I had high hopes for this place. I was very disappointed. The service was awful. They had open seating so we sat ourself all of the waitress were behind the bar and they greeted us as soon as we walked in. We ordered our drinks however I'm not sure what the wine was the waitress couldn't tell me and never returned with what it was. When she did return we ordered an app the charcuterie. I kid you not 30 mins later we received our HEB cubed cheeses and crackers. Needless to say we ate our charcuterie and went down the road for dinner. I wanted to try the food but I did not want the hassle. read more

The food is amazing and the staff are absolutely wonderful....Ellis, Lexi, Dorian and Miriam are so attentive! The ambiance is artsy mixed with a nice home town feel. read more

Thank you Miriam so much for all you did for us tonight. You accommodated our large wedding party on a very short notice. The service, the music, the food was ALL totally AWESOME. You made us feel at home and made time to tend to all our needs. You DID NOT charge us a room fee, you made sure that the tab amount stayed within our budget which that in itself is greatly appreciated. Letting us bring in our own liquor with a minimal setup of just $10 per person for the whole night was a pleasant surprise. The wedding party gave many compliments and will return. Again, thank you Miriam for coming to the rescue. Love the BOLDTHOUSE! Tina PS....TYRION L. is a fake account setup by someone that does not understand the details of the negotiations between myself and Miriam. If there is a complaint, take it up with me not Miriam. I am the one who set this up. Miriam was doing me a FAVOR. Appreciation sometimes comes with maturity as does class. read more

Lovely outdoor seating but tables were to small for plates and glasses, silverware. The food was good but, do not expect to have any servers wait on you outside, they don't. It was an interesting concept and tables were very close together. read more

After surviving the Covid, The Boldthouse has a new menu, new kitchen staff. My favorites are Tacos, Taps, and Trivia Tuesdays and Steak Night Thursday, but plenty of specials to go around. The crowds are sparse still due to covid, so get there before the kitchen closes. Or go for lunch. read more

The Boldthouse feels like a home away from home, for the adult wine-drinker with a matured pallet for style and sophistication: This is no dive bar, this is no nightclub. Usually an amazing two or three piece on the inside corner or in the romantically lit outside patio. For the wine lover that likes to listen to good music, drink a glass or two while having a nice conversation with friends or date night with your significant other: The Boldthouse is the best place to come to again and again just to sip and relax. read more

The Boldthouse occupies a spot that has long been cursed. It was a daycare, a seafood restaurant, a headshop, a greek place, and now it is a restaurant and craft beer/wine place. I might be missing a place or two in there because the turnover is so high. Anyway, we decided to drop in and support our local business for dinner and drinks on a wednesday night. We walked in and it was empty at 6pm, which was a little weird. Very sleepy. We passed a waitress, but she didn't tell us welcome, or where to sit, or where to go. The building is kind of weird if you haven't been there before. So we wandered to the bar and sat there. Wednesday is ladies night, which means $2 sangria (red or white) and $2 oysters. Certain Beers were $3 during happy hour and some wines were on special too. We ordered some white sangria, which was actually pretty good. My husband said he didn't want to order food after looking at the menu, which i thought was weird, but I wish I would have listened to him instead of convincing him to. We ordered from the 'small plates' menu. They weren't kidding. The servings are small for 1 person - not small for sharing. I got 1 crab cake that was probably 3 oz with a few leaves of spring mix for $12. He got a 1.5" medallion of filet mignon with 2-3 tbsp of mashed potatoes for $12. We spent $25 on food and left starving. So i'd say come to this place because they have great specials on craft and local beer and wine. they have no liquor. Don't come if you're hungry, though. read more

The Boldthouse never disappoints me. I am always greeted enthusiastically and warmly as I stroll in and treated like royalty by Miriam and her talented team. I love the artsy, quaint, tasteful, intimate decorum, and the live music. The Boldthouse has that authentic, familial feeling. You never feel isolated or forgotten. Indeed, I feel like part of The Boldthouse's extended family. 5 stars Today, I had the salmon tacos, absolutely delicious. read more

Great local spot. I really love the food here and usually the staff has great wine recommendations. Perfect date night. Have been several times. Cesar, the chef is super cool and will explain the inspiration to the dish So far I have had the beef Wellington, mushroom Risotto, The special this evening was a perfectly cooked Chicken Fried chicken with a unique crust and sausage gravy(great). My girlie had the risotto Salmon special and it was yummy. Definitely one of my favorites in the clear Lake area and I would definitely give this a 4.5 and I never give out 5's. I recommend trying the place. Happy dining folks read more

My first time here. I was not impressed with the selection of food. Yes, they have not been there that long, so I will give them another try ( later down the road) but it was a nice atmosphere. I think they should add more selection of food. It looked like everyone in the place ordered the same thing. Offer more veggies. The drinks were good and the waitress and service was great. Like I said, it is new, I do believe in time they will be a whole lot better! read more

The atmosphere is awesome! So happy with what they ended up doing with this place! It's super cute! Food is good but portions are really small so be prepared to order 2 or 3 things if it's for dinner. The turtle cheesecake OMG amazing! Ask about any specials because they do change. Like the $2 sangrias are only during happy hour.... but we weren't told that. Definitely want to try brunch here sometime ! Hope they expand their menu and get some bigger portions. But overall service was nice and fun atmosphere for girls night or even date night. read more

Read reviews and figured we could try it. Service was great, drinks never empty. Food - HORRIBLE! Taco plate only had 2 tacos!!! Ordered boozy tacos and spicy shrimp tacos not a lot of meat and no spice! Beans were decent, truffle fries were not truffled, filet sandwich was chewy! Also ordered the chicken sliders...tasted like frozen chicken! Enjoy the beer and wine cause the food did not hit the spot! Very disappointed! read more

This was bar none, the worst dining experience of my life. 46 years on the planet. Horrible Food. Horrible service. Horrible atmosphere. Bloody fried chicken. I could have balled my pizza up into a ball and thrown it the dough was so raw. The absolute worst. read more

I offered one star because they don't offer a half star. I pass by this place quite often but keep on going due to lack of vehicles in the lot. This very location has turned over so many times I suspect it was built on a Native American burial site. But the one time I do stop in and I was one of 4 customers, kinda strange for 6:30 PM. The beer selection was a total mystery when so many great brews exist in the Western states. My only other choice would have been wine as they don't have a liquor licence. I wish them luck but I was told this is what the owners want, personally I have been to more stimulating funerals...good luck. BTW...1000 Taps? Where? I suspect most good reviews were written by staff or close friends. read more

Super great. Food was really good and unexpected. It's small and not busy which is a shame because it's very good. I will be coming back.

Service was not good. Walked in about 30 minutes from closing and literally just wanted a simple caprese salad and glass of wine but was basically told to leave they were about to close. He didn't even walk over to say it and gave us a dirty look when we sat down. As a person who has had several family members own restaurants this one is definitely a no go. Should have posted this back when it actually happened in May. read more

Great place for date night! The seafood pasta and shrimp & mushroom pasta were delicious! The bread pudding was amazing! Excellent service!! read more

This place is amazing! The service is always great, the happy hour everyday of the week is so much fun (especially trivia nights) it's a relaxing vibe and a cute place to stop in for a couple of drinks especially with the girls! read more

We try to get out in our area to check out and support local businesses, especially if there is a connection. This place is owned by a friend of a friend. I have driven by here numerous times but this was our first stop in. We were impressed with the decent selection of local craft brews, and the meal was great. We were there for Steak Night, although we did not all get steak. The portions were just the right size, with no one going home stuffed but all satiated. The downsides of this place are the hard surfaces inside the restaurant/bar that reflect sound strongly enough that even with only a few groups in there it got hard to hear without raising your voice considerably and what appears to be not a whole lot of parking. Probably adequate for an average night at the bar but could be cozy parking if they were really busy. Which is unfortunate because with the menu and beer selection, this place could catch on. Servers and chef were very nice; chef came by all the tables that were eating to personally check on people. We will likely go back again so I can say confidently that you should check it out, too. read more

Horrible service & horrible food. This 1 star is very generous. I attended my company Christmas party here last weekend and it started off good the waitstaff was nice and helpful but it went down hill when it was time to order food. EVERYONE of my coworkers orders were incorrect, some plates had items not described on the menu like bacon ( my coworker doesn't eat pork and it wasn't on the menu that it contained pork) , some got orders they didn't even ask for, if they asked for a medium well steak it came RAW, if they wanted chips they got fries and to top it off every order came in 2 at a time with a good 15-20min between each order so with 13 guest that was a lot of time waiting... WORST part was I order a SALAD at 7:30pm and by 10:00pm I still DID NOT receive it, like come on it's a SALAD!! I told them to cancel my order because that was unacceptable. My company will never do a dinner here again nor should anyone else. read more

I wanted to like this place, I really did. We went on a Friday night, there was a group at the bar but other than that it was empty. They did not have the first 3 wines I tried to order. My husbands beer as warm. He wanted a grilled cheese and soup, no soup, he ordered fries, no potatoes. It was a comedy. The group at the bar left and we were the only ones there, I at one point had to go the bar to get another glass of wine. The food we did end up having was good but sadly I would not rush bacj read more

Trivia night on Tuesdays is my weekly ritual. I love this place's feng sui makes me feel like I'm inside a lava lamp.

Very cute trendy place to get wine and beer. The food was just okay, nothing exciting. The bartenders were super friendly but did not tell us about the specials when we arrived and did not find out about them until after we over heard another customer talk about them. I would not go out of my way to go there but if you're in the area it's a cute place to stop by read more

The atmosphere is perfection! So cool and artistic. Among the best wings in the area. Kylie was one of the most gracious and attentive bartenders we've experienced in the area. She's a precious gem. Go!! read more

I came here for drinks and appetizers and the staff made me feel so welcome! Everyone was nice, the food was amazing (still dreaming of that asparagus) and the bartenders were super helpful with helping me explore my wine choices. The Chef was super nice as well and made the best tiramisu I've had in a while. The atmosphere is great, the staff is great, the food is worth every penny, and the drinks are great! If you're in the area I would highly recommend it. read more

Fantastic date night spot. I had the filet and hubby had the pasta. They were both delicious. Service was excellent. Wish we could have stayed longer for the live music. Highly recommend this gem. read more

This place has been absolutely wonderful. Every single thing that we've gotten here has been top-notch. Susie has been just the nicest and most accommodating waitress we've ever had at any restaurant in this area. I would highly recommend bringing anyone here. read more

I wish I could give a better rating but I had the same experience as all of the low star reviews on this site. Disappointing this place has so much potential. We had a extremely long wait time for food, and service was just mediocre. The Wellington wasn't that great poor cut of meat and the puffed pastry on top was tough. We were going to try brunch but unfortunately we probably will not. Hopefully you can use this feedback and make your place better I hate to see another place go out of business in that spot. read more

Love the atmosphere ... Something different that sports bars with no TV's . Good food .. good wine! Live music was good too .

Checkout the Thursday night live music night. Very chill MTV Unplugged vibe. This place is a hidden gem!

I really wanted to like this place more than I did. We had been putting it off until in the proper tapas mood. The quality of the food was the same as the Wal-Mart down the road. My wife and I were seriously underwhelmed. The Wellington was deconstructed and the cut of beef was questionable. The risotto was super dry. We both feel we could have done much better at home cooking the entire meal. The beer on tap was nice, but the bulk of our $75 lunch tab went towards mediocre food. Staff was okay. There are MUCH better places nearby to grub, better quality at a lower price. read more

Nice relaxing place. Good wine selections for me. Miriam (?) was most helpful and knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. A nice cheese plate was an added bonus. Well worth stopping in! read more

Wonderful food, friendly and attentive staff and such a fun, cozy atmosphere !! Can't wait to go back !!!

Took an hour for pancakes and potatoes to come out . Pancakes tasted like they'd sat out all day and the potatoes were raw. Two of the easiest things to cook. Some of the women who were servers had a bad attitude . It just wasn't a pleasant experience .... read more

Definitely worth checking out! Small place with a good mix of craft beers, and I love the small plate concept - Full meals scaled down at a decent price. Grilled wedge salad was perfect for lunch and the Chicken Marsala is an amazing meal for $10. read more

This place was quite the disappointment. It took us an hour and a half nearly to get our food. I ordered Beef Wellington and was given a steak sandwiched between mashed potatoes and a roll. WTF??? I wanted to complain but didn't want to wait another hour and a half. I would have given this pub 1 star but the hostess/waitress was nice. A tip to the owner.....make sure you have adequate staff on Friday!!! That's when most of America dines out! Get with the program! read more

I really like this place. Nice little outside patio area. My husband likes the food. We have never been here when it is crowded and I like that, but it should be. Great customer service. This is actually about our 4th or 5th time here and everything is consistent, food, drinks, service...I appreciate consistency. :) read more

This place is awesome! WONDERFUL SERVICE and the STAFF is attentive and on point. Crawfish is the best in town. Highly recommend coming here!!! read more

Tapas bar next to the Marriott. I had the bruschetta and it was pretty good. They have a nice outdoor seating spot and a good sized bar inside with maybe 1000 taps. Lots of local beers at a decent price. Worth the walk if you're staying at the Marriott. read more

The Boldthouse was a surprisingly cozy hide away. With a beautiful patio. Only thing missing is a full bar. We'll definitely be back.
