Float Pool & Patio Bar - Got an American Burger with a Mango Margarita and the service is caring and nice, will come back for good food and drinks at Galveston. - Bars Near Me - Galveston, Texas

service was fine the waitress didn't come to our table for about 20 minutes because she was talking to one person the whole time I could see her but my biggest issue is that after 2 pm on a weekday children can't get in the pool like wtf that's the appeal to the place read more

I love float so much! I always have a great time when I drop by! They have great tasting drinks, and I love to dip my feet in the pool while enjoying my drink.They have a pool that connects to the bar and some seats inside the water with a little bar, where you can order drinks & food and never have to leave the pool. The vibes here are always so cool, they play great music and always have a nice party vibe going. The staff is pretty laid back, and they have both indoor & outdoor seating which is always a plus because it gives you a great view of the ocean! read more

Good heavens, what a marvel! I didst wander into the Float Pool & Patio Bar expecting but a modest watering hole, yet lo--'twas a veritable Shangri-La of merriment. The libations floweth as freely as gossip at a quilting bee, and the pool itself did beckon like a siren promising both refreshment and the faintest chance of sunburn. The patio--spacious enough to host a county fair--proved ideal for lounging, cavorting, or pretending to be far more genteel than one truly is. I declare, had ye told me in my youth that one could sip a cocktail whilst dangling one's feet in cool waters, I would've scoffed and demanded a duel. Yet here I am, thoroughly vanquished, my honor surrendered to margaritas. Five stars, lest I be thought a fool. read more

Jakobe might be new behind the bar, but you'd never know it. He's got a natural talent for making people feel welcome and taken care of. Drinks come out quick, made right, and with a smile (even when it's busy). He asks questions to make sure you get exactly what you want, and he's already picking up the pace like he's been doing this for years. Float Pool & Patio Bar has a great vibe, and Jakobe definitely adds to it -- friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. Excited to see him grow into one of the go-to bartenders here. read more

I have been to Galveston hundreds of times and never have I seen this place! We came on Mardi Gras weekend, so our reservations at BLVD were made for 2 and we had an hour to kill. Walked to Float and I am forever thankful we did!! Walked in and you could just tell it was a local restaurant. We kind of stuck out because I had my 16 month old with me and the entire room is centered around the bar. Tons of people inside, so we decided to go outside and figured out why it's called Float!!! There is a pool on the outside deck!!!!!!! You can sit out side and even go upstairs on the deck and have a beach view! We decided to go up! Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating! She had our drinks to us in a matter of minutes! I chose a mimosa and my mom had the Beach Babe. The waitress told her that was her favorite! It was sweet and delicious! Since we were eating a late lunch, we decided to just get the chips and queso. EPIC!!! Loved the salsa the most! My daughter loved the queso! The best part of the whole experience was the staff! The manager came and checked on us multiple times. Our waitress was amazing. When she was busy with other tables, the other waitstaff helped with delivering drinks and checking in on us! They loved interacting with my daughter and watching her run around the pool and play! Wonderful experience!!!! We can't wait to come back in the summer and wear our swim suits!! read more

I stopped in for the pool and stayed for the burger! Service was great thank you Ansley & Teresa. I will be back

I love coming here for happy hour and enjoying the pool bar! Happy hour is 4-7 on M-F and I love the crawfish egg rolls and mozzarella sticks. They also offer $3 margs and $6 beer pitchers which is a steal. There is lots of seating and even when it gets busy I didn't feel like the pool was overcrowded. There are indoor and outdoor tables and a second level as well so plenty of space and each table has umbrellas for shade. I also appreciate that after 2PM there is a no kids policy. read more

Ambiance is relaxing, food is decent tasting. Drinks to me were somewhat lacking but ok. We get in pool and join a birthday party group. Everything seemed going great until the pregnant manager started picking on people. She got into it with the birthday girl and it was a screaming match, very unprofessional. Then she came over and told us we had to turn off our music because they only want the music from the jukebox playing. But the jukebox doesn't play unless you put money in it. We left read more

Float Pool & Patio Bar - Burger/fries with a view - Bars Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I got kicked out for commenting that a dog didn't have a service jacket on. Didn't care about the dog or the jacket, owner was being rude, I made a comment and get kicked out by the manager mark before even ordering anything! So completely rude. Basically if you are not a local or a regular, they treat you pretty crappy! read more

Love going to this place when I visit the pier. The burgers are amazing and highly recommend. Drinks are cheap with the most expensive one being about 7 dollars. The view is great. The only thing that sucks is that the tables are small. You. can seat maybe 5 people per table. The way the restaurant is set up makes it impossible for tables to be put together. --------- I came back after a couple of years and this place is just as good as I remember it. They had a 5 dollar special that included land shark, burger, and fries Parking: if it's a busy day you will have to park across the street on the seawall and walk over Service: excellent service! Our waitress was quick and attentive read more
