Texas’ Oldest Gay Leather bar since 1982.
Voted Best Gay Leather bar in Houston, TX!
Since 1982, Ripcord has been a fixture of Houston’s LGBTQ+ bar scene and THE gay leather bar in Houston where the wild, the weird, and the kinky gather on a nightly basis. The crowd is incredibly laid-back and cool, and while bears in harnesses abound, people of all genders and orientations are welcome. The drinks, the sights, and the sounds are all major draws, but RIPCORD is first and foremost about community. At Ripcord, everyone is embraced for who they are—no pretense, gatekeeping, just pure camaraderie and debauchery.
