    Not a bad bar, decent beer selection, nice patio, friendly bartenders, no complaints there. My complaints are to the owner/management. Your POS system is set to charge all credit cards 3% per transaction. This is not legal in Texas. You can offer a cash discount, but don't steal from me to pad your bottom line. I rarely see this practice but when I do I report it, even though federal law probably won't enforce it, but for a bar that is all about Texas, they are violating Texas law and Texans rights. They know good and well what they are doing is crappy, but that most people won't notice or just shrug it off and that ultimately nothing will come of it. This is not common. Spec's famously offers a cash or debit discount, but they are more respectful than to just take 3% from you.

    I was searching for a more upscale bar with better beers than the normal swill that some of the more divey places in La Porte have and found this place and it definitely has the better brews but the prices are sky high. Fantastic selection, you can see on Untappd how the selection changes but in the end, 3 beers, one of them a 10 oz came up to $22. No bueno. The atmosphere was very nice. Upscale, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, music was ever changing and looks like they have a killer set up as a small live music venue, but I don't think I can swing the prices. I just have to get used to drinking Karbach at a honky tonk down the road because I will be broke. Solid 4 stars on appearance and staff, 2.5 on prices.

    Gin & seltzer and wine with nachos. Perfect combo.

    Safe place to have a drink on the patio. Service was friendly and quick. Decent prices as well.

    This place is pretty cool being that its close to where I work and not too far from home. It's located near the end of Center Street right before you reach the Fairmont intersection. It's at the north tip of a small strip mall area. They have an excellent selection of beers from crafts, on tap and your regular imported and classics but you are not just limited to beer. They have a full bar and are able to mix up what ever concoction you may be in the mood for. The place is small inside so it may get crowded on a cold night. Most of the crowd consists of Pasadena and Deer park locals and nearby plant workers. The crowd is mature, chill and laid back. I visited on a Thursday night with a large group of coworkers. We couldn't help but try the special Saint Arnold's selection. Delicious beer. They also serve a small selection of nibbles if you get hungry but on that particular night they were pretty much out of everything so we ordered an antipasto tray. It did the job and was enough for sharing with our group. This night there was no DJ or live band but there was a juke box and a local vendor selling craft items, clothing and other Nick nacks for the home. I saw something I really liked but totally forgot to walk with cash. Luckily there is an ATM in house. There was a corner for video game playing and a Christmas tree made out of beer kegs. There are two women's bathroom and believe it or not they were pretty clean that night and the place was busy. There is the option of outdoor seating but it is open air so not the best spot to be in on a day with bad weather. Definitely a place I would return to for an after work cocktail or weekend stop for cold beer. You should try it.

    This is. . . PASADENA? THE Pasa-get-down-dena?! If you say so. . . We had a magnificent time here and can't wait to go back! We came yesterday, a Wednesday, about a month after the grand opening. It was a little crowded; There is nothing even remotely similar to this type of joint nearby. I think they picked a great location in that respect. We came in to try their impressive beer menu, which includes several beers above 9% alcohol content and 5 nitro kegs. BF ordered the Southern Teir 2x Milk Stout and I ordered the Karbach Weisse Versa. "Sancho" was bartending and poured our beers. BF's choice was one of the nitro kegs, which may be why his snifter took a little longer to pour, and came out super cold. They were excellent! I liked BF's better than mine, but they were both wonderful. Those two beers were only FIVE DOLLARS EACH. Whaaaa, I've paid more than that for a crappy domestic beer at other bars. We were really blown away at that price for specialty craft beer! We took our treasures out to the patio where it was a lot less crowded. Unfortunately, it was kind of chilly and there was a group of 6-7 barely drinking age kids swilling miller lites and loudly announcing their presence. There was a couple sitting in the corner we struck up a conversation with that was pretty knowledgeable about this place. They have already come here several times. They told us a ton of great tips for our next visit: 1) Ask for the "Beernerd" next time (Not to be confused with the beer nurds at the Flying Saucer) He maintains the beer menu and knows all about what they carry. 2) He will hand you samples if you want to try before you buy, and if you're looking for something that isn't there he will suggest something that he thinks you will like instead. 3)The servers, while friendly and quick, don't know much at all about the beer selection or helping you make your choice. We were joking about wishing the Beernerd would teach a weekly course on the ever changing menu to the staff, and be open to the public as well, of course! 4)Once a keg is killed, they replace it with a different kind so don't get too attached to anything. I'm hoping to make this a regular hangout spot and I would love to see this place thrive! But we need to push out the cretins, maybe up the charge to $20 for any bottle labled "lite"?

    I really love going to The Republic House! It is really nice to know we have a decent bar and we don't have to go all the way to mid town anymore! I went out recently with a group of friends and everyone else was super friendly! We met like 4 new people there and had a great time blending our groups together. They have a nice patio area with warmers and fire pits if it gets too chilly. The drinks were pretty reasonably priced as well! I had about 4 Cherry Vodka Sours for only $15! #Winning

    Impressive beer menu. Seating inside is limited and can get crowded on certain nights, but we usually opt for the patio anyway which is nice on a cool evening. I love to blow all my money on the jukebox and be DJ 'til the band starts playing outside. My husband and I come here because it's right down the road (from Deer Park). The Republic House is just a nice little spot to get out for a bit, watch the sunset while you sip on a delicious craft beer..or a Bud Light if that's your thing..Next time I'm trying the Jalapeno Cucumber Margarita and exploring a craft cocktail, if I'm feeling adventurous.

    Holy Crap! #19  Southern Tier Choclat....Amazing!

    Welcome to GREATNESS! Over 50 of the greatest draft craft beers in TEXAS. Nothing compares. This place will blow your taste buds away. Oh, you don't like draft?? Look at the amazing beer bottle collection. Sooooo, your only drink liquor ??! Shut your face. Check out the Amazing Bourbon, Tequila, Vodka, Rum, and Scotch bottle selection. This is the ONLY PLACE YOU NEED TO BE. THEY ROCK, THEY ROLL, AND THEY'LL PUT A DRINK SO FAST IN YOUR HAND THAT YOU'LL THANK TEXAS FOR PLACING THEM IN DEER PARK/STINKADENA! My one stop before I get home! THE REPUBLIC HOUSE...

    That's a wall of good beer my friends...

    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.

    Restaurant Review: The Velvet Quarter 2234 E. NASA Parkway,…read moreSeabrook, TX My friend and I visited The Velvet Quarter with the intention of enjoying a relaxed meal on the patio. When we arrived, we seated ourselves outside, where there was only one other group present. Despite the patio being very small and the waitress coming in and out several times, we were never acknowledged or approached. After waiting for some time, I went inside and spoke with the owner, Adolf. He came out to our table and briefly discussed menu options with us. I asked specifically about the fish and chips, as we were told some dishes were no longer available due to an earlier rush. He said he would go check on that for me--but he never returned. Fifteen minutes later, we still had not received any service. When the waitress came back onto the patio again, I called her over and asked when we might be helped. She told me she "did not see us there," which I found difficult to believe given the size of the patio. After that interaction, she did not return to take our order. I went back inside and spoke with the owner again, this time clearly frustrated. He looked me directly in the eyes, raised both hands, and said, "You can calm down now." He repeated it in a tone that felt condescending and dismissive. I responded, "Thank you for giving me permission to calm down," and at that point, I turned around, walked out, and left with my friend to dine elsewhere. I cannot comment on the quality of the food because we were never served. I can comment on the service, which was extremely poor. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the service a zero. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to The Velvet Quarter.
