Zz Gator Cove

It is a nice up scale pub with a large patio area. The perfect place to take a date for drinks and gourmet pizza.

I don't mean to offend any of the previous reviewers, but as I write this review, Zz Gator Cove has an overall rating of 4.5 stars here on Yelp. While I thought this place was cool, I'm not sure it's 5 star worthy.I was staying near the airport and a friend and I were looking to have a few drinks in a place with a fun atmosphere with younger patrons vs. some of the other places we'd stopped at. We checked the Yelp app, saw that ZZ Gator's had 4.5 stars and decided to head out here. This bar is a bit off the beaten path, and when we first pulled in, we didn't know if it was open or closed, as there were no cars at all in the front lot (turns out most patrons park around back in the gravel lot). We drove through the back lot, spotted a few people at the bar inside and decided to give this place a try. The bartender was friendly, as were the patrons (2 young ladies came over to chat with us and ended up buying each of us a shot), and the drink prices are decent ($21 incl. tax for 2 mixed drinks and 2 domestic bottles), but we never got to try the food.The patrons on this night were a mix of younger and older, and the vibe kind of reminded me of a VFW or American Legion in most cities where the people who come here are mostly regulars, mostly blue collar, most everyone knows everyone else, but they're welcoming to strangers and are happy to belly up to the bar, have a few beers, watch the game and play a few rounds of darts. We sat in the area that appeared to be an enclosed porch, with several window A/C units for summer and plenty of heat on the night we were here, when it dipped down into the 50s. One minor criticism is that the men's restroom on the night we were here wasn't the cleanest, and both the soap dispenser and the paper towel dispenser were broken (they did have a bottle of liquid soap and a roll of hand towels set out in their place).

Every time I get shipped to Kingwood, TX this place is always on the nightly agenda after a day of meetings. It is a dive bar but it's awesome. A great place for coworkers or friends to sit around- chat & unwind from the day. Oh and they sell a killer pizza! You may think the place looks dirty but I have yet to get stuck to a counter or table. They keep it clean and the bartenders are personable, engaging and sometimes overly entertaining. They have a smoking and nonsmoking side - you do not smell the smoke carry over. Lots of locals in the place each time I visit. I am sure there are other place more foo foo but I seem drawn to this place and away from the high life of hard chairs and high priced bar drinks.

I moved to Kingwood, TX this January, 2016. I spoke about wanting to check this place out for months since i drive by it everyday to work and/or school. We stopped there last night for a celebration shot for just the three of us to welcome a family member visiting us here in Texas. I am very upset about the service we received from the bartender. She was very snarky and rude to us. We could tell she was on edge but there were very few people in her bar and we were also being very polite trying to be nice to her. At one point she threw up her hand with the peace sign to us as she walked away saying "let me know when you figure out what you want." I was very upset as i headed home because she ruined all of our positive energy, and we love to support our local mom and pop places!! I hope they can hire someone who will be a better employee so people do not have to experience what we did.

This place is spectacular! This is a bar that deserves to be in a Movie... A Real Dive bar, Low ceiling, dark lighting, no frills...Had a great meal of Guinness and Jack.Service was great! A future tourist spot...

Showed up here on my birthday alone and had a good conversation with Molly the bartender who is very friendly and inviting. She made my night. They have pizza and french fries and a menu, those are the two things that I've had they are pretty good. Drinks are reasonably priced, there are darts and the lighting is very acceptable for my taste. Honestly this place could use a very detailed dusting to remove the massive amounts of cobwebs but I get it. I would recommend this business if you are looking for a casual place to hang out with friends or just to stop by after work for a couple of drinks. There is karaoke Wednesday nights however the night I showed up was a rainy night and the karaoke guy canceled, that was disappointing but I understand.

I love this place! The food and drinks are good, and the Karaoke on Wednesday night is a blast! I highly recommend giving them a try.

It was a good customer service, which was by the bartender in the front (none smoking area), not the bartender who was attending me In the (smoking area), but the point is that nobody told me that it was going to take over an hour to order a Pizza.The pizza was good, but what do y'all think?

This place is in the boonies of king wood, every time I drive past it I want to try itThey just look like they have great pizza Anyways AMAZING!!!!!!!

Pizza is the best around Kingwood humble Area Beer is colder then any other place in Kingwood
