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!“

Glenlivet

“I went by, intrigued as they are literally steps from the site of the original Old Galveston Club and Interurban Queen where dear Mr Santos presided so many years. A bit suspicious , how can they be calling themselves OGC… And felt like I had just come home. Fabulous place, with an old familiar feel. We talked to Lucy the owner who was incredibly welcoming, very much cognizant of the weight of the name and incredibly respectful. Lou the bartender after hearing my story of a drink Mr. Santos first recommended and made for me, produced the closest version of it I have had since years ago at the original ( Planter’s Punch). Mr Santos himself would have smiled proudly. Kudos and thank you for keeping the memories alive. We will definitely be back. There are not enough stars in the galaxy to add to the rating :)“

This bar is huge and pet friendly. I love coming with my friends and my chihuahua in my bag, get drinks, seat on the couches and socialize. The music is good but it doesn't drown conversations like many other bars. If you want to play the pool and games are free!!!!“

Regulars are super friendly, so even of you want to watch a game, but have no one to accompany you, there is always someone there. And Cindy is a star behind the bar. She will take care and you will feel welcomed!“

“They took us in for my sister's anniversary, even though we were later than we expected, but the only complaint was the speaker with stupid music (?) right in our ears. It's a sunset atmosphere, not a disco. The music (?) should be smooth, not ridiculously loud and annoying. The speaker should be up and away, not a ear level. When asked to lower the volume, they refused. Very unappealing. Waitress was great and friendly and the desserts, while expensive, were excellent! Also, the bar stools would be better if they had "backs", not just stools.“

“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.“
