    Great neighborhood dive bar! Happy hour 7 days a week from 12-8. Colorful regulars and staff. Shafay is our favorite bartender here but they all rock. This place is not too far from the harbor so they are tourist friendly.

    Thanks for a great night out!  You made all of these ladies very happy and we will be back!!!

    A group of ladies (and sometimes the men in our lives) like to get together and do some fun stuff, and hitting up a "dive bar" and having a fun night out was on the list.....so, we tried The Albatross. Most of us live off the island, and we happened to pick a evening where it had rained and flooded all over the Bay Area, but it cleared up by the time we headed over there. There were around twenty of us total. We started getting there just before 8pm, and I think the last of our group left right around midnight. The bartender Michelle was super nice and she suggested some drinks for us to try, and even made some specials for some of our non-drinkers/designated drivers. We spent some time on the outdoor patio, and they turned on the music out there for us, and because it was our first time there, she even gave us a few dollars "on her" to pick some songs off the juke box and to set the tone to our liking. A few other patrons/locals/regulars were very kind to us....opening doors, pulling out chairs, and even helping the bartender carry drinks. One nice lady even came over and offered to grab one of our camera and take some pics for us. There was a pool table that was pretty popular all night long, but we focused on getting a fun game of the Head Up Ap going, which they had WiFi accesses opened up for us to use. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel like we were welcome, and the service was just so great. I am sure we will make it a regular spot for our group to meet up and have a nice night out. (One thing that was a bit of a surprise.....if you can't handle smoking, it might be tough for you to be in there. We started on the patio, but ended up inside later that evening, and the smoke smell was a little rough at first, but we all got use to it.)

Pizza was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced compared to others in town. You get to pick your toppings from many selections. We've had their pizza often since we discovered them 5 years ago. 8/10/2025 Tonight we split the fried catfish dinner. Nice thin cornmeal batter, 4 pieces plus tots (substituted for fries), hush puppies and coleslaw. Plenty to split! Very light!!! Ok other than the tots. Love Jacks for their food! ! It's a smoky dive bar but the food is fantastic! We don't go in and hang, both of us being former smokers, but we love their food! I hear their green chicken enchiladas are amazing! Will report back. One note, prices are a little higher than the menus online, maybe by $5. Still very reasonable!!!

    This is a comedic bar. It's not a place that I would recommend going to unless you're hungry and…read moreit's past 10:30 p.m. in Galveston, Texas. Otherwise, I'd stay the hell away from here. If you want to see an empty pool table, maybe play around. That's a reason to go. If you want some decent late-night food, it's not a chain. It's your only option. That's a reason to go. Again, outside of that, I highly recommend finding something better. But it is Texas, and there's jack shit for food. But this place is one of the few places left that still lets you smoke inside. So you know, different strokes for different folks.

They let us taste different versions of Jameson's because we were trying to stick with the Irish theme We met some nice people too.

    I'm adding 5 stars bc mollys is cool and you can smoke inside…read more I'm from the island and like pubs and Shit so I decided to start going there again after the peak of the pandemic. I was with a friend and we were talking mad shit about someone (we are both geminis ) sorry we like to gossip when we get a little buzzed. We are bad. Oh well. ....Anyways we were talking shit about someone for something ridiculous and fucked up they did to me and the bartender went and told that person I guess they knew them (small island LOLOLOLOLOL) Them telling this person made them start harassing me and making threats and literally calling my phone all night long. It was a nightmare. All bc this bartender didn't like the 80$ tip we left on a 65$ tab of shitty drinks. He was cool or so we thought! You are a traitor man !!!! We thought you were our buddy and we had some really good conversation and laughs ! :( :( I haven't been back since. I'm sure they don't give a shit about this review i wouldn't either. I just find it funny that I spent like 200$ on alcohol within a couple days there for them to make me the target of a stalker lol
