| 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. |
