This could be solved by changing a RubyMine registry entry:

  • Search "registry" within the "Actions" search
    • press ctrl + alt + n > click on Actions > type registry > click on Registry...
  • Scroll down to linux.native.menu and disable the checkbox

After rebooting RubyMine, you'll have gotten the menu bar back.
