This is my favorite bar in Galveston. I'm someone who prefers a laid back vibe for bars and Market…read moreStation accomplishes just that. The music doesn't blare through the speakers and there's usually room to roam around even on a busy Friday night. If I ever feel like stepping away from the main crowd to recharge my social battery, I can turn to the many free games including connect four, shuffleboard, and pool. Alternatively, during my most recent visit on a Monday night, I can sit down on a comfortable sofa and watch some football with my buddies. Their happy hour runs from 4-8pm everyday. In addition, their weekly specials offer a discount on a different alcohol every day of the week (usually 8-11pm with some exceptions). I usually opt for the lemon drop or a green tea shot but the tiki wheat is a popular option if you're a beer person. I'd choose here over a club in Galveston 9 times out of 10. Market Station is a great place to visit if you're looking for a night out and want to easily socialize with others.

I've been a loyal customer at Market for years, but last night (8/9/25) was the worst service I've…read moreever had here. The redish haired bartender with a centipede looking thing for a tattoo on her left arm made me one round of espresso martinis, after letting out a big sigh and giving me an eye roll. When I tried to order a 2nd round, she flat-out refused to make any more espresso martinis, claiming they were "out of espresso." That would be believable... if I hadn't watched the two other bartenders (who were very nice btw) make them for other guests right in front of me. After being told they were out of espresso by the red headed bartender, I went a couple chairs down to the other bartender on duty who happily made me more espresso martinis. That's not just bad service -- that's lying to a regular customer for no reason. It was lazy, petty, and extremely unprofessional. If she can't be bothered to do her job, maybe she shouldn't be behind the bar. Management needs to take a hard look at who they have representing their business, because one arrogant bartender shouldn't be allowed to wreck the reputation of an otherwise great place. If the red headed bartender with the centipede looking thing for a tattoo on her left arm is working, avoid at all costs.

I dislike the huge ones that you practically have to cut up or rearrange because there's an excess of corned beef. The service was quick and very friendly too. Losing a star because it's very smoky in there and I'd never want to stay and eat/drink, but I'll definitely get takeout again! Shame it still allows smoking because it's super cosy and dark, and if not for the smokiness, I'd love it inside.

The bartender let me know the ticket wait was 30-60 minutes. She took my phone number I chose to pop back to my beach rental. I came back once it had been 30 minutes and my food was ready! It took the bartender some time to get the food, bag it up, bring it to us, and then take our payment. She was awesome! The restaurant really should have provided another bartender to assist, especially considering how busy they were. There were many big screen tvs playing sports. There were large ceiling fans. Overall I am glad I stopped there! It wasn't too loud and , despite being packed, eating inside or on their porch would have been nice.

February 18, 2022…read more Stopped in for dinner before Mardi Gras umbrella parade on east end. Owners are of Buckshot Saloon, fyi. This place is small with cute decor, small bar, TV's, game room and outdoor area for seating and golf cart parking. We got there at 6:15p on a Friday and they were already on a wait. I think because this location is west of Jamaica Beach (with more families, ie parties of 4+) they will fill up quicker at prime time. Because they were busy, bar service was slow and without any details, how can u serve a "lollipop" martini without 1 garnish?!! Anyways, we were sat at the kitchen area but, didn't have to wait for a table (compromise) We got fresh chips and salsa, and ordered an appetizer of fresh guac; good. We shared an order of beef fajitas for 1, served with, tortillas, rice (had no flavor) beans, pico (tsp-really?!) and dollop of guacamole. The onions and peppers were overcooked, beef was tough and chewy so, that was disappointing. Maybe because they were slammed all at once? It's a nice place to consider especially in summer when you can hang out outside.
