TexasTraveler's Profile

This is one of the few gay & lesbian bars in town, where the cowboys & cowgirls co-mingle in a simple laid back atmosphere of hot 2-steppin' w/ upbeat great country music to boot! Also, it has one of the largest dance floors I've ever seen in town. My new BF & I took our girlfriends here & had a really fun time. We got a drink, from one of Austin's longtime country bartender's....who happens to be my favorite & still one of the best around, then we mosey'd on over to watch the boot scoot'n. My girl was very impressed w/ how well all the men danced together. We were even approached by a nice lady who offered to dance w/ any one of us....however, we declined. Even if you don't dance you will enjoy some great music & be well entertained by all the accomplished (& non-accomplished)light footed-ness constantly moving around the dance floor. And, if you like looking @ men in their "Cowboy Drag" this is the only place in town to do so. It is also like I said before one of the few places to catch the Cow-gals as well, since Austin hasn't had a real Lesbian Bar in years. So ride on out after sunset to the RCC...you won't regret it!!!

This is a great place to go & relax w/ familiar faces that are die-hard regulars. The people who hang out here love this place & frequent it most of the time. They all know each other well...staff & patrons & aren't afraid to tell ya what they think! But don't let it scare you off, they mean no harm. Sunday's (& maybe other nights too) they have volleyball games and the crowd luvs it! Go have some beers, relax & watch a good game.

This bar is a great place to hook-up & hang out w/ your friends & lovers. On a recent night out my newly coupled friends & I chose this place to meet & greet. It was interesting & the music was upbeat and dance worthy. We were the first ones out on the spacious dance floor & were then followed by other would be dance whores, who weren't willing to be the first. We had an incredible time & my friends raved about the next day! The ever changing color below & behind the bar is one of the most amazing light shows I've ever seen in an Austin gay bar....I couldn't stop checking it out! So put this one on your list, you'll be glad you did!

For someone who hadn't step foot in this bar since it was in it's original location years ago, this was a much anticipated foray. And I must say the new location is even better than ever. This is defintely the place to be for "HHH" - Houston's Happy Hour. The wait staff of guys & gals gave excellent service and the crowd was simply awesome as well. This place is designed & decorated in the hippest of style, from the cool glass counter tiles to the oh so interesting diamond pattern, padded door...."for staff only"! The only thing that would be better is if this door lead to a private hangout for special people!!! ;-) Don't miss out on the "Hot" crowd here, you'll defintely regret it!!!!

This club is one of the hottest places to seek out in Houston. It has a multitude of great things going for it...cool style, attitude, music, funky seating, terrific bar staff. What more could you ask for? Meteor is the place to come creashing in & hang out & soak it all in....the drinks, the people & the music. & like no other, check out the ultra-cool bathrooms!

This place is staffed by bartenders that apparently don't know much about the bar business. We waited about 15 mins for drinks and never got a nod to let us know whether we were being noticed or not. A simple wink or a smile would've let us know that we weren't invisible, but we didn't even get any eye contact from the help. The crowd was lame & we didn't even stay for a 2nd drink. Hey 611, you need to train your staff on the 411!!! ;-)

JR's is one of the mainstays of the Houston bar scene and no matter how many years it's been since you've been there it never seems to change. You always feel that same relaxed laid back feeling as you would any local bar or your own. The people are funky & freindly....some a little to much. But, when it's all said & done you'll have a good time, albeit young or young @ heart! Check it out for "Happy Hour".

I hate waiting in line to get in to this place when it is really packed. I won't do it. Hopefully, w/ the newly open front bar which has a pool table & seating this will aleviate some of the problem. Scotty, Jonathon, Andy the rest of the guys...even the new Carlo do a great job & this is why I continue to go back time & time again. Now if only the dance floor could be bigger!!!

Yes, as recently reported this place has been in decline. I have been frequenting this place for many years & most all of my favorite bartenders have left & gone next door to RAIN. This means I no longer get the special treatment that I use to receive & had to tell a new "yung pup" behind the bar recently. However, it is still a great place & hopefully it will get better really soon. Sunday afternoons for happy hour are still the best here...there are no better burgers in town like Margie's & you can't beat the price either!!!!

This is Austin's newest, coolest, revamped bar in the downtown/convention center area. For year's it has needed this major redo.....& it's finally here. Now if only the word would get out & the crowd would pick up. It has it's own parking & one of the larger dance floors in town, which many places cannot say that they have. I've been here several times w/ friends in the last couple of weeks & will be back again! Go & check it out if your in town, you won't regret it.

My friend & I were here for Halloween this week...we were very disappointed. Is this all there is for gay life in VEGAS? This is a bar that advertises itself as the only gay bar on "The Strip" & honestly...we really expected more. We're from Texas & Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio...even Oklahoma City has better bars than this. We were not impressed w/ any of the other bars in this town as well. We thought they were lame @ best...Come on Vegas....Step Up!!! Wish we woulda heard about the party @ Studio 54 before hand as well, I'm sure it was the place to be. We'll be back.....C'ya, bjh
