Rose is a modern craft cocktail restaurant and lounge, located on the waterway in The Woodlands, Texas! A well-executed cocktails is a standard prerequisite. What makes us unique? The rendering of a cocktail is in fact an art form. No, it’s not just the steps of putting together ingredients, shaking them up and pouring them into a cocktail glass! Although we are great at that too.

Great night with old friends. Waitstaff was indeed fantastic. We ate outside to avoid the noise level inside although the live music was very entertaining. As it was late, my wife and I enjoyed Bungalow salads and a bowl of Lump Blue Crab Bisque. Both were great but the bisque was over the top. Our friends enjoyed their meals as well and commented on the quality of their food verses their own local Tommy Bahama's. Highly recommended!!

Everything was great. Gumbo (advertised as award-winning) was good, highly recommend the crab-crusted redfish.
