San Antonio's new doom metal bar Torche is already closing down

After fewer than three weeks in business, doom metal bar Torche is already shutting down over what its owners say is an unresolvable zoning issue. Code-enforcement officials reached out to the property owner right after the bar opened Aug. 1, saying it wasn't properly zoned to have live music on its outdoor patio, co-owner Bubba Solis told the Current. "Our primary draw was going to be bands and shows we booked," said Solis, who also owns Doomsday Tattoo.
