The place looks awesome and thats where the business put all their money. 18% gratuity for every show. (No need to tip here) cold food with liquid salsa that has as much flavor as it is thick. Waitress was nice to take off my cold taco off my bill. I hope the 30 dollars I paid for my ticket goes to the bands and not the house.

I super appreciate this place. As a mixologist in Dallas, the standards are high for a cocktail bar and this place nails their cocktails every time. Every single person who works there is a master of their craft and i have never had a cocktail I didn’t like which is not what I can say about many places. Their drinks are always perfectly crafted and the bartenders always have a great attitude. 10/10 would recommend this place as one of the best cocktail bars in Dallas. I have yet to have the food but I bet it’s delicious. The blond guy bartender who wears the bucket hat sometimes makes the perfect gimlet but then all the mixologists there are amazing. They will autograt on weekend nights and make sure you tip extra bc they sure deserve it.

Ruins is a little gem, a cool space where music feels alive. Great sound, great energy, and the perfect spot to catch a raw, unforgettable show.

Ruins is a chic, modern restaurant often praised for its creative menu and upscale yet relaxed ambiance. It typically features a mix of contemporary American or fusion cuisine, with carefully crafted dishes that focus on presentation and flavor. The atmosphere is stylish and trendy, making it suitable for date nights, special occasions, or social gatherings. Service is usually attentive, and many guests enjoy the thoughtfully curated cocktails and dessert options. Overall, Ruins is ideal for those looking for a refined dining experience with a modern twist.

What happened to the old menu??? You guys turned a dope foodie heaven into an average taco stand with expensive drinks. I drove over an hour with a friend, describing the place and reading from the apparently old menu that read like an epic poem, only to find a dismal greeting card sized soiled remnant of what I at first thought was the bar only menu. The place was obnoxiously loud and the service was extremely short. One extra star on the service because we actually didn’t have to wait. One lame drink and out. Too many choices in the area to be mediocre.
Great hangout with excellent cocktails. Tequila and mezcal are specialties!!

Ruins what a funny name for a place that literally ruined my night…. I have personal medical issues that I have to stay hydrated and have water with specific minerals… which is why I brought my own water to a show there. I told the bouncer I have medical issues and he refused to let me in with it. The hostess stand kept it for me. But when i returned it was thrown out. Then I tried to leave the bar with a cup of water I was provided there because it was 100 degrees out and another bouncer told me I couldn’t that was illegal. Well ya know what…. It’s actually illegal to discriminate and not allow a reasonable exemption for something with a health issue that has been disclosed. So pissed off and ended my night early so I could get proper hydration as there is not many ways to in the area. Learn the law, next time you discriminate you could be sued.

AMAZING cocktails, really good tacos, and a really laid back atmosphere. Go to spot for late night tacos after shows in deep ellum. There bartenders really know what they’re doing!
