18 Best Restaurants & Bars On Galveston Island

"Daiquiri Time Out makes some of the best cocktails on the island. Located just off the Strand in a converted corner store, DTO is full of plush booths, flamingo wallpaper, and even an adorable glittery pink toilet seat in the bathroom. Beyond that, the cocktail menu features a few seasonal riffs from the bartenders, and more than a few pages of classics. DTO also has an excellent food truck with tacos and Mexican small plates. Try the lamb barbacoa tacos or tostones with mango and chayote from the truck, and eat on the patio to take in the sea breeze, or the sound of incoming cruise ships. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
