What makes this restaurant notable enough for a wiki page, and why list it as a "Seattle restaurant" or "Texas restaurant"? The Seattle-area locations existed for only about two years. The Plano version existed for about seven, but none of these restaurants seem to have attracted any attention beyond local-news level announcements that they opened (and closed in bankruptcy). They don't seem to have any special community connections. That's like tagging BJ's Restaurants as a "local restaurant" for every one of its 210 locations. The chain itself is named after Henry Weinhard but the name is just an attempt to cash in on local history. It doesn't have any actual connection to him; the original Portland location was opened in the brewing complex, but only in 2004 (per https://www.datanyze.com/companies/henrys-tavern/58311945), after the Weinhard brewery had long been shuttered and sold to developers. It feels like this restaurant belongs at most as a redirect to Landry's, and a few lines there and in the Restaurants Unlimited articles. Mockingbus (talk) 17:35, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
But there aren't 210 Henry's Tavern locations. There have only been a handful. I see no harm in adding categories for these few restaurants. It is common for defunct restaurants to be in "Restaurants in X..." categories. ---Another Believer(Talk)17:45, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
It's cruft, and makes it hard to separate meaningful history, information, and locations from "noise". The restaurant chain itself barely seems to rise to 'worthy of mention'. Defunct restaurants in "Restaurants in X..." categories tend to have some notable value to begin with and something that ties them to those locations; Henry's Taverns weren't notable just because they existed.
