UPDATE: With the sun out, I can read the sign on the door, this is ‘Vents Sports Lounge.’ I just spoke with someone who said the lounge doesn’t open regularly. https://t.co/prAQflEV5G pic.twitter.com/IbCglEsGOm

The restaurant appeared to be abandoned, according to HFD District Chief Jared Reeves.
“We were having issues getting into the attic to get to it. It appeared the conditions were deteriorating so we went to defensive. We had some issues with water supply,” Reeves said.
A portion of the North Freeway frontage road and a nearby overpass are currently shut down due to safety, according to Houston Transtar cameras.
No injuries were reported. No one was inside the building at the time of the fire.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
