My Grandfather who founded Kays Bar and Grill.

My grandfather was one of a kind. He had a brewery in Houston called Southern Select. When the United States went to war with Mexico, he sold beer to Pancho Villa. During prohibition he helped to make sure Houston was never dry by bootlegging whiskey. With the end of prohibition he started Kay’s Bar on Bissonnet, a place in existence today. I grew up as a baby in Kay’s playing pin ball games and sleeping under bar.
