"Operating under a liquor-license designation that allowed it to function as a “reception hall,” Spire continued to host packed-out parties after other bars were restricted, staging events that featured performers like Shad “Bow Wow” Miller and drawing ire from Houston hospitality professionals and elected officials; the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission suspended its ability to serve alcohol for 90 days, and Spire has since announced plans to reopen on March 13." - Amy McCarthy
