    Amazing wine and tons of fun. Menu changes all the time; Ruffian is doing things their way. But but but- if the cauliflower soup happens to be available, get it!

    Incredible selection of interesting wines from around the world, including Portugal, Hungry & Georgia. Talk to the friendly owners / sommeliers at the bar, and have your mind blown glass after glass.

    Great interesting wine list, tons from uncommon, old-world places - Georgia, Slovenia, etc. Knowledge, kind staff especially if there is a wait. Ventilation is poor - the back can be a bit smoky

    A true gem of a place! They are truly hospitable, sharing way beyond their incredible wine and food offerings. I love that they are generous storytellers and that they engage genuinely with guests.

    Fantastic atmosphere, fun and authentic and patient somms, and a wine menu that challenges and rewards all do a disservice to describing just how much of a gem this spot is.

    This adorable wine bar doesn’t take reservations, but if you manage to score a seat between 5 and 7 p.m., you’ll get access to a “secret stash” of specially priced wine bottles and $5 snacks. Read more

    Sit by the front so that you can enjoy the smells of the cooking but beware, your clothes will flavored (wonderfully!) too.
