Absolutely one of our favorite places! The staff have become friends, and that says a lot! I love the fact that they’ve been operating for over 20 years as a locally owned bar in Kemah. Paige works hard to create fun events and great music to bring this small community together.

If you are looking for a fun relaxed local bar THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! Live music on weekends, Trivia Tuesdays and best drink prices around Kemah. Located at the end of 6th street and walking distance to the Boardwalk. During the summer and holidays you will have a perfect view of the fireworks show. Paige and her team do a great job of entertaining and hosting fun events throughout the year. All are welcomed and encouraged and always has a little snack for your pet. No food service BUT with a phone call there are options around that will delivery directly to you!

Kemah’s OG bar on 6th street. Great atmosphere with the best and friendliest bartenders in the area. Live music and events for all ages! Bring your doggies to play at the Paw-lapa park.Astros watching parties with a hot dog bar, trivia Tuesdays and more.. love this neighborhood bar and their people. Prices are reasonable compared to other venues in the area. A word of advice, don’t come and spend more than you can afford, then make a big scene when asked to pay, be respectful!

Palapas is one of my go-to bars whenever I'm looking to have a great time. The staff is simply amazing - always ready with a smile and happy to help with anything needed. And the fact that it's pet-friendly is a huge plus for me and my pup.One of the things that I love about Palapas is their events. From live music to trivia nights, there is always something going on that makes the atmosphere incredibly lively and exciting. What's even better is that the crowd is always very friendly and welcoming, which makes for a great time every time I visit.Overall, I highly recommend Palapas for anyone looking for a memorable night out. The combination of a pet-friendly environment, amazing events, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a great spot for anyone looking to have a stellar time.Kid-friendliness: During day

A little gem in the Kemah bar crawl complex. Karaoke Saturday's with Cass. Great sound. A warm rainy night with beer buckets and good people.
