17 Best Cocktail Bars in Galveston

“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!“

“nice place friendly people“

“Vida Agave catered an engagement party for us yesterday and everything was spectacular. They arrived in the morning to set up, and came back an hour and a half before the party started to deliver the food which was fresh, hot and delicious. Thank you, Vida Agave!!“

“We had dinner for our 43rd Anniversary and the food and service were great. We both had the prime fillet and my wife had the spinach salad and I had the wedge salad. Our server, Alexis was so nice and fun. She made our dining experience that much more special. We also received a complimentary dessert for our Anniversary. We highly recommend dining here.“

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.

“We are from Nebraska and wanted some fresh seafood and Coopers landing delivered. We got the sea bass to go the first night and it was amazing. We had drinks at the bar that were amazing the lavender lemon drop martini. We came back and ate in the restaurant the second night because it was so good. Our server Chris was amazing and recommended the best dishes and provided the best service. I would recommend this family friendly restaurant with the kindest staff.“

“Came in here for the first time the other day. Seriously had my mind blown . The service Amanda provided was excellent . She was quick, had great recommendations , explained the menu super thoroughly and never made us feel like an inconvenience .10/10 will come back just to see her .“

“Just the ambiance I've been looking for on the Island. The dim lighting, wine glasses and candles illuminating every table created an elegant vibe. It's romantic, warm, and still accommodating for larger groups. The vibe feels elevated, but relaxed. I made a reservation but I didn't need to. If you're familiar with this time of year on the island, it's usually a bit of a ghost town. We parked directly in front of the restaurant and the hostess immediately greeted and seated us. She even recognized my name from the reservation list which was a nice touch.“
