    Band from July 22nd
    On L.

    Cool island spot. Easy to get to from the mainland. The wait staff were friendly and fast. Patio had a three piece band that played blues, rock and country at a very comfortable volume.

    Mitzi the bartender is fast, efficient and friendly. The rest of the regulars are BOI or close. I'm Australian but they still let me in and always open for a chat. This is one of the best real bars on The Island. My musical friend The Reverend Dr. Otis"Sweet Papa" Futhermucker uses this place everytime he's down from Houston.

    Simple, but nice environment. Good drinks. Great patio. I stopped by for a drink and spent the evening hanging with good people.

    Thin crust pizza, a rarity! The owner Jack was there to greet us, friendly bartender, lots of…read moresmiling faces & regulars. Pizza was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced compared to others in town. You get to pick your toppings from many selections. We've had their pizza often since we discovered them 5 years ago. 8/10/2025 Tonight we split the fried catfish dinner. Nice thin cornmeal batter, 4 pieces plus tots (substituted for fries), hush puppies and coleslaw. Plenty to split! Very light!!! Ok other than the tots. Love Jacks for their food! ! It's a smoky dive bar but the food is fantastic! We don't go in and hang, both of us being former smokers, but we love their food! I hear their green chicken enchiladas are amazing! Will report back. One note, prices are a little higher than the menus online, maybe by $5. Still very reasonable!!!

    This is a comedic bar. It's not a place that I would recommend going to unless you're hungry and…read moreit's past 10:30 p.m. in Galveston, Texas. Otherwise, I'd stay the hell away from here. If you want to see an empty pool table, maybe play around. That's a reason to go. If you want some decent late-night food, it's not a chain. It's your only option. That's a reason to go. Again, outside of that, I highly recommend finding something better. But it is Texas, and there's jack shit for food. But this place is one of the few places left that still lets you smoke inside. So you know, different strokes for different folks.

    I came here for two things, the novelty of a pirate themed bar and Vietnamese coffee, however I…read morefound it to offer so much more! The food was astronomical, mark my words BEST PHO ON THE ISLAND, there I said it. The Pirate Seafood pho with chicken was dynamic with a flavor that I kept coming back for. It was like that scene in Ratatouille where the critic Anton Ego is at a loss for words. If there's one thing I know about Phos they usually take 3+ limes and a dollop of sriracha to make it taste right...but this? Perfect as is. Needs not a touch of anything more. My only regret not getting here sooner. Spike the owner, a loving man who cares about atmosphere, personalized service and taking care of your needs. He provided service as if you were sitting at the dinning room table of his own house. Show Spike and Pirate Island Bar & Grill some love, it's beachfront, quiet, and has a seat there just waiting for you.

    This, as other Yelpers have noted, is not a fast food establishment. Everything is made to order…read moreand fresh. So, if you step in and it's a full house settle in and enjoy the experience! I eat here on a regular basis, Spike makes an amazing margarita with fresh squeezed juice. The pirate rolls, wings, Pad Thai with Grilled Pork (I prefer level 3 spicy because habenero keeps me humble), Banh Mi Sandwich and Vermicelli bowls are all on regular rotation. See you at the bar-but not on Tuesday, because they are closed.

They let us taste different versions of Jameson's because we were trying to stick with the Irish theme We met some nice people too.

I was with a friend and we were talking mad shit about someone (we are both geminis ) sorry we like to gossip when we get a little buzzed. We are bad. Oh well. ....Anyways we were talking shit about someone for something ridiculous and fucked up they did to me and the bartender went and told that person I guess they knew them (small island LOLOLOLOLOL) Them telling this person made them start harassing me and making threats and literally calling my phone all night long. It was a nightmare. All bc this bartender didn't like the 80$ tip we left on a 65$ tab of shitty drinks. He was cool or so we thought! You are a traitor man !!!! We thought you were our buddy and we had some really good conversation and laughs ! :( :( I haven't been back since. I'm sure they don't give a shit about this review i wouldn't either. I just find it funny that I spent like 200$ on alcohol within a couple days there for them to make me the target of a stalker lol
