The Best New Bars in Austin: Where To Drink Right Now - Austin - The Infatuation
"There aren’t many other bars in town where the kitchen stays open until 1:30am every night of the year. Despite the “new to Austin” coat of paint and its positioning at the base of a gleaming tech building, Mother’s Ruin feels worn-in and practiced from years of operation in NYC, Nashville, and Chicago. It sits at the intersection of two East Austin worlds: bartenders grabbing a bite before or after a long shift, and vest-clad tech workers hanging out after their 3pm end-of-day. Best of all, the drinks are affordable—by modern Austin standards—making Mother’s Ruin as ideal for kicking off your night as it is for ending it with a much-needed cheeseburger." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
