Kipp Rose — Restaurant in Kemah

First time visiting. I won't be going back. My sister-in-law called ahead to have a birthday get together for my brothers 40th. Asked if it was ok we would have my infant niece with us. Mind you we were meeting up at 6pm, so no intentions of partying it up in Kemah late. The managers only concerned seemed to be, so long as we didn't have teenagers with us trying to drink. That's fair. I myself called ahead to see if dogs were allowed outside. I was told they were. So I brought with me my Chihuahua. Mind you she never even set foot on the ground and was quiet. There was about 15 of us. And the bar was pretty dead. We were not given any notice about needing to leave by any certain time. Or that apparently dogs aren't allowed after 8pm. When their door guys showed up, we were asked to leave. Had that been shared info, we would have made other plans. Maybe if it was getting busy? But it was as though they didn't have the business. As a business owner myself, I'd have been rather angry knowing my staff kicked out a group of 15 at 8pm. Their reason was because it was club hours. Whatever that means. Really just very...

My friend was drugged and could not move in the restroom. The owner and bartenders and security guard were only caring about getting us out the door and had the door open telling us “if you want I can drag her out” when I told them “what do you want me to do, she’s not ok”. They spoke to me very rudely and were asking what I gave my friend insinuating I gave her something and the security guard asked what I meant by “I think she was given something” and said “you mean [bernbituates]”. I said “you mean like BARbituates?” Mind you this security guard did not even check our ID’s on the way in. They kept propping the door open for the whole bar to see and I asked them if they could close it and an older blonde woman and a short security guard with black hair were saying “no not until yall are out”. Needless to say I had to call ems and have my friend tested at the hospital because something was very wrong and they DID NOT CARE AT ALL. My friends ID and debit card also went missing...

Always good vibes in this place. Very cool remodel done inside with a light up bar top, that reminds me of sand, and overhead a wooden structure with blue lights behind it, which reminds me of a bar on the beach. It's beach themed after all, with life buoys and sirens! As another bartender in Kemah, this is the place I recommend when asked "what else is good to check out around here?"

Great music, popular or dancey stuff. Usually got Chive TV on which is great to laugh at when I get off and go there to zone out over a drink (lol) Bar service is also quick and friendly! Bumpin' A/C unit in the heat and always the cleanest restrooms. AND they finally started carrying black cherry White Claw! Finally! Seriously can't find something not to love...
