If it wasn’t for my sis visiting and surprising me with tickets to see Dear Silas, I wouldn’t have even know about Ruins. (This location is in deep ellum, so get there early to get a parking spot or be prepared to walk. After checking to see where we were going, I was like let me see what the vibes are at the Ruins. MAN THEY ARE A COCKTAIL BARS, FOOD, AND LIVE MUSIC VENUE ? ONE STOP SHOP! You get to eat eat, drink, and dancy dance in the limbo room or pick any place to sit for service. It has the perfect atmosphere for all music. Big enough to dance and small enough to get a great vibe going. Staff is amazing and attentive, also there’s a bar in back so you won’t miss any performances.The fo...
This is a charming little place (and I emphasize "little" – it’s quite a small venue) located in the Deep Ellum area. I visited in late June 2022. There’s a nice patio right outside the main entrance, and the overall atmosphere is enjoyable. However, while the food was decent, it was definitely overrated. The drink options, which seemed heavily promoted on their website, were also disappointing and not worth the hype. I was glad to catch a live show and spend some time with the bands, and it’s definitely worth the visit to support your favorite artists if they're performing. However, I recommend saving your money on food and drinks and heading across the street to Angry Dog or any of the oth...
The decor in this place is wild. If ever there's a moment of silence in your group, look at the decor and the conversation erupts all over again. Dark and a bit tripy in all the right ways of course. The cocktail menu is very innovative, so be daring and try new things...... says the guy who got a Tito's, water and a splash of cranberry. I have had multiple cocktails on the list and I haven't sent one back. Or waiter was very attentive and kept an eye on us, paced everything very well so we didn't feel rushed. The Elotes tasted great, however, I could have done without the stale Cheetos toppings. As for the taco, let's just say, my plate was left clean. Finger licking good. I'll be back, I h...
We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night and were very pleased with our experience! The menu offers a great variety of food and drink options. We ordered the al pastor tacos, chicken tinga, and carnitas tacos, all of which were expertly seasoned and delicious. The corn elotes were among the best I've had in Dallas. Their drinks, especially the mezcal-based ones, were excellent! The service was prompt, and the staff were courteous and attentive to our needs. The ambiance of the restaurant is unique and refreshing for the area. I highly recommend this place! We’re already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of their menu. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Went here for a Sunday afternoon DJ show. They have two bars. This place has a cool vibe and a cool patio area. Unfortunately, I ordered a drink at the back bar and I used a credit card to hold my tab. I told the bartender I would pay cash at the end. The back bar was busy, so I decided to go to the front bar and buy drinks using cash. At the end of the show, I went to the back bar and closed my tab with cash. The next day, my credit card was charged WITH an 18% gratitity extra charge. Now, I have to call my credit card company and dispute it.Cool place, but watch your bar tabs and make sure they are correct.
Went here late at night with a friend during the middle of the week, after an event. Was seated quickly since there wasn't much of a crowd. We both ordered tacos, my friend had the Birria tacos which she stated they weren't the best ones that they were just okay but I on the other hand LOVED the Shrimp and Chorizo the Al Pasto. The Al Pastor reminded me of my favorite taco place in Houston. ON POINT. The drinks were great too. Definitely going back. Would give 5 stars but the decor is not my style, seemed a little too demonic and wild for me.GREAT TACOS THOUGH.
I wanted to share this brief review with all who are looking for a good atmosphere to hang out. I did not eat the food nor had any drinks. I went there for the Music which at age 65 was fun and something that I enjoyed tremendously. The people at Ruins were friendly and extremely professional. The impression that was left in my mind, I will be going back to taste the food and will write a review then. Go and Visit them.. you will enjoy your time there.
Food is unique and crave-worthy Snapper taco was Spicy and delish!Enjoyed the mushroom taco and calabasa also. Service was great. Anita is engaging and helpful. LOVE the ambiance, decor and the music was really nice. Fun spot unlike any other in Dallas!

I visited on a Friday and was thrilled to hear the best house music I've encountered in Texas, and I'm originally from Chicago! The drinks were exceptional, unique, and perfectly balanced. Thank you for a wonderful evening! Service: 5/5
Nice little spot. We fell In quickly to get drinks and they were nice and accommodating. Prices can be expensive. Food looked amazing but didn’t have time to eat. Feel like it should be busier. Drinks strong and tasty.Food: 5/5
