There are multiple bars for mingling and lounging, great karaoke nights, a huge patio with lush landscaping, and fun themed events (amateur strip shows and block parties are the norm). This gay bar opened inside a vintage redbrick building in the heart of Montrose many years ago, and it's been going strong ever since.
JR's Bar & Grill: Like its namesakes in Dallas and Washington, D.C., JR's has been a mainstay of the gay scene for decades.Guava Lamp is not quite as loud or as much of a scene as the bigger clubs, and the interior (comfy leather booths and a long bar) is more conducive to conversation. Guava Lamp: A lively, welcoming lounge with a contemporary aesthetic and a location a bit outside the main Montrose bar cluster.The draw here is the well-crafted cocktails (try the Shaddock Sour, with Nicaraguan rum, charred grapefruit, key lime, and rosemary) and delish bar victuals. Anvil Bar & Refuge: A dark, hipster-hallowed bar and 'refuge' along Westheimer Road in Montrose, Anvil rakes in a lot of bearded dudes and dressed-down dames (some gay, most straight, but everybody's quite welcome).
