    The "Missing Flip Flop" drink is so refreshing and a perfect taste of summer! The owners are so kind and welcoming! Perfect stop on the beach for a drink and hangout. They have live music on the weekends and karaoke! The service is quick! Upstairs you have a view of the ocean and the bay. Super cute and laid back.

    Views!

    Great food, drinks and views!! Bring your pups and enjoy the ambiance and a few drinks!

    Chicken teriyaki, white rice, and the best broccoli I have ever had!

I guess you can classify the area as EaDo. I don't remember a dedicated parking lot, but there is alot of street parking in the area. Looks can be deceiving. It has a divey look on the outside, with a little patio and picnic tables. Walking in, it was the complete opposite. I'm not saying it's upscale inside, but it's clean, has dim lighting with string lights, quirky decorations, random seating throughout, a couple of pool tables, a jukebox, etc. The NOLA vibes were there with all the frozen drink machines lined up behind the bar. We came pretty early in the night and the place was busy. We got lucky and was able to take up some space at the bar. Customer service was great. I knew coming in I was going to go for a frozen drink of some sort, but they got it all. It's almost like they had an identity crisis and just decided to put all the drink varieties on the menu. They have tiki bar type drinks that are rum forward. They have the tequila category with margaritas, palomas, etc. They have all kinds of draft and bottled beer. Then of course all the frozen concoctions. You can get them as is with one flavor, or get one of their mixes with extra shots of flavored liquor or tooters as they like to call it. I tried the Sexxx Waxxx. The name alone seemed intriguing. It was a mix of one of their mango drinks along with strawberry mixes. Delicious and it packed a punch as well. I took it easy and stopped after one. They also have food on deck. They got Po'Boys, chicken strips and other bar foods. My friends swore by the tator tots. I got a large order to share and even though they looked like regular tots, they seasoned and cooked them to perfection and they were addicting. I need to come back and try their other stuff as well. Overall, great spot. I wish it was closer to home because places like this make me happy. I will definitely be back when in the area!

Everything from the service to the ambiance and the music was amazing. We chose to sit at the bar where we were immediately greeted by Tyler where he educated us on the establishment and the type of drinks they serve. We started off with the Elixir flight where he chose what flavors to give us and we were delighted by every flavor. We then tried the bula bomb, a drink that we chugged. Lastly I had the Zombie, which added a little fire to our night along with a Mojo-jito. Every drink was delicious, and Tyler was so great that he turned it into an fun experience for us. Hubby and I look forward to visiting again!

It almost felt like a coffee shop... just with a different specialty beverage taking center stage. The atmosphere was cozy, relaxed, and welcoming. The staff were friendly and did a great job helping guests find something that matched their taste preferences, which I always appreciate. After grabbing a drink, I found a seat and waited for bingo to begin. While I was sitting there, I couldn't help but notice that this place seems to have built quite the community of regulars. There were gentle laughs floating around the room, inside jokes being shared, and an overall sense that people genuinely enjoyed spending time there. The lounge is also pet-friendly, which was a fun surprise. Looking around, I noticed a large selection of board games and card games available, along with a pool table tucked toward the back. It definitely feels like a place designed for people to settle in and stay awhile. When bingo started, it was well organized and a lot of fun. The prizes were actually worth winning, too which unfortunately I did not accomplish. Whomp whomp. lol Overall, I enjoyed my visit and can absolutely see why people become regulars here. While I'm not sure it would be a spot I'd frequently visit on my own, I do think it shines as a place to gather a few friends, sip on a drink, play some games, and enjoy a laid-back evening together. If you're looking for high-energy nightlife, this probably isn't it. But if you're looking for good company, cozy vibes, and a community feel, this lounge definitely has its charm.

My family and I were actually out to go strawberry picking but ultimately did not meet our expectations. We were all hungry and by a search happened to find Landshark Bar & Grill. Interesting was the location next to Margaritaville. The menu is a couple of selections but ultimately decided to go with the Seafood platter that had the beer batter fish, fries, coleslaw, coconut shrimp, fried shrimp with pineapple aioli, cocktail sauce and tartar sauces. Good selections and a nice crispy bite to each. Overall I think visiting Landshark Bar & Grill. The food ok and the atmosphere nice since it is overlooking Lake Conroe. Service was ok as well and I did appreciate manager stopping by the table to ask if everything was good. Maybe there is a cheeseburger in paradise. Nothing to worry about and it was a pleasant visit.

My dining companions and I are veterans of the restaurant, catering & hospitality industry. The fish on the fish & chips was inedible. The first attempt was burnt beyond recognition. The second attempt was boxed, previously frozen fish patties that were under-cooked. The only thing edible on the plate was the "chips." The steak sandwich consisted of a slab of flank steak that could have replaced the sole of a shoe. Flank is the wrong cut unless it is sliced, thinly, cross-grain. It was also poorly seasoned and bland. We ordered a crispy chicken sandwich that wasn't crispy, it was grilled. This entre' and the fries were the only acceptable dishes served. We asked if the crab cakes were made with lump crab. Our server checked with the cook and informed us it was imitation crab (pollock). I spoke with the manager to let her know about the experience. "You can't fix it if you don't know what is wrong." I was offered a complimentary meal on our next visit. I told the manager that wasn't necessary as we are just visiting the area. I waited a while for the check while my companions went to get our car. The server finally delivered the check and the two inedible dishes were deleted from the bill. I paid and tipped our lovely server more than than the total check would been. It wasn't her fault.

They have a good amount of tables so even though there were a lot of people there it didn't feel packed. Our server was great! He was a bartender inside and worked our group of about 16 people at the same time. We never lacked for drinks or food at all. Our area had at least 3 TVs so I was able to catch every sporting event that was going on while hanging out, it was a great time. I tried the steak fingers and some crawfish, both were great! The steak fingers had nice crisp to them and the crawfish was boiled well and had good flavor. Every drink I tried was delicious, I tried a margarita and could have kept sipping those but opted to go with draft beer instead. There are so many menu options I definitely want to come back to try more food and drinks. They have an area with a pool table and darts, it looked nice but I didn't hang out there. Bathrooms were pretty clean and readily available, no lines even when the place was packed. They also have plenty of parking.

The service was horrible, we sat there being passed by at least 6 different servers for the first 15 mins with no acknowledgment, no drinks and not even handed menus at the very least. When we finally got to order it took at least 30 mins to get to us. The mozzarella sticks are straight out of a freezer bag, you can tell, and the spinach wrap was soggy. 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.
