Divey, cozy, hipster feel here. Fantastic old-school hip hop playing. Handsome waiters/bartenders…read more Mare Basil Bramble - sour on top, sweet on bottom - mix it together and it's totally awesome! (Thank you, I'm here all week...literally) Delicious drink. Blueberry bramble -delicious as well...more of a stricter taste on top with this one. Rucadillas - delicious! The cheese combinations blend well with the pork. Simple flavors, no frills, tasty. Still not completely clear on the currency conversion, so not sure if I'm paying a little or a lot, but I'm getting very tipsy, so it doesn't matter, at this point...nothing really matters..

Last night I had the chance to visit Ruca Bar, and my overall impression is a good one…read more Probably the aspect that I value the most about this place is their value proposition based on sharing. From the way tables are arranged to how the menu is structures, sharing and communion are clearly the core concepts defining the spirit of this place. Regarding their food, I tend to agree with what others comment about this place. There is way too much focus on fried food-I would not consider their menu attractive for someone looking for healthy options around this trendy area of Santiago. I had the fish tacos and they were really really good. However, I do not hold the same opinion about the boletus croquetas. The croquetas were bland and lacked and boring (truly nothing exciting about them)... I would definitely recommend the tacos, but croquetas are a waste of money and time. Cocktails in general, and gin in particular, are supposed to be their distinctive feature with the rest of pubs/bars in the area. I was not impressed with the variety of Gin they hold. My personal impression is that they are not running any kind of risk when it comes to selecting some labels over others and that they are not open to consider some really good ones (for example: G-vine). Because it was hard for me see their expertise in a menu where Gin Mare is expected to shine, I decided to try some cocktails. I ordered a negroni and it was OK, nothing memorable about it. I also tried the Gin Yang, which I had to the send back because I prefered to avoid an instant visit to the doctor. The level of sweetness was simply overwhelming... In general this place is ok, but I would probably think twice before coming back. I really enjoyed the sharing-based value proposition but I do feel that they are not capable to meet the expectations proposed in their menu.
