Ok, so I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out the name of the pool hall/sports bar that used to be at 1601 S. Texas Ave.

Here's the kicker - I'm trying to figure out what it was in 2004?!?

Right now, it's the TITLE Boxing but does anyone have any idea what it might have been in 2004? I know POETS is down the stripmall right now, but I don't think it was POETS back then. I also think it might have been called Bullwinkle's at one point.

Anyone have any ideas on the name in 2004?

I appreciate the help.

I posted it the General Board as well, I may have misspoke - it wasn't a pool hall, but more of a bar/sports bar that had a room with 2 or 3 pool tables.

Some have said they thought it sounded like Margarita Rocks - does that sound familiar to anyone?

Yeah - Margarita Rocks. They used to have dodgeball in that side room.

Yep sounds about right they closed around 2010

Margarita Rocks is correct and it was Bullwinkles before that. Was also Mama's pizzza at one point.

Wasn't it also a very short-lived Cajun place?

The place I'm thinking about did not have dodgeball. It was kinda dank. Here's a couple pics if it helps (probably should have posted this first).

Hornbeck's?

Alfred T Hornbacks was going to be my guess. It was next to Acme Glass

1601 shows to be the end of Culpepper Plaza, across Dominik from Blue Baker. It was Bullwinkles when I was in high school. That closed in the mid 90s and at some point around 99-01 it was Crab City. That place closed with no notice - the employees showed up one day to signs on the doors saying it was closed. I lived down the street on Dominik at the time and remember it well. It may have been something after that, but it was definitely Margarita Rocks in the mid 00s. I used to go there for lunch after 2004. Their house margaritas were orange and had a sour taste to them. Not that appealing.

Margarita Rocks

$1 wells. Watched the Aggies beat KU there

Thanks everyone! VERY helpful - Texags never fails.

You mean Hornback's. That was my old stompin' ground. I miss that place.

This will out me as an old, but I can't believe Bullwinkle's is gone. That place was always INSANELY packed on karaoke nights (Wednesdays?) when I was in school in the 90's.

I went to a mixer with my girlfriend there fall 2004, freshman year. Got kicked out because I wasn't in the fraternity throwing the party

Margarita Rocks is the answer, with 100% certainty.
