    Garden party
    Sarah B.

    We went on a beautiful day. Their outdoor patio is awesome. It overlooks the water and there is a ton of space. I had a garden party and a blackberry g&t. The garden party was ok, but it felt like it was missing something. The blackberry drink was crisp and refreshing! I'd definitely order that again. Overall the experience was very pleasant. The bartender was friendly, but she was the only one hustling complicated drinks so it took around 10-15 minutes to get anything (not her fault!). I would definitely come back!

    First time to this hide out, glad we stopped by! The venue was hosting Singo Bingo, that was fun, first time for me. The bartender, Bridgette was great! She took our order prepared the drinks as asked HUGE plus. Outside, pizza was prepared as ordered. (Theres a menu but the "Mad Scientist" prepped our pizza as asked.) The bartender also made my wife a beautiful mocktail with an orchid in it. The lighting outside was relaxing and bliss. The scenery was beautiful!

    Lovely Sunday afternoon on the patio. Early, so it was quiet. Peaceful. Interesting drinks! The charcuterie board was adjusted for my pescatarian date. The bartender was super pleasant and helpful. Can't wait to come back!

    Dirty Martini w/Citadelle Gin prepared by Tiffany!

    I've heard a great deal about this place and there is no wonder...it's along the Canal (not sure which) but if you like beachy/tropical feel this is it...it has a great patio but I spent time at the bar as the patrons and bartender are as entertaining as any ambience may get be. In any case Tiffany was the bartender at this time and typical to a very talented bartender can tell you more about the liquor to select for your mixed drink (in this case a dirty Martini made with, at Tiffany's recommendation, Citadelle Gin) since I was in the mood for something botanical and it was a great recommendation! The second Martini was made with Aviation Gin which was again recommended by Tiffany as I was looking for a variation from the 1st. Bottom line, a great place for 'gourmet' drinks.

    Great Drinks & Ambiance! Can't remember the name of the drink but it was basically a PINK Negroni!

    One of the coolest bars in Kemah and it's Not just tiki drinks! Very impressive selection of spirits, plenty of specials and even karaoke! Courtney's service and cocktails were top notch!

    I'm very new to the tiki scene, having first discovered how fun the cocktails are at a distillery in San Leon. I'm so glad to have found Coco's, much closer and like the title says--on the canal! I loved being on the deck with my perfect Last Word. When the mosquitoes invited themselves to join, I really enjoyed the live music and air conditioning inside. The free pizza didn't hurt. The bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable, and our tiki favorites were on the menu (unlike another place on NASA that I will never return to).

    mai tai on left (which is creamy with coconut for some reason?) and zombie on right. not good

    Coco's is a cute little bar nestled on the canal. They have some pretty nice decor and an excellent outdoor seating area. They also have a small stage where they feature different acts and live music. We came for burlesque night. While I think this venue has great potential - it is a super cute spot - the 'tiki' drinks left us disappointed. We frequent other tiki bars in HTX, like Lei Low and Toasted Coconut, so we were extremely hopeful that this would be a local clear lake tiki option for us. We also are big followers of the Smugglers Cove book and frequent those tiki joints across the US. The drinks at Coco's were not authentic (they didn't even match the menu descriptions - i.e. the mai tai had coconut cream in it....), and not delicious. We tried two different bartenders and the results were equally as disappointing. It's a shame because they have all the right ingredients, i don't know if they need training or if they need to stick to the recipe or what. Anywho, we will probably be back for live entertainment at some point, but we will stick to non-tiki drinks. Parking is very limited, so recommend getting there very early if you're attending an event.

    I hate to ask this, but I have out-of-town company coming in basically four adults and they're very nice people, but they smoke. Is there an area outside on the patio where smoking is allowed without disturbing anyone else?

    There is - just sit outside by the canal!!

I'm all about tropical vibes so we made our way over for a nightcap. Located in a shopping center, parking won't be a problem. We were there pretty late on a Thursday night. Ambiance (4/5): Tiki bars are all about ambiance. Hawaii vibes. What's cool about The Great Kanakas Atomic Tiki Bar, outside of their excellent name, is that they're indoors but the bar makes you feel like you're actually outside. I liked the concept. Relaxed with the vibes you would expect at a tiki bar. Service (4.5/5): We sat at the bar and our bartender was attentive and friendly. She even recommended an off-the-menu drink that other folks like which was a nice touch. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet so I'm not even sure if they have food. Drinks (4/5): When you're at a tiki bar, you're looking for a creative mix of flavors with a nice presentation. I went with a cocktail with such a cool name that I couldn't say no. You'll know it when you see the menu. It's a long name, sounds very Hawaiian, and you'll have difficulty pronouncing it. You'll get a kick out of it. While the drink were solid, I've seen more elaborate tiki drinks elsewhere. I'm talking the type where fire is evolved or fancy garnishes. Overall: Clear Lake surprisingly has quite a few cool bars. This is one of them.

    We popped in briefly early on a Saturday evening, and were unimpressed. There was very little…read more"tiki" about the place other than the drink menu and the "hut" over the bar -- certainly not the music, which was pretty typical modern, and overall I just had the impression of a dingy bar. We tried a couple of drinks, and they were fine, and the bartender was patient and helpful. Perhaps it gets more interesting when it gets busier later at night, and sitting on the patio might be nice when the weather is cooler. This is just not what we're looking for in a cocktail bar, but YMMV..

When we arrived, we chose to sit upstairs to enjoy the pretty ocean view and were served right away. The vibes were great with a lively crowd, a slight breeze, sunny weather, and beach hut inspired décor. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. It is honestly impressive that they serve 50 cent oysters all day, every day, so of course we ordered three dozen. The Gulf oysters were large and fresh, and they did not skimp on the cocktail sauce or horseradish. Even though this spot is pretty far from my house, the oyster deal alone might make it worth the drive. My dad and I also ordered the Fried Mushrooms. They were fried beautifully, crispy on the outside and perfectly bite sized, which made them very addictive. Our waiter recommended the Parmesan Crusted Redfish and said it was the best item on the menu. While it was good, the Parmesan coating leaned a bit salty. That said, it was cooked well and still enjoyable. If I came back, though, I would probably try something different, like the Fish Tacos he also suggested. Overall, between the unbeatable oyster deal, friendly service, and relaxed coastal atmosphere, this restaurant makes for a fun and worthwhile outing. While not every dish was perfect, the value and setting make it a place I would happily return to, especially on a sunny day.

The staff is really nice and the decor is extravagantly kitschy reminding me of the waiting room in the Beetlejuice movie. Which makes sense given the headshrinker in that movie. Being a tiki bar, there's a vast selection of drinks ranging from $18-42 depending on the size. They gave us a complimentary entry drink and I think there was a two drink minimum. I had a Bay Breeze and a Bitter Bird. Tasted the Silver Surfer. All were okay, but I haven't been impressed by too many sweet cocktails.

Not even that, I asked for no avocado because I'm allergic and what did I find at the very bottom of it? Exactly that. So clearly they don't care about allergies! We were never checked on, any time we needed something (like a drink) we had to flag someone down. Even to pay the bill we had to go through 3 people to track down whoever was supposed to be our server. The servers were unpleasant as well, they were too busy talking to eachother to even know what's going on. I will never step foot inside of this place again, coming here in the first place was a huge mistake. Like I said, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. I bet the Denny's down the street would serve you better than this place ever could.
