It's stylish without being pretentious, and the space just feels good to hang out in. The drinks are really well made, balanced, interesting, and clearly crafted by bartenders who know what they're doing. The crowd is always chill, too. It has that neighborhood-but-still-trendy energy where you feel comfortable right away. They've got small bites if you want something to snack on, and there's a really fun back room that almost feels like a hidden little lounge. And I have to mention the bathroom because... it's definitely interestingly decorated. Unique in the best, quirkiest way. Overall, Ruth's is an easy favorite for a casual night out with friends, a date, or just grabbing a great drink in a beautifully put-together space. A real Flatbush gem.

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!

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 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.
