Jack's Pub

Great local bar! Not a lot of young idiots like you find on the Seawall. Yea, yea, I know I was that age once and I acted a fool too. These days, I like the older, more mature crowds and you find that here. Our bartender both times was awesome and took such great care of us! We had a big group and and even though she had a full bar, she constantly came over to refill our drinks and make sure we were ok.
You can smoke inside, so your whole outfit will smell like cig smoke for a couple days. Just know that going into it so you are not surprised.
The food was awesome. It's bar food, but it's good! I have tried the pizza, mashed potatoes, and corndogs and all were yummy and came out quickly.
Drinks were strong and cheap. My boyfriend and I had a $50 tab for everything and we were there pretty much all night.

One of my favorite hidey holes on the island. Huge liquor selection mostly bottles on the beer front. Slightly overpriced for downtown 5$ calls ect. Bout $0.50-$1 above average; keeps out the idiots.  Recently added pub food, pizza, poppers, fries ect... Sampler basket great for drunk munchies. Served late like midnight or possibly even later.
There actually is a Jack and you can probably chat with him 5 nights a week, great owner been bar tending in Galveston for decades.
Video crack, 8 liners and free 8ft pool table.  Recently removed there silver strike and golden tee I miss them:(
If you like quiet, friendly, and a 30 to 40 something crowd jacks is for you.
