Mothers Ruin

Spectacular spot for a cocktail (or three). Kortnee has infinite patience with the rowdy late night crowd. Her ability to make an A+ Old Fashioned under the gun (and then go above and beyond in recommending a better Rye than I had initially chosen) blew me away and will keep me coming back. Matt at the door is friendly and wears appropriate hoodies—best bouncer in the city.

Such a cool spot in Germantown in Nashville.Mothers Ruin is just a big space with a bar and tables but somehow it has this awesome vibe from the people in the establishment.The have great brews and cocktails. And the food is great. But hands down the energy is top notch! So much fun!4 x 🍺🍺🍺🍺

The bar has a fun and cool atmosphere, making it a great place to hang out. However, on multiple occasions, I experienced rude behavior from one of the male bartenders without any clear reason. After checking other reviews, it seems like Im not the only one, as several others have mentioned similar negative experiences—likely with the same person. Its unfortunate because it really detracts from an otherwise great spot.

The place is super cute, you do have to wait for a bit for seats but the wings and fries with the dips are amazing and they have a pumpkin Pina colada that I know sounds a bit nasty, but it’s the best thing I have ever tried!!! Cute for a friends hangout, or date.

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.

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 didnt mind. Next, the bartenders were super 👌🏾 helpful during the ordering process.Drinks were phenomenal and decent priced 😍 (the reviews were true): I got a Hot Toddy and my friend got a rum drink that has curacao with something else.Food was AMAZING 👏🏾 : I got the double cheese burger with waffle fries 🍔 and my friend got the Falafel burger 🍔 with waffle fries 🍟.

Didnt try the food, though really wanted to... my friend thought it was too crowed to stay so had one drink... asked for a spicy marg, she was nice n made it v quick but not filled at all n came to 18$ w/ tip which i thought was v steep for a very sm quick cocktail. Nice, happy, good looking crowd... but i wont seek this place out again when in the neighb.

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 $13 for a neat drink single.Half the people seem to come here for food, half come for the drinks. I did not try the food but it looked good. Seems to have a local crowd following with friendly people.

Horrible service and staff. Bouncer was extremely rude and refused to let me re-entry for the simple fact he was insure at the fact I was a gay man that was taller and more attractive than him. Wouldn’t recommend if you have a working brain. Would give 0 stars if I could. If you are part of the LGBTQ community do not come here. Absolutely not a safe place.

I had a great pregaming moment here just TOO loud. And normally loud doesnt bother me so luckily we found some outdoor seating. Getting a drink wasnt hard snd the bar tenders were nice. The tall beard guy drink was hitting the whole time. Music was a vibe.

Love this place. My husband and I had our first date here over 10 years ago. We always love to come back. Great cocktails and food—very chill.

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.

Nice bar. Cool vibe, great cocktails, a and the food looks good.

Incredible food and incredible atmosphere. This is my go to hang out spot in NY. Can’t wait to check out the Nashville location soon.

Never been disappointed in the 13 years I’ve been coming. Sullivan made me and my friends some killer drinks and his hospitality was top notch!

Bartender is very rude, he demanded a tip, pressed the tip button several times himself, I didnt want to leave a tip for such a service, but he kept pressing this button. Good bar but the bartender ruined the whole experience.

The bartender with a displeased face looks at you as if you came to his house and he has to serve you. The service is disgusting, although the place could have been pleasant if the service staff had been changed

Delicious foodamazing service bartenders and the Bouncer extremely polite doing his job and totally LGBTQ welcomingI love the late night atmosphere, totally industry.

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 food. Good vibe, music and pretty generic crowd. Can always rely on a having an enjoyable time here.

Came in with a group of 6 for brunch and didnt wait too long for a table (about 30 min). Ordered the chicken and waffles and the waffles were literally Eggo brand waffles from the freezer section. Im not exaggerating. They werent even toasted all the way through, really soggy. It was disappointing. The chicken was also smothered in Cholula hot sauce and overpowered everything. I ordered a slushy drink and it was tiny and overpriced but its Soho so thats expected. They dont serve coffee either, only espresso. Definitely not a brunch spot but ok bar.

Good food and drinks to celebrate a friends birthday. Very lively, loud but not too crowded.

Mothers 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 burgers in Chicago. Everything is simple order all at the bar. Usually always have a table available but almost close to being full. This is a great local hangout with some amazing drinks and food.

Rude employees, awful service, we walked out on the rude waitress with short hair and a bandana working on Monday September 7, who really needs an attitude check.I found Mother’s Ruin via Google Search of “All Day Brunch in NYC”. We had already tried Jack’s Wife Freida and Clinton St. Baking Co, so I figured we could try out this place per online recommendations. I absolutely wish I hadn’t wasted me or my friend’s time.My friend arrived first at around 2pm, and she was seated immediately, the place wasn’t full, so I’m still trying to understand the fussy attitude from the waitress. My friend asked about the menu, and the waitress disgustingly told her to get up and see because she wasn’t going to find anything, and she wasn’t sure why she was checking online. There are ways to inform someone about this, condescendingly speaking to someone is not it. Well, my friend went over and took a picture of the menu and noticed the menu on display didn’t really match anything we had seen from their usual menu (per my google, yelp and online research.) Also, since we were there for their brunch/breakfast items, and their outside sign said “brunch until 4pm”, we wanted to confirm if they were serving any brunch items. Well, she tried to ask the waitress about this, she smiled to get the waitress’ attention and the waitress got her attitude and rolled her eyes. I arrived as this happened. Now, my friend is an overly kind person who always says excuse me and apologizing for other people’s faults. I not so much... She saw me and said let’s just go and pulled me away. We ended up going to Ruby’s which is a block or two down. They had amazing breakfast options, and service was 10x better than here. At least they noticed us right away and weren’t rolling and sucking their teeth.Skip this place, absolutely not worth it.To the owners/managers, if your employees are not up to answer questions for potential but most importantly ALREADY SEATED patrons, I’m not sure why they are there. This is unacceptable and seems like an ongoing issue now, this isn’t the first review within the past week that I am now reading of horrible service and nasty attitude from the employees. Do better, because who wants to go to a place where the employees treat you like you’re a pest or bother?

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!

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

So whenever I open a tab, I try to tip the bartender right away up front, just so they know I’m not cheap. This is the first time I didn’t tip extra and considered asking for it back.The bartender here on a Saturday afternoon (hair in a ponytail) was so incredibly rude and just plain bad at her job it was embarrassing to the rest of the staff and the establishment.I mentioned that I like vodka and sweet drinks and could she please make me something, and she stated that she could only make what was on the menu and I should just pick one of those. Or I could have a cosmo.I asked her if she could substitute a liquor in one of the drinks, she reiterated that she could only make what was on the menu.Again, I tipped well over 25 percent straight out of the gate, I’m just sorry to the owner and the other bartenders because her rotten attitude and all around bad job at being a bartender cost the business and them a lot extra.Some friendly advice to the bartender - please just find a job you hate less and do everyone a favor.The eggplant dip was good and the other bartenders seemed fun and kind - it’s a shame one person ruins it for them.

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! Cant rave about this place enough. Everyone has to try mothers ruin!

Food was fresh and very tasty! Drinks on point

Fantastic experience at the bar! The bartender Freddy was not only skilled in mixing drinks but also had an incredible ability to engage with customers. Their recommendations were spot on, and the cocktails were exquisite. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was lively. Ill definitely be returning for more of their expertly crafted drinks and delightful conversation.

Mothers Ruin definitely has an allure to it. Maybe its the solid cocktails, or the rotating frozen beverage options (come on treat yoself), or the classy sort of dive bar vibe. Theres always a crowd but its never uncomfortable and the bartenders are attentive.

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)Didn’t eat anything so can’t say anything about that.

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.

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 bartender was busy but absolutely friendly . I love how the music complements the room and doesn’t take over . Thank you for having me I’m excited to visit again .

The tall bartender with long hair will charge you 30% tip without asking.

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

I can’t count go how many times I’ve been to Mother’s Ruin since they opened ~12 years ago, but I have never had a bad time or a bad drink here! Even at its loudest and most crowded, the service is nice and quick and the bar retains an easy, laidback atmosphere. There is something for everyone on the cocktail and food menus, and no matter what day of the week or time you visit, it’s exactly the right time to be there. You can’t go wrong with the slushy and, while I enjoy all of their food, the French onion grilled cheese is a classic!

This is a very small but nice bar in downtown NY. We went to enjoy post marriage toast with friends. They offered a free champagne bottle to raise and an entire section of corner bar to enjoy the party. The staff is very humble and provides an option for various cocktails.

Solid cocktail bar with decent space. Drinks are ~$16 each

Snack and drink after work at the bar. Great service and the Negroni was wonderful. $30 with tip and tax

Came to Moms Ruin as a recommendation and the place definitely didn’t disappoint!! The food was soooooooo good. The service that we got from Caitlin (hope I used the right spelling) was amazing , she made suggestions that where exactly what we didn’t know we needed not to mention that her play list of music was such a vibe! I left saying “I can’t wait to come back”

Stopped for a cocktail on the way to a friends art gallery. Very nice atmosphere, amazing Cocktail. I ordered a monster Jam, tequila bar and beer satisfying.

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

I was referred to this place by a bartender at another bar in the area and it did not disappoint. Open late ! The food and drinks are great! 4/5 but only because It was extremely busy when I went and it was hard to hear over the music/other conversations.

Just went for the first time Last saturday and I was AMAZEDDD!!!! LOVED THIS PLACE! The food was amazing, so delicious and great portions, but what really made this place 5 stars was the staff!! We had a great service from Vicente, Hernan, and Martin!! They made this experience so wholesome! Will definitely be going back! 100% recommend it!

You can really tell the beers on tap don’t have the pipes cleaned very often. Tried two and was like, wow. The crowd and staff is great. Just the tap beer sucks. Maybe it’s known for the cocktails.

If you go here you HAVE to try the chicken sandwich. Perfect spot to meet up with a great group of friends to kick off the night or finish strong. Be sure to get your Mexican beer of choice fully loaded too!! In proximity to other great bars and restaurants in the area with access points available.

Absolute best neighborhood bar of all time. Best food, best cocktails, but the bartenders make the experience. The ambiance is super casually chic. Sullivan is THE BEST & keeps us coming back

We stumbled up on this joint for late lunch after walking the area on a trip to NYC. What a great find! The comfort food menu was fresh, the service attentive and even the music was spot on. Comfortably hip. I highly recommend!

Its a nice and cozy bar, the food is good and fun without being too expensive and the drinks have a little bit of character. Bartenders are awesome and the music is not loud so its perfect to hangout. Sometimes it gets a but too crowded thou but so is everything else in the area so thats not a deal breaker, however this may not be your spot for a late Friday or Saturday date. Their brunch menu is pretty good, Tri tip + pouch eggs and the burger is pretty good and it gets even funkier with the duck wings, a personal favorite.

Always a good time, best chicken sandwich in the city, if you disagree message me personally.

Great new spot open in Germantown. It has a nice vibe to it. The bartenders were all very attentive and very friendly. We had a couple of cocktails and all had great flavor and balance. The only thing i didn’t love was the Oreo bomb. Hard to beat jack browns Oreos.

During a trip to New York, we were told about Mothers Ruin, a spot reputed for its cocktails. Naturally, we were intrigued.This place has a welcoming neighborhood bar vibe, offering an upscale menu of bar food with some intriguing options. Although we had dinner reservations elsewhere and couldnt sample the food, it certainly piqued our interest.One of my favorite aspects of cocktail bars with skilled bartenders is watching them in action, and Mothers Ruin didnt disappoint. Their extensive list of signature cocktails, along with their willingness to craft any off-menu drink, was impressive. We sampled a few of their classics while we waited, and it was a delight to see them expertly prepared. They tasted as good as they looked.The atmosphere here is casual—its not a fancy bar, but it has plenty of other appealing qualities. The prices are reasonable, which is surprising given the talent behind the bar. I would have expected higher prices for such quality.Overall, its a fun bar with excellent cocktails and a great place to visit.

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). We managed to get one of the tables in the corner nook at the front and it was comfy, with a heater right beside.The service was friendly and the food was delicious! We had the nachos, which came with super tender and yummy carnitas and a tasty cheese sauce.Also, I saw the reviews about the security guy specifically and Im not sure if it was a different person but the guy who was there when we visited was very nice and friendly.Cons:My only complaint is how loud the music got. They turned it up around maybe 9 and then again around 10, encouraging us to head out (I dont like yelling over the music to hear the person next to me).Overall:I would definitely recommend a visit if youre in the area and looking for somewhere nice to go for a couple drinks and some good food. Next time I want to try that French onion grilled cheese and the chicken sandwich everyone raves about in the reviews!

Staff is amazing, Sullivan is out of this world and keeps me coming back, great bar! Plus the food is incredible, Cesar salad is defo worth trying!

Came here for some drinks on a Friday night with my friend. They are currently checking for COVID vaccinations with the new nyc rule for bars and restaurants. It wasnt too crowded inside so we were able to grab a seat along the wall. We both got the murray hill finance and it was delicious (and strong). Bar tender was great (attentive and fast). Its a very chill, intimate spot thats great for grabbing drinks with friends.Ive heard their chicken sandwich and other food is delicious so I will be returning to check that out!

Stopped in here for a quick drink while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant. We were able to get delicious cocktails quickly, despite the bar being quite busy. Drinks were well made and it was easy to get the check when we needed to cash our. Ill be back when Im in the neighborhood.

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 get drinks and they were delicious. We did not order food but what we smelled was amazing, and would definitely go back to try. It was a cozy vibe on a chilly autumn night.

I had a total blast here. The place was packed and small, but the bartenders were efficient at making the list of craft cocktails. I adored each of the drinks we tried as a group and was impressed by their quality and inventiveness. I wish I had a place like this in MN.

Literally the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had in my life lol. Definitely worth coming just for them!

I came here for brunch with my GF and it was a great experience. We didnt have to brunch on a busy Saturday and the service was fast. I ordered their Biscuit and Grits and it was delicious. I was afraid it would be very heavy but it turned out to be just right with some spicy kick and smothering sauce on top of the poached eggs. My GF got their French Toast and honestly it was decent but not the best you could get.All in all, we had a great experience here. There is no crazy wait and the price is reasonable; the tax is actually included in the price listed on the menu. We were so surprised!I would definitely come back to try other dishes and their cocktails.

Closed my tab without asking me and charged ~30% tip even though I was right there. Would have left a good tip regardless but would have appreciated if the bartender wasn’t deceitful.

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

Such a nice vibe with good music and the drinks were pretty good. Added bonus, the bathroom area was nice and clean. Post college crowd/vibe

The bartender JACOB was the absolute worst experience ever. We came for my friends birthday. The birthday girl requested a birthday song and he called her entitled and went on to play a completely horrendous song with screaming and then snarled at her and said he owes her nothing. This is after we spent over $400 in drinks. We will never return and it’s very unfortunate to have people employed that do not care about the customers.

We loved the food and drinks here, but service was just terrible. We had to ask the server - a mean girl with pink hair - to take our drinks order. Then to take our food order. She threw the drinks in front if us, and then didnt check on us once, to see if we needed another drink, or water, or clear our table. We kept sitting there for over an hour with dirty plates and empty glasses, even though it wasnt busy. Then finally got her attention to ask for the check. Will not be coming back.

Late night kitchen is too great!! Open late, best thing around by miles. Munchies, drunchies, youre set until Late!

Always a good industry scene, consistently open until 4am and kitchen is open super late with good food! (I ordered chicken wings to go at 3:15 am 😱😱) Theres always a list of rotating cocktails and alcoholic slushies.

The Mothers Double Burger was so delicious at 3:00 a.m. Good quality beef w/ bacon and all the other amenities. One of the best burgers Ive tasted... Ever!

This is a great local bar. Cocktails are well made and staff is always friendly. My only complaint is that it can get a bit crowded at times, otherwise I highly recommend.

Great bar! It is a loud, typically crowded bar, but has a fun, cool vibe. It is even crowded on Sundays and week nights. The bartenders are friendly, and the drinks are good, as well are their boozy slushies!

By far one of the best bars in NYC!! As a New York concierge Im always out in the city and the cocktails here surpass many more higher end cocktail bars. The best part of all is that the food is amazing and now they offer BRUNCH every day til 4!!!!!!!!!! You have to try the crab cake Benedict amazing!

Great drinks and will be coming back for the food!

I went to this place expecting an amazing time with great energy. Im so disappointed to report it was the exact opposite. The workers were rude, the tables were dirty, i even saw a ROACH! And the cherry on top, the bouncer had a DISGUSTING attitude. Mothers Ruin? The only thing that it ruined was my night, and my appetite.

Came here right after wayan for the bomb waffle fries and amazing drinks. The Dr. Do Better drink works so well you would think chai and rum were made for each other. Also any tequila fans, Positano Plunge was just so good. Also shout out to our server who was the sweetest

This is a great bar. Nice atmosphere good drinks. Gets crowded but you can still talk with friends. Great place to start the night!

Theyre open! Amazing service, and the menus an explosion of flavor.

Pim-based cocktails are a must at this brunch staple/late-night hangout. Black bean burger comes with waffle fries and contends among the citys best. Get there right before noon to avoid waiting for a seat at the bar or one of several tables.

The most amazing staff and menu. I’m here every day during lunch break and when I get off of work. You come in for one drink at 8pm and end up leaving at 4am because you lost track of time while having fun

Stopped in for a drink, bartender Jake, made me a very tasty cocktail. Didnt eat here but the food sure looked good. Great location too.

This place is epic. Outside of the touristy areas, great food and really great drinks

Great food and delicious cocktails. Bit expensive but always a good amount of seating inside & outside. The bartenders are lovely ppl!

“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!

Bartenders were friendly and the food/drinks were great.

Hot as heck, rude service, rude bouncer, slow service. Will not be coming back

The bar woman with the short black girls she is really AWFUL,she did comments about me and my friend with the other customers in front of my eyesI think she should to stay home with this attitude!

This secret-threat cocktail bar seemingly appeared on the scene from nowhere, and its become a total industry hangout with a strong beverage program and completely no frills attitude. If you know a lot of bartenders, youre likely to run into some friends when you stop by. The only downside is that there is no food to speak of, so eat before you come.

Great spot for cocktails. Good Vibe. Met a few awesome people. The Bartender Rob was the best!

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 its hot and makes the waffles soggy.

Sloshies are good, service is nice. But every single time Ive been there with a group they were rushing us to close the tab. This time AGAIN the guy came back saying the sloshy is not available and here is your check because we need to close the tab. Its really frustrating.

Bartender is quite rude here

I really want a job that I can do whilst high.Who put Mothers Ruin in a class with PDT??? Are you mad? Dont get me wrong... it is a cocktail bar... mostly.... but PDT has got it down to an art and science, a tour de force of cocktail mixing. This bartender (budded) had to constantly refer to the menu board behind the bar to remember what was in the drinks. I guess Im now spoiled for a bartender that doesnt have to taste every drink they make to be sure they got it right, and still manage to make an unappetizing Cold Nipple. The Hoss and Hoss was a much more successful drink. Like a hot toddy. Perfect for the lousy winter weather.Now the food. *Sigh* I was so looking forward to Onion soup on this cold drizzly night. The Grilled Gruyère Cheese sandwich was just going to be a bonus. The soup was basically salty SALTY bouillon. I was reduced to using it as an au jus to dip the sandwich in. And that was still a bit too much with the salt. Once again, my second attempt here turned out better. The Old Bay seasoned Waffle Fries were great. The portion is huge, so plenty for two or three people to share.Now the waif with the blue hair... What was her function? I had to get my own bottle of water. I had to get my own napkin with my fries. And she kept disappearing out the front door. Im not high maintenance. Really Im not. Im the type of person that brings back their glass, coaster and trash to the bars before I leave. I even push my chair in. But this lack of service was off-putting.I will give them props on the music. Im now playing Hot Chip on loop. And I didnt have to be high to appreciate it.

Vegetarian tie-dye pizza is good. The ambience is good. Usually there is a waiting time of 40-80 mins.

Bartender Jacob is taking care of us, everyone has been so cool, the door man bumper, the food, the drinks, all of it is perfect

Absolutely incredible service and food. Burger and drinks were delicious. Jake the manager is a wonderful personality.Recommending to the rest of my office for sure.

If youre looking for a great, low-key cocktail bar, this is your spot. Come during the summer & order whatever is in the slushie machine. The food is not to be missed either - get the grilled cheese!

Terrific cocktails without the fuss. The unassuming bar is a refreshing change from the pretentious Nolita vibe that surrounds it. This cozy bar and rotating cocktail menu make it an it-list bar that is gives up to the hype.

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

Visited on Sep 19 2021. Went during the day so it was a bit less crowded, but everything was good.Great food, tasty cocktails, attentive staff and good vibes all around. The frozen cocktails were especially good given the temperature that day. Vaccine mandate was also nice to see.

Fantastic service and great drinks. The staff are knowledgeable and the cocktails are inventive and fun. I’ll definitely be going back!

Great cocktails and outdoor seating

Breakfast burrito was amazing. Cozy and comfortable spot to have a drink. Bartender did a fantastic job.

Somehow Mothers Ruin has remained just as great for over a decade in SoHo.Always a top and reliable drink stop.

Nice crowd. Trendy and young but comfortable for the older set thats young at heart.

Excellent find. Good was delicious. BCE was great, sausage biscuits were spicy but hit the spot. Kale and fried chicken who would have thought!

DISCRIMINATION!If I can give this establishment 0 star i would because I didn’t even get the chance to experience the service here. If you’re foreign/tourists or an international student/worker like me, don’t even bother coming here because they won’t take your international IDs.I was walking around Soho at 6pm with my friend shopping and decided to stop by Mother’s Ruin due to good HH reviews from our other friends. We walked in and ordered drinks at the bar and the bartenders asked for our IDs. My friend from South Carolina gave him her ID and ordered and I gave him my driver license (i’m from Vietnam but the license was in English too). He came back to us returning my friend’s drink and I was like “where’s my license”. I then looked at the bartender who is now showing my ID to his coworker and they were snickering and shaking their head??? The bartender came back and asked me if I have an American ID, I said no because I’m not a citizen. He then said “well you sound American”. I said “but im not”. At this point, I said I have another form of ID if he wants to see it and he didn’t even want to see it!! He asked me if i bring my passport and I’m like who carries their passport around if they’re not a tourist?? So clearly no I did not bring my passport. I wanted to show him a picture of my passport but of course he didn’t want to see it. I was very angry at this point because it was clearly racial discrimination.Well so just leaving a review here for my fellow non-Americans if you want to find a bar in Soho, DON’T GO HERE!P.s this happened in May.

Just had the best afternoon here with the bartender making mojitos. Great vibes and awesome drinks!

Food is delicious. Had the tri tip hash. Amazing flavor. Great ambience, too. Live music during Sunday brunch.

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

Drinks were good but the bartender made a rather rude comment about my friend’s place of origin.

Great vibe! French onion soup wasnt great. One bartender was quite rude but the guy from Australia was tops!

Kinda expensive and VERY loud. 2 drinks and one sandwich split over $50. Should have been $35. Staff overwhelmed but tried to be nice.

Drinks were tasty and bartenders were great at handling the crowd and keeping drinks moving/spreading the wealth but just overall too crowed for its own good

Inspired cocktails from master TJ Lynch are served up with precision and fun at Mothers, alongside a nicely spun gastropub menu. Go for the Burger, and stop by on a Monday night for themed celebrations like tiki night!

Great paper plane. Amazing looking russian girl following me all night. 🥰🥰

Revised: great cocktails. Evan the bartender, is awesome!

Chaotic and lacking warmth, but with great food and speedy service.

Decent bar in the SOHO area, but I did not taste the food. Great draft selection and full bar. Ennoy!

Great industry joint. cocktails, beers, great food and the kitchen is open until 330am. Caitlin is very cool

Great drinks, had a dark and stormy. Good vibes only

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!

I miss Tiki Mondays. The stiff slushie cocktails almost make up for it. Also, the best wings are the Cholula Honey, and I wouldnt self-identify as a Cholula Honey person.

Thank youIt was so good

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 HAPPENED! This place is awesome; the vibes are great, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. It’s a little on the expensive side, but nothing crazy.We only picked this place because we thought the name was funny, but we will definitely be returning 🫶🏽

Great cocktails, but gets way too crowded after work. Appetizers are rich but tasty.

Laid back crowd, lots of hospitality workers, excellent staff, strong drinks if that’s what you’re after.

Great service. Great atmosphere. The grilled cheese comes with a french onion jus for dipping. Delicious!

Best mozz sticks this side of the city plus amazing drinks. Go here.

Good drinks and great vibe but the music was a little loud to have an extended conversation.

Busy and loud but if you can get a cocktail theyre delicious. Fried chickpeas are a must have snack.

Expensive and pretentious. But considering the area, this is not surprising. If you find yourself in SOHO looking for a place to grab a drink, this may be a good option.

Really delicious & fun atmosphere. The spicy eggo chicken & waffles are outrageously nice.

This place is good, but the bartenter needs to chill, mood changed right away when we ask to pay on what we had, party of 6 and cant even handle 3 bills. Not coming again

Cool Neighborhood bar. The beer selection is weak. Prices OK. Good vibes and great service

Perfectly good bar with a very friendly, tender bartender. They serve picklebacks here! So go get some.

This place gets way too crowded and for me there was this weird overwhelming aroma like way too much cologne. Could not stay for more than a few minutes.

Nice atmosphere and good cocktails

Great bar with a really nice outdoor seating area. Good selection of beers

Good cocktails

Nice location with great atmosphere. I really enjoyed my time. I definitely recommend it. Enjoy.

What a bar. The staff was amazing. Ive never seen a bartender do the work this guy did. Just wow. Glad I showed up.

Cool place with very unwelcoming staff.

Love the food and the friendly staff. We come here for brunch and have not been disappointed.

Great food, great cocktails, and most importantly great staff!

Bouncers are drugged up and feel like it’s ok to be physical with women. I spoke out about their physicality with a lady and a brawl broke out. Nice place turned ghetto

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.

Chill spot with good cocktails and snacks. Always a friendly bartender

They have some creative cocktails.There are a few larger tables in the back, if you get there early enough.

Not a huge fun of overcrowded places. Nice ambience, maybe music too loud imho

Great cocktails and vibe, never super crowded like most other bars in the area

Nice hub but when its full house way too noisy. Good food and delicious cocktails though!

Nice bar with a great environment and fun time if you’re with a group of friends.

Very cool spot with good beer and food!

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 thot never but what a buzz. Come back the next evening and just as fun great buzz. Made new friends but we lost our glasses in the excitement. And it was the blind leading the blind drunk. Will b back in a few months and the mothers ruin will b on my watering hole places for another pickled back 🥃

Scottie is the most amazing bartender ever!!

Great food and service, down to earth staff, and enjoyable and laid back atmosphere.

Food was great

This is my favorite place in New York. Solid bar food, tasty cocktails.

Oversalted to perfection nibbles. Awesome drinks.

I went with latinoamerican friends and the security guy was very agressive and highly rude. Awful experience!

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 Santas are allowed! We had not come from Santacon and were not wearing any Santa apparel, so we laughed it off as a joke. He mocked us and continued to insist that we needed to leave because we were Santas, raising his voice and shrieking as if we had actually done something wrong.Some of my friends had red ribbons tied in their hair or on their purses from gift wrap at a birthday brunch earlier in the day. Does he believe that Santa wears red ribbons in his hair? Does he suffer from poor eyesight? Does he hate women? All of the above?Any attempt to explain to him that we were not dressed up as Santa fell on deaf ears as he continued to screech at us to get out. One star for giving me this hilariously unhinged story that I will absolutely be retelling at every opportunity, but otherwise being incorrectly profiled as Santa was ultimately a 0/10 experience.We ignored him and didnt leave since the reasons given (you are dressed as Santa) did not apply to us. It was easy enough to have other (male) friends buy our drinks so we could avoid the manic bartender but it certainly created a very odd and unwelcome experience that dripped of misogyny. I can only assume this establishment does not provide proper health benefits for its employees, as this man is clearly unable to get the glasses and therapy he desperately needs.

Brunch here w/ lauren after soul cycle. good bloody mary w/ a pickle. not much table seating

Not exactly craft cocktail, but also better than run of the mill bar. Super friendly service.

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.

Drinks are great, definitely try the frozen drink of the day but the staff was hit or miss.

Nice place for cocktails with friends or a date. Does get pretty busy and loud

Best late night burger but man the crowds can be rough.

Food was really good and cocktails

Horrible service. Spend your money somewhere else. Plus they are separating vaxxed and unvaxxed ?? DISGUSTING

Good spot for a beer or cocktail... friendly and professional staff.

Drinks here were a little expensive. The atmosphere is somewhere in between a bar and tapas restaurant.

Great bar in soho. Food and drinks are super.

A small, cozy, & fun place. Cool cocktails and nice staff.

Loosen up

Amazing flavor filled drinks and a really skilled bar staff

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!

Great cocktails (solid French 75), fun slightly older vibe than some of the area (thankfully) & surprisingly delish wine on tap. Didnt try the food but absolutely would next time (french onion grilled cheese whuuuut).One of the managers, Syl, is an absolute hoot! Hope to see him again to hear more stories about Paisley.

Ashley is AWESOME! one of the best bloody Mary in the city

I was satisfied with burgers and potato fries. Its a cool place

Bad experience.. The waiter refused to service because only one of our friends gave him small tip .. That was very rude

A great Friday afternoon spent sipping on some whiskey drinks & devouring the Thai chili Brussels sprouts dish, yum! Highly recommend: ‘the mustache ride’ - our personal favorite! Fun spot - nice ambiance!

Great place for a quick drink, good music and a fun atmosphere! Definitely try their cocktails

Funky vibe but super crowded on a Friday night with high turnover so people always brushing past you.

Killer brunch. Amazing Bloody Mary. Chicken and waffles were some of the best I’ve had.

Pretty loud bar in Soho but lucked out and got a seat by the window with some co-workers when we were there.

Garbage

Went in for a quick drink, ordered the Waffle Fries and Brussel Sprouts….. unbelievably good. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is great, if your near this spot , absolutely stop in.

Grateful spot to go for happy hour and friends and enjoy talking to other people meeting people drinks a great cocktails are great

The french onion grilled cheese might be the best sandwich Ive ever had. super friendly staff, delicious cocktails - the slackers and bitter baby were great..and espresso martinis on tap.

Great cocktails, clean bathrooms, nice staff.

Great spot for a weekend drink. No TVs but great conversation

Super slow service, pretty fratty atmosphere, beer selection is a joke.

Love coming here for the cheese burger and Nachos . Great place to bring friends for a drink as well.

A little crowded, a little expensive, cocktails underwhelming. Good for the neighborhood though.

Cool vibe and atmosphere, but the cocktail I had wasn’t well balanced.

Really good breakfast sandwich on a croissant, service was very nice.

Kaitlyn (bartender) was amazing, good cocktails and cozy atmosphere.

Didnt eat the food, but got the Italian Stallion gin slushie. Pricey, but definitely recommend, especially on a hot summer day! I shouldve had 2!!!

It’s a good bar but it’s usually really crowded and very loud.

I love this bar!! One of my favorites. The drinks and food are amazing!! I’ve been here a lot and I love the atmosphere and have had great service every time. They have outdoor seating now which is awesome there’s plenty of space to social distance and they also have a limit to the number of people inside. I highly recommend this place and definitely will be back soon!!
