotel room, and watching tv in bed by 7:45pm, $ 11 for a shot of fireball and a small glass of coke scared me away because I was paying $ 12 for a great Casamigos tequila mixed cocktail down the road at Uncorked… I’ll just remember the good times when this place was Doc’s with crazy people having fun

There’s a $ 10 fee to get into this resurrected Bennigan’s. The bar tender was a sweet young lady, and was worth the tip. The food was very peppery. I could barely taste my burger and fries. This place morphed into a «club» around 10p. Once we heard the music– rap, baby making music– and saw the type of people coming in, my friend and I escaped to 46 Lounge across the highway. It seems the hood rats of Paterson take over this place Saturday nights. I only gave 2 stars because of the bar tender– her attitude and excellent drinks.

If you are staying at the Holiday Inn, don’t bother ordering room service from the lounge. Took them about 5 minutes on the phone to get my very simple order right and it was still completely screwed up. One cheesecake, one brownie, two bottled waters. I never got the water (which I was charged for) and the brownie was a complete mess. They must have put the ice cream on before heating it, because it was like soup. The brownie itself was hard as a rock. Also, though the desserts were served on ceramic dishes, the only utensils provided were flimsy plastic spoons, which literally couldn’t put a dent in the stale brownie. Wound up trashing the whole thing.
One piece of advice for any adventurous souls who choose not to heed my warnings: if you do order room service, be aware that a 20% gratuity is already tacked onto the bill. I was not and wound up providing my customary 20% on top of it. They must have had a good laugh about that, considering how terrible everything was.

Terrible. Rude, unprofessional staff. Overpriced.
We called to see how much it was to get in and we were told the wrong amount. When we got to the door they didn’t honor the wrong price and weren’t apologetic at all. They were actually incredibly rude to us about it.
$ 20 cover in my opinion is a bit overpriced for a bar next to a Holiday Inn in Totowa NJ.
There was also group of people behind us that had the same experience where they were told the wrong price over the phone and the staff of the hotel and the lounge were just as rude to them. In my opinion, if you’re running a business and you screw up your information, you honor it.
If they had been more accommodating, even apologetic about their screw up. Maybe $ 5 off or a free drink. Or even, I’m sorry. I would have definitely have gone back there or even had paid the full $ 20, but, since they were complete jerks about it and completely dismissed us, I won’t go back and I won’t recommend it to anyone. I live in the area and I’m always looking for a new place for my friends and I to go. Oh, Well.
I was also there not too long ago on a Saturday night and it was dead there, about 3 people total at the bar. We paid $ 10 to get in at 11:00 ish. We turned around to leave and asked for our money back and they wouldn’t give it back. We were there a total of 1 minute.
All in all, two really bad experiences there. The staff is awful and it’s a dead place. Unfortunately, I have to give at least one star to post this. Otherwise, I’d give it a zero.
Really disappointing.

I love this place on Saturday nights. Live DJ, the look is modern & sexy
