Not mentioned yet, although it was not in Montrose, was Dave's. An upstairs gay dance club in Rice Village. I was there a few times in 1962, On the north side of the Village, very close to the high rise bank there now, was a "speak-easy" type gay bar with a view hole in the front door. You had to know someone to get in, or at least convience the doorman that you were gay. I don't remember the name.
Also, the Pink Elephant (close to San Jacinto and Jefferson), Simpson's Diner (Main @ Bell) and the famous drag bar on Bell, behind Simpson's Diner.
Twins, Bacchus, Chicken Coop, Numbers, Etc.
