Judge extends restraining order preventing Brownsville midtown bars from closing
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A judge has extended a temporary restraining order that protects seven bars in Brownsville's Midtown Entertainment District from closure due to alleged code violations. Initially signed on June 25, 2026, the order now lasts until July 22, 2026, when the next hearing is set. The bars affected include Antrito, Hong Kong, Bar Rio, Clasico, The Jungle, Vida Loca, and Mal Verde. The city had previously shut them down for issues such as serving minors and illegal substances. The extension was granted after the judge withdrew from the case, prompting an emergency motion from the plaintiffs.
