Ruby Tuesdays — Restaurant in Toronto

The moment I walked in, the bartender gave me a five-minute deadline to order or be kicked out. Not even a full minute later—before I could even look at the menu—she pulled out her phone, started recording me, and accused me of trespassing.I was stunned. I hadn’t done anything but walk in quietly and try to order a drink. Her aggression was instant, unprovoked, and honestly felt racially motivated. I’ve never seen a white customer treated like that.I started recording too, because the situation was that insane. This wasn’t just bad service—it was targeted, dehumanizing, and straight-up hostile.If you’re a person of color, avoid this place. It’s not safe.This place is a joke — and a filthy one at that.The second I walked in, the bartender told me I had five minutes to order or I’d be kicked out. Before I could even glance at the menu, she pulled out her phone, started recording me, and claimed I was “trespassing.” In a public bar. That I just walked into.It wasn’t just aggressive — it was targeted. There’s no doubt in my mind this was racially motivated. I was calm, quiet, and polite — the only thing that set me apart was being Black. She clearly saw me as a problem before I even spoke.Oh — and let’s not forget the smell. The place reeks like piss and garbage. Sticky floors, bad energy, and a bartender with the attitude of someone who shouldn’t be around people at all.If this is how this place treats its customers, especially Black women, it doesn’t deserve to be in business. I’ve got video proof, and I’m not staying silent: AVOID THIS DUMP...

My kids still talk about when I took them here for dinner and some free pool but not in a good way. We won’t be back. Pool was fun but the 2 of the 3 dishes we had were terrible (dumplings were straight from a frozen bag, ribs were lathered with a ketchup bbq sauce but meat had a strange smell/taste and wings were mediocre). Owner simply chose to defend it all when I paid the bill. Kids did almost finish the tiny overpriced portion of ribs and dumplings but we did not order anything more and chose to leave quickly. Owner did not even care to hear any feedback as shown here.

Update - this is the first time I had ever not tipped at a bar or restaurant, but simply due to poor food quality, and very defiant owner who as you see denies or does not...

I discovered this place about a week ago and I have been coming here every day since then! The owner, Claire, is so sweet and she genuinely makes the most incredible, delicious food.

We've ordered...Szechuan Chicken, BBQ Skewers, Chicken Fingers, Onion Rings, Spring Rolls and it's seriously some of the BEST tasting food I've had. The prices are so good that you end up ordering the whole menu (not a bad thing).

At Ruby Tuesdays you get cheap beer, good vibes and amazing...
