We came in as a party of four at 8:30 PM on a Thursday evening. They have a bunch of Galveston Marti Gras posters all over their walls-it was one of the first things we noticed coming in. We are not from Galveston ourselves, but we enjoyed looking at it while we were here. I ordered a Don Quixote Ranch water with half Sotol, half ghost tequila-this came with a nice kick but wasn't too spicy. They have hidden treasures behind their bar-I saw a stuffed cheetah and a rubber marti gras duck while examining their tequilas! We decided to do a pour of Don Julio Primavera as well. While it was pricey, it was worth the cost! We appreciated that they provided a lot of different types of tequila with a wide range of flavors. This is a very cool spot.

OMG- awesome experience! My Strawberry Cider Salad was incredibly delicious and my husband's Hangover Burger was terrific! Kyle, the bartender, was so courteous and attentive! We'll definitely come back next time we're in the area.

Searching for a parking space on the Strand and as fate would have it one opened up right in front of this joint. A laid way back tequila bar with fabulous margaritas & great appetizers. Had all my favorite tequilas that cut right to the point. And the service was spot on. Johnny was our bartender and besides making one hell of a margarita, he was a fountain of info about Galveston, the Strand and Mardi Gras. My attached photos show some of the Mardi Gras posters that line the walls and they are something to behold. Absolute works of art. Could not have asked for a better afternoon of day drinking and would highly recommend this bar. If you get the chance make Tsunami a bucket list destination and I hope you show up when Johnny is behind the bar.

Not sure if our bartender was new, but we stopped here for a to-go margarita to walk around on the Strand. Bartender took quite a while to make the drink. Just seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. It was one of the poorest margaritas I've ever had. Super sugary/syrupy, couldn't even taste tequila and then tasted like salt had been dumped in there-not just on the rim. For a tequila bar, we were pretty disappointed.
Drinks are going down like fine wine.....that is if wine tasted like an ice cold bud light

Credit card scam beware. Was charged twice for the same amount and bartender claimed my card didn't go through first time. He said something weird about Amex but my card has been used multiple times at that location already.

Avoid this place at all cost!!! Got carded at the door but still had to be wear wristbands even though we were 21+. We sat at the booth along the wall, they gladly took our money when we ordered drinks, but then the door guy and bartenders wanted to kick us out after 5 minutes citing they were closing the bar early before 2am. They did not want to allow us time to finish the drinks we just paid for, but then we noticed that the only ones getting kicked out were those wearing wristbands (even though there was a customer without a wristband who began screaming and smashed a glass on the bar, shattering glass everywhere). No one would tell us why about 10 other people were getting to stay while we were being forced to leave. Basically if you're not a drug addict or alcoholic regular, you're not welcome here. The owner either has no idea their employees are treating customers with such disgust or they simply have no regard for their customers.
Great
