Full bar; hookah available. I had a strawberry margarita and rum punch which were good. My date also ordered the calamari which was well seasoned and fried. I wished they had marinara or Terriyaki sauce to go with it. But I enjoyed it! The rum punch is punching! I would definitely reccomend this spot for lunch, dinner,. and vibez.

This place is a hidden gem that I would definitely be going back to…read more Food: 5/5: we really enjoyed our food i highly recommend the stuffed chicken it was packed with flavor and had enough of a serving size for leftovers which is always my favorite. The only thing is that it took a long time to come which isnt always an awful thing because it usually means fresh but stomachs were growling. Drinks 4:5: the drinks were pretty good nothing to complain about wasnt too strong but I wasnt looking for a strong drink anyway, seems like they have a good week day happy hour before 7pm Service: 4/5 the bartender was really nice and was patient with our questions it would be a 5/5 if again the food wouldnt have taken so long Ambiance: very cute place for friends, date night or if you just want to vibe out in a Friday. The later you stay the more the party starts it seems.

I put it in my back pocket as a place I might go in the future. I was recently walking in the area when I noticed a sign saying it was open for coffee. Of course I went to check it out. At the main counter, they serve the classics (mocha, latte, chai, matcha) plus a few specials. My cookie butter matcha (with oat and flavored syrup) was less than 6 dollars. It wasn't my favorite matcha, it was a pretty good deal in comparison to other cafes in the area. They have a coffee club where you pay $40 a month for free drinks (coffee or tea based), 10% of items like cocktails, food and wine. Plus you are able to use their wifi in their space which has a funky plush aesthetic. Definitely good for people who need a place to work. It is an interesting way of using this space in the morning. Of course I was told about their happy hour and the jazz Mondays. I would come back to attend that.

Wow - what a great little spot!!!…read more Ruth is not on the beaten path for me, but I was heading down to King's Theatre for a concert and looking for a nice bar for pre-gaming. And, guess what? Ruth was just what the doctor ordered. So how would I describe Ruth? It's a cross between a speakeasy and a trendy neighborhood bar... and they serve up some tasty drinks and snacks!!! The interior is cozy with a number of arranged seating areas so parties of folks can gather together. The bar area has stool seating where you can watch the bartender make drinks... and there's even a separate back room area that looks like it could be rented out for private events. As for bartenders and staff, they are all awesome!!! Final thoughts = if you are nearby and ready for a nice drink, hit up Ruth. You'll be happy you did!

I was here with a group and managed to get seated, but could have been tough standing. Definitely speak up with your order! They got some solid variety with their cocktails and wine!

There is a bar and a larger central table with seats as well as countertops along the walls, so options are there.

We were aiming for a vegan shared dinner, so we went for two mushroom corn tacos and a shared plate of nachos- no cheese/dairy/meat/egg. The nachos were pleasantly surprising. Thick crunchy corn chips that can handle a lot of toppings. The avocado sauce was a tasty flavorful replacement for not having cheese, the purple cabbage looked raw but was lightly pickled and added a nice tangy punch over the black beans and pico de gallo. The mushroom tacos were marinated or sautéed in seasoning and served in a warm corn soft shell - street taco size - with a spicy green tomatillo style salsa and lime wedge, Nice selection of craft beer on draft like Founders and Coney Island, along with the expected Modelo. The classic margarita was served in a rocks glass and I went for a Tajin rim to spice it up. Everything was great and I wouldn't hesitate to come back with friends!

It's a great place to catch up with friends, with a solid beer selection and surprisingly good cocktails. The jukebox and pinball machines add to the charm and keep things fun.

Music was good... eclectic and perfect for a Tuesday night out with the bestie. We sat at the bar... had a couple drinks and were given a number of shooters on the house (since it was ladies night). Each one was better than the next and we were sampling Julia's tequila which was surprisingly smooth and flavorful... bartender was sweet and friendly and tasted her drinks as she went... a sign of a great bartender. We didn't stay too long but wouldn't hesitate returning for a different vibe on a different night. If you're nearby make sure to stop in!

We loved the vibe and the cocktails were all incredible. Great selection. Most are $15-$16 (there's a small discount for cash) and everything we tried was very well balanced. There are quite a few tables and the bar is long, so I assume most nights it's easy to find a spot. It's definitely a great date spot and good for groups too. There's even a larger table near the entrance that could probably fit 8-10 people.

This time I was surprised to find out that they have a backyard filled with dangling lights, ceiling protectors, and plants. The interior is really nice as well with perfect sepia mood lighting. In the past, they've had live jazz and it is the perfect venue. Definitely date night vibes, but no requirements to dress up. I had the cutest cocktail and they even gave me the overflow in a smaller glass. Presentation- adorable. The guacamole was decent, no complaints or anything to rave about. I was just happy that the medium had a little kick to it. And the server was super nice. Constantly checked in and complimented us. She looked genuinely happy to be there.

It took over 45 min to get appetizers and the food closely followed. Deviled eggs- highly anticipated... didn't deliver much. The eggs were vinegary and dry. Wings- were the best part of the meal. Well done. Not much in terms of flavor though Salmon Cakes- mushy Sliders - Okay Drinks: -Stolen Moments, would not recommend. Watery -Cantaloupe Island tasty and fruity tastes stronger than the more expensive drink Ambiance- older crowd 55+. Appeared as though they were getting ready for an event that evening (maybe jazz). Overall, I'd have to hear of a better experience for me to try it out again.

We had a beautiful feast. We finished it off with IceCream soaked in Bailey's and some awesome after brunch shots. If you are a foody you would love this spot. The mac and cheese stood out it had chunks of bacon which brought out a different flavor.
