Allegria Wine and Cocktail Lounge

After I moved down to the Clear Lake area I realized I needed a place to get away from it all and have a fantastic choc martini which is my favorite, I was looking for somewhere to go the night before Valentine's Day this year and lucky for me I had Urban Spoon handy, I shook that baby and low and behold Allegria popped up for wine bars. I called and asked if they only had wine and lucky for me the most awesomely kind voice popped up on the other end named Chelsea and said no we also have martinis, and I was specifically asking for chocolate when she told me, "If I came in she would be sure I would have the best choc martini I have ever had!", (I had previously called Chelsea wine bar which I heard was a great place but they didn't have the martinis I was looking for and were a little snooty when I called.)

Chelsea was right! This place was tucked away in a multi cultural shopping center and was a diamond in the rough. She made myself, my husband and my best friend all have the BEST night and made us her famous Run-Choc-o lata which is so fantastic I can't even describe it you would have to go for yourself, as well as her amaxing choc martini and she even has a chocolate covered strawberry martini that is so delicious it's better than s*x and dessert!!!! Ladies if you want somewhere to go where you can relax with a date or relax with some girlfriends, this is the place!
Great ambiance, not crowded and fantastic staff with amazing daily menu items as well. Great place for wine, dessert martinis and even a quick and easy beer with a snack.

The bartender Chelsea really really makes this place fantastic!

This place reminds me of being a kid and playing grown up.  The ambience is awful and is about as cliche as you get.  It looks as though it was decorated via the owners luck at the local garage sales.

They have a very cozy corner that my fiancé & I enjoy sitting in. There are throw pillows & even a little throw to cover up with because it can get chilly in there.
They also have a full liquor bar for non-wine-drinkers.
Friday nights they have the grill going outside for you to bring your own steak (or chicken or other meat). For $10, you can get the sides: a great spinach salad with strawberries & a crumbly cheese (possibly Gorgonzola) and rice pilaf with grilled veggies. They were very tasty! We didn't bring a steak (forgot all about it until we arrived) and I just ordered a side plate. Will be back many times!
