This is a simple brewery that gives very industrial Galveston vibes. I must note that their parking lot had a VERY strong poop smell, although we couldn't tell what the source was. Their drinks are reasonably priced, while their food is on the pricey side. We got the Beach Please, Berry Optimistic strawberry lemonade shandy, ravioli bites, and a pretzel. The pretzel was really fragrant and tasty, and I normally don't like pretzels. The ravioli bites were tasty as well. I really liked the shandy as it had a sweet taste, per the employee's recommendation. They let us try samples, and gave us free pickle juice shots. These shots were very unpleasant, as expected. read more

Came for Monday night family bingo and ended up staying longer than planned. The beer list is bigger than you'd expect, with solid happy hour deals. We snacked our way through pretzels, pizza, and sandwiches -- all easy, tasty beer companions. The new air‑conditioned seating area is a major upgrade since our last visit and perfect for summer Texas heat. read more

This is such a cool local spot! Whenever we're in town we try to stop by. Michael was working this last time and he is great! Gotta love service with a smile! Friendly people; great beer; happy hour specials and the food is pretty good! I tried the new sausage ricotta pizza (forgot the name) and it was delicious. I think it'd be better w thicker crust and some jalapeños but the flavor combo was spot on. read more

Love it that you can sit in the brew room! 2 bar keeps 100% professional and honestly just seemed like good people, young man and lady. Citrus IPA was very good, recommend it. Causeway Blonde was a little flat. 3$ for a souvenir pint glass was nice. Soft pretzel was standard (but I like all soft pretzels). Wish it was on the beach but I will say, this is a good stop. read more

Friendly and helpful bar staff!!! Great selection of beers. The Tiki Colada was fabulous. We had two flights and the pickle pizza which was very unique. It pretty fun to sit upstairs and overlooking brewery operations! read more

Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing Brewery Stop 9/10 for Texas (about to win our 4th state- whoop) showed on maps as 55min from our Houston stay, actual time was about 1hr 40min, with traffic and traffic was THICK. The outdoor space here is fantastic, with lots for the littles to keep busy with. Indoors there was ample seating, and they have an upper level for adults only. Not surprisingly, most people were outside, we sat inside on the lower level. It was quiet. There was a decent selection of brews, including our preferred darks. The peanut butter porter pint was perhaps best enjoyed in a taster It was rather busy. Be sure to check out the bathroom 1 way mirror - trippy. read more

Such a cute and chill spot! We came by to have a beer and play some cards, and it was the perfect setting. There's a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating, plus an upstairs area that overlooks the brewery--super cool vibe. If you're bringing kids, there's even a playground to keep them entertained, and the little gift shop is full of fun finds. I had the Beach Please Lager--light, refreshing, with just a hint of salt and lime (perfect beachy vibe). My friend went with the Citra Mellow IPA, which was smooth and flavorful. Both beers were delicious. Bonus points for the awesome music playlist that added to the laid-back atmosphere. I'd definitely come back! read more

We searched for breweries on the Island, and chose this one. We arrived just in time to grab some beers and play trivia from 6-8 on a Wednesday night. It was a blast! Super great beer selection. Awesome bartender. Awesome trivia. And the outdoor seating area is so cool! Tons of seats and playground for kids! I plan to stop back by after our cruise for beer to take home! read more

Galveston Island Brewing has come a long way since they started as a tiny micro brewery with only bar seating. The brewery has it all. Indoor seating is available near the taproom and in the brewing area, outdoor seating is ample in their patio and playground area which kids will love, the bar area has a gift shop, and the multiple restrooms are a nice touch. Beer wise, they're pretty solid. They tend to specialize in lighter beers like heffes and wheat ales. Those tend to compliment the hot humid coastal weather nicely. Absolutely avoid the sours! Don't expect much service after you order. While super friendly and chatty behind the bar, staff won't go out into the tables to check on you or ask you if you need anything - at least they didn't for our groups. And that's actually alright. They're helpful enough early on that we didn't need for anything. Parking is a little tight but available on the nearby streets as well. read more

Beer was good, bathrooms were clean and servers had smiley faces. We would have liked an alternative to an $18 bottle of stout to take home, and the pretzels, while very tasty, were poorly presented with one packet of plain yellow mustard each and a microwaveable container of nacho cheese, which listed cheese down on the list of ingredients. Needs a little more pride of ownership and we'd give two more stars. Edited to add there was one stout in cans, but no prices listed at all that we could see for the to go offerings. read more

My Uncle recommended stopping here. I did not partake but my dad loved it. The day was a bit on the cooler side but we still sat outside. Plenty of outdoor seating but there is still some tables/chairs indoors too. I couldn't believe how many people brought their little kids! We were actually the only ones who DIDN'T bring children! Seriously, there were probably 10 couples there, each with kiddos. There is a small playground outside. Would never have thought this was a family friendly place but apparently it is! Oh, and one couple had a dog too. Beers were great according to my dad and uncle. I don't drink too much so I didn't want to have a beer and drive home a bit tipsy (cough cough light weight). I'd LOVE to see a non alcoholic beer produced! There were a handful of food options but I couldn't recall any other than pretzels. Bartender was nice. She was the only person we interacted with. Bar kitty was friendly. read more

One of my OG fav breweries , I don't think I've ever been here and not found something on the board for the day that I didn't just LOVE . There are so many seating options here too , you can sit outside in the sun , you can sit under the covering , you can sit inside by the bar , you can sit inside by the brewery equipment OR you can go upstairs where it's 18+ only . My kiddos love the pretzel here and honestly I've tried so many pretzels and I always would pick theirs , it's just the perfect amount of " gooey" in the center that keeps me wanting more . Did I mention that they also have a playground for the kiddos ? Staff are always super laid back and friendly , on Saturdays at 1pm they do FREE tours . Highly recommend stopping by . read more

Busy little brewery and we quickly found out why! We tried their Oktoberfest beer and it was really good. Of all the breweries we visited during this trip, they are the only ones selling steins, made in Germany! We had to get one of course, and because I checked in on Yelp, I got 10% off of it! How cool! The people were friendly as well. Another gentleman also bought a stein and ended up hanging out with us for a bit talking about more breweries around the area. read more

Great Brewery for friends and family! I came after laying out on the beach all day. Perfect spot not too far from the seawall. In fact, minutes from the seawall! Always looking for different spots and it was nice to find this gem. I tried something a little different when visiting..I tried their Galveston Tiki Colada beer. I know!!! Calm down, give me a chance. I know it sounds gross and whatnot, but it wasn't! Great for the summer and sits light. They have all different types of house made beers I highly recommend. Until next time G.I.B! read more

Great selection of craft beers, and unlike some small breweries, they all tasted different. We hit the place twice while we were there and on the second visit, tried a warm pretzel. We like their beer & taproom enough to buy a few of their logo wear. The wife has a hoodie, I've got a tin for the garage and a couple 6 packs I took home. read more

We were there for a party. The beer is good, it is a brewery after all. Nice indoor and outdoor seating I didn't try there food truck. They have a small play structure, but it's tiny and only for kids younger than 5, maybe less. The older kids were bored out of their minds. I wouldn't bring mine again. read more

So much fun at bingo night at Galveston Island Brewing. Tons of interesting and unique options for craft beer - chocolate peanut butter and roasted coffee for the win.

Not for vacationers, clearly locals hang here. People at the bar didn't even have shoes on, like the bottom of their feet was black, nasty! The music machine says not to play certain kinds of music or they'll turn it off!!! Good tiki beer, however they clearly don't care about promoting their beer or making money because their lack for vacationers coming in. Could be a really cool place, but the locals who hang there run in the ground. read more

Galveston Island Brewing was nice. We came for our friends birthday. I am not a beer drinker so I was happy to see soda and seltzers as an option. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as some food options. They have board games that you can play while you drink and they were hosting a beer and yoga class when we arrived. They gave our friends their first beer free since it was their birthdays. read more

First time here after they updated and renovated. It looks great! I love the outside, save for one very big mistake on their part... the playscape. I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again- children don't belong at breweries. If you can't enter a website under 21, you shouldn't enter the actual f-ing bar either. Those of us who hate kids appreciate the few places we can go with a guarantee that they won't be there, and I really wish breweries would understand this. The beer per usual was delicious and staff was very friendly. We ordered a pretzel and it was awesome! Almost got 2. They also have really great merch, from the shirts to the dog collars and everything in between. read more

Good food but great beer! We got the tiki wheat and it was delicious. The staff is friendly and the inside is nice and air conditioned. The outside has a good playground and plenty of space.

Galveston Island Brewing was our first stop into town, and we couldn't have picked a better place to stretch our legs (and get a fantastic pint) before our beach house was ready. The kiddos loved the playground. We loved the beer and vibe. I was particularly living vicariously through the retired "regulars" that were bellied up to the bar, talking to the sweet bartender. We're making GIB a tradition for when we first get into town. read more

Sweet little brewery off the beaten track on the island. We sampled on 2 flights. My brother really liked the tiki wheat, daughter & husband enjoyed the plum saison, and I loved the stranded in a barrel. The beers all have their own good uniqueness!! The seating was mostly outside but it was a raining day & we choose to stay inside. Thankfully 1 of the 2 tables inside was available. There is construction going on so hopefully they are expanding for more inside seating. read more
