18 Best Restaurants & Bars On Galveston Island

"What looks to be a giant Tiki-themed beachside clubhouse is actually The Spot, a bar and grill on Seawall Boulevard. Since The Spot is made up of one restaurant and three bars rolled into one paradise, you can head here for live music, giant frozen mojitos, and a few bites. And with all the space, The Spot sees everyone from families attacking appetizer samplers to party crews going to town on frozen drink flights. While the place serves just about everything—from mammoth burgers, to flaming-hot buffalo wings, to diablo shrimp tacos—the most impressive part of hanging out here comes from the sunset, so head up to the highest part of the patio and grab a rum punch to take in the views." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
