Garden party
Sarah B.

We went on a beautiful day. Their outdoor patio is awesome. It overlooks the water and there is a ton of space. I had a garden party and a blackberry g&t. The garden party was ok, but it felt like it was missing something. The blackberry drink was crisp and refreshing! I'd definitely order that again. Overall the experience was very pleasant. The bartender was friendly, but she was the only one hustling complicated drinks so it took around 10-15 minutes to get anything (not her fault!). I would definitely come back!

First time to this hide out, glad we stopped by! The venue was hosting Singo Bingo, that was fun, first time for me. The bartender, Bridgette was great! She took our order prepared the drinks as asked HUGE plus. Outside, pizza was prepared as ordered. (Theres a menu but the "Mad Scientist" prepped our pizza as asked.) The bartender also made my wife a beautiful mocktail with an orchid in it. The lighting outside was relaxing and bliss. The scenery was beautiful!

Lovely Sunday afternoon on the patio. Early, so it was quiet. Peaceful. Interesting drinks! The charcuterie board was adjusted for my pescatarian date. The bartender was super pleasant and helpful. Can't wait to come back!

Dirty Martini w/Citadelle Gin prepared by Tiffany!

I've heard a great deal about this place and there is no wonder...it's along the Canal (not sure which) but if you like beachy/tropical feel this is it...it has a great patio but I spent time at the bar as the patrons and bartender are as entertaining as any ambience may get be. In any case Tiffany was the bartender at this time and typical to a very talented bartender can tell you more about the liquor to select for your mixed drink (in this case a dirty Martini made with, at Tiffany's recommendation, Citadelle Gin) since I was in the mood for something botanical and it was a great recommendation! The second Martini was made with Aviation Gin which was again recommended by Tiffany as I was looking for a variation from the 1st. Bottom line, a great place for 'gourmet' drinks.

Great Drinks & Ambiance! Can't remember the name of the drink but it was basically a PINK Negroni!

I'm very new to the tiki scene, having first discovered how fun the cocktails are at a distillery in San Leon. I'm so glad to have found Coco's, much closer and like the title says--on the canal! I loved being on the deck with my perfect Last Word. When the mosquitoes invited themselves to join, I really enjoyed the live music and air conditioning inside. The free pizza didn't hurt. The bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable, and our tiki favorites were on the menu (unlike another place on NASA that I will never return to).

One of the coolest bars in Kemah and it's Not just tiki drinks! Very impressive selection of spirits, plenty of specials and even karaoke! Courtney's service and cocktails were top notch!

mai tai on left (which is creamy with coconut for some reason?) and zombie on right. not good

Coco's is a cute little bar nestled on the canal. They have some pretty nice decor and an excellent outdoor seating area. They also have a small stage where they feature different acts and live music. We came for burlesque night. While I think this venue has great potential - it is a super cute spot - the 'tiki' drinks left us disappointed. We frequent other tiki bars in HTX, like Lei Low and Toasted Coconut, so we were extremely hopeful that this would be a local clear lake tiki option for us. We also are big followers of the Smugglers Cove book and frequent those tiki joints across the US. The drinks at Coco's were not authentic (they didn't even match the menu descriptions - i.e. the mai tai had coconut cream in it....), and not delicious. We tried two different bartenders and the results were equally as disappointing. It's a shame because they have all the right ingredients, i don't know if they need training or if they need to stick to the recipe or what. Anywho, we will probably be back for live entertainment at some point, but we will stick to non-tiki drinks. Parking is very limited, so recommend getting there very early if you're attending an event.

Ask the Community - Coco’s On The Canal

I hate to ask this, but I have out-of-town company coming in basically four adults and they're very nice people, but they smoke. Is there an area outside on the patio where smoking is allowed without disturbing anyone else?

There is - just sit outside by the canal!!

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.

We have been coming here for years. Always take the slightly underwhelming attempt of a cocktail…read morebar for what it is. 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.
