The Old Quarter

When I was in Galveston the other day I stumbled across the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe while walking around the Strand.

The Old Quarter is owned by Rex "Wrecks" Bell and is a reincarnation of the original Old Quarter which was a well known folk club in downtown Houston during the 1970's. Wrecks also played bass in the Hemmer Ridge Mountain Boys which was Townes Van Zandt's touring band.

The Old Quarter regularly features concerts from some very good local musicians and you can also get Starbock beer there.

More information on Wrecks and the original Old Quarter in downtown Houston can be found here.
