Montrose Mining Company (Closed Permanently)

Dirty? Yes it is! But a way fun place to chill!

So, before I decided to venture away from Houston, I would frequent Mining...especially on Sunday nights. AWESOME MUSIC ON SUNDAYS!! The strippers there are HOT! There is this lil hispanic guy that calls himself "Papi" or "Geovanni" 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 "fufu" environment go hang out in Midtown.

Bodybuilder dancers at Mine

Always liked the Sunday nights at the Mine. 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.

Oldies

Im 29 and when i go there I feel like an tottler with a bunch of Pedophiles trying to take me home... Oh and STAY AWAY FROM THE PEANUT BARRELL!!!! One of the barbacks was trying to pick up my boyfriend even while i told him that he was my bf and to stay away! What kind of trash is that???? Did I mention STAY AWAY FROM THE PEANUT BARRELL!!!!!!

Depends on what your looking for

I've been to this bar many times and to tell you the truth I perfer this one more than the others in Houston. 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.

Piss Poor Attitudes and Service

When it comes to taking care of the visitor to Houston this bars has to be the worse I have encountered. 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.
