When it comes to charming coffee shops, unique events to enjoy with friends, and romantic date spots, the welcoming downtown Bryan community is thriving with opportunities. With a number of adored sites and historic buildings, the main street strip makes for a fun place to meander around, catch up with close pals, and take cute pictures.

Now, when capturing these photos, the background is the place to begin. Downtown Bryan has tons of staircases, rustic brick walls, and hand-painted murals to create an interesting backdrop for your Instagram photos.

Don’t forget to take a snapshot in front of the infamous Queen Theatre. The vintage charm and retro lights are sure to spice up your Instagram feed.

Aside from the iconic theatre, we suggest that you explore around the strip and peer your head into the shops. Some are eccentric while others are sweet, and the owners are always gracious. Ed’s Bookshop is the perfect place for all book lovers and those who love the academia aesthetic. 

The exposed walls and ceilings at Harvest Coffee Bar serve as a picturesque setting to snap a chill photo with a refreshing iced latte in hand. Some other eye-catching backgrounds around downtown Bryan include a bold sculpture in front of Park Station Apartments and similarly captivating text murals on the side of Caffe Capri and Casa Rodriguez.

Downtown Bryan fits all of your picturesque needs. Whether it's for a formal event for your organization or sorority or for a relaxing stroll on your own, become a tourist in your own town and support its diverse array of local businesses while at it.
