"Spin, a New York-based chain that boasted actress Susan Sarandon as a co-founder, opened in Austin in May 2018, taking over legendary blues bar Antone’s, which moved further east. Spin closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic, and then its new management, Spin Austin LLC (unaffiliated with the national brand) received a massive $2.5 million pandemic relief grant." - Erin Russell
