Let me talk to you about Daiquiri Time Out. I've only been…read morethere once & it was one of those places that left me wishing I lived nearby. They're located in downtown Galveston in a part of town that was once a red light district. Their menu is "beach drinks". That's the vibe. You can get anything from a Negroni or Old Fashioned to a Highball, French 75 and everything in between. I live for that frozen strawberry daiquiri though. The cocktail menu is extensive! Did you know they have a speakeasy tiki bar too? Funky, beachy, tiki vibe decor. Great employees. It's The Pineapple Parlor and primo! See my review on it.

Love going to DTO when we visit the Island. Located of The Strand, more so in the Harborside area…read more(locals, LMK if I'm wrong!). It's one of the best craft cocktail destinations on the island - and with a tiki flare. It's great to see it open after almost a decade. (We went there in 2016 when it first opened for a Yelp meetup; got to meet the owner, try some cocktails, and everyone had a great time.) Happy hour is Mon all day and Tue-Fri 4-7pm with $6 cocktails. Such a deal. They now have a "speakeasy" called the Pineapple Parlor. Barkeep told us there'd be a $6 admission per person; and since the space is small, there's limited seating. We opted to stay inside the DTO area for old fashioneds and Southside ($8 gin, lemon, mint).

My friends and I were in Galveston for a girls weekend, and the friend hosting us at her beach…read morehouse came across a TikTok about Pineapple Parlor. We knew we HAD to go. The entrance is so fun and charming. I love how 50s hula music is playing while you enter the bar. The hula girl wallpaper in the bathroom also plays well into the theme. One of my friends was six months pregnant at the time and found the mocktail selection to be really good. We were quite full from dinner but didn't mind the snack offerings. I explained I'm gluten intolerant, and the bartender went through the snack pairings I could have. My drink (Speaky Tiki Old Fashioned) came with the rice, and it was so, so good. We actually plan on coming back this weekend, and I'm salivating at the thought of the crispy rice. Don't skip out on this place! It's one of the best speakeasies I've been to.

Well, well, well, Pineapple Parlor, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?…read morePineapple Parlor is a tiki speakeasy lounge offshoot off Daiquiri Time Out in historic downtown Galveston (former Red Light District, in fact). I mean what better place for a tiki bar than a beach town? The drinks menu is as extensive as DTO. They've got the tiki standards, Zombie and Painkiller as well as a slew of others. The Kumquat Tot is hands down my favorite. Kumquat, gin, mint, and a few other choice ingredients make this one of the most unique and refreshing cocktails I've ever had. Drinks are served in classic tiki glassware. I dig the vibe here real hard. It's rad. Decor is thatched walls, huts, voodoo, fire, and skulls. Mood lighting enhances the overall theme. The bartenders and servers are super cool. Visiting once just wasn't enough. In the words of The Terminator, "I'll Be Back".

The place had a lively, cozy vibe that fit the day perfectly. I ordered a unique craft beer from Charleston, SC, which was such a cool find on tap in Galveston. My family tried the boozy hot chocolate, wine, and a couple of drinks from their solid coffee selection. The staff was friendly and kept things moving smoothly even with the festival crowd. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5--is the limited snack options. It would've been nice to pair the drinks with a few more bites, especially during such a busy event. Overall, though, Proletariat is definitely worth a stop if you're exploring the Strand. Great drinks, great vibe, and a perfect little retreat during Dickens on the Strand.

The Tremonté Rooftop absolutely delivers on one thing -- the view is spectacular. You can't beat…read morethe atmosphere up there, and our server, Ravin, was very nice, soft-spoken, and seemed new but eager to please. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered two craft strawberry mint lemonades ($16 each), but despite the bar being lined with sliced garnishes, neither drink contained mint or any garnish at all. It felt more like a shortcut than a craft cocktail. When we arrived, the TV was playing the news -- which we didn't mind -- but a manager came over and literally shut it off mid-segment, which was awkward. We also tried to pay with cash, but the bar wasn't set up to handle it. After waiting quite a while for them to figure out change, we finally gave up and used a credit card. Overall, the Tremonté Rooftop has potential, but the service, execution, and atmosphere just didn't match the price point. We won't be rushing back.

They also have an outdoor patio where you can sit when the weather permits. They're known for their cocktails which are $6 between 5 & 8. The wine pairs nicely with the shareable charcuterie board, definitely worth it. And of you drink beer they have that too. They sell soups and salads, sandwiches, and breakfast that they serve from 9-3. We ordered the breakfast bowl and breakfast plate. They were both pretty good. The touch of microgreens on top of my bowl was a pleasant surprise. I love microgreens and they were fresh. The server was very helpful and recommended the iced coconut vanilla latte that I loved so much I ordered another one to go.

She bought me and my friends a lemon drop shot...soo tasty! We didn't order anything else to drink because we had already had enough and were tired...soo, we sipped on those shots and ate. A transient came in asking for food...Addy pointed him to the free pizza table. He took, he left. I I like the vibe here too...definitely a place a female can hang out at alone.
