Five Fun Things to do in Montrose

Montrose is known around Houston for being delightfully eccentric, cozy, and full of culture. The next time youre in the neighborhood, you cant miss out on these five fun things to do in Montrose.

1. Menil Collection
   A budget-friendly option (read: free admission), the Menil Collection is a popular local art attraction that consists of several galleries, a bistro, a park, and a bookstore. Art lineups in the main building change often, while other buildings feature more permanent installations. The Menil Collection is a wonderful place to go to to enjoy art at no cost.

2. Buffalo Bayou Park

This park is one of the most famous in Houston and its no wonder why: Buffalo Bayou Park offers a restorative break from city life. The 160-acre park features bike paths, walking trails, art installations, performance and play areas, and incredible views of the bayou. Its also commonly regarded as one of the best spots in Houston to take your dog since it has small and large enclosures. Buffalo Bayou Park is a great place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon among nature without straying from the city.

3. Rent and Ride a Bike
   Speaking of Buffalo Bayou Park, you can ride a bike on the trails. Using Houstons B-Cycle, you can rent a bike from multiple locations and dock it at another station when youre finished. The first 30 minutes are free, and the residential streets of Montrose are perfect for cruising. Our trails and bayou systems are connected, so you could start in Montrose, but easily find yourself in Downtown, Heights, Texas Medical Center or even farther by the time you finish.

4. Stages Repertory Theater
   Stages Repertory Theater has been a staple in the Houston theater community for decades since 1978, in fact. Its known for its bold year-round plays, musicals, and modern takes on classics. The theater is small, so theres no need to worry about grabbing a good seat to enjoy the show.

5. Pub Crawl

There are so many amazing bars in the Montrose area that theres an annual pub crawl every Halloween. Its worth your time to check them out. Griffs is a neighborhood staple tucked away off W. Main, just like Catbirds, a divey spot to hide and have a drink. Looking for something with more energy? Check out Present Company or Boheme. Looking for live music? Rudyards is the place for you. For those looking for a craft brew or cocktail, visit Hay Merchant and Anvil Bar and Refuge. Regardless of the spot you should choose, youre sure to wet your whistle!
