What can I say about this place that hasn’t been said about the 90-91 Chicago bulls.
Tenacious, attitude, dysfunctional third man, Croatian sharp shooter, exceptional all around.
They scared me bad with a fireball though. Nearly took my husbands Jerry curl off his noggin.

After a dinner elsewhere we passed this place and went in. No real "theme" or identifiable ambiance to be noticed st all. But service and drinks were as expected. Not sure if we'd return but....

Super cute Christmas pop-up! It was my first time here and we only came in for a beer, but it was really fun. I'll definitely be back.

The Ruin's season's drinking Christmas pop-up is amazing! We came for the Christmas atmosphere but absolutely loved it. The entire bar was decked out, and the details were carefully crafted to create the most picturesque and memorable place for perfect pictures. The bar had a bit of an island vibe when it came to music and bartender attire.
We had expected Christmas music to be playing but it wasn't while we were there. They had a Christmas menu, and all the drinks were around $13, which is definitely pricer than expected, but once we got the drinks, it was relatively reasonable because you could definitely taste the alcohol. It was busy but still very enjoyable, and we were able to find a seat within a few minutes of arriving. We loved the vibe.

The RUIN downtown hosted a private event for us. The entire experience, from planning to hosting the even and closing out the night was extremely positive. Amy's communication and planning expertise was really helpful. During the event Stefan made everything run smoothly, welcoming guests, confirming our drink offerings, and working with the staff to make sure we were having a great experience. Thank you RUIN!
This is a really cool cocktail bar but sadly our experience was ruined by an extremely disrespectful server. One of the worst service experiences I’ve ever had. Since we sat down the guy was a jerk. A person in our party didn’t like her drink and he grilled her with uncomfortable questions instead of offering to remake or comp the drink. Really disappointing especially with the prices of the drinks.

I was waking down the street and passed by this bar. Turned around and went inside. So glad I did. This place is so quaint, upscale and cute! I just had some snacks, they were perfect. Had a few drinks, even more perfect! The bartenders were so friendly and great to chat with!

Perfect spot to grab a drink before catching a flight. Great old fashioned ?
