Why is Galveston not part of America?
We were recently asked, "What makes Galveston feel like its own country?" Do people from Galveston think they live in their own country?
Ask about any locals; they will tell you they only leave the island when forced to leave. When they leave, we say we're going to America!

Best Happy Hour on the Island
If you're looking for a place to have a cold beverage and enjoy the gulf view. We have many to choose from for sure! But if you're looking for the best happy hour prices on the island one of our favorite new spots is Nick's Redfish Pool Bar! You have access to the pool at the hotel, a Pool Bar with killer Pina Coladas, a good size menu, and a beach view!
Dive Bars On The Island
Galveston is kinda known for its bars per capita. For such a small city we may be one of the largest bars per capita in Texas. Here is a list of the dive bars on the island. Best to bring cash to most of these places! A few of them don't except anything but the ole presidents themselves!
