It's everything they say.....

It's everything all previous reviewers say, but the large patio deck is now remodeled, clean and not so dark. I can remember when we used to have contests to see how many d**ks we could pull out and s... Those days are long gone. ;-0 It's still real, fun and friendly, in it's own way!

Great After Hours

This bar is free from attitude and it can be a lot of fun. The drinks are good and the prices are great. Try it out it's different but fun.

Grrrrrrrowlllll!

When I lived in Houston the Ripcord was my home bar as well. - On a recent visit, I was pleased to see that though it has altered its physical space somewhat, it retained all that was good from the "old days" - Good service, good drinks, and a crowd of Leathermen to rev up the erotic imagination into high gear!

Ahhh. The Ripcord

This neiborhood Levi/Leather/Bear bar has been around for years and I for one have seen many changes. I consider it to be my home bar. For the most part the men there are men and the women are rare. The bartenders there are great and friendly - as long as they're not busy. The music is good and not too loud that you can't carry on a coversation. They have a number of video games you can play, two pool tables and an area where they show movies on a wide screen TV. They also have a leather store inside the bar. They have expanded their patio and are home to many organzations, i.e., The Brotherhood of Pain, The Misfits, et al. If you're into the Levi/Leather/Bear crowd and are not intimidated by men who are upfront, then this is the bar to go to.
