Enjoy every time I visit town.
Bill Bernhard's desire
Coming out gay and being new to the scene I visited Ripcord and found it to be a nice place to meet guys wiling to show me the ropes so I recommend it to anyone visiting Houston and wanting to get into the scene you will not be disappointed.
Great leather bar in town
Ripcord is a great bar. Nice, chill atmosphere. The bartenders are great, if you get a chance, check out Christopher Barry, he's the best. They're always having events from guest djs, rewind to the 70s-00s, to leather, and they even host geeks who drink on Wednesday's at 830 pm. They also host an art gallery which you can purchase. Over the years this bar has vastly improved with awesome friendly staff and the upkeep. Definitely worth checking out if you're into the leather scene and need a place to catch a few drinks.
