New downtown bar planned for Red Cat Jazz Café at 924 Congress. Read: 100 percent of its profits will go to charity.
Ryan Rouse, left, and Scott Repass, right, work on visualizing the bar as they prepare to open a non-profit saloon in downtown Houston. ( Karen Warren / Houston Chronicle )
Is this to be a replica of the bar? in Seattle which doles out alcohol to alcoholics at predetermined times?

Well least we know where the next DNC convention will be held.
Haha....Im a democrat but thats hilarious..We are already printing the flyers.
non-profit doesn't mean non-salary. I'll bet the owners and staff are sure to get their "cut" before any "profit" is realized.
Fact - almost all restaraunt / bars lose money for the first few years. It takes years before they break even, years more before "profit", and years after that before they make back thier investment. That's why most bars FAIL before 5 years.
Non-Profit... Give me a break...
Awesome idea! What kind of grinch wouldn't want to see money donated to charity? I'll be there once they open
Key word I notice is "profits".. Have they disclosed their expected operating costs and revenue? It would be sad if they pay themselves exorbitant salaries/wages...
so winos off the street can drink for free?
Looking forward to supporting OKRA. I plan to continue to be part of the positive energy of Houston.
Ill second that Bubbe!
