Customer Reviews
Barcode has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 based on over 176 reviews on Google
Barcode has really stepped up its game over the last few years. They have cleaned the place up quite well, turning it into a solid neighborhood spot. It is a smaller bar, but that adds to the laid-back vibe, and the semi-covered outdoor space is a great addition if you want some fresh air. The service here is consistently good. You can expect drinks that are poured correctly and priced appropriately—no overpriced, watered-down cocktails here. It’s an ideal spot for day drinking; I highly recommend stopping by early before the evening crowd rolls in to really enjoy the atmosphere.
What a gem! Had so much fun this past Saturday evening. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle of Montrose, this was such a pleasant surprise! Service was attentive and friendly. The vibe was just what I needed after a long day of socializing. Not too crazy and no flashy bright lights. It was literally perfect.
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.
The bartenders here are so nice, it’s always a safe and chill environment. The drinks are strong and cheap, the entertainers are amazing for drag performances.
Very calm and relaxed atmosphere out on the patio. Service is "top notch" and the staff is beautiful.
This is a super small cute gay bar known for the stiff drinks and amazing drag shows. Roxanne usually performs on Saturday nights and that's why I visit as much as I can, I'm a true fan. The drinks are stiff so 2 will do just fine. The shows are great and the ladies interact with the crowd. There are usually up and coming ladies that are learning to master their craft that also preform in between acts. It's an all around good time with music that caters to everyone.
Good spot with friendly service and nice outdoor patio. Drinks are affordable and tasty.
