I want to bring this to the attention to my black gay and lesbian men and women of Houston Texas let me start off by saying you guys are so misinformed about what's going on at this bar you guys are like zombies when it comes to this bar let me educate you guys on a little something number one think about it there's not one black bartender at either one of these bars at this white man owns not one black bartender and neither one of the bars that this white man owns you might have one black DJ when you have 99% of the black people who go there don't even think about it I think about it because I've been to the club business a long time I see it why not have black bartenders all the blacks you have there are security that's it they're not good enough to wait on their own people at least one or two black bartenders let's talk about the food truck you got 99% of the people who come there are black why not for the month of February have a black food truck there I've been told don't know if it's true but I've been told from a very good source that they only really don't want black people in there I understand as a black man I understand we we cut up from time to time but what I don't understand is and I shouldn't really be pushing this man because well we won't go there but there's another bar around the corner call formerly hamburger Mary's white owner who has a black lover who really hate us to the black community but we don't go there maybe we don't go there cuz they charge too damn much but anyway that's a whole another story but think about it you know we don't we do things in a black community and we just don't think about what we're doing you know we have the power to tell this man look we need at least one or two black bartenders in here we don't just do security and check people for weapons so either one of these bars needs put two black bartenders in there or something needs to change but if not I hate to tell you I just it probably won't change cuz y'all don't care and somebody will go up under this post and make some excuse to why we can't have at least a black food truck once out of the month or maybe like I say the month of February for Black History month or doing June for June 10th weekend Wake up black people Houston just goes for Dallas as well Wake up wake up we got to do better will we

Was in Houston for two days and this was one of the best parts. I’m a New Yorker and have to say that the style game at this establishment on a Sunday night is IT.Will be back soon

Fire all around. As a straight woman who doesn’t like clubs, this was the absolute vibe! Fire DJ, playing all the legit hits and not this new fake mumble rap/music mess

Normally I have fun here but my last few experiences have been poor, the catty behavior of patrons to the antagonizing attitudes of security & staff is beginning to become too much. I say this as someone who regularly visits this bar. Hopefully things turn around soon.Edit: I came here again on 8/2/24 and the security told me I couldn’t sit in the chair anymore and made me stand up. Totally ruined my experience, and I immediately left afterwards.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Crocker is definitely a vibe! Went here on my trip to Houston last weekend and loved every minute of it. Get there early to avoid having to wait in a lonnnggg line. But what else can you expect at the hottest bar in town?!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Con: Bottom shelf liquor is being poured into top shelf liquor bottles here. Folks, you're NOT getting actual Titos. Or even Casamigos . What you're gonna actually get is one hell of a HANGOVER from drinking the cheap stuff this establishment is serving 🤢. Shady business practice SMH. Fix this, or TABC will be notified.Pro: Bartenders are quick. Mixed crowd. Great music. Good security.

I frequent Crocker as I'm bar hopping, enjoying the wonderful night life of Montrose in Houston, the energy, the pulse of the crowd, bodies moving in concert with the music, sweat glistening on everyone, moving your feet, swaying the hips ,beverages on lips don't forget to tip

The new set-up is the worst! Security doesn’t know how to talk to patrons…if you cannot provide a safe space then only let people inside!!!

I have been visiting this place for a long time.My first interaction with the owner was today.He was extremely arrogant and rude.He may be bitter because he’s in a wheelchair.Terrible way to treat his customers.

I've been coming here for a few weeks since moving to Houston. I like the vibe. I am not sure if the bar next door, 2.0 is associated but I see some of the same staff over there and I like that one too, especially Tazzzz with his sexy self! Anyway, my comment is more to the safety. I felt bad for the way that police they have there as security was treated. It is trult sad that my people have to act like that. That cop showed GREAT restraint in not beating tha black off that dude after he psuhed the cop down. What is crazy amazing is that the cop didn't even arrest the dude and let him go home while the whole time his friends are calling the cop all kinds of names trying to get him to react. Kudos to the people that are trying to keep us safe. It is sad that people can't just go out into public with a little home training and behave. Will definitely be going back tonight. They say Sunday is LIT!

On 14 January 2023, a Saturday night, a woman was assaulted in the bathroom of this place by an officer, and the staff said nothing ! She was drug out of the bar because she would not leave her sick friend alone with an officer. He took it upon himself to enter the bathroom stall and manhandled her! She has scratches due to being drug out and her foot was bloody. We talk about friends not leaving each other in time of need and this bar totally did not get that! A manager even mocked the situation! You can find the entire video on IG @liqueology & @deesse.kay. We will not be quiet about this!

This place deserves a 1 star only because of the BIG FAT MEAN security guy at the front door. Yes, I mean every word I said. He is bald and has a mustache....

Horrible my brother was just fried for having a medical emergency he has health issues and they was aware of that and just fired him we all need to make sure they know right from wrong. The news media will be going live this weekend to the Montrose area

This place is disgusting, this officer disrespects the LGBTQ+ community to the MAX! I was walking out of this establishment feeling good until I was called a d**k HUNGRY POWER Bottom by a horrible crew member/security officer. I was so hurt to hear someone talk to me in this manner representing “Crocker” a place I go to often! I will NOT be returning here and I suggest the entire LGBTQ+ community stand together and not support “Crocker!” Please reframe from socializing at this club until the security officer is terminated and serious changes are implemented going forward.

Entirely racist. The Hispanics were rude and I will never go back. I asked for a email address for the owner and they told me to google it.Black men shouldn’t be seen as problematic in the Deep South because they’ve requested for an email address to contact the manger addressing their concerns.

The staff is rude and rushed but this is a classic Houston Gay bar that will never go out of style. Would like to see a better cocktail menu, super basic

Great time. The crowd was 90% Black, but the only Black employees I saw were on Security. Are there no Black LGBTQ+ Bartenders in Houston?

Sunday funday! The music was everything. Brought some friends from out of state. Started at Hamburger Mary's which we were bored but had a great time at Crockers. Thanks for representing Houston that night!

Went on Friday 12/10/2021. Small place. DJ was pretty bad. Notice that all the bartenders were White Caste even though many of the patrons were Brown and Black Caste. A busperson picking up drinks was rude and pushy, wanting me to buy more drinks after I already bought one that had a stale taste coming from a old ingredient.

Crocker Bar held a great reputation! Started with the awesome/friendly/attentive owner and staff members. Then it got overcome by others, “patrons” have not manners, no home training! In other words they are turning the place like it is at Scary Mary’s or something more scary. Please do not embarrassed a good/sacred place for anyone else.

I very much enjoyed this bar! The security guard outside is professional and a gentleman. Great ambience, and the music was diverse. The bar staff were very attentive and the drinks very much worth it and at a great price! Outside patio seating available. If you want somewhere with great drinks and a great conversation this is the place to go!
