ruth — Restaurant in New York

The new spot on the block. 11/10 and heres why

You can almost walk right by it if you are not careful. But if you have decent peripheral and an affinity for rustic architecture it should catch even the busiest of bustle’s who stride by. The first thing I noticed was the rusty tin look on the outside which gave this new spot a look of seniority amongst its neighbors. Looking into the window and you can see a cheese chop bar with big wheels of cheese and blocks of all shades of white and yellow. Inviting myself in only to reveal more than cheese but an entire bar and only what I can describe as a fireplace den with velvet plush couches and loves seats. It was dim-lit, lush, and damn right sexy.

Keep going and we get to the outdoor patio This brings us to the Mediterranean seaside. I don't have the words to describe it. You're going to have to check it out yourself!

Oh, and the cheese and charcuterie and cocktails are satisfactory, and then some.

Employees are down to earth good-humored and friendly (but something tells me to push their buttons it's still Brooklyn)

The bathroom was spotless which is incredibly impressive as important.

I'd say this is a great place to come by yourself if you want to ponder about life. But the level of intimacy this place has makes it a hidden gem for dates. Bring a plus one here if you plan...

If there was a modern day Cheers, this establishment would be mine. Been here on many occasions, birthdays, date night, friend meetups & solo. The bartenders (love Bobby) are all friendly and creative.

In love with their speakeasy setting. Their minimal entrance can easily be missed if you are not paying attention to the small neon sign. The inside provides a lovely contrast with dim lighting & well positioned colorful velvet couches. Its giving elevated bar experience but at the same time cozy & casual.

By now I've tried most of the drinks on the menu. My usual go-tos are the señor Hemingway, Soapbox and the Grudge, all tequila & mezcal based. For rum, I have gravitated towards the Coco laser beams and Satanic nightjar. The Lucky Cat (gin based) and the Depeche mode (bourbon) are very well crafted cocktails

Big fan of their charcuterie. You get to chose any 3 items for $27, 5 for $35. The platter arrives with crackers, dried fruit, honey. I do wish it had more bread Their cheese is bomb. I love the roomano, brie and montealva. But also if you want to order within the neighborhood, I believe they still allow outside food.

Lastly weekend nights can get too populated, so weeknights are best. Jazz Mondays are an excellent...

My goodness! This place is epic! Exquisite and homey, the lay out is just so perfect! The back space, the bathroom, the smell of cooking, ah, so relaxing, enticing, and refreshing__all at once! Heyyy, although I don't drink anymore ( except H2O or cider) I saw how quick and fast and agile the bartender was! Kudos, to you, the supersonic bartender!!!!....

Now, now, I am gonna tell you this: you can get back to me and tell me I wasn't lying! Or if our taste in what our eyes see differ__yiu are also allowed to tell me I was just hyping the place up(Disclaimer: the place do not pay me to advertise their establishment, and definitely they do not have any idea I am gonna be writing about them__even me myself didn't even have a clue I will be doing this! But, they do deserve to be uttered in the...
