Unbeknownst to some, Galveston is a dive bar town. From the Seawall to Broadway, streets are lined with dimly-lit joints stockpiled with cold longnecks, an assortment of whiskeys, and laid-back vibes that are welcoming to locals and tourists alike.
Chances are, if you order a martini, they might not have the ingredients. But these dives are less about the fancy stuff, and more about the things that matter — imbibing in good company. So grab a few bucks for the jukebox, some quarters for the pool table, and get comfortable with an unfussy drink that might be served in a plastic cup. The atmosphere will make up for it. Here are Galveston’s best dives.
