17 Best Cocktail Bars in Galveston

“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!!“

“Best drinks & bartenders. I'm so glad I found this hidden gem, even though it's part of a huge building on Market Street. They have the most amazing grilled cheese too. Highly recommended you stop on your next Galveston visit.“

“This place is the real deal! Brad and the staff have created one of the best bars in the entire area with killer drinks and an amazing atmosphere! Go check it out!“

“The Hostess took initiative and provided us with more comfortable seating. Service was superb. The waiter enthusiastically explained each dish. The drinks were delivered in style. The redfish Al Abella was excellently prepared. There were several offerings on the menu that we will have to try in future visits.“

“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.“

“The food needs some work. 1st was the blue cheese olives. I sent my drink back. I love dirty martinis with blue cheese olives but if the blue cheese olives are not right i dont want the martini b/c the olives makes the drink. You could tell those were not fresh. The cheese inside was hard and grainy. It tasted awful and had the texture of sand. Please don't use store bought, make them fresh. Second was the appetizers. We had the tartar and the ahi nachos and both were lacking flavor. Lack luster and bland at best. Last was the dessert. We got 3 of them. Coconut cream pie was decent but the bread pudding was lacking sauce and the creme Brulee lacked flavor and the texture was off. It was to whipped in the cream and the sugar part wasnt right either. I cant even describe it. Only thing that saved the dinner was the entrees, the ambiance, the service and the coffee.“

“Be sure to use the dedicated elevator to the right of hotel reception. There’s no access from the hotel room side, at least there’s not supposed to be.

Been several times and have enjoyed the drinks, view and food. Service is generally very good and friendly. Can be a little slow when crowded, but never been a big issue.

One issue we had on Fat Tuesday when it just opened was there was a long line to get in caused by the hostess inexplicably asking each party for their name and mobile number. Finally another employee showed up and escorted guests to available tables without the unnecessary questions. Hopefully this issue of causing delays has been corrected.“
