Or maybe since we checked in with a conference they figured we didn't need them. I spent some time pool adjacent my first morning in town but after that I was mostly in the bar area. The setup is very attractive and all of the servers I experienced were lovely. The bartenders were sort of hit or miss with a very frat-bro vibe so plan accordingly. The drinks are pricey but it's a hotel bar. If you drink beer those are a bit more affordable. I had a couple of their specialty cocktails and they were meh. But the comfy couches and the firepit were great for continuing the conversations with friends. So high points there. Plus you could order food if you wanted. Again I could see this area being a bit much during high season, but it was great for us.

Hung out here on Saturday and there's been much improvement in the service, hence the star upgrade…read more I think we had about three different cocktail waitresses serve us during our stay - which lasted well past sunset. They were all speedy and friendly, helpful when it came to selecting cocktails and food. Chocolate martinis are still delicious, as are the fruity frou-frou drinks - but not that strong. And each time I got bubbly or a mimosa, it was warm. I still drank it, but meh. Drinks are still more than you'd want to pay for a not-so-stiff drink, but what hotel bar isn't pricey? I spent probs more than $100 just on myself, so I rec just buying a bottle. You have to have a wristband to access the pool and get towel service; not sure how to get a band if you're not staying at the hotel. I guess you could always rent a cabana. Which are pretty pimp. Flat screen TV, couches, fresh fruit, bottled water and of course, poolside view and VIP service. Cabanas sell out fast, so book early (weeks ahead, not days) if you're gonna drop in on a weekend. The crowd here is an even mix of families, hotties and regular Joes, which I like. I did, however, notice a lot of hot moms with their kiddos. Great idea for those moms looking for a quick getaway that can entertain both adults and youngsters. Potties: Please use them. Don't go in the pool. As added persuasion, the restroom inside the main lobby has a tub of fragrant salt scrub that's complimentary. They also have foot showers, a mojito bar, wet bar, hot tub, kiddie slide with a grotto. There's a no-smoking rule here. I'm not a smoker, but I wanted to enjoy my Hight Cigar and feel all baller like. Ah well, I'll save it for another day.

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.

The solution: a delightful Sunday afternoon at Galveston Island Brewing! The beers: Dan had 2 Oktoberfest beers and 1 Dunkel. Azar had 1 dunkel,, a cherry forward beer - I don't remember its name, and a lager looking thing, again I can't recall its name. Don't worry, guys. I remember all of the food! I had a Texas Sun (Dan was icked out - beer with lime and prickly pear notes is an abomination to him. It was actually good, but you'll never hear him say it. I also had a chardonnay, Bonanza? Very nice. And then, to Dan's horror, I finished with an In a Pickle beer. So good! And I will say, it's odd to me that a man who is almost obsessively in love with all things pickled won't have anything to do with a sour pickle beer. It's okay, we'll celebrate our 41st anniversary in December and I admit there are a few things we don't feel the same way about, but we soldier on. Food: The pretzel with beer cheese and mustard made up for Saturday's disappointment. No, the beer cheese is not fancy pants or highbrow. There was no gruyere. But it was so very wonderful. Yes, Dan got me a spoon so none of it went to waste, waist possibly, but not waste. Chicken wings. Galveston Island Brewing is the Mecca for wings! Who knew? We had traditional buffalo wings, Siracha wings, and lemon pepper wings. The size of these - biggish, the flavors - bold, the rating - 10 out of 10. Ranch dressing came with the Siracha and lemon pepper and I have to confess that I generally don't do Ranch because it's ubiquitous and often not that great. But I still took it home. And I ended up eating every bit of it. Some with the doggy bag wings and the rest from my finger. Not at all classy, but very enjoyable. Atmosphere: kind of perfect. There were musicians sort of noodling around in the beer hall. It was like going over to a friend's house that has instruments, singers, and some songs you know and some you don't. Fun. Outside people were vibing in great weather, kids had free range of grass and the playground, and dogs were living their very best lives. My takeaway: Great drinks, delicious food, friendly staff are all here. Go!! You won't be sorry.

But that's a very good sign and even though we dispaired finding seating for three hungry people, the back room was opened up for the overflow crowd that I'm not sure they expected. While waiting, we had some excellent draft beer. If you find that you're craving something more exciting than the usual suspects, this is one of the great Galveston places to be. Sure there's Bud and Bud Light to be had, but DON'T. Give your taste BUDS a thrill and get a brew from their generous list of suds. It was a wait for the crawfish, but patience is a virtue that definitely paid off for us. This was Vudoo Viet-Cajun rather than traditional, and I think it was the perfect first choice for the season - with just enough spice, just enough citrus, and decently sized mud bugs, our three pounds practically put us in a swoon. Beerfoot serves crawfish at 2:00 on Sundays throughout the season, excluding Mother's day, and my advice is to get there around 1:00, find your table, get a beer, and prepare for some very good eats!
