    Bruising from bouncer grabbing my arm and yanking me back from the bar, trying to pay for parking.

    Assaulted by bouncer when trying to pay for parking. This happened Saturday night 5/7/22, into 5/8/22, the bouncer asked me to pay for parking for my sister to be allowed back in. As I was walking back into the bar, the man came from behind me, yanked me by my left arm, and pushed me out. When I called the bar to let them know the man grabbed me, they said I was lying, that they had looked at the footage and would not help any further. I have been to this bar many times, each time it gets increasingly worse, and the crowd gets more and more sparse. I will never go to Crocker again. For your safety, and those around you, DO NOT GO HERE. The bouncer is about 5'6", maybe 165, gaunt with gaps in his teeth, and a bald head. Absolutely terrifying and angry man, should not be allowed to touch young women.

    This bar has really good drink prices. The bartenders are typically friendly and the atmosphere is nice as well. This is a nice place to go with friends for a casual drink or two. Sundays is a good time to go for Sunday Funday.

    It's a Crocker Bar Christmas!!!

    Love this place!!! Great everything from prices, to parking, to staff, or even a cheap well drink! (Especially on a SUNDAY!!!)

    Saying this is basically the "gay Cheers!" would sum it up. This is a fun little Montrose bar. The crowd is mostly attractive, 20s and 30 something men with some women thrown in here and there. The patrons are very friendly and fun to be around. Bartenders have a heavy pour and the friendly owner Grey keeps the prices super cheap. There is never a cover charge. This bar also offers some fun Karaoke on Thursday and Sunday nights with different hosts to spice it up. Patrons bring in food on Sundays on occassion and the bar hosts benefits and Art Shows frequently. Darts - Pool - Bar Arcade - Digital Jukebox Check it out.

I couldn't believe that was my first time step into South Beach Club (SoBe) since I moved to Houston almost 2 decades ago. Every time I came to SoBe, I got turned away by the long line wrapped around the parking lot before midnight. That's when I normally get off work. But this time, we stopped by on Saturdays. We came super early, like 9:30 pm. Yeah. We got our free pass. Normally, it's $10 cover charge, which isn't bad because there is a huge dance floor with high tech lighting system and sounds system. It was totally worth every penny. Because we love to dance. We adore the music to our liking, more like in the 90's oldies. Yeah, we are older than most people on the dance floor. Thank goodness they didn't kick us out. I remember one night there was a huge group of young Asian guys came in around 10 pm. There were also many birthday celebrations around the seating area. Boy, I would love to sit on a cozy chair after dancing my ass off. Looks like they have some kind of VIP access. There were also girls and straight couples on the dance floor and around the lounge area. Oh, there is a cool patio on the side. Restroom was clean. Looks like there was some kind of upgrades at the club. Yeah. I would definitely return.

    Always great staff and fun times. A true open and accepting environment. I recommend getting on the…read morespeakers and dancing the night away.

This Play Nightlife bar is located at the former Hamburger Mary's and Buddy's aka Kiki's on Grant Street of the Montrose Gayborhood. The entire complex has Hollywood neon sign on it. The left side is called Club Pause. The right side is called Play Nightlife. Together they are called Pause/Play (like on the music machine). On the weekends, Club Pause opens at noon and music starts at 10 pm. There are other activities like karaoke nights on Wednesdays and Thirsty Thursday etc. I'm usually here on Friday and Saturday nights after 11 pm. Saturdays seem to have a bigger crowd. Club Pause has bounce music by DJ Jimmy D on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a place to hang out and dance. I like to dance at Play Nightlife because the deejays are from the former Eagle Houston. CJ Fader was the resident deejay upstairs and DJ Jimmy Skinner was the resident deejay downstairs. Music is more danceable than South Beach Houston. There are not many parking spots up front. People usually park elsewhere and bar hop to Play from neighboring bars. There are 2 taco trucks in the parking lot. My favorite food truck Pixi Dust Houston is previously called Eagle Eats. That explains why I come to Play Nightlife more often than any other gay bars in the Houston's Gayborhood.

The service is very warm and friendly, and the servers are incredibly attentive and happy to recommend different menu items. I went with some friends on a Friday afternoon and there was ample parking, quick seating and service. We got a bruschetta board, and I loved having the option to choose 4 from a wide assortment, from sweet to savory. The smoked salmon and bacon, tomato, burrata bruschetta were great, and the prosciutto ricotta fig was my favorite by far. All of them were on a delicious piece of toasted bread, and I thought it was a great deal. They are great to share as they are cut into 4 pieces. The interior was dimly lit, but warm, and the bathroom was clean and well-kept. The seating was comfortable and there was a variety of options from bar to booth. Overall, I would highly recommend coming!

Start with the Crispy Cauliflower, it was cooked just right the was very tasty. The romeseco sauce was tangy and the raisins were sweet added a nice complement of texture. For the entree. I choose "Select Two" with a Half Panini and salad; the Italian Beef dip Panini (no cheese on focaccia bread), the Green Garden Chicken Chop (no cheese). The Italian Beef Dip Panini was tasty... the dip was a bit too salty. You get a choice of bread, I selected the focaccia based on recommendation... such a good choice. The Green Garden Chicken Chop is a hardy salad and definitely a garden party, each bite gave a different texture and taste, I really like this one. This can be a place for family, friends or a date.

The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.
