18 Best Restaurants & Bars On Galveston Island

"A night at the speakeasy Pineapple Parlor is the most fun you will have in Galveston. It begins with subscribing to a newsletter, finding a pineapple keypad behind Daiquiri Time Out, and then walking into the bar over a misty moat fountain while bartenders light cocktails on fire. Like the Volcano Bowl filled with spiced rum and blue guava that’s served with a pyrotechnic flame-throwing fire show, as well as other tiki classics like pearl divers, fog cutters, and, of course, daiquiris. Plus, each drink comes with a snack, so feel free to belly up to the bar for an entire evening." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
