About this place Barcode

Barcode, a gay bar, sits at 817 Fairview Street in Montrose, Houston's traditional gay neighbourhood. It's open daily from late morning until 2am. Reviewers praise the friendly staff and decent drinks, but don't expect to find much info online - there's no website. You'll find a cluster of other gay bars along Fairview and Pacific Street, just a few blocks away. If Barcode is quiet, it's easy to move on to another spot. Montrose bars are known to open and close or rebrand fairly often, so it's a good idea to check recent reviews or call ahead before heading out. The address is 817 Fairview Street, and it's open until 2am.

Not a large place. It's much easier to find seating outside on the patio than inside.

Friend orders 2 drinks it's $21 I order the next round same drinks $32 why is it more expensive for me I didn't tip. You may get overcharged being force to pay a different price ask to see itemized bill.
