Ripcord

I’ve been going to Ripcord for a while now, and it’s always a solid time. The vibes are consistently on point, laid-back but still full of energy, like a place where anything can happen but always feels familiar. The drinks? Strong, well-made, and honestly priced better than most spots in the area. The music is always hitting too,good mix that keeps the night alive without missing a beat. It’s one of those places you keep coming back to, not just for the drinks or music, but for the atmosphere. Montrose nights just feel different here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ripcord is always a solid choice when you just want a good drink in a chill environment. I really appreciate the calming, dark atmosphere inside—it’s perfect for decompressing. The bartenders are attentive and quick, and the drink prices are standard for the neighborhood. One of the best things about this place is the crowd. It feels very welcoming and non-contentious, without the cliquey judgment you find at some of the other bars down the street. They’ve also done a great job updating the outdoor patio; there is plenty of seating and nice little areas for private conversations. Note that they do have drag shows, which isn't really my thing, but they are usually late enough at night that you can enjoy a quiet evening before they start.

A leather bar that has found a beautiful balance. They've managed to find way to bring in a tamer crowd and keep their intended clientele mostly happy

If I could leave a zero I would! This hippie kid at the door would not let my husband in with us (a group of 20) we explained that non of us are driving, he said he would get water, but they didn’t care. The “guy” publicly shamed him right there i. Front of the line and I had to go in and all of us left! I will NEVER go or recommend this bar!

Great location for a drink and just to hang out during the week. It does get busy on weekends. It's well laid out, with a nice big patio for relaxing. Great music and friendly staff make this one of the best bars in Montrose.
