“Always a good time! Food was good and service was even better!!! Can’t wait to go back! We went with a big party and were still able to be seated right away!!“

“Great place. Service is friendly. Sammy G himself came out and said hello. Food was great. I had the fish sandwich, which was excellent, and the wings were fantastic.“

“do not get the pizza. The crust is so hard it could possibly break your teeth used to have the best crust in town but something happened crust is too dense, not fluffy and crisp. The way it used to be.“

“Love it here! Vibes are great and the owners are so sweet!“

“my first time was Friday and me and My sister in law had fun this is a very good chill environment and the staff so nice and funny amazing vibes and you can not find that at many places and the drinks are bomb asf“

“Laken & her staff are literally the greatest at what they do. They are visionaries, they are re-inventing themselves & their cocktails daily… and I respect anyone who takes ongoing education in their respective field seriously. They are the most uplifting, hilarious, fun, warm and inviting group ever - and I can personally say I have never had a bad drink from this place. This is extended family for sure.“

“Had a great time at Coco's on the Canal, was my first time there. Some girlfriends and I went for Singo Bingo for Galantine's night. The bingo was a blast. A couple of complaints. #1, there was no reservation signs on any of the couch areas when I got there. I was the only one in the place so I picked a couch that was open, sat there for an hour with 1 of my girlfriends, no one told me it was reserved and when the party that reserved it arrived, I had to move. Not very happy about that. In that whole hour I sat there. I spoke with the bartenders, not one time did they tell me that seating space was reserved. Secondly, it was Galantine's Singo Bingo night. A guy won the black out bingo both games. That's total BS!!! It was Galentines night for God's sake!!! If they play they should've at least had their spouse go up and claim the prize instead of parading around and gloating AND especially when you have every Thursday night, singo bingo. boo!!! 👎👎👎👎“

“Good music. Great crowd. Fun place.“

“Great drinks and customer service“

“best place ever. beer wings and only place around with the Pump It Up dance simulator BUT it's absurd that the volume of a dance machine is so low that you cannot hear anything. please fix that, I don't want to drive one hour to Tomball 😭“

“friendly atmosphere & great drinks!! ❤️ the music on Sundays...“

“I’m gonna drop some names of people that are very well known, respected, and loved here at Palapas KemahPaige, Cory & Tory !! ❤️‍?This is one of the most loved, and popular bars in Kemah. The reason being is because of its employees.Most of the customers are locals and have been going there since the beginning. ( I be going there for 10 years )Every employee always take care of their customers with respect and professionalism, but also with that southern hospitality Thank you tolerating us degenerates for 21 years .“

“One of my top favorite venues. I’ve been seeing shows here a dozen times a year for the last decade I’ve lived here. Great spot to catch a show, the sound is usually dialed in well, they never feel oversold in r overly crowded, even when sold out and reasonably priced drinks. Food is not good, but there’s plenty of places to eat around it.“

“This place, from its owner to the entire team, especially the manager, Trin who’s just an amazing person but so are each and everyone of them…..and the music… omgosh y’all my lil brother Jacob rips his guitar? This is one place you must hang out in a bit to see its true cool vibe but every visit is a wonderland, I likey!“

“This place is absolutely amazing! The wedding cake snowcone with cream is simply irresistible; it has the perfect blend of flavors that make it a must-try! ? Derek, the owner, is such a vibrant and cheerful person. His enthusiasm and genuine love for his customers truly stand out, making each visit feel special. It’s clear that he puts a lot of heart into everything he does! God bless you all.??“

“We were driving by Kemah and decided to stop by for a beer. We walked around the various bars in the area, and most of them were very empty, probably because it was still early (around 630p) on a Saturday night. But when we walked past this place, it was buzzing. There were 3 or 4 small groups in their outdoor terrace, and you could feel the energy. Music was playing but not getting much in the way of conversation, so it was a nice atmosphere. We went inside to grab a beer. The bartender was busy, and when we asked about their IPA beers, she said we should look at the board. The electronic beer menu was flipping fast, so I could not quite go through one page before it got changed. We saw one we wanted to try, but after she walked back to the tap, she returned and let us know they were out. We finally got one we liked after a second try. We then walked out to the patio where the atmosphere was a bit more fun.

Of the places in the three blocks we walked, this seemed the most fun. If it was not for the electronic beer menu changing on me, I would give it 5 stars.“

“we go on Friday night and sing it's a wonderful atmosphere and ROCKIN GOOD TIME, I would encourage anyone that enjoys fun and awesome music, Bartenders are Awesome so are the DJ and everyone that works thi“

“Roberta did great last night & I'm sure she can't be at the tables for long but her coming to check on me so many times not just to asks if I needed anything , but conversating with me even for 7 minutes.. she made me smile 😊 that's what I love ❤️ to keep a conversation going no matter how many times she came to the table , my smile never left my face. Beautiful smile, beautiful person she is 🥰 thank you“

“good atmosphere and wonderful people.“

“Great group of people! Bartenders were great!!“

“It’s very nice bar to chill and have good time and drinks“

“All around fantastic experience. I was very surprised. This was the first time I've ever eaten at a restaurant associated with a golf course. I am not a golfer. The food was top-notch, and the service was fast and friendly. My diet Pepsi glass was always full. A business associate brought me here. I would have never found the place on my own. The dining room was clean, wide open with plenty of space, and provided a beautiful view of a golf course.“

“It's a great social place to hang out. The waitresses and bartenders are very nice and they remember all of their customers.So when you go in and they know who you are they know exactly what you drink exactly what you want and they have it ready for you awesome place to be.“

“2 of the best bartenders in the business in one spot ! Great little chill bar to have a drink shoot some pool or hit up some shuffleboard ! Always a great time ! Brandy and Jess definitely make this little gem a great place to hang out day or night.“

“Ronnie's has been an integral part of keeping live music LIVE! in the region. Bring your support for this legendary venue whenever you can!“

“If your looking for a nice place to be welcomed as a friend and a Non stressful environment. then this is the spot . The service was great , from the staff checking on me back to back , always right on time for another drink or pretty much anything. The steak was cooked perfectly and was a great price. I was able to buy an extra one to go right before they sold out. they are on served on thursdays , so i would be there . The music is good but over all with everyone just trying to have a good time and no one causing drama and messing up the night . i have to say its a good place to have fun and chill after a long day.“

“Seriously, best Chicago dog I’ve ever had! I’m telling everyone to try it!“

“its great there it's always a hey look who's here when you walk in and before you can even say anything they already know what kind of beer you drink it's on the counter in a cuzzi ready for you and the bartenders are always smiling“

“Awesome bar to hang with friends. It is local and doesn’t get too crowded. Pool tables available and their pizza is great! Drinks are fair prices! Overall a must check out hole in the wall type of bar! And shout out to the awesome bartender Lincoln!“

“Brittany is the best bar tender and very pretty !!!!“

“Late night scene for sure. During the day, fear and loathing vibe. "a place that symbolizes the end of the American Dream and the transition from the hopeful.... " . At night, gets real! Place bartenders go after their bar/ grill close and want let lose. Not downtown relaxation w/mezcal & Lysergic diethylamide. Hometown identities prevail. Good crowd. Sureal atmosphere. Deserves more ipo. Good stuff“

“Great coffee and yogurt. The owner is super friendly. ❤️“

“The Greatest Bartenders ever ❣️“

“This is my local Nobi in disguise! Love their selection of craft beer, the outdoor dining area is perfect after a long day and the Bahn Mi sandwiches are perfect. They have cool craft sodas too! Check it out soo !“

“This place is a hidden gem. Literally. It's behind a chicken restaurant and surrounded by gorgeous trees. The vibe is SUPER laid back, and you can tell this is a local favorite. They are an extension of the restaurant, so they serve the same food.The bartender was also extremely friendly, and made some awesome drinks. Also, the smell of the food cooking at the restaurant is *chef's kiss*“

“Best dive bar experience Pasadena has to offer. They have six pool tables, and they host tournaments regularly. Also there are four bull shooter dart boards with dart tournaments held regularly.On the weekends they have karaoke nights and is always a great time.The one downside is that this place is very…very smoky.Lastly, the drink prices are the cheapest I’ve seen anywhere.“

“We have not been to Republic House in many years. After meeting Karina she encouraged us to give it a try again, because they have large selection of beers and Guinness on tap, which I love. Plus, Karina makes the best Bloody Mary’s, and they are not stingy with the olives. Now we swing by for a couple of drinks almost every weekend.“

“If you are stuck tagging along on a long day of shopping, stop by and get something to help make the experience of being in a crowded mall soo much better! Can be a bit pricey, as for about $17, you can get you a large Cat 5 drink, with an extra shot of course. $14 without that extra shot.“

“very nice building large parking area they also have two pool tables two dart boards a golf game karaoke every Friday full bar so you can choose whatever kind of alcohol you like just to find atmosphere very nice staff awesome owner Regina“
