Montrose Mining Company (Closed Permanently)

D I R T Y

Let me explain the title...When I say dirty, I mean it in two ways. 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.

Try it out...

One of the staples in Montrose frequented by the levi and 30-50 crowd. 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 "gay ole time". 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!

Bears, Leather and Go Go Boys

The Montrose Mining Company is a part of the 800 Pacific Street Bars. 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.
