Coney Island Bar Ruby's Shuttered Again!

Coney Island Bar Ruby's Shuttered Again!
Chris Shott

The Health Department has shuttered venerable Ruby's Bar & Grill on the Coney Island boardwalk following a bizarre incident on Saturday, which I reported in this week's Observer.

A cop on the scene summed it up thusly: “One guy was taking a leak, the floor partially collapsed, and he fell 10 feet.”

Police closed down the bar soon after the accident on Saturday. It reopened Sunday. Then the health inspector closed it down again yesterday, according to a well-placed source on the boardwalk.

Ruby's is heaven on earth.Best bar and grill in America.Save Rubys and all small businesses in Coney,they are gold,and their existence will help any future development there.This is not nostalgia,it is cold economic fact,and important to heed in these tough times.Besides being economic gold machines,Ruby's,The Grill House,The Gyro Corner,Cha Cha's,Etc.,these are great places to patronize and look at.Build around them,do not destroy.
