The patio is all-weather with an elevated deck to view all the other bar's traffic. Ultimate cruising! And the drinks are great and the beer is cold. Gets crowded on weekends.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

I can do without the Dancers, but, other than that have always enjoyed the crowd and have never had bad service from the staff.  When I return to Houston, its always on my rounds.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

AWESOME MUSIC ON SUNDAYS!! The strippers there are HOT! There is this lil hispanic guy that calls himself &quot;Papi&quot; or &quot;Geovanni&quot; is way HOT and sooooo nice. So, yes, I would highly recommend this bar. Like the others said, it is a lil dirty, but come on now, its a bar...if you want a &quot;fufu&quot; environment go hang out in Midtown.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

Best nights were when Louie, Tom, Derrick, and black cowboy hat guy danced. All guys over 240 lbs and huge. Tom the towelboy could get hardon with just the wind blowing! Great music on sunday nights; some new and old dance stuff.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

JR's is filled with fake pre madonna guys, South Beach is filled with young queens that are mostly high by some type of controlled substance, and yeah mining company is not your cleanest, well lit places but in my opinion the people there are real as far as why they go out in the first place.  Face it at the end of the day we all want to go where it's a little dark and crowded and get rubbed on or groaped a little, be real there really isn't much wrong with that.  I've always liked an aggressive crowd that knows what they want and knows why they are there.  I think that what most people dislike about the club is that the mining company has the true loves of a gay man staring you in the face.  I mean Good music, hot dancers, strong drinks, friendly people, and aggressive men that want to touch or be touched.  Most of the other clubs are filled with nelly queens but the mining company is a man's club.  I've been before and I'll be back that's for sure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

If your disabled god help you. In most gay bars the staff have no problem giving assistance at this location the answer is GET OUT. You want a drink on a busy night with 1 bartender you might as well find a liquor store. If you want to watch a bunch of hunky str8 men dance for ya thats kewl but hell you can find that at a number of other bars in this town. The bottom line is the staff lack any type of desire to make you happy in my opinon. So take the advice of someone that travel preofessionally all over the USA and Europe, by missing this stop your not missing a thing and if you think that hunk of a man that you want to go home with is there no worry he will pop out and head over to JR's or the Ripcord before long so you'll find him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

This bar is very popular among the 35+ bear crowd. It is a Levi / Leather bar. Dirty, in the fact that you should not touch anything in the building. The bathrooms have to be a health code violation. Dirty, meaning public displays happen here. Again, it is popular and normally busy. The music is good, the drinks are strong but sometimes the odor is too. If you have extra time, check it out but do not make it a must see. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

The music is ALWAYS pumping and the drinks are the strongest in town. You will get you moneys worth and your drink on! Normally packed with people having a &amp;quot;gay ole time&amp;quot;. However, it appears to be very dirty, the bathrooms have to be a health hazard, and you can see the bug traps everywhere. Maybe that is the atomsphere they are going for??? As long as you do not touch many things, you will have a good time. Not your twink establishment!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

Across the street from JR's and South Beach (SoBe) this bar is dark and is pretty cramped on the weekends.  Crusing and groping are common.  The bar is home to Bears, Leather and their admirer's.
There are 3 Bars, one in the main building and two on the patio, the bar has a couple of video machines as well as two pool tables.  The music is always great.
The mens room has a trough urinal, with mirror so you don't have to crane your neck to see the guys package standing next to you.  For the pee shy, there is a single stall and as with most gay bars, a womans restroom with a single stall that is used by more men than women - even though women frequent the bar as well.
Note to visitors:  If you like peanuts, look for the barrels and don't worry about dropping the shells on the floor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://houston.gaycities.com/bars/296-montrose-mining-company'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Houston&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Montrose Mining Company and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>
