The “Unique Dining Capitol of Texas” said farewell to the restaurant that hosted a “family-friendly” drag show, which captured national headlines when armed Antifa showed up to “protect” the restaurant from protestors less than a year ago.
On Aug. 13, Anderson Distillery Grill in downtown Roanoke, Texas, closed permanently after receiving backlash from residents in the small town best known for its picturesque downtown that draws visitors from all over the Lone Star state. City leaders had reached out to the restaurant owner, Jay Anderson, after learning about the scheduled event urging him to reconsider his plans for the community of about 10,000, but to no avail.
