I love this bar they always play the best music and are always in theme, BUT the security guard on 08/14/2024 is very rude! Pushing people out when they are trying to support the shows that their friends invited them too! Overall great bar and will go every time!

Been here many times when living in Houston, came home to visit and went with friends only to be denied entry for being “too drunk” when I was the only sober one out of the entire friend group. Bouncers clearly need a reality check, or training on how to assess intoxicated customers. Disappointed because we love coming here, but won’t be coming back again.

me and my friend were the only girls at the bar and literally none of the 4 bartenders acknowledged us once. i spoke to this vertically challenged man multiple times and he ignored me and rolled his eyes at me. definitely recommend a better bartending crew because they were the only people in the entire place that made me feel unwelcomed to be there.

Ripcord is a great. lomg time neighborhood bar. Been coming for years mainly during day. The current daytime staff Paul and Thomas are always attentive and represent the bar well. Attitudes go elsewhere.

Great location for a drink and just to hang out during the week. It does get busy on weekends. It's well laid out, with a nice big patio for relaxing. Great music and friendly staff make this one of the best bars in Montrose.

Dustin, wouldn’t let me back in the building. He claims I was too intoxicated. He was wrong. He simply doesn’t like me. It’s a vendetta.

Well, as is usually said in most Gay bars I’ve frequented, “Thank Goddess these walls (or the infamous patio) can’t talk. A leather establishment by choice, it’s also a fun place to drop in for an early afternoon cocktail hour (2pm) as most of the bars in the area don’t open until 4pm. Weekends are usually when all the action takes place (and I was rather lucky to meet a delicious piece of yum who was in town from NYC, and actually lives two blocks from my old apartment on 57th St. Kismet. My favorite K word.) Stop in and give it a try sometime.
