Late Night fun every Sunday! Service Industry Night

Drop by for ping pong, pool, darts, and drinks! AND HOT DOGS!

RUBA's late night tradition of being the in-the-know late night gathering spot for our neighbors, artists, industry professionals and their friends continues.

PING PONG, POOL, & LOCAL VIBES in our speakeasy cabaret.

MIDNIGHT-3:00am

Wait, so you drink like it's St. Patrick's Day, dress up like it's Halloween, and put on an interactive musical? What is this? It's Purim, of course. Will you celebrate with us?

Every year, A Very Awesome Purim throws a big Purim party and puts on a musical about a drunken king, an evil prime minister, and a queen who saves the entire Jewish population. The production strikes a careful balance of off-color humor, on-key parodies, and surprisingly poignant lessons about cultural acceptance.With your help, we choose a theme—this year: "Beatles"—and translate it into an original musical telling the story of Purim.

This is what you can expect from the night:

An interactive musical featuring parodies of your favorite beatles songs. Drinking! In Purim tradition, you're supposed to drink until you can't tell the difference between the good guy and the bad guy in the story. (It's not difficult) A costume party. Dress to the theme, or any costume will do. A boisterous sing-a-long: : With songs like "Hey Jews" and "While their Shofars Gently Weep" and more audience participation than ever before, this is not a year to miss. The greatest party of the year. We might be biased. Guess you'll have to find out. Purim-mania is coming in March to a theater near you (if you live in Philly...or Brooklyn!) Get ready to scream your lungs out for our Fab Four: John Lennonberg, Paul McCartneywitz, George Harristein, and Ringo Starr of David. Money can't buy you love, but it can definitely buy you a ticket to A Very Beatles Purim.

L'Chaim!

Note: You do not need to be Jewish or know anything about Purim to attend this Purim party. This is a celebration for everyone.

Past themes include Broadway (2018), Disney (2017), One-Hit Wonders (2016), Glam Rock (2015) and 90’s (2014).

Planned Parenthood is America’s most trusted provider of reproductive health care. Our skilled health care professionals are dedicated to offering all people high-quality, affordable medical care. One in five American women has chosen Planned Parenthood for health care at least once in her life.

The heart of Planned Parenthood is in the local community. Our 56 unique, locally governed affiliates nationwide operate more than 600 health centers, which reflect the diverse needs of their communities.

These health centers provide a wide range of safe, reliable health care — and the majority is preventive care, which helps prevent unintended pregnancies through contraception, reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections through testing and treatment, and screen for cervical and other cancers. Caring physicians, nurse practitioners, and other staff take time to talk with clients, encouraging them to ask questions in an environment that millions have grown to trust.

Please join us for the Philadelphia premiere of John Zorn’s “Songs for Petra,” a poetic song cycle written by the iconic composer especially for vocalist Petra Haden.

Petra Haden, vocals Julian Lage, guitar Jesse Harris, guitar Jorge Roeder, bass Kenny Wollesen, drums

“Songs for Petra” combines the music of renowned composer John Zorn with the lyrics of Grammy Award-winning songwriter Jesse Harris, best known for his collaborations with Norah Jones and Madeleine Peyroux. One of the triplet daughters of legendary bassist Charlie Haden and co-founder of the alt-rock quartet That Dog, Petra Haden has collaborated with a broad array of artists including Bill Frisell, the Foo Fighters, the Decemberists and Susannah Hoffs.

In anticipation of his year-long 60th birthday celebration in 2013, Zorn invited Jesse Harris to participate in his “Song Project” along with Mike Patton, Sofía Rei and Sean Lennon; each of these diverse composers was asked to contribute lyrics to Zorn’s compositions. Harris initially worked with Haden on the album Seemed Like A Good Idea - Petra Haden Sings Jesse Harris (Sunnyside) in 2016. Inspired by Haden’s athletic vocal talents (as can be heard on her phenomenal a cappella reworking of The Who Sell Out from 2005), Zorn penned this song cycle to take full advantage of her stunning range. For this performance, Haden will be joined by Harris (on vocals and guitar) along with the Julian Lage Trio. A 2018 Grammy Award nominee, Lage is fast becoming one of the most acclaimed young guitarists in jazz. His latest album, Modern Lore (Mack Avenue) debuted at #1 on the Jazz Billboard chart, and he most recently appeared in Philly alongside fellow guitarist Marvin Sewell as part of saxophonist Charles Lloyd’s quintet.

This is a SPACE for beings to be... to be free from prejudice, free from worry, free from judgement, a place to release, because in one way or another, we’re all TRASH, and it’s absolutely beautiful. I know am I, you know you are, we know we are, but this is a time, and a SPACE, to share that with everyone. For everyone to be recognized, for everyone to be a witness and to be witnessed, because it’s everyones presence that makes this possible. We’re all artists in our own way, and it’s the artistic expression of ourselves that draws each of us together. Regardless of it’s nature visually, sonically, physically, delectably, we’re all in one SPACE, and it’s a kinetic energy. We all share the love of curiosity, the desire to exist, and because of that love, because of that curiosity, we can all exist, respect, and love one another. This is SPACE TRASH. We curate from the plethora of local talent that Philly has, because it is so rich, and it needs to be witnessed. These are the people that know you, and that you know, they’re the ones your standing in lines with, the ones you’re bumping elbows with on the dance floor, the ones who you see time and time again. We do this because in the past Philly has given us so much in the way of the arts and we want to give back to that, as well as keep it rolling, and provide a SPACE for that local talent to be showcased. This our community.
