Love this place for a cozy local date night on the water. Even better when they have music. My only complaint is parking between here and boondoggles but it doesn't deter me from going to sip on their wine selection and enjoy their lite bites. read more

Snacks were amazing, relaxing vibe and a laid back staff who is ready to help when needed. We love this place! read more

Chelsea Wine Bar - One of our favorite places to just kick back and relax! - Wine Bars Near Me - El Lago, Texas

Lord almighty. This place is my world. I laughed. I cried. But most importantly, I drank and I ate. I am probably the biggest fan of this place ever!! Everythinggggg I have ever tried here has been so amazing. I have never been to any place like this before! It's so charming, everyone is always friendly, and the interior is just so beautiful to me. I love Chelsea's for a date or a girl's night, or shoot I'll be damned I'd come here alone no problem. They have these wonderful specialty nights, so it always feels new!! Literally just try this place out once and you'll have a ball. read more

My bestie and I visited this wine bar very briefly during a bachelorette party. My bestie ordered her typical Moscow Mule and I ordered a Strawberry Lemon Moscato. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck outside. It was a nice, cool, breezy evening creating a perfect vibe. The strawberry lemon moscato is one of the best moscatos I have ever had. I still think about how delicious it was to this day. I would definitely come back just for that! read more

This was such a fun place for my cousin's 50th surprise party. We had the whole top floor for her party. We ordered several dishes off the menu and they were all delicious. The fondue was my favorite. The wine was delicious too! read more

This sweet and spicy board was amazing and the wine was even better! Love this place!!!! read more

Chelsea Wine Bar - Sweet & spicy board was amazing & this wine was phenomenal !! - Wine Bars Near Me - El Lago, Texas

Love love love this place. Friendly employees, good food, great wine. Wonderful for an evening on the patio.

I've been here three times recently and each time has been a great experience. It's such a chill and laid back vibe. This place is good for groups or for a date night. There's a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The upstairs patio has a nice view of the lake. The staff is so friendly. They are great about making suggestions if you're not sure what to order. Shoutout to bartender Jenny who is so sweet! I've had a few different wines and have enjoyed them all. For the non wine drinkers, they have a great selection of craft beer on tap as well as bottled beer. Apparently if you buy a bottle of wine to go, you get a 25% discount. The food is pretty decent too! The Traditional Flatbread (pepperoni basically) and the Pretzel Sticks were yummy! They have an assortment of cakes too! Our favorite is the Betty White cake! It's so good and addicting! It's basically a must have when we go now. The parking lot is shared with 4 or 5 other businesses, but there's plenty of parking. They are open until 2 am which seems to be rare for the suburbs. It's nice having a chill wine bar outside the loop. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

This is my second time at this spot & I have to say that it was amazing the first time around that I had to come back again. The bartenders are nice, welcoming & chilled. The decor is okay but it needs a little bit of remodeling. This is a good spot for a night out with your friends or a first date. There is an inside and outside seating & you can hang out upstairs as well. To start, I decided to order the Rainbow Sherbet which is a sour beer. It was light & had a good amount of sourness to it. If you're a fan of sour beer then I recommend getting it. On my 2nd round I ordered their IPA (We want Houston). It was very good & strong. Definitely had me feeling buzzed. After the second beer I was a little hungry so I got the Flatbread pizza. It came out piping hot. The sauce was tangy & the crust had a nice crunch. Pretty decent bar pizza. I decided to order another IPA and at this point I was craving their dessert. The group tried the Betty white & let me tell you, it was some delicious cake. It was moist, fluffy and they didn't go overboard with the sweetness. My BF wanted the strawberry cake and I took a couple of bites. Tbh, it was okay. It was a bit dry but I did like that it wasn't too sweet. Overall, I had an awesome time. We were chatting the night away while enjoying the outside breeze. There is also a lake right in front of the bar. I'm not sure if we are able to bring our drinks and sit by the water, I'll have to ask next time. The vibe was on point & our bartender Jenni was fantastic. Thank you for being so kind to us. Will I come back? You bet I will. read more

Love this place. The views are great, and the drinks/food are even better. It's super cozy inside and wonderfully relaxing on either outdoor deck but I prefer the top one. Loved the pretzels however I'd recommend losing the yellow mustard, Chelsea's! The honey mustard jam-esque one is delicious but queso or a different mustard would definitely be a better option than plain yellow. The salad was a perfect refreshing summertime one. And that frosé- talk about refreshing! One of the best frosé drinks I've ever had. read more

I love this place. Something about a dim lit drink is very pleasant and relaxing after a long day or just in a random Tuesday. It's right next to the water so the view is pretty and the houses in the background have pretty light decor that makes for an intimate experience. The variety of wine is nice and the atmosphere is just perfect, sometimes there is live music that adds to the experience. Good company and great wine! read more

Our server was nice, and the wine was very good! We sat outside on the second floor and it was a nice way to spend our Sunday afternoon. However, we ordered the Cheese Fondue but it wasn't worth the money. The cheese was't even that warm when they served it to us. read more

What a cute spot!!! Came here for some drinks and was thrilled to see $6 sangria on the menu. There were lots of yummy options that I would love to try. They have daily specials and s'mores and fondue... yum! What more could a girl want?

Its a great spot for a quiet night, or to end the night. The prices are fair, tons of seating. I enjoy the live music. Staff is efficient and knowledgeable. It's all business with them, which borders rude, but for the most part polite. read more

Cute wine bar with fair prices. A waterside oasis from the bustle of Houston. Really a very special place near NASA. I got their charcuterie board recently and was impressed with how satisfying it was - 3 ladies split the board for 2 comfortably but also each of us had just had dinner so we were just peckish. I am particular about my wine - no Kendall Jackson on this wine list. Lots of drinkable, more interesting bottles without being inaccessible. read more

Friendly reminder- this is a must try place!!! 10/10 recommend!!! I love coming here with friends and catching up. The hummus is amazing as well as their desserts. If I could- I'd come here everyday! read more

I love this place. Great views, great food, and a fun beer & wine selection. It has a nice breezy patio and a cute interior.

This used to be a hip place. I enjoyed being able to go upstairs to play boardgames with my wife while we enjoyed glasses of superb red blends, but it seems a bit "blue hair" now, if you know what I mean. The recent day we went, the upstairs is now off limits, and you cannot smoke cigars on the patio anymore. About the only thing that is still good is the charcuterie boards, hummingbird cake, and the sangria. I would love to try a large number of their wines, but the prices have nearly doubled in the past couple years. I suspect most people that come in there would just like to try a glass or two, but the ones that are offered by the glass are very basic bottom shelf, kind of wines. Who wants to drop $100 on a bottle that you can get at the store for less than half that? We wound up leaving that day and the bartender didn't even act like they wanted our business anyways. There are certainly other places around town to try some great wines. read more

Chelsea Wine Bar - V for Vienna lager, aka beer time! - Wine Bars Near Me - El Lago, Texas

My husband and I frequent this spot a lot. With a dim romantic inside seating to a patio that looks out onto the water...you would frequent this spot also! Many wine and beer selections as well as a delicious display of tasty desserts! Food is served here as well and they have specials throughout the week. Our favorite is to grab wine and a charcuterie plate, and plant our bums on the top patio watching the boats go by. If you come at the right time then you can watch the sunset with bae. We have had steak night here and it was delicious and cooked how we like it - medium! This year they decided to do a "Valentine's Night at Chelsea". They arranged the upstairs where the table outlined the room and the food all in the middle. It was nice to not be cramped and feel like you were at an intimate dinner with your significant other. While we waited for the main course they had a nice cheese fondue & chocolate fountain set up with a charcuterie display. Many of choices and you were able to enjoy it before, during, and after dinner. Then came the main course of steak with Mac n cheese & green beans, and we washed it all down with a bottle of wine. Delicious and not one piece was left! After dinner we we're given complimentary bubbles and got to keep the champagne glasses! All for $45 buckaroos of course tax and gratuity not included. Absolutely worth every penny and our waitress constantly check on us and carried on conversations with us. If they do this again next year, I certainly do recommend it! read more

What a lovely place. Quite romantic with a nice view of Clear Lake. A wonderful selection of wines, continually varied and an equally broad selection of craft beers. There are also appropriate appetizers which are a great complement to whatever your drink preference is and in addition they have dinner specials. Service is at the bar however typically the servers will bring food to your table. Really quite worth it to visit the bar in any case as the person who takes your drink (and food) order is very knowledgeable about the beers, stouts, limbics, ciders and wine on the menu hence they act more in the role of consultants rather than bartenders. The place is a departure from the Kemah Boardwalk both in personality and ambience and certainly on the way to the Boardwalk hence if you want a pleasant experience before your trip to Kemah or if traffic is particularly heavy (which it generally is every weekend, I might suggest you consider a stop...it's well worth it. read more

Steak so tender you can cut it with a spoon. I could tell it had been marinated overnight and slow roasted. I saw the cook pull it out of the oven and cut each piece. Greens were flavored with a red wine glaze. Mash potatoes seasoned with herbs and spices. For the sauce, a red wine vinaigrette....full bodied that outputs pepper and cedar flavors. I found myself dipping my potatoes in it more than the steak. The flavors of both, went well together. The tone of the venue was that of a upscale saloon. On the bottom floor, it was open, loft style with the bar on one end and piano on the other. The furniture was all wooden. Each member of the staff knew their wine and were very pleasant. Upstairs had a similar setup but without a piano and 2 soft couches. There is an outside patio area as well. Great for watching the sunsets. You can hear the piano and or band throughout the establishment so it just adds to the esthetic. Incase you were interested, Chelsea Wine Bar has a steak night every Sunday. Steak Dinner: $14 Wine flights: $15 Desserts: $6-$7 Amazing time with close friends: $$priceless$$ read more

One of my favorite spots! Great wine selection and a few beers. They have specials during the week, such as $5 frosé on Thursdays. They sometimes have wine tastings and I definitely recommend them!

Man, I love this place and was so excited to bring some out of town friends here a couple weekend ago. While the place is just as warm and inviting as ever, the bartenders were not... one of the girls was down right rude over and over, while talking smack directly in front us as we were trying to order. Massive attitude from the moment we could step up to the bar and her annoyance seemed to stem from the question "is this going to be on one check?"... literally, before we even ordered!! Mind you, we are not of the age where you split checks or worry about the check at all... The wine was delish but it's a good thing we know what we like because I can't imagine if we had to ask for suggestions... after spending many years in the bar business, I understand it's hard dealing with drunk people, but when your money depends on giving great service, if you can't do that, you may wanna reconsider the business you're in... We enjoyed our wine but decided to leave rather than eat there as we had planned ... we could only imagine the disaster that would have been coupled with the bartenders disgusted attitude . Not sure I'll return, which is super disappointing because we enjoy the atmosphere overall. read more

I use to live in Seabrook for 15+ years and I never stopped by Chelsea Wine bar, probably because I wasn't 21. I'm so glad I finally came because it was so cool! When you go in, you order your drinks at the bar and you take them to your seats. I recommend sitting outside at the top. You can a view of Taylor Lake and hopefully a sunset if you go in the evening. The decorations inside were unique and random but somehow fit perfectly together. I've heard the cakes are very good so I will be trying that next time! read more

What a wonderful little gem we found during our visit to Galveston. After a long day of unfortunate events we were ready to get home with some dessert and wine on my birthday and this place brightened up my day with its expressively painted walls, lake gazing patio, and friendly service. If only I lived in Galveston I could see my self clicking away at my laptop on the Victorian tufted wall bench in winter or enjoying laughs over wine and friends under string a string kit patio. Oh and the pumpkin cupcakes were as delicious and they were rust orange Enjoy it for me please. read more
