Small Garden Salad.
Paula W.

Really neat find. Cozy and comfortable. It's a mix between a brewery, bar and restaurant. On tap they have several of their own brews plus some from Galveston and beyond. I ended up having a Guinness. The food menu is full of great options, some basic and some gourmet. My Tea Time Grilled Cheese had blackberries, spinach and grilled mushrooms added. Instead of fries I chose a garden salad. It was fantastic!! Even included a boiled egg. Will definitely try again when next in town. I'll be back for the food and beer!! Don't pass this place up!!

Absolutely blown away by this place. From the decor and the house made items on the menu as well as the hospitality, was all fantastic. Everything felt so intentional and well crafted. Would highly recommend. This will definitely be a new must for us at Galveston!

Great experience at Coastal Star Brewing! We're always looking for new restaurants in the area and decided to try Coastal as part of Galveston restaurant week. Fun and funky decor. The first thing that caught my eye was the inviting bar area and 'adults only' lounge area. A great place to hang out and enjoy a drink. The menu is expansive with many delicious options. We loved the chili, German chocolate, and red velvet cake. Will definitely come back to try some of the other menu items. A lovely experience overall. Cheers to Coastal Star Brewing!

Beer menu

This bar\restaurant is located along the strand and used to be known as the Hub Cap Grill until it recently changed its name to this. Ironically, there's still a large display of hubcaps on the sidewall. It is also a brew pub, however, on our visit, they had none of their beers on tap. You can order your grub and beer at the bar where you'll find the only beer menu on the wall since there's not one printed yet. After paying with a credit card you'll face the tip screen, be handed a number and head back to your table. One point of interest is that they fry everything in beef tallow. I got the shrimp basket and my wife had the chicken fried fish and chips. For the money, it seemed the portion of fish was pretty small. Normally, one would expect a small helping of coleslaw like most restaurants, but here you just get fries. I appreciated the six fairly large shrimp, but when I peeled away some of the thick batter, I realized they were not deveined which is why you see three stars, not four. I could taste the grittyness which led me to peal away the batter to check. If I were to come here again, I'd probably stick to the burger menu since those looked good as they were coming out. 10 photos included. 31/2*

Food, service are excellent! Food is made fresh and it so delicious! Catfish and nachos were also excellent!

This is my new favorite spot in Galveston. The menu selections are wide and unique. The food quality is so much better than regular bar food. (Which is what I've come to expect at a brewery.) We met the owners and they really care about quality and customers having a good experience. Thank you for a delicious lunch. We will be back!

Ended up getting a burger at "Coastal Star Brewing". The burger was amazing, the French fries was cooked in beef tallow, onion rings (top notch). Took a shot of absinthe and was prepared nice and professional. Overall an amazing place. Thanks Cameron Longley.

I needed a good cold stiff one in an, out of the way place with low light and freezing air…read moreconditioning. I was on a mission to escape the hot humid tropicalesqe afternoon that is a Galveston Texas August day. Daiquiri Time Out popped up while spinning the Roulette Wheel that is Yelp. So,with door code in hand I headed out. Taking note of another Yelpers recommendation to arrive early as the place is small and fills up,we did. On the far edge of downtown in a non descript building this bar, billed as a speakeasy, sat. The sidewalk was melting under my feet as I walked towards the door. No entry code needed. After my eyes adjusted,what I saw wasn't what I expected. Dirty Dancing+Saturday Night Fever+Ms Kitty's Gun Smoke saloon had a strange feel. Ok, let's go. We, as the first guest of the soon to be 5'oclock crowd approached the bartender, alone behind a just right mixing station. After perusing a menu of specialties and being guided through a few questions,we ordered. The good- I found an interesting little place to beat the summer heat and enjoy a decent drink. Not so good- not as billed. Overall no quirkiness or unique qualities to write home about. No snackes served with each drink as described by others. Once the place started filling up and I started my second adult beverage,things were looking up. Go,but with lowered expectations.

Atmosphere | 4.5/5…read more Hearsay on the Strand has a beautiful interior and a great overall ambiance. The decor and lighting is elegant, relaxing and warm. However, the music was a miss for me. It didn't match the setting at all and felt disconnected from the atmosphere of the restaurant. The music selection could definitely use some improvement. (Maybe jazz, or something by definetly not pop) Service | 5/5 Our waiter, Caleb, was AMAZING! He was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Service is the No.1 most important thing in my opinion and Caleb knocked it out the park. Food | 4/5 I ordered the braised short rib, and the meat was incredibly TENDER! While I enjoyed the texture, I do think it could have used a little more flavor. A good marinade or deeper seasoning before cooking would really help bring out the richness of the meat. Now, the grits served underneath were extremely disappointing. They were water flavored and cold. Good grits need heavy cream or half-and-half, butter, and seasoning. For a dish like this, adding cheese would help. The pairing felt like an afterthought, almost as though they were trying to find a way to use up extra grits. My recommendation: Substitute the grits for mashed potatoes and request butter on the side. I think mashed potatoes would pair much better with the short rib. I got an off menu cozy apple turn over. It would have been good but it was cold. I definitely recommend it if we ensure it's hot when it comes. They switched it out for the Crème Brûlée for me and that was good! It had such a great crunch on the top layer. Overall Experience | 4/5

In addition to the food order being incorrect and slow, it wasn't good. The gumbo was a soup base with very little vegetable. It has chopped up pieces of white meat chicken mixed in and 2 decent shrimp thrown on top. The rice was undercooked - it was crunchy. The wedge salad had one cherry tomato split in half. The blue cheese dressing dressing was essentially mayonnaise with squares of not great blue cheese. Anyway - the island has so many great restaurants. Go somewhere with good food.
