Stone’s Throw, the Montrose bar owned by one of the most prolific and successful restaurateurs and barkeeps on Westheimer, has closed.

The bar at 1417 Westheimer is owned by Shawn Bermudez whose Westheimer businesses include Boondocks, Pistolero’s and Present Company; he also owns The Burger Joint on Montrose, which is nearing the opening of a second restaurant in the Heights.

Stone’s Throw’s shuttering was confirmed by a spokesperson for Bermudez who said he would have no comment about the closure. It is unclear what Bermudez plans to do with the space which he opened in 2014 as a craft cocktail lounge.
