San Antonio bar owner feeling impact from downtown violent protests, COVID-19 and heavy weather
SAN ANTONIO The violent protests in downtown San Antonio over the weekend were a significant setback for many local business owners. Jonathan Villanueva is the owner of The Basement Bar and Lounge, which is located right across the street from Alamo Plaza. This isn't San Antonio. Villanueva said he also struggled because his wife is battling lupus, and the recent tornadoes hit his house. With COVID(-19), tornadoes at my house, and now were having to close again and the rioting, we need a break, Villanueva said.
