The new look Ruby Rabbit on Oxford Street is inspired by American truck stop diners, old-school saloons, the lairs of James Bond villains and classic Sydney shabby chic.
Opening soon onto Oxford Street (owner Paul Schell reckons it'll be up and running sometime this month) is the Big Red Diner, a den jammed with booth seating, a 50s-countertop bar and a battered old jukebox in the corner. The vibe here is Jack Rabbit Slims-meets-Barons, hot dogs and shots of tequila dispensed until 3am.
A series of smaller spaces break off the Diner. The Houndstooth Room is decked out in warm caramels and bordello reds, oozing a Mad Men-esque style that demands single malt liquors and cocktails stirred through with character. Beyond lies the Ryeball Room, not yet opened to the public and hidden to all eyes but those of members and their guests. This space is a haven of sunken lounges, velveteen grooves and bespoke bar service accessed by - wait for it - a fingerprint scanner at the door.
