Gay Guide to Houston
Houston's gay life centers on Montrose, the walkable gayborhood where the bars cluster along Westheimer, Fairview, and Pacific. JR's Bar & Grill is the flagship, with club nights at TOWN Danceboutique, the leather Ripcord, and the 40-year-old Numbers. Houston Pride runs in June, when Montrose becomes the venue for a parade and block party. The largest city in Texas pairs a diverse, sprawling character with a compact, dependable nightlife strip you can walk end to end, busy year-round.
