    We stopped during the day. There is an outside sitting area with a few games. The inside did not give me the warm fuzzy feeling. It may be different if there were more people. The drinks were very tasty! We will give it another visit next time we are in town.

    While in Galveston with a few friends, we decided to stop by Texas Tail Distillery to have a few cocktails and enjoy the afternoon. I loved the fun mural and yard games in the back patio and the nice aesthetic on the inside as well. I ordered the moonshine margarita and was surprised at how great it tasted as moonshine can often just taste like you're drinking gasoline. I also tried my friend's bloody mary and another friend's espresso martini... everything was great. As the drinks are strong and they do hit you if you haven't eaten, I ordered the nachos to try. While they weren't what I was expecting, they were good and we all enjoyed them! The bartender who was working was phenomenal! Not only was she incredibly friendly and fun to talk to, but she was great at making suggestions and helping me to decide what to order. We had such a great time and enjoyed our drinks so we all ended up buying a few bottles to take home as well! Definitely worth a visit if in Galveston!

    Really cool hangout with delicious craft cocktails. I had the Blood Orange Sour and it was great. The servers were all very friendly and they have a nice outdoor space if you want to hang outside.

    We decided to travel to Galveston, TX, hoping to find a place to eat. Unfortunately, with a festival in town and parking nearly impossible, every restaurant we had in mind fell through. As we drove around, my wife spotted a distillery--one I hadn't noticed--that served food and had parking nearby. So we thought, "Why not?" When we arrived, my wife preferred sitting inside, but with the weather so beautiful, I suggested we sit outside. We were guided to our table, and just as we sat down, the bench under my wife cracked in half, causing her to fall. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt, though it certainly caught us off guard. The staff and some nearby guests quickly came over to check on her. Neither of us had ever experienced anything like that before! Being 6'7" and 285 lbs, I would've expected it to happen to me instead. We started our evening by sampling a few drinks. I tried the Coastline Whiskey, an 87-proof bourbon with notes of vanilla, spice, and honey--a smooth bourbon aged in American oak. I also tried a higher-proof bourbon, which was excellent. Both the whiskey and the cocktails were fantastic, and Michelle, our waitress, was outstanding and attentive throughout the evening. When I ordered another drink, Michelle asked if my wife wanted anything and then informed us that our meal and drinks were on the house as a gesture. I thanked her, saying it wasn't necessary, but we appreciated it. However, I did notice they left the broken bench in place. Personally, I would've removed it to prevent someone else from sitting there--but that's just me. We loved the food we ordered. The hamburger came with everything on it, including onions, which I usually hate, but it was so good I didn't mind. I might even be warming up to onions! The staff was incredibly kind and offered us a gift card, but since we're from Pennsylvania and unsure of when we'll be back, they generously gave me a bottle of bourbon to take home. I opted for the more affordable bottle, not wanting to take an expensive one, and it turned out to be excellent. I'd definitely return. Sometimes things just happen, but it doesn't mean they'll happen again. Cheers to reviewing my 70th distillery!

    I picked this place because I had my dog with me! It was delightful. I ordered a frozen drink tray and sat outside with my pup just enjoying the weather. The drinks were fun and the staff kept checking on me!

    We stopped in here a few times while in town, a cute atmosphere. They have an outdoor patio with games. Calley was our server she was great our drinks were yummy every single one of them.

    Cucumber, basil cocktail

    Absolutely love this restaurant every time we go! It's such a comfortable, relaxing place to enjoy with friends. The staff were attentive and paid attention to detail! I always love the deviled eggs but decided to try the chimichurri nachos. They are so yummy!!! Tried an amazing cucumber, basil cocktail that may just be my new favorite anywhere!

    Visited Galveston for the umpteenth time and stumbled upon this ABSOLUTE gem of a spot. Blows my mind how I never came across this establishment before but I am sure glad I did this time; and will be visiting whenever I am in town from now on. First and foremost the staff at Texas Tail are AWESOME. Top notch, cream of the crop. I say staff because every single individual that I had an interaction with that is part of that staff was great. Really enjoyed the tour and getting to know how their products are made and also what makes them unique. I was impressed with the quality of everything they're making here. The whiskey, the vodka, and the shine. We pretty much purchased one of each and will be seeking them out at our local liquor to keep a bottle on hand at home. The vibe of the place is lively on some days and livelier on others. (Visited on a Saturday & Sunday) Drink menu is full with a selection of amazing cocktails prepared with all their great spirits. Pricing is very reasonable and worth every bit. Even the food items they're pushing out are great. I'm torn on preparing this review because I almost want to keep this place a secret. But they deserve all the recognition and business that should come their way. Hats off to you Texas Tail. See you again soon

    Great/fun stop!! They make whiskey, vodka and moonshine on site. I'm tasting the 3 flight whisky shots and the girls each had a candy corn. All were great!! The food truck looked good as well, but we're saving that for our next trip.

    Salty sea dog, delicious!

    Stopped in to watch the Mardi Gras parade on Fat Tuesday. The place was packed and it appeared only 2 people working. They have a food truck that serves delicious NACHOS! Our drinks were fabulous as well, our service was great especially considering the amount of people there! They were really hustling! This spot has a great outdoor area as well great time had by all!!

    Never stop!

    The hubs and I visited on a recent Galveston day trip from Houston. We tried the spirits flight (5). The double barrel and honey flavored whiskey were our favorites. Keighton was a gracious host and talked us through the selection process. Loved our visit, and will return. P.S. Hopefully, we can get a distillery tour on our next visit. Cheers!

    Drinks were excellent!! The double barrel & single were phenomenal!!' The honey & red hot not so much:( The nachos were not worth $9 , maybe $4 if your lucky:( skip those They were tocos shelled halved with bits of chicken and shredded cheese w/ a pinch of pesto and sour cream on the side( refried beans too we took off) The key lime pie shot was delicious and should be a drink option!!! Staff was awesome!!! Lots of outside games and seating available. Drink specials only Sunday thru Thursday ****
