Ruby’s Coney Island

It’s Ruby’s at Coney Island! – where you can still “Walk under the Boardwalk.”Reclaimed boardwalk wood literally demolished from just outside the bar was reclaimed, re-milled for construction of wainscoting, bar tops, bathroom ceiling and a suspended boardwalk ceiling. The wood used on the bar front was left weathered and installed in a V-pattern for an authentic boardwalk look, while the bar top was re-milled revealing a golden-brown sheen of the original Brazilian ipe wood.Although the bar & kitchen were rebuilt from scratch to function more efficiently the layout and feel of the bar is much the same with old photos of Coney Island haphazardly displayed on the walls. Original hand-painted signage was salvaged & re-stored along the boardwalk frontage along with a new storefront and illuminated signage. The bathrooms were completely rebuilt & enlarged and utilize a durable marmoleum & cement board for the walls and boardwalk planks on the ceiling.
