Ruski's Tavern - Portland

I visited for Sunday brunch and had the incredible sausage biscuits! If you enjoy cozy, hidden gems with hearty food and friendly service, Ruski's is the place to be. My friend ordered a Tito's and orange juice and received a generous pour. The drinks are strong, which is definitely a plus!

The best bar in Portland! It has a beautiful crowd, fantastic atmosphere, and absolutely amazing food and drinks. The entire venue resembles a dive bar with the charm of a historical art gallery. I can't wait to return! Highly recommended.

To be honest, if you haven't tried the hash egg and cheese with a Joe Moran combo at Ruski's, you're likely missing out if you're from the East End.

Cozy little dive bar with the nicest staff and clientele. I popped in there from Boston one afternoon and had a ball for a couple of hours before jumping on the train back. I found it to be memorable and have every intention of going back when Maine is warmer again.

This place is an absolute gem. If you like fine dining and white glove service, go somewhere else! This is an old townie haunt where every seat at the bar is full in the morning and you'll be the odd man out if you order a coffee. Food was great, service was great. We only wish we had found this place sooner!
