The bar has a unique charm, offering an amazing selection of drinks that cater to every palate.The patio stands out as a highlight – it’s not just inviting, it’s an experience. With cool swings that add a playful touch, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the company of friends.Pineapple Margaritas – they’re a must-try!
Update 4/26/24: Rosewater is a great place but not as great as it used to be. I have just two issues. 1) The place has become busy, which is good, but they need more staff. The 2-3 girls working were running around as best as they could. 2) The quality of the drinks has gone down. There's more ice than liquid, and the amount of alcohol is almost negligent. Until a year ago, I could have 2 drinks and be happy. Today, I had 4, nothing, nada...I had more drinks at a higher cost but got less for my money. I will go for the atmosphere and the nice waitstaff but will stick to wine.It's great to hang out with friends. Nice drinks but limited food.
5 star for the drinks and being one of the only cocktail bars in the area. Food is solid too!Hellflower and old fashions are my favorite.Least favorite: that flavored ranch water drink

Rosewater in Clear Lake is well known for the originality of its fine cocktails and has an excellent, well deserved reputation. The food is also outstanding as management continues to add to the menu. Tonight I ordered a smash-burger and it never fails to deliver. The staff was their pleasant, obliging selves and always seem to want to make you feel welcomed. The expansion of the bar adds needed space & offers a third choice in seating. It seems being accommodating to patrons is Rosewater's over riding theme.

Service and atmosphere are great. Drinks are worth what you pay. It was my first time ordering food and let me tell you the burgers are really good. I always order the charcuterie board and I was a little bummed that now you can’t pick your meat and cheese but after trying it I was back to being a happy camper. Hit this place up if you like bars where you can have a conversation.

Super cute atmosphere for a nice quiet night with the misses while you snack on a charcuterie board over a glass of wine. My wife and I love this place and enjoy the cozy feel we get when entering the establishment. We have been a number of times and continue to support this business!

This place is phenomenal. I’m a scotch guy but every cocktail I’ve had here is amazing. The owner is a mad scientist when it comes to flavor. Even their food menu items are great. The Greek burger was one, if not THE best burger I’ve ever had. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We ordered drinks and an app which were good but then towards the middle of our visit it seemed like our server ignored us. We wanted to order more food and drinks but they never came back, and I politely made eye contact a few times. Finally another server came to our table to check on us after we finished our drinks and were just sitting there. We paid and left.

Rosewater is such a great cocktail bar in clear lake. The service is so quick for such quality drinks. They have a beautiful patio that you're able to sit in and lounge. The drinks are phenomenal. I wish I could remember the name of my drink, but it has shishito pepper extract and goodness. It's an excellent, top notch drink. I love this place so much.

Great place to chill and relax. Not a place to come and go quickly.Cocktail options are crazy good! A couple beers offered as well. Not much in terms of food but what they do offer is done very nicely.

I had been told about this establishment quite some time ago, had time on my hands and was looking for something to eat and drink and stopped in quite casually on a Sunday evening which is not quite the apex of dining experience but I suspect was an serendipitous opportunity for me to find a bar stool and some immediate attention for what was a perfectly wonderful experience. Let me start by referring to the picture of a perfectly prepared cocktail from yesteryear (which is where I am from) and if representative of all cocktails is reason not to miss this experience. As well I partook of a spicy Hummus appetizer which was very enjoyable, tasty and served with Pita, fresh carrots and cucumber which in my opinion having been raised on Mediterranean dishes, is something that someone either considering or familiar with such faire, should not miss. The ambiance is quite lovely and on this particular evening included some 1960's, plenty of 1970's and 1980's music which was a perfect pairing to both the service, drinks and food. I won't wait for as return visit. PS a rapscallion BTW...if you are a scotch drinker should not be missed especially from this establishment.

Excellent cocktail spot with rotating menu (and some solid, standard full-time options). The menu is helpful is describing unfamiliar drinks as well. Certainly helpful if you're on the edge about something new. New food menu options are delicious as well. All in all, a good experience every time we go.
Rosewater is THE best place to decompress!
