December 2, 2025 Was in the area and stopped in for my to-go dinner. Got a grilled cheese and 2 chili cheese (w/onions) hotdogs; both with tater tots--- both YUMMY I didn't ask what their health score was nor did I look before devouring the food but, let's hope it's better than last time (see photo) read more

One of the best bar grilled cheeses EVER. Plus the bartender here is outstanding. Drinks are well priced for a more touristy area and the bar itself is so welcoming, especially for newcomers. My husband and I spent several hours here chatting with the locals and we could've stayed even longer but had to catch a flight out of Houston. Definitely will be back for another bite and a round next time we're in Galveston! read more

Press Box - Be sure to put a dollar bill somewhere! - Sports Bars Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I love this bar and the bar food, the grand slam salad with homemade ranch dressing is AMAZING! Dawn is the best.

The wait staff said they close from 245 pm until 5 pm if you want a hamburger you can't get it

Everyone sure wasn't kiddin' when they said Press Box has one of the best Reubens around! I got it to go on my way home, and I know the food is outstanding when I put it on a plate but don't make it out of my kitchen without taking a few bites standing up at the counter. Every single part was cooked to perfection... and the tots were amazing as well! Crispy and flavourful. I don't have many Reubens left to try on the island but I see this one staying in the top 3, if not holding the #1 spot! Inside, it's very cozy pub-esque and I would have no qualms going back and dining in instead of taking out. The employees were very welcoming and genuinely sweet. A hidden island gem for sure. read more

5/4/25 split the Turkey melt and tots. Superb!!! Danielle was pleasant and efficient as always. We love this local place!

All good, staff friendly, food good, great little dive bar!! . Don't tell anyone! Local guy here

Wife and I came in again today. IF DAWN THE LUNCH WAITRESS WOULD SHUT HER KNOW IT ALL SELF ABSORBED PIE HOLE FOR 10 SECONDS TO TAKE CARE OF HER WAITING CUSTOMERS WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. She creeps on all the the younger worker men that come in for lunch. Same stuff every time, I've worked for 20 years before that I worked at....who gives a sh--. Forgets what you ordered. Food is usually good and luke warm when you finally get it. read more

Went to Press Box to take a break from a conference and to watch some NCAA basketball recently. Met some folks there. Bartender was very hospitable and she put the game we requested on the TVs. Music was at a decent level... not too loud. Place had about a dozen locals in it. A few tourists drifted in and out. We enjoyed our time there. Nice local neighborhood bar. We did not try any food read more

$1 signed wall boards, small bar 3 drafts, two people working on this slow afternoon. Food is good, frozen burger Patty was not well cooked, but atmosphere relaxing, good prices. Maybe a GM hangout read more

​Rudy B what on Earth has happened to your Reuben sandwiches ? So disappointed !! The last one I got had two paper thin slices of meat! This was our regular order we loved your nice big Reuben sandwiches . When I sent it back the girl said the cook said that they weigh the meat . If that's the case those two paper thin slices of meat would have barely registered a food scale . Would have written this off as just a one-off but this is the second trip there that they've handed me a sandwich like that ​ I sent it back and left I am so disappointed that we can't come in and get a good sandwich any longer .​ Sat. 12- 6-25. 4:15 pm read more

i always have to go to the press box & get a hotdog whenever i come to the island...not only are they HUGE but the chili is delicious as well...don't miss out on this gem read more

Well to start, we were a little disappointed eating here. Its a cute little bar setting but the food was not very good. There were 4 of us and we each had ribeyes all Med Rare and baked potatoes which only 1 was cooked correctly, tough, didnt have much flavor, and we had to keep asking for stuff like 1 of us didn't get the potato, and 2 of us only got butter when they were all supposed to be loaded. It was a VERY easy order to do bc they were all 4 the exact same. My 2 friends ordered margaritas which the waitress put in (mind u there was only 3 other ppl in there at the same time as us) after asking the waitress 3 times for their margaritas I finally went to the bar myself and asked the bartender myself and she said "I didnt get a margarita order" I said we ordered 2 margaritas 20 mins ago... she asked the waitress and the waitress said she put the margaritas in and when the bartender looked at the ticket printer, it was still sitting there...... no apologies no nothing! They could hardly drink them bc they were so nasty. We really had high hopes as we had been told this place was GREAT for a local hole in the wall and we were VERY disappointed unfortunately! read more

Friends and I went here for a quick drink on a Friday night and when we walked in the place went silent. The bartender would not look at us. We sat for about 10-15 minutes trying to order and we didn't even get a look or a hello. The entire staff ignored us until we left. Would not recommend if you are not a "regular" read more

Had the chilli cheeseburger for dinner. It was good it came with a large amount of tots. Bartender was excellent as well. This is definitely a local spot which is what I like. I would revisit in the future. Vibe was laidback. read more

This place is so cute Great sports bar Good jukebox Little patio out back Super friendly service Tasty Bar food The best basic bar I've encountered on Galveston island (I hope that's not an insult) Would definitely come back in the future read more

Press Box - Seat at the bar. - Sports Bars Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Press Box is a locals-only kind of divey sports bar. The patrons are an eclectic mix of all kinds of folks, and everyone knows everyone. They've got lots of teles, a juke box and a food menu that ROCKS. I got chicken fried chicken with a side baker (there goes the diet) and the beau downed a chili burger with the best tots evar. Deep fried, crispy, pipin' hot - I wanted to snatch his plate. They have a few brews on draft, but not a big assortment of craft brews. There's also a patio and you can actually enjoy it on the cooler nights because there's a big outdoor fireplace. read more

Very unassuming, very cool place. Not a fan of carpet on the floor but staff is ALWAYS friendly and attentive. Kinda feels like Cheers where they all "know your name" kinda vibe. The food is good, I usually get chicken fried chicken and it's very fair, burgers good too for a bar, best tator-tots ever, and I'm not a tot fan. One of my go-to spots b/c it's just...kinda cool. read more

Food was great and Joey our bartender was fantastic!! For a neighborhood spot, they have a nice selection of appetizers and main courses as well as a full drink bar. We will be back!! read more

It was a rainy day and we just wanted a fun place to have a drink after lunch. The woman behind the bar immediately told us the kitchen was closing soon. We said we just wanted a drink. The woman banged on the bar like she was in a hurry. When we told her we were just there for drink and she continued to be extremely rude. We left immediately for the rudeness. We were just looking for a fun local place to go. You should just say "locals only" on the front. We are from Pasadena and Seabrook and thought we would be welcome. read more

The place seemed dirty and understaffed probably due to Covid. The bartender did not wear a mask the entire time we were there. Burger was frozen Pre made party. Nothing special to write home about. read more

Look for the iconic neon sign! We were visiting the area on Christmas Eve night and we enjoyed downing beers and shots with the regulars. Super fun bartender and bar crowd in general. We were super grateful their kitchen was open-not much was open over the holidays. Food was outstanding. I had the chili (no beans!) and a good salad, my date had a coney-which was huge and super tasty, dog was good quality, maybe Nathan's? Prices were also super cheap. It was a great place to spend Christmas Ever and it was one of the highlights of our holidays this year! read more

The waitress and bartender were so friendly! However, the food was just ok. The club sandwich had tasty looking ingredients, but the bread needed mayo and mustard to pull it all together- it was just too dry. The turkey melt was underwhelming also. The corn dogs were pretty good though! read more

I really want to give this place a 5 & really it does deserve 5... setup, service & food quality. However, as a vegetarian/vegan, they don't have hardly anything for me. :( read more

Local neighborhood joint. Wife and I have been eating there for years. One of few places to get corned beef on St Patty's(the Ruben). WTF Galveston? Went last night with the Missus for Prime Rib night( Monday and Tuesday). Prime rib was incredibly fatty, rubbery like they heated it up in the microwave and forgot it. Dry, tough, no flavor. Must I go to the Sal* **ass on Seawall and pay Dallas prices for a good piece of beef? Come on you guys used to do a very decent job on prime rib and last night was really bad. Told waitress and she apologized. Not good enough. Might be back but right now I don't think so. read more
