"Spider House Cafe, a coffee shop and bar by the University of Texas at Austin campus, has officially closed its doors, as reported by Austin 360. Spider House was located at 2908 Fruth Street in the North Campus area. Spider House opened in 1995, and the funky house quickly became known as a campus-area hangout open to all ages. It served coffee and alcoholic drinks, food (until its kitchen shut down in 2018), and was home to food trucks, like vegan burger truck Arlo’s. The cafe had been closed since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, and owner Conrad Bejarano told the publication there was “no point” in reopening elsewhere due to rising costs of operation." - Erin Russell
