Best Nightlife in Galveston

"Grab a bite to eat at this beachfront restaurant offering multi-level patio seating with ocean views. Mouthwatering burgers, delicious wings, or some fresh seafood are just a few of the items on their menu that are sure to please the whole family. The Spot is said to be an awesome location for happy hour, and it will leave you feeling satisfied no matter what kind."

"The Rooftop Bar is one of the more sophisticated places to stop in for a drink in Galveston. It sits atop The Tremont House hotel in the historic district and provides patrons a beautiful view of downtown and the harbor from four stories high. The lounge-like setting is the perfect venue to unwind with a specialty cocktail or glass of wine and take in the sights."

"Tucked inside the charming Victoria-era buildings of downtown are some of the islands best bars and clubs. Why not drink somewhere with some style, like the bar at Hearsay?. Or with a view, like The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House?"

"2401 Church Street Galveston, TX 77550 409-766-7170https://prohibitionreds.com/. Stop by and enjoy a cold craft beer and some piping hot Irish Nacho’s on Prohibition Red’s patio, in the bar, or while shooting a game of pool. And be sure to tip your paddy cap to Red O’Marrow!"

"Sometimes, all you want is a casual place to put your feet up, sit back, have a drink, grab some food, and make new friends — and each these you can accomplish at the Safari Beach Company. But what makes this Seawall hangout even better is the fact that all of what makes it a homey bar, finds itself situated right on the ocean. En route to making new pals and socializing, you’ll find yourself taking in the majestic sights and sounds of the ocean or just observing the steady parade of folks along Avenue M."

"Since Galveston is an island off of the Gulf Coast, it has fallen victim to multiple hurricanes and tropical storms over the years. However, it wasn’t until September 8, 1900 when a disastrous hurricane struck, that the need for a seawall was deemed necessary. At this point, it was the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history, taking 6,000 lives and causing $30 million dollars worth of damage."

"On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger stood on the balcony of the building and declared that all slaves were free, marking the date of the historic Juneteenth celebrations in Texas. Ashton Villa was not only the first mansion built on Broadway Boulevard, it was the first mansion built on the island and one of the first brick residences in Galveston, according to Galveston.com. Constructed in 1859 by James M. Brown, a wealthy businessman, the three-story home was built in the Victorian Italianate style and features ornate verandas adorned with cast iron accents."

"Built in Victorian Italianate style, Ashton Villa was one of the first brick structures in Texas when it was constructed in 1859. European craftsmen and slave labour were used to build this home for Colonel James Moreau Brown, a prominent hardware merchant and banker. Today the Villa is home to the Galveston Island Visitors Centre."

"At Donut Palace, they pride themselves on serving the freshest donuts in town. This clean and unassuming mom-and-pop bakery often has a line out the door — and for good reason!. Their fritters, muffins, and donuts are simply delicious."

"They are all tiny, almost inconspicuous places that remind me more of truck stops than bakeries. Donut Palace fits right into the formula. And, like Dawn Donuts earlier, has similar, early morning hours."
