Ruins is rooted deep in Latin culture. With original artwork hanging on the wall, an exquisite menu of authentic Latin American dishes and the longest list of tequilas and mezcals we’ve ever seen, Ruins is a great place to meet up with friends for some adventurous bites and libations.
Take the La Flor No Se Marchita (the flower that doesn't wither), which Ruins recently explained on their instagram. It's made with Xtabentun, a Michoacán style tepache. The drink tells the story of two sisters, one a sinner the other pure; the former dies and from her burial ground flowers grew. Xtabentun is fermented honey from those flowers flavored with anise. The legend here, however, is the sinner who died was actually pure of heart, but just wasn't interested in dispelling the rumors.
That's how Ruins crafts a drink.
Ruins also offers a little music venue in the back called The Limbo Room. Small though it may be, the bar has gone to great lengths to ensure that patrons get a full VIP experience with close proximity to the band and world class lighting and sound.
