Ruka Winewood

Miami has so many restaurants and bars but lacks of more wine bar offerings. As a wine enthusiast myself, I’m always down try new wine places. Ruka Wynwood has been on my radar for a while and I recently found out they have happy hours between 6-9pm, so what a better opportunity to give it a try. For a Wednesday night, they had a fair number of customers. I sampled their happy hour red blend pour. It was mid body, somewhat complex but low on tannins which allowed for easy and smooth drinking. The fruit content was moderate. It was the perfect wine for an early night, to sip and hang out with friends. I pretty much enjoyed the two glasses I had. Service was not the best to be honest. During the 1 hour I was there, no one checked on me. No one asked me if I wanted more wine, water or another pizza, etc. I was hopping to have their charcuterie board paired with wine, but they had no charcuterie. I asked for the pizza options and hey only had one out of the 3 options on the menu, only the cheese pizza. The pizza is not the best looking pizza, but it tasted delicious. The cheese was sort of smokey, that was delish. I would have that pizza again.

What a find! The music was the perfect level. I’m a wine lover so the menu had a great selection. If you love sushi this is a perf place for variety plates. I had a lovely gals night and would recommend for a low key but aesthetically pleasing evening! Ps. Alexandra our bartender was a gem to us and really added to the vibe of our evening 💛💞

Ruka has quickly become my favorite wine bar in Miami! They’re serving excellent charcuterie plates with homemade focaccia, making authentic Argentinian choripanes with chimichurri, and the empanadas!! Their wine selection is a perfect blend of regional South American and European wines, truly something for everyone. Also a great place to throw a party or happy hour, the staff is so lovely and on point. Hope you love the little hidden gem as much as I do.

Ruka has become our favorite wine bar in Miami. So when we needed a place to host my husbands 40th birthday, it was a no brainer to contact the Ruka team. From the beginning they went above and beyond and were able to accommodate all our requests. I felt so relieved to know that Leandro and his team were on it. They thought of everything from building the menu, bringing in the food to hiring a photographer. The event was a huge success and our friends continue to tell us how great the party was!

Visited and painting event hosted in the yard, the service was friendly and cool, Asian food served looked legit (I lived in Tokyo). It’s a good space to hang daytime and evening

Ruka always has a fun atmosphere with an excellent wine bar and outside lounge through the back door, with DJs and grill. Each time is a great experience, meeting new people and enjoying wine, music, and dancing. Thanks!

Always loved this little hidden wine bar with a secret garden patio in the back. Lots of brick, dark metals and beautiful finishings. Been to a few tech or design events there & always a great vibe.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful — each dish beautifully presented and bursting with taste. The drinks were just as impressive — creative, perfectly balanced, and a real treat. Huge shoutout to Santiago and Mati for their outstanding service! They were warm, attentive, and made the whole evening feel extra special. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a night out. Highly recommend — can’t wait to come back!

Summarizing, I'm coming back pretty soon for their red wine, at $5/glass, you can't beat that up, specially when it is such high quality. I hope they have the charcuterie next time.

Ruka Winewood (@rukawinewood) is a wonderful place to listen to live music, drink some wine, and enjoy this beautiful Miami winter . There are wine bottles available to select from a refrigerator and select bites and wines by the glass to order at the counter. The bites were tasty enough. The vibe is hit or miss in terms of music. Some days, you may get a lounge-feel. Other days, there is live music, or you may see more of an upbeat vibe with a DJ. I would phone or message ahead if you're looking for something specific.

Interesting spot. Not very easy to find to be honest. The night we went I am not sure if there was a party of if the music levels were typical, but it was quite loud. We did get a chance to meet and speak with the owner about their wines and tried a few. I would say the wines are pretty solid. I didn't get a chance to try the food. I do plan to go back to do that but hopefully on a quieter night.

We love hosting our pottery events at RUKA! This hidden gem is a spot dedicated to Wynwood locals - with a secret garden and happy hour every day - there is no better place to host your private event, birthday party or community club. We have loved working with Leandro and Ale, they make everything easy, simple and fun. As a local pop up business - we have had the opportunity to work with a lot of locations and F&B partners - and it is not often that a place opens its doors and makes you feel at home quite like RUKA does. I also see the surprise and excitement of each of our pottery guests when they discover this beautiful secret garden in the middle of the city. The wine is great, prices are great, bites are great and the vibes are incomparable. I know we have all been die hard fans of Lagniappe for the last 15 years, but when you can't find a spot to park, to seat or to order - consider this your new dive bar.

Attended this little bar in Wynwood for our work Christmas party. We got to try the charcuterie, sliders, and their selection of beer and wine. The staff was incredibly nice and conversational. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. The food itself was all very good. The outdoor area that they have is super cute and was decorated so nicely. The weather was nice out so we were able to comfortably enjoy the area. Overall this is a very cute place that would be enjoyable for light snacks. I'm not sure if they have a full menu with entrees available yet but would be excited to try this as their Menu continues to expand

Came here looking around and found this little cute gem. We had some coffee and it was so good, they're known for wine and food outdoors. BUT BY FAR THE BEST COFFEE WE HAD! The server was super friendly and polite! Great service!

I never write reviews, but I felt like I had to after having such an awful experience. We came here to eat and drink some wine & we were excited because the reviews on Yelp made it seem like such a great little spot in Wynwood. But based on our experience, We will not be returning. The service was extremely disappointing--it took 45 minutes just to place our order, and we waited even longer for the food. We were the only ones sitting outside, and it felt like the waitress had forgotten about us. When we addressed our concerns, she dismissed them by claiming we had only ordered five minutes earlier, which was simply not true. For the rest of the evening, she made us feel unwelcomed. It's a shame because the ambiance was great, and the food was ok, but the poor service outweighed everything. I'm giving it two stars for the atmosphere and food, but that's about it.

Great food, ambiance, and staff. Overall Nick and his brother Leo behind the bar are running a tight ship and make for a great experience!

Great hidden gem in the heart of Wynwood! We came on a Sunday at around 7:30pm and they had a DJ playing all the vibes in the back patio area. Also, Luna Rossa is serving up some of the lightest and fluffiest pizza's I've had in Miami on Sundays evenings here. The wine was exquisite and very reasonably priced! I would describe it as a more upbeat Lagniappe in Wynwood. Overall, was such a great vibe, great music, and great time. We will be back soon! p.s. it is kind of hard to find but it is inside the Atrium building...

Awesome place. Hidden little covered garden with a great wine selection and impressive food for their size.

Tried this place out on a date night and let me just say I 100% recommend! They had a good wine selection plus the ambiance was so tranquil. The servers were great and really made us feel at home!

We held our clinic holiday party here tonight and from the beginning planning stages to the close out of our tab, everything was flawless! Leandro and team provided stellar service and worked with our budget to ensure we had an amazing experience and a private event for 25 of us in attendance. I couldn't recommend them enough! The atmosphere was amazing! Will certainly consider to continue having future corporate events here!

Stumbled upon Ruka on Friday night and it is definitely my new favorite spot. It is the cutest wine bar in all of Miami (and the food is great too)! The ambiance is fantastic, location is perfect, and everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend coming here on your next date night or GNO.

Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Ruka Winewood. Staff was extremely attentive and accommodating for all our needs. Patio space is spacious but cozy. Great spot for a date night or hanging with a larger group! It was a Saturday night so they brought in a DJ to play until late night. Got to try a couple of the wines and they were all great. They also offer beer by the bucket and hard seltzers. I did not get to try any of the bites but my friends that did all said everything was delicious. Will definitely be coming back!

This has become my favorite weekend spot in Miami. Came across this secret winebar through social media. Such great selection of wine and small plates, but even better vibes.

Great space and vibe! The outdoor garden space is beautiful-a lovely hidden garden in the heart of Wynwood. Be careful not to miss the entrance on the street-- there is a sign on the street and the beginning of the walkway-- you have to follow the path to find the hidden garden and wine bar. Highly recommend!

Living in downtown Miami, I always thought of Wynwood as a run down tourist attraction. A friend of mine visiting from NY forced me to show them around and for the first time ever I found a place worth visiting Wynwood for. Ruka is classy, yet has a young and aesthetic vibe. The staff has great knowledge of their wine selection and has fun and tasty snacks. I highly recommend going for a fun date or to catch up with friends.

This is such a cool place! Great vibes and ambiance.. staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back

5 star experience at Ruka. This cozy wine bar has a chill ambiance and a great selection. If you like new and hip places, this is the spot.

This place has a cool vibe and a great selection of unique wines, not the stuff you find in most bars, restaurants or wine shops. Friendly and professional staff.
