The Darensbourg brothers founded multiple bars and restaurants in the 1930s.
were a large and gifted family that made Dallas and Fort Worth home, and in return they gave the two cities a small piece of their New Orleans culture. In 1929, Percy Darensbourg, the eldest of the brothers, was a well-known musician during this time who opened a bar in Deep Ellum named Central Tavern Inn. His younger brother Caffery followed three years later and opened the successful Frenchie’s Creole Inn on Boll Street.
Like many other restaurants that began on this busy street, they closed as a result of new developments being made in the city. The businesses that did make it through the Great Depression would have likely been forced to close due to construction of the highways that began in the city and cut through the business district, leaving little to no options for Black business owners during this era.Today, very few reminders remain of this period in time.
