In a lengthy post to Instagram, Heugel criticized Spire’s operators both for endangering public health and ruining things for bars that were actually operating safely.Ī post shared by Bobby Heugel on at 2:15pm PDT Not surprisingly, at least a few Houston bar owners who have been following the rules were pretty pissed to see the crowds at Spire over the weekend.

This was when Abbott reopened bars just before Memorial Day, initially allowing them to operate at 25 percent capacity. It’s the second time since the pandemic began that Cle Group, which operates Spire and Downtown pool club Cle, has obviously flouted the rules that required bars to close or minimize capacity.īack in May, Cle hosted a Memorial Day pool party that went viral on social media, when screenshots of a massive pool party at the bar went viral on Instagram. Screenshots from Downtown Houston nightclub Spire from over the weekend show massive crowds, little social distancing, and very few face masks.


Greg Abbott ordered bars across the state to close, one Houston nightclub continued to operate this weekend, and it was totally packed.
