Gay bar · Galveston

"Tucked away off of 25th Street is Galveston’s best-kept secret. Islanders flock to this bar for the unassuming atmosphere, fabulous drag shows, and ice-cold drinks. The tropical-themed courtyard patio also has a pool for patrons to enjoy, but what might be most remarkable is the history of Robert’s Lafitte. Opened in 1965, long-time owner Robert Mainor owned the spot from 1970 until his death in 2022, making it the oldest LGBTQ bar in Texas." - Lane Gillespie, Eater Staff
