Lovers of local beer, head to True Anomaly Brewing Company for one last hoorah. The brewery announced on social media that it’s closing on April 30 due to I-45’s impending expansion. “Over the past year we found ourselves caught in the path of the I-45 expansion while also working to open a second location nearby,” the post says. “Construction delays and shifting timelines pushed that project further and further out. We kept brewing and kept believing it would come together, but eventually the stars just stopped aligning.⁠”

Since opening in 2019, the brewery has served as a gathering place for neighbors, artists, astronauts, dog lovers, and everyone in between. It was also one of the few local breweries to offer saisons and grisettes, along with a limited selection of ciders, wines, and nonalcoholic beverages.

True Anomaly Brewing Company plans to hold a formal farewell with a “celebration of life” on April 26, the anniversary of its grand opening. “While this chapter of True Anomaly is coming to an end, what we built here will always be bigger than a building,” the post says. “It lives in the friendships formed at the bar, the events that filled the room, the beers shared across tables, and the community that made this place come alive each day.”

Heights Filipino restuarant Be More Pacific announced on social media and its website that it has permanently closed after nearly six years in business in Houston. The establishment initially opened as a food truck in 2012 in Austin, before opening its first brick-and-mortar in 2017. Three years later, it opened a location in Houston, which served Filipino staples like adobo, lumpia, and the occasional Kamayan feasts, a communal dinner where dishes are spread across leaves on the table and often eaten with hands. It also shared its culture in other ways, hosting karaoke parties and selling its own brand of banana ketchup. Owners say that the decision to close was difficult, "but it's the right one for our team."

After 28 years in business, the Raven Grill held its last dinner on Sunday, March 29. Owners, Sara and Rob Cromie, stated on social media that their landlord chose not to renew the restaurant’s lease. Since opening its doors in University Place, the Raven Grill has been a go-to spot for mesquite-grilled delights, including bacon-wrapped filets and New York strips, as well as comfort-food staples like burgers, pasta, and sandwiches.

For nearly 20 years, Sunrise Taquitos helped fuel early mornings for families and neighbors in the Memorial area, but now, it’s ready for its next chapter. In a Facebook post, the Sunrise Taquitos family encouraged diners to think of the closing as more of a transition. “With the vision to relocate, we are actively exploring a new space where we can continue serving you with the same warmth, flavor, and Sunrise Taquitos spirit you’ve always known,” the post says. “Thank you for letting us be part of your routines, your families, and your stories for two decades. We carry that with us as we move forward.”

Owner Jacob Torres later told Chron.com that the decision to relocate was out of his control because they lost their lease. “Basically, the gas station's gonna remodel, and they're not gonna have the restaurant inside anymore, so we lost our lease,” he said. Still, Torres says he hopes to open a new location of Sunrise in the area soon.

Diners can still enjoy Sunrise Taquitos at its Spring and Copperfield locations.
