    Sunday Jam!  Standing Room only.   A lot of musicians just come out to see old friends and make new ones!
    Suzanne T.

    I have been coming here for 15 + yrs now! So happy the pandemic didn't kill this place like it did a lot of other local mom and pops. Because of the pandemic Katie's is no longer open 7 days a week but is slowly increasing the days of operation. You can go to Katie's Bar and Grill in Bacliff (on Grand Ave) for their calendar! You will never be disappointed coming here, the staff is welcoming, drinks are good, beer is ice cold, bar food is not bad (it's bar food y'all), the prices are excellent, the live music is always amazing with open mic jams on Sundays. A decent dance floor that stays packed. TVs showing your games! And a big out door patio for the smokers! You can reserve a table, booth or place at the bar. If you show up and the place is full, the staff will help you find a spot to sit....if any are left. They make all there patrons feel welcome and special. This past year, new owners took over Katie's! Greatest people you will have the pleasure to meet. Plus they are shaking things up! Bringing in all kinds of different bands/music. No longer just a blues bar. Special parking for motorcycles and extra parking in the back with access thru the patio area The place maybe small, but what's inside is definitely worth a visit. Especially if you are a fan of live music!

    Dance on!!

    Ringing in the new year here was SPECTACULAR! I had so much fun listening to the band, dancing and dining on the many dishes brought in to keep the crowd nourished. I wouldn't change a thing about Katie's...the mature crowd, live music and affordable drink options make the drive to Bacliff well worth it!

    Live music with some of the best blues players around sets Katie's apart from other bars in the area.

When we arrived, we chose to sit upstairs to enjoy the pretty ocean view and were served right away. The vibes were great with a lively crowd, a slight breeze, sunny weather, and beach hut inspired décor. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. It is honestly impressive that they serve 50 cent oysters all day, every day, so of course we ordered three dozen. The Gulf oysters were large and fresh, and they did not skimp on the cocktail sauce or horseradish. Even though this spot is pretty far from my house, the oyster deal alone might make it worth the drive. My dad and I also ordered the Fried Mushrooms. They were fried beautifully, crispy on the outside and perfectly bite sized, which made them very addictive. Our waiter recommended the Parmesan Crusted Redfish and said it was the best item on the menu. While it was good, the Parmesan coating leaned a bit salty. That said, it was cooked well and still enjoyable. If I came back, though, I would probably try something different, like the Fish Tacos he also suggested. Overall, between the unbeatable oyster deal, friendly service, and relaxed coastal atmosphere, this restaurant makes for a fun and worthwhile outing. While not every dish was perfect, the value and setting make it a place I would happily return to, especially on a sunny day.

I went with The Cactus King, one of their house-brewed beers, and paired it with the original chicken sandwich--perfect combo. The Cactus King is a standout. It's one of those beers you sip once and immediately want to order again. Dressed with Tajin Their beer menu is impressive across the board--everything from crisp lagers to bold stouts. As for the food--the original chicken sandwich was fantastic. Juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a toasted bun with just the right crunch. Fries were hot and crispy too. Nothing fancy, just done right. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a mix of indoor and patio seating, great views, dog friendly and friendly staff who actually know their beer.

We decided to get the tasting option and try some of the nice variety of beers and sours they offered. I can't remember which ones I got but I also tried my daughter and sister's choices. Everything was delicious except the wings we ordered were dry-rubbed and were too hard & crispy to me. I'm very picky about my buffalo wings, though. The service was fantastic and it's a fairly big place that is probably packed on the weekend. It's family friendly, too, with a playground right next to their outdoor patio.

The crawfish were fresh, juicy, and easy to peel (which matters if you know, you know). Whatever blend of spices they're using--keep doing that! And somehow it gets even better paired with a cold margarita and chips & salsa on the side. The mix of bold Cajun flavor with a laid-back Mexican restaurant vibe just works. Service was great, Lucia was our server, we sat on the bar patio and the atmosphere was a vibe Our food came out quick and hot! Definitely one of those hidden gem spots you don't expect but end up craving later. 10/10... would absolutely go back for another round

It has always been our go-to spot for great food and excellent service, so naturally, we chose it again to celebrate a special evening with our daughter. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to the experiences we've had in the past. From the moment we arrived, our waitress seemed disengaged and not very attentive. When we asked if our daughter's drink could be made a little special--with a cherry and a fun glass--it felt like an inconvenience rather than a simple request. The food was still delicious, which we appreciate, but we've noticed portions have gradually become smaller over the years while prices continue to rise. More disappointing, though, was the service, which fell short of what we've come to expect from a place that has meant so much to us. It's genuinely sad to see what feels like a slow decline in one of our longtime favorite spots.
