Mr. Cooter's can you identify yourself as I was one of the Bartenders at the infamous Cooter's on Richmond Ave please! From 1986-1987 I was one of the Bartenders and had a nickname. I actually was hoping to find Michael Irwin on this page and another bartender named Glen, both which were like family and two work mates that I adored. I worked there during the fight that broke out. It was a fun place to work! 

Speaking of bartenders... Is that you Cadillac?

Hi There to All of You ,

I see there are some of you who are interested in my beloved Cooter's? I was the Manager of Cooters for 13 years and worked every single night of the week. I knew about 2,000 people by first names and was in every fight that took place including both times the Met's gave us a try. I see some call it a kickerish place , others call it a Disco place, it was both of those indeed. We played a wide genre of songs including disco and country , and did we ever have the fun. It was the best time of my life and the stories i could tell, would scandalize half of Houston's movers and shakers, but that won't ever happen. Know that even without all the scandalous goings on it was enough to fill my plate and talk about beautiful women? OMG Cooter's had movie stars, sports figures lined up along the sidewalk waiting to get in. It was the best 13 years of my life and should you have any questions I would be happy to answer them, I will not however, divulge private things about the wealthy that frequented Cooters, as they have a right to their privacy . Sincerely, Mr. Cooters, a name I earned

Best times in my life were at Cooter's.  My best friend Linda worked as a waitress and we had an awesome time there. (I was the strawberry-blonde redhead always dancing... or trying to get people up to dance!) I loved the staff, the music, playing pool and as a single girl, always felt safe hanging out there. One night, some guy tried to pimp me out at the bar, the bartender had him promptly escorted to the door by the off-duty PO's that worked security. I danced my butt off there and met so many awesome people! Astros, a dance troupe from a Broadway show, local celebrities... it was always a blast! I have especially fond memories of the 1989 Stevens and Pruitt Christmas party.  Ahhh memories - wish we could go back!
