“It’s with great sadness we announce our FINAL DAY OF SERVICE as La Ruina, this Saturday, September 28th,” the business wrote in its Instagram post.

The team behind The Modernist opened La Ruina two years ago at 410 Austin St. La Ruina was known for its cocktails featuring tequila, rum, wine and mezcal.
