Beneath the now-defunct Bull & Bear Hotel on King William Street a new bar, Jack Ruby Bar & Diner is taking shape and has opened at the start of April. According to bar manager Joshua Dolman (ex-Sangria), the bar is “named after the nightclub owner who famously shot down Lee Harvey-Oswald before he could be put on trial for the assassination of JFK.”
Owned by head chef Sam Worrall-Thompson and Aaron Sandow (whose company, General Admission Entertainment runs the bars at major festivals in Adelaide), the bar will feature a good whack of American-style food, said Dolman. “It’s based on an American style diner, specialising in soul food, good booze and live music,” he said.
