I *heart* @RIPCORDbar — my favorite out-of-ordinary bar in the Montrose gayborhood. I’m here mostly for special events. My favorite annual attraction is Bearacudda. As silly as it sounds, the event attracts bears from all over. There are many interpretations about bears, mainly means larger sized hairy men. What I love about this event is the out-of-town deejay playing super-duper dance music. Since there is no designated dance floor, people move to the music wherever they can. That’s a lot of fun watching them. I recently got interested with the annual LUEY weekend in February. LUEY means«Let Us Entertain You» and formed by few prestigious gay bars. RIPCORD usually has no cover charge, except for nights with special events. The staff is very friendly. Again, I don’t drink, so I can’t tell you which bartender is better. Now, stop staring. Pay attention to where you’re going and look out for the uneven floor in the pool hall.

My only two complaints about this bar are the music and the bartenders. For a bar that is «manly» you hear a lot of teenage girl pop music. I kind of felt like I was chaperoning a middle school dance. Also the bartenders have no sense of urgency. Otherwise it’s a fun place.

We had fun again with geeks that drink. Fun with friends, drinking and lots of guessing at the answers. We tried our hardest to beat the Big Chicks but I fear we lost to their larger than normal craniums. Maybe next time we shall overcome the Big Chicks and come up with more correct answers than them.

Good drinks, atmospheric, a music selection I enjoy… I’m not much into the leather lifestyle(maybe a little bit…), but recently I’ve enjoyed coming here with my boyfriend. It has absolutely none of the pretension, drama, or BS that some of the more popular bars have and I think the overall rating should be an indication. Give it a try! If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing, but this is a great place to go for a relaxed night of drinking while still being social and making friends.

Ripcord is my favorite bar in Houston. Always a friendly welcome and great service! A place to hangout and be yourself. Not as expensive as other bars around.

The customers are nice and diverse. The bartenders are nice(though the drinks were a little weak) and the atmosphere was fun. There’s no parking area and the neighborhood is dark, so BECAREFUL walking alone.

I love this bar, every other Saturday I go and I’m having fun seeing the events or just drinking with my BF. Ripcord atmosphere is fun and welcoming, the bartenders have the best customer service in the world and the drinks are on point plus it’s the only bear bar I go to. Come on in grab a drink or two and chill have fun till em ASKAGAM3R sent you.

Best bar in Montrose. All I’d the bartenders are awesome. They also have a great wraparound patio. Wednesday night Geeks Who Drink, pool tables, and great weekends supporting local clubs.

Ripcord is a great bar. Nice, chill atmosphere. The bartenders are great, if you get a chance, check out Christopher Barry, he’s the best. They’re always having events from guest djs, rewind to the 70s-00s, to leather, and they even host geeks who drink on Wednesday’s at 830 pm. They also host an art gallery which you can purchase. Over the years this bar has vastly improved with awesome friendly staff and the upkeep. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into the leather scene and need a place to catch a few drinks.

Ripcord is one of my favorite bars in Montrose. Not pretentious, friendly staff and usually an eclectic crowd. Although it has a reputation for being one of the«seedier» bars in the area, they have done so much in the past few years to make it a really nice bar. I have never had a negative interaction with any of the staff there and would definitely recommend. If you are in to leather — this is the bar to go to… not Eagle

So much has changed. You gotta check it out. 6 leather clubs that hang their colors and host art shows, live music, fundraisers, demonstrations and more. Go and support our LGBT leather community.

Ripcord has been kicking butt lately. Show tunes on Sundays and Trivia last Wednesday was really awesome. Making me feel like we have a great neighborhood bar in Montrose that we can still get dirty at on a Friday and Saturday. Kudos for real.

So. It’s a cruisy bar, but I dare you to find a friendlier group of bartenders, staff and patrons. The drinks are cheap, the company is great. I do wish they had more choices as far as tap beer. It is a place of community and *just* enough sleaze to keep things interesting. There’s plenty of room for Pool, they have a bunch of events, and they’re open until 2.
