Ruin Bar

Food & Drink: We visited Ruin Bar for a nightcap..they were both bold, creative & full of character. The presentation was fun & the flavors layered, making each sip into a little adventure. I loved the detail behind each drink. Service: The bartenders were friendly & welcoming despite the crowd. They made sure orders were correct & helped guide us through the menu when we asked. Ambiance & Vibe: Ruin Bar is eclectic, quirky & moody in the best way. It feels like stepping into a vintage curiosity shop with artsy touches, hidden corners & unusual décor. The indoor-outdoor setup at The LAB adds to the charm. It’s definitely atmospheric. There was a line around 10pm even on a weekday, & seating is limited, so it can feel energetic and a bit chaotic—but that’s part of its appeal. You order at the bar, grab your cocktail, & then find a spot or stand. Value & Price Point: For craft cocktails in a unique space, the price felt reasonable. Given the vibe, creativity & attention to detail, it felt like you’re paying for the whole experience, not just a drink. Overall Impression & Tips: Ruin Bar is a must for anyone who loves a drink with personality. Come with patience (there might be a wait), get there early if you want a seat, & be ready to enjoy somewhere that feels more like a hidden world than just a bar.

Great music everything from alternative techno to hip-hop Reggaeton the vibe was great. Very relaxing. Music was loud enough to where you can speak and not have to speak loud in the drinks created were amazing.

The Ruin Bar is small. The drink menu is unique and the decor is pretty cool. This is not a place for large groups and the drinks do take a bit of time to make. We came here midweek and we were pretty much the only people in the place, but that was fine with us. We had some really nice cocktails and took some super social media worthy photos. Overall this is a nice spot for some day drinking and there are some nice food options at The Lab as well.

Ordered an ESTOY ENAMORADO 18 at Ruin Bar—one sip in, and the sweetness of pineapple, the smoky depth of mezcal, and the subtle heat of chile liqueur blended seamlessly with the smoothness of lemon and coconut cream. It felt like a little tropical adventure in a glass. And the aftertaste? Like a gentle tap on the shoulder from the Mexican breeze, leaving behind a quiet kiss. 🌵🍍🔥 #RuinBar #SlightlyTipsy #OneSipWonder

Went here on a night out bar hopping with a group of friends. Bartenders were rude right off the bat. Ordered a couple drinks and was given one drink and one water (sure, I could’ve used that water) but they proceeded to charge full price for both drinks. Paid $22 for a glass of ice water from bartenders who have no problem scamming people they know are drunk.

Such a unique bar with some really amazing drinks. They did such a great job designing the space and made every seat an intimate spot. One of the tables is even in an old cable car. We had a great time here.

Staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The vibes at Ruin are super hip and relaxing with the coolest vintage decor that works! Menu is constantly being updated with fun new drinks - get there early for a seat! Parking in the front or the the back works well. Bartender JC is rad - will make you a custom cocktail!
