San Antonio’s iconic Bonham Exchange is shutting down this Saturday after the city denied its request for a six-month extension to install life-saving fire sprinklers — a project they’ve been working on since 2018. Though they had a prior agreement to operate at reduced capacity while upgrades were underway, the city says they haven’t even applied for the permits needed to begin work. The closure affects seven nightclubs nationwide under similar fire safety mandates, including Club 727. While owners blame the mayor for broken fundraising promises, city officials insist safety is their top priority and vow to fast-track approvals to reopen venues as soon as possible.
