The Ruins Lounge Now Open in Old Grouse Room Location

It's always way more fun to report on places opening than closing. And in this case, it's a re-birth of sorts.

A new bar and lounge called The Ruins is now open in the old Grouse Room location in Parc Lafayette on Kaliste Saloom.

The bar had its grand opening on New Year's Eve and from the pictures posted on social media, it sure looks like a first-class establishment.

The Ruins is described as an "upscale bar and lounge specializing in small plates and craft cocktails."

The concept sure seems ideal for a great night out with your adult friends -- classy cocktails with light and delicious fare and live music.

Small Plates at The Ruins

In addition to the great food and drinks, The Ruins will continue the bar's legacy of continuing to host live music.

A quick check of the bar's Events Calendar shows several bands playing the rest of the month:

Every Thursday - Nicki Needham (singer-songwriter)
Jan. 7 - The Eighties Experience
Jan. 8 - August Heat
Jan. 14 - Jet Seven
Jan. 29 - The Nik-L-Beer Band

The Ruins will be open weekly from Wednesday to Saturday, 4:00 pm - 2:00 am each day. They're located at 1919 Kaliste Saloom Rd, Suite 303 in Lafayette.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
