The Seaside Lounge is a nice establishment. It’s very roomy and there is outside space as well. I wasn’t impressed with their VIP seating area as the seats are very messed up. As time passed, I could understand why. They allow people to sit on the back of the seats and stand/dance on them. Our food came out before we got our bottle and other drinks. Our waitress Maddie was very attentive. The lamb chops were a little charbroiled but good and after I added salt & pepper to the potatoes, they were taste. I'm not a fan of their grits. The watermelon mimosa was very taste. We also enjoyed the Don Julio strawberry and orange mimosas. You can also purchase a Hookia. If you are not into the latest Hip-Hop & Rap music, this is not the place for you.

My Experience, Food is very pricey... Meaning Fish and Fries you get one piece of Fish with look like store brought Fries for $ 16 dollars and some change, The Rosemary Lambs was okay but very small, the Mac and Cheese was Cold didn't look how the picture looks and the Collard Greens taste and look like Store Can brought where they added their on little Seasonings in there to give it a different taste..... I'm a Cook been cooking since 6yrs old and if you know how food should taste and look by growing up with your Elders you know. Put out the Quality for the Price...... I've been to Clubs in 5th Ward as some refer to the HOOD for Example Club 5015 everything comes out HOT and FRESH your Plate is BIG BOY HEAVY and the Price is on Point for the amount of Food you get and your gonna have some to take Home as well.......... I understand you all are in the Downtown area but the Downtown area isn't what it used to be either.......... Paying isn't a PROBLEM but Give Out a Decent Portion for what Your Charging...........

While I did enjoy myself, it was mind boggling that patrons were not able to use the ONE bathroom on the property as the event was ending. Security was being selective on who could and couldn’t use the bathroom. I offer the solution of adding additional facilities, particularly on the roof because there are SO many steps and I didn’t see an alternative of getting up and down.

This is a sports bar atmosphere. Servers can’t really be attentive cause they have to pop bottles and shake 10 times for the birthday crew each time. Salmon bites were good good and I enjoyed the catfish and buffalo egg rolls. Mac n cheese…No!

Overall good experience for a Saturday night out, especially since they don’t charge for entrance! Definitely a place that it helps to have a table at, otherwise there’s very little standing room, all outside. Prices are fair at about $12 a drink (including auto-gratuity), music is fantastic and DJ is fun. The bartenders were great, but most of the bottle girls looked like they’d rather be anywhere else but there. Additionally, and most importantly, they close access to bathrooms before 1:30 am when the establishment doesn’t even close till 2! This is absolutely unacceptable and management should change this.

I booked a Friday night birthday section option, in which they advertised a free section, bottle, & a cake if you buy a bottle. I communicated via text & got an text confirming my reservation in advance on Wednesday because I was told they needed to order the cake in advance. When we got there it was empty, they told me there was no cake ordered and I had to push to even get the free bottle by showing the actual texts & proff of reservation. The hookah guy was wasted drunk and kept touching on & flirting with everyone in my section and even took our hookah we paid $45 for when i threatened to call security on him. We had to get management involved to get our hookah back and to get him out of our section bothering us. Then once we waited & finally got the hookah back, a few minutes later we were told they were closing early at 12:30 am instead of 2 am because it was slow. So barely 2 hrs in, did not get to enjoy the hookah, paid $280 for a bottle plus food only to get kicked out at 12:30 am. Bottle girls were cool, food & music decent, but the rest was a mess. Seaside ruined my birthday celebration that night and I do not recommend them for special occasions.

Terrible service and completely overpriced for no reason. The vibe and atmosphere were disappointing, and the DJ seriously needs to be replaced. The place felt sketchy overall. Parking was $20 during the day, which is excessive. Also, gratuity is already included, but they don’t make that clear — something customers should definitely be aware of. Avoid the mimosa tower at all costs. It’s overpriced and doesn’t even include champagne. When I asked how much it would cost to add a bottle, I was told $130, which is completely unrealistic. The food was just okay — nothing impressive. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. I won’t be coming back.Terrible service and completely overpriced for no reason.

Bait & Switch Pricing Ruined a Milestone Celebration I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Seaside Lounge this past Saturday for my spouse’s 40th birthday celebration. Two weeks prior, I booked two floor-level sections. I was clearly told the sections were $100 each with a one-bottle minimum per section, and bottles were $150 each. At no point was I told pricing would change based on arrival time. No mention of rooftop placement. No mention of a two-bottle minimum. When we arrived, we were moved to the rooftop and suddenly told it required a two-bottle minimum. After speaking with the manager, he agreed to honor the one-bottle minimum per section — but then informed us that because we did not arrive before 11:30 PM (a rule that was NEVER disclosed), the bottles would now be $250 each instead of $150. So let’s do the math: $250 + $250 = $500. We were charged $641 for two bottles. Even with tax and gratuity, that number deserves a clear breakdown. Instead, we were met with attitude and pressure — including being told we may need to give up one of our sections after already paying. To make matters worse, we were told to merge our 20+ guests into one section because we were “just sitting.” We paid for TWO sections. Being asked to consolidate during a milestone birthday celebration — in front of our guests — was embarrassing and unprofessional. It felt like: • A complete bait and switch • Undisclosed policies • Inflated pricing • Poor communication • Zero accountability The only bright spot of the night was our waitress — she was amazing. Attentive, professional, and the only person who made us feel valued as guests. She deserves recognition because she truly did her job well despite the chaos around her. Unfortunately, strong service from one employee does not make up for poor management and misleading pricing practices. This was supposed to be a special celebration. Instead, it turned into unnecessary stress and frustration. I would not recommend this venue for milestone events. Edit: ALSO, one of my guest paid $50 for the photos from the photographer and never received the text link as promised. Never again! Text message thread available when booking.

I drove almost a hour away to catch happy hour food just to get there at least a hour before the happy hour they promoted ended and they told us that they ran out of the wings for happy hour but was still selling wings but on the regular menu so I tried to order the other happy hour food and was told the was out of that as well we ask the manager what’s going on he said they sold the happy hour qouter but the club was damn near empty so it was b.s and it still wasn’t 9pm yet so that’s bad business all around the board and false promotion when you see a flyer just know there subject to not honor what they promote

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I wish I could give 0 stars. Do not waste your money. We traveled 4 hours for my cousins birthday weekend and went to several other venues and had a great time. We chose seaside to bring her actual birthday in and they ruined it. We booked a section ahead of time through their instagram with a lady named jasmine. We were also sent a flyer that the bottles were $200. When we got there they did not want to give us the section we paid for because the previous guests did not want to leave although we were told to arrive around 10:30pm. We changed sections a couple of times and finally settled on one. No server ever came so after about an hour of waiting we asked a few servers to grab our server and still no one came. One girl finally decided to help us and we were told the bottles were twice as much as the flier advertised. An unexpected expense… okay cool we were prepared to pay it. While waiting We were then forced to Grab all of our things and move to another section. At this point it was already late and our moods were off so we requested a refund for our section which one of the managers or promoters insisted that he would comp our bottle for the inconvenience but after 30 minutes he never returned. We again had to hunt someone down to receive our refund not including what we paid for valet parking. A very embarrassing experience for all parties involved and I will be sure to tell all my followers not to spend their hard earned money with the thieves and scammers. Eeeyuck!!

Ugh this place had us sitting for an hour, it wasn’t even busy. We also paid one of the little minions walking around and she was no where to found. I don’t recommend lol. Dallas is better THEY WILL PLAY IN YO FACE! Will be leaving the worse review on all platforms.

I visited this place Thursday, January 15, 2026 at approximately 11:00pm since it was close to the hotel that I'm staying at. I loved that arrived pretty close to their closing time and were still able to order food (takeout only though). I ordered their lamp chops; which was 4 lollipops and two sides for $35. I had a Moscow Mule while I waited for my food bringing my order total to $61.55. Gratuity was automatically included; so be advised of that. There are several ways to have them prepared. I had mine jerked with their mac and cheese and candied yams as my sides. The candies yams were candied yams. Far from tart or butter but not overly sweet either. The mac and cheese had something unique going on. There was a smokiness; almost jerk flavor to it. I enjoyed it with the jerk lamp chops but not something I would come and order standalone. Now being from out of town; be advised that locating the entrance to this place was odd. The rear and the front both look like plausible entrances. Once I found the entrance; it was packed with a bunch of black people just congregating and socializing. Ironically; this was the "security". What added to the irony is that when I asked "is this the entrance" no one responded. Just a relatively young light skinned black male dressed in all black with dreadlocks waving/signaling me to come towards him and then to turn around (again; no words spoken). Once he was done patting me down; I stood there like a deer in headlights. So I asked "where do you go"; this same "security guard" finally spoke saying; "you can go to the back". Now envision where I was standing was dark, poorly lit, no people and to the back was only stairs to an empty rooftop and what appeared to be an empty bar space and to my right was another door to a different side that was lit (which happened to be where the actual service was). So without much instruction I just walked back and went into the door on the right where the only signs of life were. Walking in I was greeted by no one. Just a DJ booth with the DJ in there and later to find out two "waitresses" entertaining him. So I asked the DJ; "do you just seat yourself" and one of the young ladies responded "yeah". As I sat there waiting on my order; the DJ complained to the "security guard" I encountered earlier about finding a new spot for Thursday as he's been there a year and the crowd has drastically fallen off. So what I realized is why the gratuity, even for a party of one, is automatically included. The customer service sucks. Left up to me personally; I would t have tipped anything on a takeout order and poor service. The food is good. But not automatic gratuity good and not revisit or recommend good. Be advised: They rent out hookahs. The place smelled more like weed than anything.

We were in town for our friends birthday last week and this was the last place we went on our last day. As servers where we live we are most certainly overly understanding of service lacking when busy but the service was NON EXISTENT!! We went early around 830p and they were beyond slow which is to be expected. It’s early. No big deal. They said the upstairs rooftop was sold out so we got a section on the lower patio. 200 section fee plus a bottle. 200.00 did not even go towards the bottle. It was literally to sit. So 589.00 later we brought out bottle which did come pretty quick with all mixers. Our waitress (Sydney) took our order, dropped off our bottle, & literally NEVER returned. Our hookah coals were only refilled once so it just died out. We asked another server who was moving all the sections around us upstairs to please have our server come to our table. Still never came. Walked inside to the bar to ask the bartender if they could send Sydney to our table and her response was “she’s probably busy upstairs” and walked away. We went upstairs ourselves and it was PACKED but you don’t forget about your guest downstairs. Paying guests at that. Moving on to the DJ. GET A NEW ONE IMMEDIATELY!! We went so many places in Houston (peachez, privacy, forget me not, doves, daiquiri land etc) and the absolute best time, best service, and best music. You could never pay me to revisit this place again

Kool spot but they added extra items to my bill all because the waitress wasn't paying attention when my bill should have been 45 dollars but i came to me for 102. Knowing i didn’t order all that food. Very disappointing very unprofessional. Why would I mix clear liquor with dark liquor? Why would I order three entrées? And then they dont fix it and just want you to order to get up to the bill limit. Not upset about the 100 dollars im upset of the distrust and deceiving tactics that they gave to me.

We traveled from Alabama to Texas for a bachelorette trip and reserved a booth in advance for $200. We were informed via text that there was a 3-bottle minimum for the section. Upon arrival, we were not greeted for approximately 15–20 minutes. I had to flag down our waitress, Kee/Spain, to place our order. She took our food order with noticeable attitude. Our food was brought out by someone else, and we had to request silverware since several of us were unable to eat without it. Despite multiple requests, it took another follow-up to finally receive it. At around 11 PM, the waitress approached us to ask if we were ready to order our bottles. By that point, we had less than an hour until closing, and we explained that ordering and consuming 3 bottles in such a short time wasn’t reasonable. She then claimed the minimum was actually 4 bottles, contradicting the previous communication. When we asked to speak with a manager, she responded rudely with, “Do y’all want the bottles or not?” and stormed off without another word. Shortly after, security/constable came and told us we had to leave—even though we had paid for food, hookah, and the booth reservation. The constable was very respectful and polite but doing as instructed. A person who identified himself as the owner (who was sitting in a section of his own) came over and initially said we could stay. However, once the waitress returned, he changed his stance and asked to see proof of the 3-bottle minimum. We showed him the text confirmation, but he still insisted we leave and informed us that we would not receive a refund. The overall customer service was extremely disappointing. We visited many other establishments in Houston (Trill on Wheels, The Locker Room, Karma, Forget Me Not, Savoy, Kamp) during our trip, all of which were professional, kind, and attentive—unlike the experience we had here. I absolutely do not recommend.
