Gladys Kraft asked Michael Reed:

You're funny as hell in this book. I live in Houston so can you tell me which bar that is, if it's real? How much of this is true?

Michael Reed Well, thank you for the compliment. The bar from the book, The Relix Club, is more a state of mind than an actual establishment. It's based on bits and pieces of a few establishments, but it most closely resembles a place called the Jockey Club that closed several years ago. It was located on Richmond Avenue but farther west than where I located my fictional bar.
The story line is made up as are the characters.
