The Scene
Acid jazz and smooth, bass-adelic house music bounce off the dark-brick walls bejeweled with works of neo-pop. Cigars ornament the bar, including a display of legal Cubans. Despite the $25 pre-embargo stogies, there's no ostentation.
The Draw
The metal letters of the sign that hangs below the outdoor patio, which overlooks the heart of the Montrose, might suggest a snooty clientele and ambience, but this assumption is wrong. On weeknights, laid-back 20- and 30-somethings gather--some casual, some hip, some straight, some gay.

Privi is a great place to go for a fun night. Michael the bartender is the sweetest, but we sure miss Pam. She is one of the owners and had been there since Privi opened. Her vivacious personality and genuine friendliness to everyone who came through the door, not excluding her great attention to the perfect drinks, made everyone feel comfortable and at home. She was the reason for the popularity of Privi for seven years. Pam we miss you!!!!!!! Come back soon. We understand Pam is a single mom and is very dedicated to her beautiful daughter. Coodos to you Pam and good luck. WE STILL MISS YOU, SO COME BY FOR A VISIT MORE OFTEN

So I've been going to Prive for years - and it's always charming. Some idiots show up dressed as patrons and want to impress their guests, and they are accomodated. But the real thrill is getting to know the regular crowd. Upscale, not pretentious, and there to have fun. It's never a disappointment, whether it's Michael serving the drinks, or Pam. They are both friendly, entertaining, and always offer a heavy pour!

Poor bar service, had to beg for a beer, was there at happy hour and was not charged happy hour prices for mixed drinks or beer; pouring on mixed drinks was scanty. Overall not happy with the place. Parking not a plus either.

Where to Sit:
When the patio is open, take advantage of it. The Montrose-Westheimer view affords all kinds of fascinating sightings, from flamboyant cross-dressers to street-punk runaways.
Know Before You Go:
Weekends draw a slightly older assembly, with a slightly larger crossover from the Fairview gay bar scene.
