The Ruin - Salt Lake City

I was excited to hear they were upsizing to a downtown location because I loved their sugar house location. However, I feel like the employment has become too lax, bathrooms are never clean, I wait too long for my orders while the employment talk amongst themselves by the end of the bar… and I can’t tell if they sell food or not. The website says they do but I’ve never been offered even a food menu much less if I’d like food. I’m very disappointed on how the service and bar has diminished and I hope to see a change professionally soon for my favorite bar.

Went for a special tiki night, the drinks were overpriced and didn’t really taste that good (got the corn n oil and the chameleon). All of the food smelled great and the atmosphere is pretty cool, though.

Literally one of the most boring bars I have ever been to. Went on my birthday. The bartenders had no sense of humor and everyone their seemed like they were contemplating death. There’s plenty of better bars to go to.

Very cute new bar on Main! Drinks are fantastic food options are on point. Very reasonably priced especially for the high quality of both. Strongly recommend the BAMH cocktail and grilled broccoli. Tons of gluten free and low carb options (including gf options on tap)! Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with a genuine quality that is hard to find. Dogs allowed outside the vibe is great still catching live music and frequent foot traffic but less crowded and hectic than a block south.

Love the vibe at Ruin. Also love that it's a new and well kept secret. If the bars down the street are busy, head north a block to Ruin! Amazing staff, great cocktails, and delicious food.
