Ripcord is the second oldest gay bar in Texas and the state’s oldest leather bar.
Since 1980, the bar has become an iconic staple in the Montrose community, hosting a wide range of events.
Gay community organizations like Bears, Cubs, Daddy, Chaser, Twink, Leather, and Masculine Men all frequent Ripcord.
Ripcord is a terrific location to unwind with a beer or a cocktail on a pleasant Houston evening thanks to its spacious terrace.
There are dart boards, pool tables, and a terrace outside. Locals choose RIPCORD because of its accommodating staff and inexpensive beverages.
