Rubis

Tangier


Rubis would just be your average smoky bar if not for local legend Jimmy (real name Mohammed), a singer and guitarist who brings down the house nightly with his raspy voice and jazzy riffs. Free tapas of paella, potato salad, sardines and more are served with every drink. A full menu is available if the tapas don't fill you up.
