I was discriminated against at this bar with my significant other at 1:53 am on the night of my…read morebirthday. I simply wanted to check out the bar, (wait on my uber because the street was busy) the bouncer/employee up front ( with plenty of patrons still sitting in btw) we asked to go in for the last few minutes just to wait on an uber; if people won't be let in after a certain time change your hours of operation from 2 to 1:50 am or close the front door or put a closed sign up front. We didn't appreciate him calling me a whore for recording the man with the long white beard being vile/hostile towards us simply for recording how we were turned away with plenty of people still being present. We thought he was joking at first - all he had to say is bar is closed and we will close at 2 AM but feel free to check out the spot. It was just 2 people and the bar had patrons sitting in. The screenshot of the patrons sitting inside was after I walked away I came back to record after I realized my partner and I had been discriminated against.

A nightlife mainstay amongst dive bars, Catbirds has been a part of the Montrose scene for the last…read more3 decades. After closing for a hot minute close to two years ago, it was revitalized with new ownership which made some significant updates to the interior while preserving the old school vibe. The neon signs, LCD TVs perched high above the bar, the lively patio area, and even the pool table really add to the overall experience. I tend to find myself at the bar mostly, slamming back a few of what they do best: affordable libations. My recent string of $5 well tequila drinks were appreciated, along with a series of shots form other ddddd The friendly bartenders are a plus, along with the occasional food vendors that make their appearance in pop-up form or the randoms selling overpriced tamales. There are some nights where it's relaxing jazz with a martini, or a weekend evening full of crowded college-aged kids with music so loud that I can't hear what I'm saying. Bathrooms are always a flight risk during times of desperation and the prices have remained steady despite hikes across the rest of Westheimer. The parking situation is limited to a few spots out front, which are so tight that backing in is a gamble and going front in might result in an angle. it's a tight squeeze for larger cars, but these are coveted spots for the bar hopping kind (#1). Catbirds is a nice place to start and potentially a solid place to end, but here's hoping that the changes from new ownership will take this place to new heights. Montrose will forever be thankful. ___________ (#1) Which definitely includes me.

There's also a patio outside, plenty of seats at the bar, there's parking in the front and back. The bartenders are nice, come around every now and again to check on their patrons. The drinks are plenty and they are affordable. This place is exactly as advertised, not pretentious, friendly, and overall good to hang at. I had an apple crown and seven and it was just what I needed to watch the Astros play. Hope to return for more drinks.

If you're queer, a local, or a not-normie type, you'll be fine. I'm here all of the time. The bartenders are nice to me and recognize me. I know their names and make sure to tip. This bar blew up on TikTok a while ago and drew in a more normie and/or corporate yuppie crowd. Loud, annoying bros and people who used to go out on Washington. These people usually get the rude side of the staff. Not saying that they deserve it but there is a clear personality mismatch here and I witness a lot of people who aren't the target audience for dive-y bars like this clash with staff personalities they aren't used to. If you are type two just be cool. Dive bar employees usually don't follow the hospitality training of pretending they have to like you. Don't yell at them for service or try to make casual conversation with them if the bar is busy.

OAS is the perfect spot to grab a cocktail before or after dinner and just chill for a bit.

In a Houston summer, this is the place to get a little AC and a perfectly mixed drink.
