Just because they can, doesn’t mean bars will reopen Friday
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced today Texas bars can begin reopening this coming Friday, May 22. But not every bar owner is rushing to swing wide the doors.
Some LGBTQ bars are still weighing their options, while some have already given a definite no. And still others are saying they will be open on Friday.
Among those planning to be open on Friday, according to posts on Facebook, are Pekers, Marty’s! Live, The Tin Room, Zippers and The Liquid Zoo Bar and Grill.
