42 Best Bars in Galveston

“I've been going there for over a year now and it's the most comfortable place the people are like family the owner is Open Arms always she makes everyone feel so comfortable and it's not a Rowdy place it's a very very Homestyle place“

“I always have a great time at gizmos!!“

“Awesome place. Great atmosphere and excellent service! Not only did Grace keep our drinks full, she was back in the kitchen making our food too! Super friendly and made us feel like we were family. She even made trips out to the pool table to check on us and refill our drinks. If I could I would rate my experience 6 stars! Looking forward to coming back very soon!“

“Robin is awesome even when my pool ball fell across the room lol“

“Great Place!! Dog Friendly and Great Staff!!“

“This is my family’s favorite place to eat when we hit the island. Spectacular food, great outdoor seating. Their drink menu is impressive and unique. I’ve not had a bad meal there ever!“

“Fun, affordable, clean and friendly spot for island fun!“

“Island Time became our watering hole on our recent vacation and we were so happy with our experience. The staff was amazing, especially Julie and Josh, the drinks were fantastic, the food was your typical bar food but it was good, and the drag show was entertaining. The only negative that our group had to say was that the drag performers were a little too push for tips; literally putting their hand in front of you for a tip. This happened a few times to us, and others, and when we tipped them one of them rolled their eyes and said “that’s it”. Other than that, we had a great time and would totally go back to this fun and welcoming place.“

“Deb is such fun and such a great bartender! I’ll definitely be back because of her!!“

“Amazing customer service,just moved to galveston this was the first bar and probably will be the only bar I'd want to go to im honestly so messed up rn I can't remember my bartenders name bit she had a Grey streak of hair and she was awesome and amazing to talk to. Can't wait to stop by again“

“Need a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city? This place made this country boy at home. Make you feel at home. Small Town atmosphere. Ms. Renee (sorry if I misspelled your name); was highly attentive and friendly. music is varied. Jukebox is awesome. Not to mention the price of drinks is fair and the regulars make you feel at home. And this is after my first trip! Will definitely return next week.“

“Fantastic bar, friendly staff, and a pool game you can enjoy!“

“I live nearby and saw the special for the $5 cheeseburger on Thursdays. Finally gave it a shot and I have to say that it was quite delicious. The bread was yummy and the meat was very juicy. Some might think it was too greasy, but no one wanted a dry hamburger anyway. It had excellent flavor and was cooked to order. I’m not sure that it’s worth the $15 as regularly priced, but either way, I was very happy with it and will order again in the future!“

“Great staff and locals. Never a bad time.“

“Great drinks but beware the Pina Colada flight….it is sweet!!!“

“Great place to watch NFL and MLB games. If you’re a Cowboys fan they always have food catered from Yaga’s or BLVD Seafood during the games and play it on the big screen in the back room! Zoey,Nick, Brook, Carlos and the rest of the Beerfoot team go above and beyond to make it a great experience o matter what team you are cheering for!!“

“Their sandwiches with the French dip are absolutely phenomenal. Don’t think it’s officially on the menu but it should. Theresa (our bartender) makes the best sandwiches in Galveston. Do yourself a favor and stop at the Corner Pocket. Great food and service.“

“great atmosphere to meet new friends“

“Love going to La Bamba. for pool, dancing or just hanging out with beautiful people“

“Great atmosphere fun times had by all“

“This was a great bar to get away from the over priced bars in the tourist areas. Bartender didn't even kill me for being a Packer fan, stern look but not sharp objects were brought out, lol. I highly recommend you stop by and have a drink!“

“Can’t say enough good things. We left a stuffed animal in the sheets and they returned it to us! Microwaves cost $10 but it was worth it anyway.“

“1980's stylish sports bar. I'm West End Campeche Islander found new hang out spot. This place has a cheeseburger that gives Mel's Diner competition and that's hard to do. They got a chili dog that has triple the chili than Sonic. Quieter place to watch Astros or Houston Rockets. They got a baked potato if you just trying to chill and avoid all the huge tourist crowd. Got 3 huge plates & 3 drinks all for $50 bucks. That's a deal nowadays!“

“Ok for a place to hang out in an open-air place to hang out and enjoy adult beverages. Seemed more like a treehouse than a bar. But, it drew a decent crowd of bikers during the rally for being several miles away from the main action.We wanted to ride a little away from the masses, so it filled the bill. Kudos to their parking attendants, they really controlled the lot.There was no food served by Woodys, but there was a food truck there. I think they should've offered a few portapotties the mens room was often overwhelmed. I heard many of the ladies comment upon seeing the long line of men waiting for the restroom. Most said the world is upside down here.“

“Very friendly staff! Home town bar feel. Reasonably priced food and drinks. Definitely my wife and l's favorite bar we visited in Galveston! We will definitely back!“

“Great little bar. Hidden Gem in Galveston! Great Staff and Live Music!“

“We had a great time celebrating a 50th birthday party. Excellent bartenders!! Thank you Taylor!!“

“We ate there for the first time today. The food was delicious, service was great and atmosphere was great. We will definitely be back.“
