This place was just okay. The waffle fries were amazing and the host was incredibly nice, but the bartender was kind of rude and pretty inaccessible. It got pretty packed in the place while we were there and the bartender seemed completely unaware of people waiting nearly 10 minutes just to close tabs.

The chicken sandwich and waffle fries are really good. The drinks are expensive but standard for the neighborhood. Don’t expect 5 star service if you are going at peak hours, it’s gets busy and the place is usually minimally staffed. If you go in knowing that, then you’ll have a good time. More

Cosy restaurant with nice bar and great cocktails! Most of the food, as well as the Bloody Mary, is hot from chili! Live music and lovely crowd in this little Soho gem! Do not miss the buttermilk chicken waffles, but ask for the sauce on the side, as it's hot and makes the waffles soggy.

Truly a 5 star bar in the heart of NoLita! The food is mouthwateringly good and the drinks have great ingredients for a great price. The staff is so nice and helpful! The music and the vibes were good! Can't rave about this place enough. Everyone has to try mothers ruin! More

Great bar! We had excellent cocktails (French 75 and Dog Days which was an amazing rye, pear and cinnamon concoction). Bartenders are clearly pros. Great vibe, chill and no attitude. Busy but not packed and we scored a great seat by the window. Loved it. More

Met my friend here to catch up because I had this place saved in my phone to try out for weeks. Alright so it is a walk-to-bar for anything service related which was different for me but I didn't mind. Next, the bartenders were super

We stopped in for pre-dinner drinks right around 6:15pm on a Thursday. It was crowded, with a birthday group and what looked like some work happy hour groups. It’s a little tough with only one bartender for a crowded bar, but we managed to

Standard bar serving brunch as well. Wheelchair accessible entrance. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I would recommend this restaurant &bar if you are in the area and would like to try a nice place to drink. Bulleit Rye was

Awesome food, service, and atmosphere in an otherwise snooty neighborhood! My friend and I came here last week after the expensive restaurant we had planned to go to closed almost two hours early, and it was the BEST THING THAT COULD HAVE

Great neighborhood bar. They make solid cocktails and rotate the menu sometimes. Can get very crowded on the weekends but also sometimes quiet during the week. They’re open during the day and it’s a nice spot to relax and grab a drink and

Music is bumping . Whiskey Sour is absolutely Sour. The merch is giving. Very happy to be here . Thier kitchen closes at a late time. It such an amazing vibe. Very excited to come back here in the daytime . Blessed to be here the

Stumbled across this drinking fountain. Nolan the bartender was o so welcoming. Service was fun and exciting. Great choice of drinks from beers to cocktails. Nolan let us try a pickled back. Whisky and pickled juice been from Scotland I

Had an experience here that can only be described as bizarre. Upon entering the bar as a group of 10 girls, we were screamed at by the bartender that "no Santa's are allowed!" We had not come from Santacon and were not wearing any Santa

Mother's Ruin is a great little neighborhood bar. Cocktails are well crafted and deliciously thought out. The staff is great and you will have a well cared for experience. The food is perfect. Great options with one of the better

Had a great experience thanks to a super friendly and attentive waitress! Was able to be seated and serviced almost right away on a Saturday night. The outdoor set up was pretty good. The drinks we tried were very good!

Great cocktails (solid French 75), fun slightly older vibe than some of the area (thankfully) & surprisingly delish wine on tap. Didn't try the food but absolutely would next time (french onion grilled cheese whuuuut).

“My ruin.” Kolsch on tap and wings. Great bartenders. Always busy, and lots of service industry people, with you usually basic girls. Always had a good time here! One of the best bars in the city! More

A very cool place in lower Manhatten. Tasty, decently priced cocktails (I recommend anything that involves spice) and a lovely, rustic interior. Great vibes and nice staff as well. More

Do not go to Mothers Ruin! Not a safe space! People I know got jumped coming out of the restroom for no reason- the staff did nothing!!! Turned a blind eye! Not safe. Bad Energy! More

Nice local find located in the midst of Little Italy and Chinatown. Really friendly bartenders and great atmosphere for a chilled drink. Generous pours. Definitely will be back!

Hands down my favorite cocktail bar of all time in NYC. The most delicious & creative cocktails in a warm comfy atmosphere. Their slushies change daily & are the BEST. More

Pros: Great spot! We ended up here by chance after trying to get a table down the street at Loreley. Glad we did because this had a cozy vibe (when we first arrived).

Some nice draft beers (I loved the bronx no resolutions). Very good music. Good acoustics. (At the time of this review it was 2pm and there were only two tables)

Drinks were good, but we’re about 1-2 dollars over priced. The atmosphere was good and the bartenders were cool. More

This bar is lit! Great atmosphere and ambience. Great cocktail menu with unique drinks you're just gonna have to try!

Had several cocktails. All very citric and fresh. Recommending Spaa Waw-tuh. Nice done! Relaxed american environment.

Definitely worth a visit or 10 when in the area. Solid bar with some great drinks - try a fully loaded Tecate! More

Nice spot for cocktails! They have nice selections and creative drinks that’s fun to try. Nice service as well.

Stumble upon this spot….Drinks and food were decent. Bartenders were good and know what they’re doing. More

Visited on Sep 19 2021. Went during the day so it was a bit less crowded, but everything was good.
