This edition of RIP Austin is a particularly painful one.

While we normally only lose a few staples a year, the spread of COVID-19 and the resulting temporary shutdown of Austin restaurants, play places, retail stores, and bars has led some long-standing Austin favorites to close their doors. Collected here is a running list of All the Places That Have Closed This Year.

RIP.
