Upstairs was completely full
Downstairs was way more of a dive feel and just hot as hell due to no AC and open walls.
Beer is cold and $3 each but came in a can? UGH! Hate can beer.
Was said to be a biker bar but more of the people stumbling out of the place while I was there looked more homeless than biker.. And I do mean STUMBLE.
These other reviews are spot-on.  Facing the Gulf is wonderful on any day when it's not raining, with a drink in your hand and loved ones by your side. The Poop Deck is a very small  old-school, no frills  bar, and the patrons and staff are wonderful people. Sure, you'll get a bad egg once in a while anywhere you go.  But I feel safe here, there are only people who want to have a drink and sit outside and visit.  Not a  meat market, not a pick up place, just  a run down belly-up to the bar kind of place.  It's mostly an older crowd, people that aren't looking for entertainment, but my college aged daughter definitely enjoyed herself too.
Review Source:As we were walking around Seawall on Sunday afternoon we decided to make the Poop Deck our last stop on the "Sunday Funday let's explore the neighborhood bar crawl." We walked in to the downstairs bar which wasn't really happening. We walked upstairs to find a lot of bikers on the deck upstairs and a little more going on. We ordered some drinks and tried to find a spot outside. A table opened up and we sat there and people watched for a good half hour. I am not impressed by motorcycles so when you sit there and constantly rev them up its more annoying to me than cool. Sorry, just how I feel. You get a lot of that here. Don't expect to have a nice quiet conversation at this bar, there's a lot going on.
They have a pool table and a jukebox upstairs. The pool table is missing some balls so it gave my boyfriend an advantage. It's a dive for sure, but awesome!
This place needs a dress code. No sleeves on your shirt, if you have one. Missing teeth. Maybe a black eye or busted lip. The crunching noise under your feet as you walk is the sound of your soles crushing the shells of shattered dreams. This is where you drink on the island if you want to channel Charles Bukowski on a budget. The bartenders aren't tanned. They are smoke cured. The last time I went here, there was a couple of drunken bikers being chased from the bar by an angry bottle wielding bar maid for fighting. Poop Deck incense would smell like beer vomit.
Basically, I love this bar. Reminds me of many of the "bad idea" bars that I have vague memories of frequenting in the French Quarter. This is a place where livers go to die.
Riding along the Seawall as a kiddie, the Poop Deck always gave me the giggles. Come adulthood and finally given the option to check it out, it's exactly what I imagined. Dirty - but in a good way, like a martini - filled with locals, drunken tourists, cold beer and a great view.
It has a run-down nautical look; a bar downstairs and upstairs, semi-clean ladies room, surly bartenders (I was afraid to ask for a lime), decent liquor selection (but overpriced), an ATM (it's cash only), and a rickety poop deck.
I wouldn't call this place kid-friendly, perse, but they didn't necessarily give the kiddo the boot. Keep in mind, there are loud mouths, a questionable staircase, and a few pics of topless chicks on the side of the bar upstairs. It's dog-friendly too, like most Galveston establishments. Biker-friendly. Cyclist-friendly.
Tagline on their sign? "Where the Elite meet in bare feet" ...Any Elite yelpers up for an outing at the Poop Deck?
extremely casual you will find all kinds of people here. bring cash but they do have an atm with a fee. very limited liquor choices. carpet stinks and lots of ciggerette smoke, but with all that said there is still some kind of charm to it. Great view of the beach and an m&m pack of people of all kinds.
Review Source:ahh the Poop Deck. Â Well, what can one say about the Poop Deck? Â It is very interesting. Â First off, make sure to bring cash as it is cash only. Â Beer served in cans. Â We were there for Christmas Eve and partied with locals. Â For the longest time we thought it was a gay bar, but it has a nice view, so we decided to go ahead and check it out back in August. Â It provided us some cheap entertainment for a few hours while we did a Seawall Crawl of local bars. Â I would surely visit the Poop Deck again some day, but it is definitely not a classy joint.
Review Source:Very casual, laid back atmosphere. Â Cash ONLY. Cheap strong drinks with an ocean view! Beer is served in a can here too haha! We went on a cold rainy night along our seawall bar crawl and had a great time! The locals were friendly, the bar staff were very nice and the captains hat was fun to take home as a souvenir! We always stop in for a few when we are on the island.
Review Source:This place is fabulous. After driving by this place a million times a group of us decided to try this place out on Labor Day weekend. As soon as we walked in I was in love. It's a classic dive bar with a nautical themed decor. Classic rock on the jukebox, cash only and canned beer. Regulars are bellied up at the bar and there is a spacious outdoor patio with a great view of the beach. This will now be a regular stop for me when I head to Galveston!
Review Source:When I lived in Galveston I came here a lot. I really liked this place because of the deck over looking the Gulf. All the people are really nice. They only take cash and legend has it that a Chuck Norris movie was shot here a long time ago. I found that out because they had a autographed picture and I asked about it. Then a few minutes later, the bartender pulled out a VHS and they had it on tape. She put it in and sure enough they were right. If I remember correctly Chuck through someone off the deck. It was cool. This place was really cool if you get there early when they have a parade. You not only get a birds eye view of the parade but also go have a nice back drop of the water. Even inside the place is full of nautical garb...it seems that every time I go there I see something new.

i take my heart and koozie to the Poop Deck every chance i can! Â there is just something simple and wonderful about sitting on the balcony of the Poop Deck overlooking the gulf's ocean waves and seawall parade with a cold beer in your hand listening to the fabulously stocked jukebox and visiting with locals, escaped houstonians as ourselves and lucky to find it tourists! Â the poop deck is a fully stocked, cash only bar with the best crew family who look out for each other. we visited this last weekend, while galveston is still very much in need of repair, my folks and i hoped to spread some cheer and smiles (i also brought fresh water, batteries, a spare flashlight, candle, etc. to anyone i saw that could use them). we met some front line warriors and survivors who were just happy to see friendly faces and relax for a moment. Â galveston needs our love and support ~ and respect while they recover.
Our love to marie and her mateys.
May the Poop Deck party flag ever wave! God Bless Galveston!
