"Open until 2am Sunday-Friday, 3am Saturday Mother's Ruin in Avondale is great when you don't want to commit to a full dinner but still want the option to grab some food. This casual cocktail bar has tasty snacks like pimento cheese with fried saltines, a very good smash burger, and deep-fried red velvet Oreos. The food is way better than it needs to be, the cocktails are all $13, and the space is busy without feeling chaotic. Plus the kitchen is open until at least 1:30am 365 days a year." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
