  1. I was looking at a 1950 Sanborn map and discovered a night club located at 7133 Old Main Street Road. From the newspaper The Rice Thresher dated December 20, 1957: Cotton Bowl, 1958 Good Luck, Rice Owls! Houston's Finest Tic-Toc Lounge at 7133 Old Main
  2. Anyone remember this place? I saw Cheech & Chong here-seems like it was on mid-lower Westheimer.
  3. I was browsing the newspaper Rice Thresher dated November 28, 1951 and found an advertisement for Buck Harris's Touchdown Club located at 5209 Kirby Drive. Anyone know about this place?
  4. Any pics.,or comments pertaining to this establishment?
  5. I was browsing the publication Texas Gay Rodeo Association program for the Third Annual Texas Gay Rodeo dated in 1986 and came across this club called The Ranch Houston located at 9150 South Main Street. Did anyone ever go here? This was the original location before it traded hands (or burned down?) and moved around the block on Buffalo Speedway.
  6. I was reading the newspaper The Citizen dated May 5, 1948 and came across a business advertisement for the new Stork Club located at 2100 Old Spanish Trail - Opposite Arrowhead Race Track. The New Stork Club Located at 2100 O.S.T. Opposite Arrowhead Race Track Featuring All-Girl Revue. *Duplicating the Dance of the famous Gypsy Rose Lee. Headliner Emcee Gene Robin - Nationally famous comedian. 10 P.M. and Midnite Saturday Shows 9:45 P.M. , 11:45 P.M., and 1 A.M.

  8. I was browsing the newspaper The Houston Post dated May 11, 1917 and came across an article about a change of name of a club. Name of Gun Club Is to Be Changed: After the State shoot here this month the Interurban Gun Club will be a thing of the past and instead there will be the George Hermann Gun Club. The State Interurban Gun Club and the name will last that long and for that purpose. It is like this: The club has been given a new plot and has a new club house about ready on the Bellaire road just off Main street. The club site comes of property once held by George Hermann and hence the name is to be changed. As many of the local shooters are leaving soon for other shoots over the State before the meet here, the members will be at the new club house Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons and will shoot each day. The Houston Post dated February 3, 1918. Gun Club to Have Shoot This Afternoon: The George Hermann Gun Club will hold its regulars weekly shoot this afternoon, starting at 3 o'clock, at its club grounds on Bellaire road just off of Main street. This shoot, as are all the shoots of the club, is open to all shooters, and a special invitation is extended to shooters at Camp Logan and Ellington field to take part in the shoot or visit. There is no membership or dues to the club, and the--
  9. I was browsing an old newspaper called Brenham Banner-Press dated July 10, 1940 and came across a day schedule. Lots of activities planned for the busy day, and in the afternoon there was a Skeet shooting activity. Elks National Skeet Shoot: Main Skeet Club, South Main Street at the Airport (time of this event will be posted at the Elks Information Booth on the Texas Avenue side of the Rice Hotel.) Looks like this was next to the Houston Main Street Airport. I'd love to know of an address of that airport. Or an address of this skeet shooting club. This is the 2nd time, technically 3rd, I've heard about this place. I wonder if there are any advertisements or photos of this place? The 1942 book called Houston, a history and guide mentions: Trap shooting: Houston Gun Club- 7 miles Southwest on Westheimer Rd. Main Skeet Club- 7 miles Southwest on US 90. In the article clipping below you can also see more historic Houston things such as the BraeBurn County Club, Gulf Brewing Company, Rice Hotel, and Buffalo Stadium.
  10. I was browsing the newspaper The Rice Thresher dated November 7, 1958 and came across a business ad for The Explorer Club located at 7404 Greenbriar Drive The Explorer Club - A Private Club - - 7404 Greenbriar - .... exotic drinks; meals to appease the ravage white hunter; entertainment suited for maharajahs (& beer) .... membership, $6.00, subject to increase Nov. 13; stock available, minimum 10 shares, complimentary membership to stockholders .... contact Hap Veltman before Nov. 9 .... originated, owned and operated by Rice Students. Opening Nov. 13, 1958
  11. There was a place on south main in the fifties called the Trading Post...maybe that's it? There was also the Troubador and the Copacabana, but those don't sound as "country"
  12. I was reading the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated August 29, 1962 and came across a business advertisement for Lariat Restaurant & Club located at 11215 South Main Street. The Lariat Restaurant, Houston's newest, has opened its door at 11215 South Main, and manager Bill Cypert issues an invitation to area residents to visit his beautiful new dinning room and taste is delicious food at reasonable prices. Operating in conjunction with new Lariat Restaurant is the new Club 45, now taking memberships. As an incentive, the first 50 people who join Club 45 says Mr. Cypert, will not have to pay a membership fee - only the beverage pool and stare tax. The club options Sept. 1 at 4 p.m. The large, fine swimming pool adjacent to the restaurant-club building will be operated through September and October at a rate of $10 per family or 25 cents for children and 50 cents for adults. The complex also includes a convenient drive-in restaurant served from the central kitchen. In the dining room there will be nightly dancing- from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Presently playing the Sonny Covington Four. Edit: I just realized this is the same location as a club called Lee's Trading Post Club located at 11215 South Main St. On the below newspaper article it mentions a "new club". Does that mean Lariat Restaurant & Club 45 came after Lee's Trading Post Club?
  13. I was browsing the newspaper The Thresher dated September 20, 1935 and came across a business advertisement for Club Rendezvous located at 6560 South Main Street. Featuring the Bert Sloan Orchestra - Floor Shows Nightly. Couvert - 40 Cents Per Person. This was actually before the Texas Medical Center, if you could believe it. I can only imagine what South Main looked like back then. Wish I was there!
  14. I was browsing the newspaper Southwestern Times dated November 15, 1945 and came across this advertisement for the American Legion Dance at The New Yorker Dinner Club located at South Main at Old Spanish Trail. Monday, November 19 to raise funds for the erection of a new home or John R. Burkett Post 77. Floor Show featuring: Joe Barbee's Band with Frank Reynolds MC Barry And D'Alba - Famous Dance Team Belmont Brothers - Commodores of Jugglers Unique - Sensational Songs by Lovely Helen Crane
  15. Did anyone ever go to the old Club Heat located at 511 Main Street in Downtown Houston? I'm searching for pictures of the interior. When did this club close exactly? Does anyone have any memories of this club?
  16. I was browsing the newspaper The Southwest Citizen dated January 19, 1950 and came across this ad for Clover Ballroom located at 315 Milby St. Meet your friends at the new beautiful Clover Ballroom Popular prices, Bill Mraz Orchestra - Bob Hellers Orchestra.
  17. I was browsing the publication The Thresher dated March 4, 1948 and came across this business ad for The Trionon Club located at 3820 Old Spanish Trail. "Houston's Most Reasonable Night Club" L. 5106 for Reservation. Does anyone know about this club?
  18. I was browsing the newspaper Texas Jewish Herald dated January 13, 1938 and I came across an advertisement for The Grove Club "12 miles out South Main". I don't see an address for this. 13 miles out of south main would place the club near the present day Stafford, TX? Probably empty fields so there wasn't a need for a numbering system. Some of the major acts were Jimmy Dorsey, Carlos Molina, Dell Coon and his Orchestra, Mark Fisher and his Orchestra, Henry King and his Orchestra. Max Manus was in charge of the excellent French cuisine. He was called a Maitre d'Hotel. Mr. Manus of the Texas State Hotel was the person of contact for reservations/tickets. Squires Club used to have events there. Apparently The Grove club was very popular back in the 1930s. I've never heard of it until this week. Very cool find!
  19. I was browsing The Thresher dated November 28, 1951 and noticed a unique address for the Hi-Hat Club. The address listed is 7020 Old Main Street Road. I know the City of Houston changed Bellaire Blvd. into Holcombe Blvd. These renumberings are interesting to see. November 28, 1951 - 7020 Old Main Street Road November 20, 1942 - 1019 Bellaire
  20. I was looking at the newspaper The Rice Thresher dated April 11, 1958 and came across a business ad for Key Club located at 2121 Sage Rd. Anyone recall this place? Any pictures or stories?
  21. In regard to the Hitchin' Post thread below, there was also a Hitchin' Post eatery on Bissonett & Bonhomme for a few years in the late 60's--this later became a hangout called Chubby Chucks..curious if anyone has recall on either of these!
  22. I was browsing the newspaper The Citizen dated May 26, 1948 and came across a business ad for Ballerina Bar located at 8150 South Main St. "The New Look In Houston's Cocktail Bars" featuring Bill Await at the Piano and Solovox. Sizzling Steaks. Anyone recall this place? I never heard of it. Very cool find in the history of South Main!
  23. I was just reading Rice University's The Thresher magazine dated January 11, 1945 and came across this business advertisement. Arthur Long (Formerly manager of the Plantation) Invites you to be his guest at the Halong Club - 8100 South Main Street (Opposite Prince's) New Oak Dance Floor - The finest music - now featuring Jack Rodman & His Orchestra 8100 South Main has a history of being a dance/music club. It was right where South Main splits with Old Spanish Trl, the Y configuration. - Halong Club - Hitching Post Club - Texas Corral (Palladium Club) Also, Arthur Long was a former manager of Plantation Club. Where exactly is that club? I thought I read it was located in an outside tent? HAIF has the addresses of 9101 South Main and another at 10200 South Main. I thought it was closer to the 7000 block of South Main?
  24. I was browsing The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated May 7, 1969 and came across this business ad for 1500 Club located at 10230 South Post Oak At Bellfort. The magazine had a ton of their ads, maybe a total of 10. Sounds like a wild and crazy place. Did anyone ever go there during the 1960's? Any stories or pictures to share? This was before the MacRobert Chevrolet Dealership and Belden's Supermarket? Or was 1500 Club located on opposite side of the freeway?
  25. I was browsing The Rice Thresher magazine dated March 4, 1948 and noticed this business listing for Melody Lane Club located at South Main Street & Old Spanish Trail. Another article includes an address of 1000 Old Spanish Trail. Anyone remember this place? Was this the place where the owner created a pool inside where the drunks would dive for their keys?
