First of all, I came for the cinco de mayo beer special that is clearly advertised on the wall. The bartender never refused to give me those prices, but she didn't offer them either. I was really upset. She also had really pretty hair. It was aggravating how pretty it was. I ordered a cocktail and the Turkey melt.The food was good, EXCEPT they placed a pickle on top of my chips and it made them soggy. Eww. The cocktail was pretty decent. It could have had one more cube of ice, but I'm not trying to nit-pick. Everything was going great until I had to relieve myself in the bathroom. I have irritable bowel syndrome and the Turkey melt was running it's course. I went to the bathroom and it was so tiny!!! The hand dryer is located too close to the commode and it kept going off while I was trying to relieve myself. I also think they need to fix their jukebox, it was broken and kept playing musicals. I mean, horrible songs from Annie, rocky horror picture show, and grease. Just kidding. This place is great, despite the horrible musicals. Haha....

If you've had some drinks and need something to chow on, then go ahead - that's what it's for. $9.50 for a microwaved sandwich, so if you're up for that, cool. For an Irish establishment, there was not very much the Irish feel, but then, this is Galveston, TX, so also, if you're up for that, cool.

Read moreThis is the oldest bar still operating in downtown Galveston. They opened in 1986. Tiffany took great care of us. It’s definitely a locals hang out. We stopped in on a late Saturday afternoon and everyone who walked in after us seemed to know each other. They were all very welcoming to us though. Prices are great. 4 drinks was $17 before tip (don't forget to tip your bartenders!). The decor is really fun. Witty sayings and fun dive bar stuff that makes it unique. They have a small room off the regular bar area with a jukebox, tables and dartboards. Highly recommend if you want a fun Irish experience with decorative flare....
