SPRING, Texas - s4story -- North Houston residents no longer need to endure an hour-long commute toward downtown Houston to experience premier, high-energy adult entertainment. Entertainment executive and event producer Latrina Blackberry (also known in the industry as Latrina Blackberry of Chocolate Crushes) is officially bringing The Congo Den to Spring, Texas.

The highly anticipated Grand Opening takes place on Thursday, January 14, 2027, from 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM at the Tamez Event Center, located at 23233 Aldine Westfield Rd, Spring, TX 77373.

A Legacy of High-Profile Entertainment Production

Latrina Blackberry brings a proven track record of orchestrating large-scale, star-studded entertainment productions to the Spring community. As the visionary behind Chocolate Crushes, she previously presented The Western Conference—billed as the world's largest hip-hop industry mixer convention—in Los Angeles and Anaheim, California. That landmark production brought together major recording artists, musicians, comedians, and music executives, featuring appearances and panels with industry heavyweights such as Cornelius Grant of The Temptations, Shock G, MC Eiht, Lil Zane, platinum producer Sir Jinx, and comedian Shang.

Reviving Old-School Elegance in Spring

"It is vital for the community to support bringing true old-school sophistication back to our neighborhood and making it popular again, just like it used to be back in the day," said Latrina Blackberry. "Spring deserves a dedicated, upscale sanctuary where mature adults—both couples and singles—can dress to impress, connect, and enjoy authentic entertainment right in their own backyard without fighting downtown traffic."

Hosted at the renowned Tamez Event Center—a premier venue celebrated for hosting unforgettable milestone celebrations with event production budgets ranging from $8,000 to $12,000—The Congo Den transforms the space into an immersive, 300-capacity nightlife and relationship sanctuary.
