New Gilley's dance hall included in proposed La Porte Town Center
A proposed new Town Center in La Porte would come with an official licensing agreement from country music legend Mickey Gilley to open a new Gilley's-branded restaurant, bar and music venue.
It’s not quite the expansive honky-tonk that Gilley ran with Sherwood Cryer in the ‘70s and ‘80s in Pasadena but it would at least incorporate the singer-songwriter’s name and include some of the accouterments that fans of the Gilley’s brand know and love.
Pasadena locals would have liked the development, still possibly years from opening, to stay in the city where the original Gilley’s was but it seems that the city of La Porte won out. Gilley himself has said that nearby churches weren’t too fond of a nightclub of this scale in that area.
The new project, to be named the La Porte Town Center, is headed up David Miles with Turfway FEC.
