Houston Bar Shut Down Over Free Crawfish | Owner Says City Is “Bullying” Small Businesses

A popular Northside Houston bar is at the center of controversy after being suddenly shut down by the city. Rabbit’s Got The Gun — known for its viral free crawfish giveaways — was forced to close after city inspectors cited permit and code violations. Officials say the bar did not have proper permits to serve food and had outstanding building code issues. But the owner is pushing back—claiming the shutdown is less about safety and more about targeting small businesses.
