About us

Preamble Lounge and Craft House is the beginning of something never before seen in Clear Lake. By definition, a preamble means “a preliminary or preparatory statement; an introduction.” This new elegant lounge will introduce our area to Signature Craft Cocktails in an intimate setting. Owner and designer of Preamble, Joshua Jones, has brought this prohibition-style, post-modern cocktail bar to life bringing about a “cocktail revolution.” Jones declared Preamble’s motto to be “We the people, have a right to superior cocktails,” and that is exactly what Preamble is out to accomplish. Preamble will showcase the Artistry of the Craft Cocktail, where creating fresh and delicious beverages becomes a spectacle to be viewed as performance art from the first pour.

The bar staff has been expertly trained to entertain guests with their drink-making theatrics. Preamble Signature Cocktails will do more than quench thirst; they will also entertain from start to finish. A few of their Signature Craft Cocktails include several variations of the classic “Old Fashioned” such as their Smoked or Italian Old Fashioned, the New Orleans style “Ramos Gin Fizz,” and also the “Moscow Mule.” This progressive cocktail bar does not use any store-bought mixers; everything is made in-house. All of Preamble’s cocktails are made with real fruit or real fruit puree and are free of artificial sugars.

At Preamble, there’s a specialty cocktail for everyone in the crowd. With a wide selection of high-end spirits, infusions, barrel-aged beverages, cocktails on tap, and an intriguing happy hour, there is something for every patron and every budget. Happy hour is from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and includes 13 Classic Cocktails ranging from $5 to $7. When it rains at Preamble, they will honor their happy hour prices. All-day happy hour pricing on Mondays makes Preamble the ideal after-work hangout. Happy hour classic cocktails include the Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Ramos Gin Fizz, French 75, Champagne cocktail, and more.

Whiskey drinkers rejoice! Two-and-a-half-inch whiskey spheres will be served daily in whiskey cocktails after happy hour. These ice spheres incredibly reduce the amount of water dilution caused by melted ice and are a great addition to any variation of Old Fashioned on the menu.

Preamble features an impeccable sound system for your listening pleasure. When it’s time to chill, choose from numerous couches to lounge on, catch up with your friends or relax and meet new ones.
