Mother's Ruin, a beloved cocktail-meets-dive bar founded in New York, is opening up its fourth location right here in Austin on March 7, just in time for spring breakers and SXSW visitors.

So named after the mid-18th century nickname for gin, Mother's Ruin already has locations in New York, Nashville, and Chicago, and according to a recent press release, Mother's Ruin partner TJ Lynch is "really excited to bring Mother's Ruin to Austin, a city that we feel has the energy, creativity, and inclusivity that define Mother's Ruin."

Lynch adds in the press release, "We’re also excited to bring a new late-night option to the East 6th neighborhood where everyone can enjoy great cocktails and awesome bar food from early until last call, every single day of the year. At Mother’s, we never close because we’re committed to being a central and welcoming part of the neighborhoods we serve."

What Lynch is referring to here are the unique hours that Mother's Ruin is known for: It's open 365 days a year from 11 am to 2 am, with a kitchen that stays open just as late as the bar.

Some favorite menu items include Cholula honey wings, Thai brussels sprouts, the Mother's Smashburger, and other bar food favorites. Uniquely, Mother's Ruin will also offer a brunch menu within a few weeks of opening, everyday until 4 pm. Brunch will include classics like French toast, chilaquiles, avocado toast, and "breakfast burritos." (Which we believe is a misspelling of "breakfast tacos," but, hey, they're new in town.)

Specialty cocktails include the Slushy du Jour, the "Cybercuck," something called an "Emergency Confetti" with rum, lime, kiwi, watermelon, and aperol, and several other drinks with equally irreverent names. Mother's also features a full beer and wine list as well as several alcohol-free options. According to the press release, Mother's Ruin offers "the quality of more pretentious cocktail bars but with a faster and more fun approach."

Mother's Ruin is open everyday from 11 am to 2 pm starting March 7, at 1401 E. 6th St.
