Plush New Montrose Lounge Draws Houston’s Chicest (and Most Curious) Crowd: French Hotspot is All About the Oh Là Là

What: VIP opening of Bar Victor

Where: Bar Victor on Montrose Boulevard

PC Moment: Co-owners Jean-Pierre Gleize and Vincent Sinard, both natives of la belle France, opened the doors to their trés chic lounge for a select group of 120 influencers and sophisticates. With crystal chandeliers sparkling overhead and royal blue velvet banquettes and chairs beckoning, the entourage was treated to all things French — champagne, caviar, charcuterie and pate. Add the soulful sounds of chanteuse Lou Lou White and the spins of DJ Les Valseurs and the night had guests thinking “la vie en rose.”
