14 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“

“My daughter, granddaughter and I visited Vida Agave on Saturday 3/22/2025 on my daughter’s recommendation. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant was bright and welcoming with large windows everywhere and the outdoor dining area was inviting. Our server, Lizeth Dargy, was very friendly and helpful. She recommended the seafood enchiladas for me. My daughter ordered the Birria Tacos and my 4 year old granddaughter ordered the corn dog from the children’s menu. Luis delivered the enchiladas to me personally and asked me to give them an honest review because he wanted to put them on the menu. Everything was delicious! I highly recommended that he put the enchiladas on the menu. I’m not a huge fan of tomato sauces so the sauce on the enchiladas was a welcome surprise. It was a light reddish color but didn’t have any tomato in it. It was bell peppers, cream, and other seasonings and it was very delicious with the seafood enchiladas. The Burria Tacos were equally delicious. The portions were also generous. Vida Agave was everything my daughter said it was and more. I will definitely visit again soon.“

“Rudy and Paco's will forever be ingrained in our hearts as our favorite Anniversary restaurant.

From immaculate plates of food to flawless service this place is beyond amazing. Every single bite of food is made to make you just melt into your seat. Adding perfectly crafted cocktails along with a huge selection of alcoho fantastically compliments an outstanding evening with my Wife.

If I had to summarize Rudy and Paco's in one word, it would be: Phenomenal. As close to perfect as I have ever had.“
