Mad Daddy's Inferno Club At 4807 Bissonnet St.

I was there once, if I am thinking of the right place, but I can not say where it was. I went with 2 friends on a summer night in 1964 or 65. I have a better memory of going to La Maison when it was in a former grocery store, in 1965. I think these places were popular with kids from all over Houston. My cousin from the East End spent a lot time at both places as well as friends from SW Houston. There was a small, very short lived, 'teen club' on Bissonett in Bellaire near the Bellaire bowling alley. It was called Mad Daddy's Inferno. That name jumping out of my memory is too bizarre, a true flash from the past.

Mad Daddy's Inferno!...Thanks for the post...first time I've ever herd anyone mention MDI in almost fifty years.  I knew the owner's son and I think his name was Porvechio..plus, my band played there one night.  Seems I remember we set up in an elevated loft area near the back...we did 'You Really Got Me' et al.

Mad Daddy's Inferno Club was located at 4807 Bissonnet Street.

From the newspaper The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated March 17, 1965. 

'Mad Daddy's's Mad Say Will Return

Mrs. Paul Porrovecchio and a delegation of young people appeared at the Bellaire City Council meeting Monday night, supposedly to protest the closing of "Mad Daddy's Inferno" a teen-age night club which has been operating at 4807 Bissonnet--
