St. Pete\u2019s eclectic culture is full of delights hiding in every corner, and Ruby\u2019s Elixir is a gem hiding in plain sight in the heart of St. Pete\u2019s Central Ave. Every Thursday night, Ruby\u2019s Elixir hosts live jazz from 6:30 pm to 2:00 am, accommodating both the early birds and the cool cats who like to stay late into the night.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at 10:00 pm, jazz lovers can catch Hiram Hazley + Le Jazz Band for an evening of unforgettable music, dancing, and drinks. As a Tampa native, I will always make the trek to Ruby\u2019s to enjoy a G+T, a cigar, a little conversation, and to listen to some scintillating jazz.

Everyone is welcome on Thursday night, just make sure to bring your dancing shoes.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"An espresso martini and cigar at Ruby's Elixir in St. Pete\" class=\"wp-image-198889\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/574927374_1316254667210456_8632893251524717860_n-819x1024.jpeg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/574927374_1316254667210456_8632893251524717860_n-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"An espresso martini and cigar at Ruby's Elixir in St. Pete\" class=\"wp-image-198889\"\/>Photo via Ruby\u2019s Elixir<\/p>\n<p>Delectable drinks, delicious cigars, and delightful music<\/p>\n<p>Ruby\u2019s Elixir is more than just a jazz club on Thursday nights.
