Ruben has called Austin home since 2012, navigating the city’s ever-changing landscape while finding comfort and connection at Lavaca Street Bar. A longtime fan turned team member, Ruben brings his knack for serving up drinks, laughs, and even the occasional dad joke to the business side of the bar. When he’s not keeping things running smoothly at Lavaca, you’ll find him chasing after his three dogs or curating an impressive collection of rare vintage wrestling tees.
