South Beach, a popular Montrose dance club and nightclub, announced it will officially reopen July 15 at 810 Pacific St., Houston, after being shut down for more than four years.
According to a July 1 press release, South Beach originally opened in 2001 but shut down in 2018 for renovations. When the nightclub was prepared to open again, the pandemic changed its plans.
“We remained closed as we waited for the majority of the population to become vaccinated for protection against COVID,” South Beach owner Charles Armstrong said in the release. “Two years ago, we were in unchartered territory, and I had a moral problem packing a dance floor full of people in the middle of a health crisis.”
Armstrong is known as the “mayor of Montrose” and is also responsible for another famous LGBTQ club, JR’s Bar & Grill—the area’s oldest continuously open gay bar, the release said.
