"The self-described oldest leather bar in Texas, Ripcord, has been a fixture of Houston’s gay bar scene since 1982. Whether or not you’re part of the local leather community, take in Ripcord’s beautiful murals while enjoying a few vodka-flavored drinks at a spacious bar, and be sure to grab a bite from local weekend taco trucks conveniently located a few steps away on the neon-lit patio. Check out its website or Instagram for a rundown of its Pride festivities, which include kink demos, drag shows, DJ sets, scheduled speakers, and more." - Lane Gillespie
