    Didn't have food. The DJ was terrible, seemed like it was one big TikTok thing changing songs every 20 seconds at best. Ambiance, inside bar--meh, the bartenders (4?) were so into themselves and selfies you could barely get a drink--and it was a small bar-- The place did however, seem to have a large outdoor space with a lot of games and large TV's. Prob a great place during the day or for a game--i didn't really like it for a Friday night.

    I was a part of a group in town for a meeting and we were looking for something fun to do by the water. This looked like a fun area, so we followed the music to find the Kipp Rose. This funky place was low key but it was early on a Thursday. We had a good time anyway, just hanging outside and playing bags. Seemed like there were some biting i sects in the fake grass, and it would have been nice to have a waitress come by to check on us. Im assuming on busier nights they probably have more staff. Overall, a fun place to have some drinks and fun if you are in the area.

    January 15, 2022 One of the stops on the Kemah Pub crawl line up tonight. I really liked it. Huge. Inside. Outside. It was 38 degrees outside so they had heaters out there. The place was packed. Saw some co-workers from Galveston. Decor was nautical, pirate, strobe lights, ocean, fish, chandeliers They had hookah's, DJ, fresh street tacos (3 for $10) I'd prefer to come here during the day and chill Night time after 10p is a younger crowd and it gets packed

    Tied for first place as my favorite Kemah bar! The location is great. We love the bartenders- especially Michelle, Ona and Suzie!! The drinks are well priced and the tacos that they have sometimes on weekends are cheap and delicious, plus cooked right in front of you. There is so much entertainment including a giant chess board on the lawn. They now have a firepit with porch swings surrounding it and built in booths on the patio. It's the perfect combination of upscale but relaxed and I always see a ton of old friends or make friends while I'm there. Ps. Security is on point-we love Deon!

    Fun bar with an outdoor patio! Kipp is walking distance from the Kemah Boardwalk historic district so I always stop by for a cold drink. The pool table is always broken which is disappointing. But I had an amazing Long Island here. The crowd gets kinda rowdy on Saturday nights.

    Great Vibe Delicious Food…read moreFire drinks Excellent Service Highly recommend as a great spot for lunch or dinner. I have only experienced it during lunchtime.

    I wish there was an option for 0/5 stars. Do yourself a favor and just drive right by this place…read moreand don't bother stopping in. It has no redeemable qualities whatsoever. The service was horrible, we sat there being passed by at least 6 different servers for the first 15 mins with no acknowledgment, no drinks and not even handed menus at the very least. When we finally got to order it took at least 30 mins to get to us. The mozzarella sticks are straight out of a freezer bag, you can tell, and the spinach wrap was soggy. Not even that, I asked for no avocado because I'm allergic and what did I find at the very bottom of it? Exactly that. So clearly they don't care about allergies! We were never checked on, any time we needed something (like a drink) we had to flag someone down. Even to pay the bill we had to go through 3 people to track down whoever was supposed to be our server. The servers were unpleasant as well, they were too busy talking to eachother to even know what's going on. I will never step foot inside of this place again, coming here in the first place was a huge mistake. Like I said, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. I bet the Denny's down the street would serve you better than this place ever could.

    Such as when this place was Opus Bistro, it gets 18 stars on the view and 2 stars on the noise…read morelevel. As for the food? It's OK. Service is fantastic. We came here recently for a Sunday lunch. Fortunately, there were only a handful of patrons here when we arrived (around 11:30). Within 30 minutes, the dining room was full, and we couldn't hear each other talk. I remember experiencing the same thing when this joint was known as Opus Bistro several years ago. Despite the noise, the dining room still offers an excellent view of the canal and the people pulling up on their boats. Again, the food here is OK. Nothing more. In fact, it was quite reminiscent of a Fertita-owned restaurant with lines of delivery trucks from Sysco and Gordon's lined up at the loading dock. More specifically, the coconut shrimp came out crispy with not much flavor beyond the cloyingly sweet sauce served alongside. The fries are battered. Not my bag, though they arrived at the table hot and crispy. (Since when do crispy fries need batter?!?) The tacos were average. Not bad, but nothing different than you would get at most other places. Same with the Caesar salad and crispy Brussels sprouts. The crab bisque tasted tomatoey. That's not a deal breaker, but I expect a garlicky, buttery broth that has been thickened with heavy cream. Not the case here, as this was flour-thickened with inexpensive ingredients. And the amount of crab was negligible. Those *are* deal breakers. The beer selection is fine here. And, again, the service was really good on our visit. Bottom Line: I totally want local businesses to succeed. But my money is also hard-earned, and I want the food to taste local and to be made with high-quality ingredients. When it doesn't -- and this place doesn't -- I might as well grab a Groupon and go to Red Lobster.

    I'm finally dusting off my old 2017 review for Boondoggles to provide an update…read more ​I returned here last night for a pre-birthday outing. While randomly Googling, I remembered Boondoggles and decided to give the 'old place' another try. My first visit was for a dinner with classmates from UHCL; my second was with my brother. ​The eatery looked practically the same as it did nearly eight years ago. Its dive bar meets German beer hall vibe is still very much alive, and the place was still bustling with people. I came in with fish and chips on my mind, but a lengthy scan of the menu led me to the Florentini Chicken, while my brother ordered the shrimp po-boy. ​The Florentini Chicken was really good, and I think it's a solid choice for the health-conscious. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were perfectly crisp. My only wish was that the entire dish had been a bit larger, as the mashed potatoes were gone in just a few spoonfuls. On reflection, while the Florentini Chicken deserves a try, I'll probably stick with pizza next time. ​I asked my brother how he liked his shrimp po-boy, and he had no complaints, so I'll take that as a sign he enjoyed it. Price-wise, while the costs may have risen over the years, they were not unreasonable.
