F Bar had taken customers from the JR's Bar and Grill/South Beach Houston/Montrose Mining Company/Meteor bar family, and the latter business family banned employees who began working at F Bar from patronizing JR/South Beach/Meteor. After the JR's business family enacted a fee on the shuttle between Meteor and the other bars, F Bar began compensating for the shuttle fee.{{cite web|last=Oaklander|first=Mandy|url=http://www.houstonpress.com/2011-05-19/news/the-mayor-of-montrose/|title=Mayor of Montrose|newspaper=Houston Press|date=2011-05-19|accessdate=2022-10-01|page=[https://web.archive.org/web/20110718090836/http://www.houstonpress.com/2011-05-19/news/the-mayor-of-montrose/5/ 5]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110521082239/http://www.houstonpress.com/2011-05-19/news/the-mayor-of-montrose/ |archive-date=2011-05-21 }}
