BRYAN

Even tho he’s four apples tall, he packs a punch.

Bryan is an has been essential member of the Ruins team since the Manic days. Quite possibly the sweetest person in the world but won’t hesitate to cut you (off).
Throw on some Deftones and watch him come alive.

We’re incredibly lucky to have him as our manager and part time bestie. A true staple in the Deep Ellum neighborhood.
Come find him at Ruins most nights or he’ll come find YOU!
