    Sunday Jam!  Standing Room only.   A lot of musicians just come out to see old friends and make new ones!
    Suzanne T.

    I have been coming here for 15 + yrs now! So happy the pandemic didn't kill this place like it did a lot of other local mom and pops. Because of the pandemic Katie's is no longer open 7 days a week but is slowly increasing the days of operation. You can go to Katie's Bar and Grill in Bacliff (on Grand Ave) for their calendar! You will never be disappointed coming here, the staff is welcoming, drinks are good, beer is ice cold, bar food is not bad (it's bar food y'all), the prices are excellent, the live music is always amazing with open mic jams on Sundays. A decent dance floor that stays packed. TVs showing your games! And a big out door patio for the smokers! You can reserve a table, booth or place at the bar. If you show up and the place is full, the staff will help you find a spot to sit....if any are left. They make all there patrons feel welcome and special. This past year, new owners took over Katie's! Greatest people you will have the pleasure to meet. Plus they are shaking things up! Bringing in all kinds of different bands/music. No longer just a blues bar. Special parking for motorcycles and extra parking in the back with access thru the patio area The place maybe small, but what's inside is definitely worth a visit. Especially if you are a fan of live music!

    Dance on!!

    Ringing in the new year here was SPECTACULAR! I had so much fun listening to the band, dancing and dining on the many dishes brought in to keep the crowd nourished. I wouldn't change a thing about Katie's...the mature crowd, live music and affordable drink options make the drive to Bacliff well worth it!

    Live music with some of the best blues players around sets Katie's apart from other bars in the area.

    Lots of people from all walks of life. Music dancing. Met a new friend. I'm 54. So a bit of an older crowd. Excellent drinks and value.

    Gilhooley's is a great place for oysters and shrimp, fixed about anyway you find. The Oysters…read moreGilhooley are a nice local touch to an New Orleans dish, chargrilled oysters!! To. You can add a shrimp on top and turn it into a "Shrimphooley". Everything they serve is outstanding, but I focus on anything "oyster"! If you're a chicken liver or gizzard person, they have the absolute best I've ever eaten. When you arrive you might scratch your head and wonder, "should I really go into this place?", but don't hesitate. If you think it's a bit crude and unrefined now, you should have seen it 18-20 years ago. Back then they didn't have a table with 4 chairs that matched; you'd see people sitting at the bar early in the day having their beer and cigarette, looking like the missed their weekly Saturday bath. Sitting outside was the best spot when the weather was good and the outdoor bar was very convenient. Years ago there was neighborhood guy (I can't remember his name now) who would go around table to table with his home made salsa haveing you tasted it and then selling you a jar with some chips to accompany your fantastic meal. Once of the best policy which they've kept for years is, "

    It looks like a biker bar from the outside, but weekday afternoons are mellow and easygoing. It's…read moresuper casual, laid back, and has that unmistakable locals‑only energy -- even when it's quiet, you'll still hear customers and staff calling to each other across the bar. The outdoor seating area is a great spot to unwind, and the roaming cats add their own brand of entertainment. Food ranges from great to "maybe next time." Hushpuppies are a skip. The spinach artichoke crab dip is solid, and the raw oysters taste good but are sometimes overly salty. The shrimp gumbo is some of the best I've had, though it occasionally suffers from the same heavy hand with salt. Still, I always get a bowl to go. For entrées, the fried catfish is the favorite, but it's not always consistent; sometimes it comes out overcooked, sometimes they get it right. The grilled platter is a dependable alternative. And whatever you do, trade the fries for onion rings -- they're the sure thing on the plate. Even with the occasional overcooked catfish and oversalted dishes, we keep coming back. The vibe, the gumbo, and the character of the place make it worth the trip.
