Known for live music. It can hold 80 people max but it's comfortable with 30. It has liquor and beer available. They have games for people to play. It is an all ages venue so be aware if you see a baby with headphones on. It does have a gravel parking lot but I would recommend just parking on the street. The actual bar is hard to get to because they have chairs right in front of it. They do have some unique things like lunchables as food. They used to have a vodka Capri Sun drink. It's definitely Fort Wayne weird.

The Ruin is a hip bar that is definitely worth checking out. The atmosphere is chill and inviting, with exposed brick and cozy seating that makes you feel right at home. The live music adds an extra layer of ambiance that makes for a great night out. But what really sets The Ruin apart is the drinks. The bartenders are skilled mixologists who craft inventive cocktails with top-shelf ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for a classic drink or something more adventurous, they have you covered. Overall, if you're looking for a place with a cool vibe, great drinks, and live music, The Ruin should definitely be on your list. It's the perfect spot to unwind with friends and soak up some good vibes.

(8/3) i was verbally attacked by the owner of the bar (Cassie) who was absolutely drunk out of her mind. she was extremely mean and disrespectful to me and one of the bands playing a show last night. absolutely embarrassing behavior.

I recently came here as a musician to perform. I will not be visiting here again, mainly due to the sound guy. He's incredibly short-tempered. Had a gun on him and made it very obvious. Was also screaming at people. Even wore a shirt that said "Tri-State Killing Spree." Whether that's a band or not, wearing that while presenting other red flags is enough to make anybody uncomfortable. Not a bar I'd recommend playing at.

i would put zero but that’s not an option. i heard the owner had herpes and i saw her spit in a drink. i am absolutely disgusted. never coming back.

Really does need to be 0 star option. Staff is so unfriendly. It's old and just not worth coming here. So many better places to go.
