Our History
It all started at The Richmond Arms Pub. A legit English soccer pub. For years, if you were a Barça fan this was the place to be. Take a moment to walk down memory lane and see some of the faces and important events from our past.

Alejandro and Kaje Jay
It was Alejandro who came up with the name 'Houston Culés' for us, and if you were a Barça fan in Houston back then you definitely knew Kaje Jay.
