You would think all the great cocktail bars would be in the heart of the city, but the Clear Lake…read morearea has some major contenders. Getting to this area from Pearland is much easier than heading into Houston so I was more than happy to come here. I've been here a couple of times and the most recent visit brought me and a party bus full of friends here on a Saturday night. The place gets busy but parking hasn't been an issue on any of my visits. It's a narrow bar that may seem tight, but it keeps going towards the back with more seating as well as a spacious patio. Customer service is always great and the bartenders know their stuff here. They have a pretty extensive drink menu here and there is something for everyone's preferences. They have a long list of cocktails and they can make you anything you want as well. The staff are experts here. They also have an impressive bourbon collections with about 200 kinds to choose from. Along with their cocktails, they have a long list of martinis. I love a good martini and here they have so many options. You can't go wrong with my favorite espresso martini, but the one that wowed me here was the Cucumber Patch. Cucumber flavor profile is not typically something I seek out, but I was in the mood for something refreshing and this was suggested to me. Get it and thank me later. As far as food goes, they have a separate BBQ business on site that sells some food. Don't sleep on the Bay Area if you are looking for a nice cocktail. This place will quickly be one of your favorites. I will surely be back.

The Davenport Lounge Clear Lake has probably been there for years, and I somehow just now decided…read moreto check it out. I've driven by a countless number of times, and you'd never really know it's there. But walking in, you immediately get that local dive bar kinda vibe in the best way possible. I met up with some friends here for a chill drink after work, and to our surprise it was karaoke night! I have to applaud the regulars here because they can really SING! But don't be shy if you can't, they were welcome to everyone going up for a song. As far as drinks go, I had the Alimony. I was sold on it because it's gin, guava juice and elderflower liquor. Balanced, not too sweet, and had a little bit of sparkling effervescence. Pair that with a shot or a beer, and we were having a great time catching up with old friends. I don't remember our bartender's name, but she gave us great service. Overall 10/10 recommend the Davenport Lounge Clear Lake if you're looking for where the locals go, trust me they know best.

Crowd is a mix of great people. Bar staff is friendly. They have some food stuffs, but we haven't tried. Beer on tap is our go-to and the list of options never disappoints. The parking is strip center style and can fill up easily, so arrive early for a concert.

Wow. WOW is the word to describe this place…read more Let me tell you about Bella the bartender, the BEST bartender I have ever encountered in my entire life. And listen, I'm basically a certified alcoholic (just kidding... allegedly), so trust me when I say I know a good drink when I taste one. I've sampled enough lovely liquors in my day to know what's good and what's just overpriced sadness in a glass. Bella is COMMITTED to her craft. She literally told me she studies cocktail recipes day and night. Like... how cute is that? Meanwhile I can barely commit to folding my laundry. Then she proceeds to make me the SMOOTHEST, yummiest espresso martini my tastebuds have ever had the privilege of experiencing. One sip and I was astonished, emotional, slightly turned on, all of the above. This woman has the shake hands of a goddess. I think I fell in love a little bit. Also, shoutout to the super friendly man in the Hawaiian shirt and Bob Ross-style beret. He brought immaculate vibes to the whole place and made the experience even better (for the most part). Anyways, the drinks at this place are phenomenal. 1000% give this place a try. And if you get Bella as your bartender, congratulations- you ARE one of God's favorites.

I understand we don't have many options on this side of town, so we keep coming back despite the lack of energy. But tonight, the bartender questioned us that we weren't being patient enough for our beverages. Well if you want to be a successful cocktail bar, perhaps have more than one bartender (that's not aggressive) on a Thursday night. Please respond business owners because this is on you trying to cut corners.

This place is terrible. We have been a few times and the service has been worse with each visit so…read morethis will be the last. Wife and I went today stood around inside for 10 minutes not one person spoke to us or asked if we had been helped. My wife asked if we could be seated outside, she was told "someone would get to us". We waited another 5 minutes and a couple walked in and walked outside and sat down. My wife asked another server the protocol of how we put our name down on a list or how we could get seated and she was told "if there was an open table just go sit down and a server would come to your table", we went and sat at an empty table. Another 15-20 minutes went by and still no one even spoke to us. If you want to enjoy a meal on the water save yourself some frustration and go elsewhere the only person there that has a clue is the bartender, he's great but he can't be everywhere and most of the servers stand around and chat. Worthless.

Pool table, dart boards and area for the band with a very small open area to dance in front if you choose. My complaints would be that it is small and tight trying to navigate around if bar crowded especially in the table seating area. It also got pretty warm at our table which was closest to game area with NO fans above. They definitely need more fans above to keep the air moving. So if you go, pick seating under a ceiling fan. Didn't have one wait staff take my drink order, my group had to always head to the bar. They were busy and responded fast.

The bartender made good drinks, there was a rocking band playing, the decor perky and uplifting, and we had a great time with our little party of three. The only downer was paying $14 for a hamburger slider with a sprinkling of French fries. I was told it was good but for that price, I would have expected more. I wouldn't order it again for that price. It wasn't large enough for a kids meal much less for an adult. Staff are slow to serve drinks which I couldn't quite figure out as they were not busy at all for a Saturday night. And the staff wasn't overly attentive, talkative, or welcoming which seems odd for a bar. All being said, I'd stop back by for a drink again some time. Maybe shoot some pool if one of the two table is available.
