C-Street Cancels Longstanding Tradition
January 14, 2003

It's official, and even moreso, unfortunate. As of January 13, 2003 Chester Street Bar will no longer be serving the gothic/industrial crowd. Ruby's will, however, continue the legacy with the usual dark dance goodness hosted by Bob Murphy every Monday night.

Ruby's is located at 207 West Clark Street -- that is, one block south of University Avenue, right behind the Bank One parking lot. Just look for the remodeled house with lots of pink.
