We are beyond excited to host our soft opening on the 24th to 26th of May. We are opening after months of hard work, fresh new design, and full renovation. The hard work is about to pay off. We would like to formally invite the city of Houston to the soft opening of The Big Casino.
Founded in 1886 in our building, the Big Casino Saloon flourished as a drinking establishment and a gambling hall, along with four other saloons on the 900 block of Congress, until Prohibition shut us down... We're back!
