Fantastic drinks and atmosphere. Great for just a date night or with a group of friends.

My husband and I tried this place today. I think that Clear Lake really needs a place like this. It is very classy and they have fun cocktails. Think downtown.... We will be back. My husband loved his Old Fashioned and I had my go to whisky and ginger. I will go back to try all their champagne cocktails read more

Preamble Craft Cocktail Lounge - This is an old fashioned that Neal ordered at Preamble! The drinks are excellent! - Lounges Near Me - Webster, Texas

Clear Lake needed some fresh blood, and this place is perfect if you come at the right time. The drink menu is great- lots of unique cocktails and great beers- and the bartenders are super friendly. I would say they border on cheesy though- some of the decor could be a little more authentic, and the crowd is still... well, Clear Lake's finest. Other than those few and really unimportant details, it's a great place for groups and a night out! read more

Preamble Craft Cocktail Lounge - Great new bar in clear lake with plenty of space - Lounges Near Me - Webster, Texas

This bar is a very chill setting. Music is on a decent volume to still have a good chat with your company. We thought it was a beer bar, but it only had seven taps of local Houston beers. More craft style cocktails. There are lounge chairs, tables, and the bar for different seating arrangements. I will definitely go back. read more

Finally! A classy mixology bar & lounge in Clear Lake! The atmosphere is gorgeous and the drinks are spectacular! Very prohibition style! It's a great spot to have a girls night or a romantic date. It has the feel of a fancy bar you'd find downtown or on Westheimer. I can't wait to go back soon! Thank you for bringing such a fantastic place to Clear Lake! Long overdue! read more

We had an absolutely great time at Preamble. The DJ was spinning great songs (hit after hit: mix of current hits - Travis Scott, Post Malone - with older songs - Aha, Depeche Mode - that were fun to both dance and sing to), and had a good selection of drinks. My only complaint was that they didn't have Topo Chico - guys, this is a staple in Houston and a must have. They did offer another drink called Rain Water (?). Other than that, the atmosphere was amazing and we all said we wished we had gone there first before finding it toward the end of the night. We will definitely be going back again. read more

This was a great hole in the wall... bartender Marshall was great, food was good, atmosphere was legit... the outside of this business was deceiving. I'll definitely be back to give prime rib night a shot. read more

Extremely slow service. Appetizers were great! We had the cannon balls and pretzels. They tasted amazing. The beer selection was very lacking--10 beers on tap. At a gastropub? Hmmm...We sat directly at the bar and for some reason we struggled to get any service. Finally had to flag down the owner to get a second round of beer. We were going dry. Eventually we were served the beer after we had asked to close out. Owner was generous and apologetic. Owner was hustling and I give him credit for that but the bartenders were terrible. Disappointed to say the least read more

The bartender was very skilled and is willing to make custom concoctions. Even breathed fire! Classy relaxing music selection, very clean and comfortable lounge setting. Their happy hour specials are excellent and run 4-8pm everyday. I enjoyed an old fashioned and peach smash, while my wife had a pillow talk and custom mango beverage styled after a mojito. read more

Sage is an awesome bartender. I love cocktails and have tried them everywhere. I am definitely impressed with the customer service and quality of the cocktails. We had mostly whiskey cocktails off the menu and I will definitely be back! read more

This little hide out is worth a short ride from Houston to NASA and you can dress the part! Ladies wear then tight black dresses from the 30's and wrap pearls and boas with stylish hats and shoes. Guys, wear your derby or flat caps with pinstripes and suspenders read more

Vibe is something unique compared to the rest of the Clear Lake area. Very low key, good drinks, good food, friendly staff! If you're looking for a nice quiet night out with your friends or an intimate setting with someone special, this place is it! read more

The drinks are great here. I only wish the service would match the quality of drinks served. Why are they always so mad?

I really just love this place. I was here on a Monday night where I don't think a lot of bars get a ton of traffic, but the bartender made it so much fun and was super attentive. I was planning on going in for a drink to catch up on work and I was there for a few hours because I enjoyed myself so much. Really good people at this establishment and I would totally recommend. read more

Just not prepared for an evening. Beer was hot. Long lines for bar service. Only one bartender. No live music when event flyer said live music. Craft beers that had a couple local bottled but mostly just standard taps. read more

Bad service. No response to complaints. My comments & that of another with the same experience with the same person were deleted TWICE. My complaint must be about someone who CAN'T be reprimanded. Hmmmm. I really liked this place. Now I CAN'T bring myself to walk in the door & that is upsetting. Man up! read more

Webster has received a gem with Preamble lounge & Craft house. They have exquisite attention to detail and costumer service. These bartenders certainly know how to make a drink. Sage and Carlo are always consistent.Their Presentation is perfection, and the pour is always heavy. They are truly masters of their craft! Do yourself a favor and try out this great local experience!! read more

Preamble is a great place for drinking and socializing! Their craft cocktails are one of kind. read more

The atmosphere is just what you're looking for when you go out on the town with friends or just the wife. The staff is extremely knowledgeable on tasty drinks and they take the time to make your drink the best tasting beverage it can be. From sips to gulps I even enjoyed the ice! read more

How are you going to have one bartender for the entire bar and tables on Friday night? We will now never return due to waiting over thirty minutes for a beer and mixed drink. read more

On 9/29/17 we arrived to the bar at 7:30. There were 2 male bartenders and 1 female. There where 14 customers the bartenders made there rounds looked up at us but didn't attend us. At one point the female bartender cleaned the tables around us with out making eye contact. After 15 min the shorter heavy set bartender cleaned and fixed the chairs of the table in front of us and still did not attend us. At this point we left! I did notice that I was the only there besides the bar back that didn't look Caucasian. Horrible experience! read more

Overall great experience. Told bartender what kind of drink I was feeling and he created a unique drink that was excellent. Everyone in our group had awesome drinks. Keep up the good work. read more

Preamble was a funny little hangout. We walked in to great music playing and a moderately filled bar space. The menu had about 10 different cocktails with each one sounding great. Placing our order was probably the least desirable part of our visit. The bartenders were rude and did not seem eager to help unless you were a regular that they knew. The prices were fair with cocktails ranging from $8-$13, if I remember correctly. The only reason they did not get 5 stars was due to the bartenders. read more

Me and my love went here for a couple of cocktails and I really enjoyed myself. It was a Friday night, if I remember correctly, around 10pm. There was no cover charge, plenty of parking and a DJ!! Seriously people, what more could you ask for?! Oh, good drinks....yes, they have that too. I'm a martini kind of girl (pinky up) and I didn't spot one on the menu but before I stormed out of there in a fit of rage I decided to give the bartender a shot at making me one. He asked me about my likes and dislikes as far as vodka and flavors and he whipped me up one of the best cucumber martinis I've ever had! It was so refreshing and organic. He literally peeled the cucumber in front of me. The crowd was rather large but there is plenty of seating here. The DJ played a nice mix of pop music. I have no complaints and plan to return soon. Population- 30+ In age 80% Caucasian 10% Hispanic 5% African American 5% Asian/Other 100% a great night read more

Great bar food and an amazing selection of whiskey that ranges from America to Taiwan!!! The bartender is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to teach us the basics of whiskey. The setting is perfect for an intimate date night or a place to meet up with a friend for a glass of top-shelf liquor​. read more

This maybe the only bar of its kind in the Webster area. If not, if definitely was the first of its kind here. The atmosphere is awesome, the drinks are made with skilled bartenders and it's just a nice classy place to grab a sophisticated drink read more

I had the best drinks at this bar. At first I almost didn't go because I thought they had enforced strict dress code but this place is casual. They had good music, unique drinks at reasonable price with a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend asking for Blaire she was outstanding! She is a the best mixologist at this bar. Great attitude with a great sense of humor. I will be definitely visiting this place again. read more

We celebrated a planned event for about 20 on Saturday and there are simply no words that can describe how fantastic it was. We wanted a cool venue and this was the place - the music was at a level that we could carry on a conversation, but the cocktails and food were the stars of the evening. Every single guest said the same thing - we didn't know about this place but we are definitely coming back. The mixologists were creating cocktails that are beyond description - so good that we will never be able to drink anywhere else again. Ryan does a fantastic job in the kitchen with exquisite small bites that we just keep ordering. Every staff member went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the event, the level of staff attention was unsurpassed. So impressed that we are already planning our next event and guest list that will bring more new people to this great discovery. Big shout outs to the staff - Ryan, Sage, Gus and the ladies. Josh has made Preamble the coolest place on the planet and ANYONE who hasn't made this place on the top of their list to visit, doesn't have any idea what they are missing. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Preamble Lounge!!!! read more

Delectable cocktails, knowledgeable mixologist with a fine appreciation for detail. Yet not a friendly staff which is why we ranked it a generous 3. Too bad too cause its great parking. Not in a rush to be back soon, I recommend checking out other new hot spots in the area such as volcano room who also serves amazing food. Yep no food here folks. read more

The staff, including the owner, were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The house martini is solid and my husband was so happy to discover that his single shot was 2 oz not 1. A very warm and relaxed atmosphere help contribute to the appeal of the place. We are awaiting the "grand" opening in April as Preamble is a short walk from our favorite sushi place. UPDATE: Still enjoy the drinks but honestly the seating is pretty awkward. If you're going with a big group the big couches might work for you but there's very few cozy spots. The huge tables in the center make more sense now that they are offering food, but it feels like it can't decide what it wants to be. Biggest issue for me is more "real": we went one evening during Happy Hour and the bartender charged us for regular priced drinks. He noted the mistake and said he'd fix it. So then there were two charges on my card: the first "wrong" one and the second "right" one. We were assured one would disappear and it did - the "right" one! Ok...honest mistake maybe. Then my husband and a business partner went for drinks (on my husband's suggestion). We were really upset to see the charge the next day which included several drinks they did not order. He went to ask about it but the owner was not there and it seemed no one else was authorized to deal with the issue. We hope the best for the establishment but we won't be back. read more

Pretty cool little place. Went on prime rib Wednesday and was not disappointed. Music and atmosphere are both great. Did like that you could get local microbrews on tap like Saloon Door. read more

Fantastic place! Service: amazing! Food: even more amazing! This is not your shot and beer kind of place. It is more upscale, with a casual feel. The bartending staff .... they are incredibly skilled. You tell them what you like and they will make something delicious, based on your request. What really blew my mind was the food. Really eclectic and creative. The ribs (love that blueberry bbq sauce), chicken and waffle, tenderloin, burger, and green tomato app ... all absolutely delish! I will be coming back here, often! read more

This is certainly what Clearlake has been missing. The service is friendly and the drinks are not only accurate, but they are potent. The overall decor of the room is the quintessential lounge (soft leather, like the sofa grandma said you couldn't sit on because that's the "good sofa") and the ambience will make for any date night. PS, go see Savannah. She told me to say that. But she's good. read more

Poor service - took 10 min of standing at the bar for someone to even acknowledge us. Ordered an old fashioned ($9) and pretzel sticks ($6). Old fashioned didn't have muddled orange or cherries and when I asked for cherries the bartender looked confused and gave me ONE. Pretzel sticks were tasty which was pretty much the only redeeming factor. One friend didn't like her drink (no mint in a mojito?!) and the other one did like her Moscow mule. Wouldn't recommend. Poor service and sub par expensive drinks. I guess for Clear Lake it might be worth it for some people. read more

Awesome drinks! Very knowledgeable bartenders. Clear Lake in need of pubs like this. Highly recommend if you want a quality drink.
