forever123 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Does anyone know what happened to a bar that was in existence in Houston in the late 1970s and early 1980s called Gabs? There was also an oyster bar called Gabs 2. I would love to hear from someone who remembers either of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Where were they located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever123 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 One was on the road from Houston to Austin. I forgot the number...maybe Hwy 291 or 241 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marketingwiz Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 That would have been Hwy. 290 but I do not recall a Gabs anything and I'm a native as well as an Aggie so I traveled Hwy. 290 frequently. Guess I just missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop-98 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Gab's was at 6419 1/2 Hillcroft. Originally it was called Chatty Cathy's, then Gabs, now Uncle Joe's Club.Cathy Carpenter was the Cathy in Chatty Cathy's,a few years back she was bartending at Uncle Joe's.

GEM Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Off subject,but does any one remember The 2 Office Club ? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever123 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks, Hoop-98 for the information. That makes sense because the owner of Gabs during the period of 78-80 or so was a guy named Ken Carpenter. Trying to find an old friend that worked there and would love to talk to someone who used to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
