Congo Jungle Cocktail Lounge At 5704 Almeda Rd.

[Highrise Tower]

I was reading back issues of University of Houston's The EXtra magazine which was dated June 16, 1948. I came across this local business listing for a cocktail lounge called Congo Jungle Cocktail Lounge which was located at 5704 Almeda Rd. LY-9235. Looks like a year later in 1949 the lounge was renamed to Abe and Johnny Jamil's Congo Jungle Cocktail Lounge.

I thought Abe Jamail owned another club in Southwest Houston.  Was it in Midtown on South Main or on Buffalo Speedway?

Does anyone remember this place? Any memories or stories?

June 16, 1948.

Here's some history from Fieldtripper:

Located at 5704 Almeda Road, the Congo Jungle was one of Houston’s hot nightspots between 1946 and 1962. It featured live music every night and a jungle motif complete with palm trees and waitresses outfitted in leopard print dresses. Abe Jamail, Texas’s most highly decorated World War II veteran, owned and operated the club along with his brother, John.
