“Had a wonderful experience at MarMo during a pub crawl yesterday. It really shows when a bar truly prepares for an event like this. Even with the large influx of people, the staff were so friendly and attentive, working extra hard to minimize that wait time at the bar. This was hospitality to its core. It was such a cool vibe. And that hummus was magical. Will definitely be back!“

The Den at Hotel Lucine Coffee & Tea • $$
1002 Seawall Blvd, Galveston

“We have been a few times and it has always been fantastic. This past weekend we had my husband’s 50th birthday on the rooftop. We had a pretty large group but had met ahead of time to discuss set up, food and all the details. It turned out perfect. The staff was amazing. The drinks were great, food delicious and the vibe was perfect. We stayed there so we experienced The Fancy restaurant, downstairs bar, pool and rooftop and it couldn’t have been a better weekend. The rooms were so cold and smelled so good (2 very important factors for me when traveling). The rooms are quaint and they have mastered upscale, boutique but with a laid back vibe. We had several friends get rooms as well so they wouldn’t have to drive home late and everyone had an amazing experience. Highly recommend!! It’s an hour drive for us but I can tell you we will be back for happy hour and food.“

The Rooftop Bar Bar • $$
2300 Ship Mechanic Row St, Galveston

“We went to the Rooftop Bar for some drinks around sunset. Both the drinks and the service were good, and even in mid summer, the breeze made it quite comfortable to sit outside.

There isn't very much outdoor seating, so I'd you want to sit outside, it's probably best to get a reservation.

We didn't order any food, but the menu did look promising.

I heard the view isn't what it uses to be following renovations, but it still was a nice place to spend the evening.

The service was really good and the seating was very comfortable.“

“Greeted and seated immediately. Beautiful restaurant and food never disappoints. Thursday is the steak special night at 6 pm. Happy hour ends at 6 so we get there in time to get a few drinks then the steaks. Some of the best drinks on the island. The bread board appetizer is delicious. The steaks are cooked correctly, tender and juicy. Sam the Man, our server is awesome!“
