Montrose

eclectic arts · 77006

Houston's bohemian heart and the LGBTQ axis the rest of the city quietly orbits. Westheimer west of Montrose Boulevard is the closest thing this town has to a walkable date corridor: indie bars, vintage shops, late-night taquerias, the kind of patio where conversation actually outlasts the second round. The crowd skews creative-class, queer-friendly by default, and refreshingly uninterested in the Energy Corridor dress code. Tradeoffs: street parking is a contact sport, rent has gentrified the bohemia somewhat, and weekend Westheimer gets loud. Still the city's most date-dense neighborhood, and the one that rewards walking instead of valet.
