OK, just to set the record straight, Cooter's had 2 locations in Houston in the 80's - the original was in the Windsor Plaza (610 & Richmond) opened around 1979-80, the 2nd location was on Edgebrook at I-45, which opened summer of 1982. I know this because I worked for the company from 1982-1985, primarily at the Edgebrook location. The concept was expanded to other markets - St. Louis, and I believe Dallas as well however I was not with the company any more when that happened. The concept was pop dance music - when I worked there you heard a lot of Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, The GoGo's, Prince, Lionel Richie, Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, Billy Idol, Stray Cats, Hall and Oates, B52's, Rod Stewart, etc. you get the picture. The Windsor Plaza location had a pretty decent Happy Hour crowd, it was on the far west end of the shopping center and Todd's was on the end closest to 610. Disco was dead and they never played Country music at these clubs. It was a fun club and the Galleria location stayed open until about 1989.
