As a rule my boyfriend and I prefer hole in the wall local bars to corporate. However we started tonight at a corporate bar and took the bars manager up on his recommendation when his bar closed earlier than advertised. No regrets. Val. Is an amazing bartender. The drinks are well made and the crowd of regulars made us feel like we were at our own home bar. Will be returning. No questions.

A good neighborhood bar with friendly bartenders. I love their logo. I asked about it and realized it is taken from the old Falstaff logo.Saturdays are customer appreciation day. Show up wearing one of their shirts and your second drink is free.

Was good until a wedding party came in and we were having a good time playing pooland listening to music and bar tender told us to quiet down after ordering 8 drinks and everyone left. Do locals keep this belar open or the non locals who come to penalty and spend money?

Absolutely my favorite bar in Galveston. I love this local joint. The beer is cold, the bartenders are always friendly. Some friends introduced me to this place and Ive loved it ever since. Be sure and check out the cats next door when you go... they are the official greeters. LOL

We were visiting Galveston for our friends 10 year anniversary and my birthday. We were looking for somewhere to take shots at midnight at to celebrate the beginning of my birthday and came across Island Pier Club. Valerie, the bartender, was extremely welcoming and at midnight she came around the bar with a lemon drop shot with a lit candle attached to the rim of the glass. Super thoughtful and special. She took great care of us.

From Aurora Colorado Great atmosphere, great bartender, and good selection of music with a sound system that sounds great. Its a bit small but thats a good thing, seems its a lot of locals that frequent and most were pretty friendly. I would Definitely recommend stopping by and enjoying yourself.
