Studio Lounge 2216 Market Galveston, Texas Type: Illegal Status: Closed Open: 1940s, Close: 1950s The Studio Lounge was located on the second floor of the Turf Grill (along with the Western Room) in Galveston, Texas. The club fell under the umbrella of the Turf Athletic Club (TAC) that was owned by the Maceos and later the Fertittas. The Studio Lounge was infiltrated in May 1957 by a sheriff bent on bring down the club. This raid was the first salvo in a battle that would end up essentially shutting down Galveston gambling. About Illegal Casinos - by their nature, information about illegal, or unlicensed, casinos is hard to find and difficult to verify. Information presented on the ChipGuide about these casinos is provided as the result of our best efforts but may not be 100% accurate. Even if the information is accurate, gamblers move around and may take their equipment with them; items used in one casino may have also been used in others. Please send verified information about illegal casinos to the ChipGuide so that we may improve our accuracy.
