Bar · 808 Pacific Street, Houston, TX 77006, United States · 2 saved sources
Say hello to the absolute grand patron of Pacific Street—JR's Bar & Grill. Holding it down as Houston’s longest-running LGBTQ+ watering hole, this legendary Montrose staple has been the fiercely loved, beating heart of the gayborhood since 1982. Combining a laid-back Texas saloon vibe with flashy video bar energy, it features multiple indoor social rooms, flashy male go-go dancers, and a gorgeous, New Orleans-style courtyard patio complete with trickling fountains and refreshing water misters. Operating with a proud, fierce "Never a Cover" policy for all of its nightly drag spectacles and chaotic karaoke showdowns, JR's remains the ultimate "come-as-you-are" playground where you can start your night, end your night, or lose track of time entirely.

Dust off your Stetson and slide into Neon Boots Dancehall & Saloon, a massive, high-kicking oasis of Southern queer twang that serves pure country-fried ecstasy. Housed in the legendary, sprawling framework of the historic Esquire Ballroom—the very stage where Patsy Cline crooned and a broke Willie Nelson scribbled the lyrics to "Crazy"—this 11,000-square-foot honky-tonk behemoth is the undisputed crown jewel of LGBTQ+ Country & Western culture in the South. Under a glittering pair of disco cowboy boots, you can glide across an expansive hardwood dance floor, knock back sweet frozen drinks across 10 bar stations, or shoot pool in the nostalgic Esquire Room.
