"If you long for the days when you could smoke inside at a bar, Island Pier Club near East Beach and the Seawall is for you. The one-room bar has all the dive essentials: only one bartender (who is probably the nicest bartender on the planet), a pool table that is always occupied by people who are intimidatingly good at pool, various push-button slot machines, a TV that somehow always plays sports, bags of random chips for sale, and some kind of jukebox—analog or otherwise. This is the kind of place where you just order a beer and a shot. Don’t get fancy, unless the nice bartender tells you to." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Whether this neighborhood hangout is the best dive in town is up for debate. What sets it apart, though, is the loud music, the fun bartenders ready to party, and its great service." - Robert Dean

Small dive bar this is . Drinks flow and the staff is friendly. The jukebox is loud with a great selection, one pool table and a few sweepstakes machines (call them cheap slots ) great place to meet the locals and have cheap shots and cold beers. A must stop.

It's a 5 star dive bar!! Pool, karaoke, great people, cheap drinks, and a pool table. Val is a wonderful bartender, nothing but compliments for her.

Came here for a Super Bowl Watch party that they posted on Facebook. Didn’t even have the game on. The drink was good. Lots of pot going on, even sitting outside. Had hopes of a fun local bar for the game. Don’t bother. They make you feel like you don’t belong.

As a rule my boyfriend and I prefer hole in the wall local bars to corporate. However we started tonight at a corporate bar and took the bar's manager up on his recommendation when his bar closed earlier than advertised. No regrets. Val. Is an amazing bartender. The drinks are well made and the crowd of regulars made us feel like we were at our own home bar. Will be returning. No questions.

A good neighborhood bar with friendly bartenders. I love their logo. I asked about it and realized it is taken from the old Falstaff logo. Saturdays are customer appreciation day. Show up wearing one of their shirts and your second drink is free.

Great local bar, meet friends here. Enjoy great personable service and decent prices on drinks. Have different events, something for everyone. Great place for sports viewing and karaoke every other Saturday. Also machines if that's your thing.

Cool little dive bar. Nothing fancy at all. If you want to belly-up to the bar, have inexpensive beers, and fight the smell of cigarette smoke then this is a cool spot. It's a good dive bar.

Great small hole in the wall bar in the middle of the neighborhood we stayed at the bartender was great and the locals were friendly. If you want a nice place to chill, shoot pool and listen to the jukebox this is it. Val is the evening bartender there so make sure you take care of her and she will take care of you. Never ran out of refreshments.

Beer price was "fair" ($4 bottle), kinda cool place BUT smoky smelling, overpowering. Maybe have an air cleaner or something. It's ok for a quick stop.

We had a couple of drinks here that were pretty good. The bar in general is small and they had some good musicians that night who made do with a cramped corner hole. Interestingly, a regular horned in to play the harmonica with the paid players but that turned out pretty well, actually. The main bummer is that the place reeked of cigarette smoke and you will too when you go.

Val is a great bartender she was super busy and let me know it would be a minute before she can get my drink which is nice I didn't feel ignored. She's really funny and nice and made me feel welcome! I'm from out of town and she's super sweet love this bar definitely will come back to see her. Good people and great Atmosphere! If your looking for a small lil dive bar this is the place to be. Also it was my birthday great time thank you Val

Fun little dive bar. Interesting patrons. I wouldve given it more stars except the bartendar was just too drunk for me on a monday night. Overall, it was entertaining.

We love this bar!! If it wasn't 1930 miles from my house, we'd be regulars. Great bartenders and patrons. Super welcoming and friendly. Made our trip from Seattle to Galveston even more special. We'll be back as soon as we can!

LOVE this dive bar! Great staff and vibe, love the live music and roll those dice at the bar. We always head here for a night cap when in Galveston

"5 star dive bar". That's exactly what this place is. I'm creating this review a couple of months late. We were here Memorial Day weekend in May. We had an amazing time. Btw - Val is the absolute best! She is incredibly inviting and kind. She gave great recommendations of the island and amazing service. We can't wait to come back!

Valerie is AMAZING! We love a good local dive bar, but this place takes it up a notch. Super friendly and been twice during our vaca. Will come back from Houston! Just to have a great weekend here.

Brittany L.

Yelp
Coolest dive bar on the island! Cheap drinks, great service and fun locals to converse with. Apparently there's a cat problem but we love cats so we didn't mind. They don't bother you anyway, they're just sprawled out on the sidewalk to the left of the bar. My only issue was the smell inside the bar. We had to sit outside because it was strong and funky but it may have just been an off night. Will definitely return.

This bar is wonderful. Val made us feel at home from the minute we walked in. As a bar owner myself I must say - great find with that woman. We stayed 4 hours longer than intended.

Great neighborhood bar. Bartenders and patrons are warm and friendly. I vacation here in the winter and the bar reminds me of some of my local haunts up in Ohio.

This place is so awesome. The bartenders are so welcoming and always have a smile. I do a barcycle here once a month and people always love to come to this place. The bloody Mary's are the BEST! Highly highly recommend!!!!

The single worst bar in Galveston. Horrible service and horrible bartenders. The bartenders ignored us at multiple attempts to get their attention and then acted like it was a problem when we wanted to make an order.

Owned by a local family man, this is a nice place with great prices.

This is obviously a local's bar... and if these are the locals, I'm really glad I don't live here. The clientele here is really not welcoming to outsiders. I travel a lot and enjoy going to local establishments. I've never felt more uncomfortable in a bar than in this one. BE WARNED
