Earlier this month, North central nightspot
Bentley’s on Broadway announced it was closed
for remodeling. Now, it looks like there’s more to the story.
The City of San Antonio has ordered both Bentley’s locations — the bar on Broadway and a beer garden on Alamo Street — to shut their doors due to code violations and an unusually high volume of noise complaints,
. City officials delivered a cease-and-desist letter to the business after years of tension with a nearby neighborhood association, according to the story.
Bentley’s officials were unavailable for comment on the report Tuesday afternoon.
“For many, many years — and I say many, gosh, maybe 10 years — the noise has just been crazy,” Oak Park-Northwood Neighborhood Association President Gina Eisenberg told MySA. “When everybody came back from COVID, this bar manager … decided to build this outdoor patio with amplified sound with speakers … And not just on weekends but during the week on school nights, [there’s] loud, blaring music until like 2 in the morning.”
