Ruby’s Wine Shop is one of a growing list of wine store-bar hybrids across Brisbane where you can buy a bottle to take home or drink in.

It launched with around 100 bottles, all sourced from small producers committed to minimal intervention winemaking. A rotating selection of six to eight bottles will always be open for tasting.

While Ruby’s Wine Shop doesn’t have a food license, you can order from the Turkish restaurant next door or even bring your own food.

The space is warm and inviting. A long timber table, polished floorboards, shelves lined with bottles, and a rust-coloured feature wall gives it a relaxed, lived-in feel. But by far the best feature of the space is Ruby, owner Tamara Husler’s border collie, who freely roams the space.
