    I had been highly anticipating the reopening of the rooftop bar for several years, but was underwhelmed. You'll need to make a reservation to sit pretty much anywhere but the bar, as the outside tables get booked. Still a nice vibe and view, although overpriced. I do not mind paying a premium for the ambiance, but the charcuterie board was pretty disappointing at $30. Drinks, however, were decent.

    We have always loved the Rooftop Bar, now it's incredible. We made reservations before attending a play across the street. Service was great, as were our old fashioned and espresso martini. We ordered lightly and had the baked goat cheese and the tuna tartar both delicious. I forgot to take pics of the food!

    Nice for a view and a drink. Better at night Id think as there isn't any cover to block the sun. Shrimp cocktail was big and fresh and ole. Fashion drink was good.

    Good spot for a drink and a small bite. Sometimes it's easier to go with a big group than with just two people. Great views of the island and good drinks. The small bites are tasty and have some descent options. Will definitely be back

    I love the newly renovated Rooftop Bar. It's beautiful and cozy. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. I had the Tremont Hotel Old Fashioned along with a delicious (large) pretzel with cheese and a crab cake. The indoor seating had comfortable lounge style spaces and seating at the bar. The outside area wrapped along the sides and had fire pits to keep you warm. The views were excellent and overlooked the Mardi Gras parades. The service was friendly and attentive.

    The staff was very nice! It probably is the best view you can get of the big cruise ships that come through town. They are massive. The food measured up to the view which doesn't always happen. The ceviche was cold and fresh and the pork rinds were crispy. The cheese could have been hotter but I'm not sure if they weren't trying mimic the gas station room temp cheese style. It's really pricey is all but you are paying for the atmosphere.

    Worth the wait for The Rooftop Bar to reopen. They did an amazing job with the place. It's so comfortable and quite the view. We went the first week it was open so they were open, but you wouldn't have known it. They were organized and so friendly. We tried almost everything on the menu. My favorites were the Wagyu Beef Sliders, The Pork Belly Bau Bau, and the pretzel. I'm a local, so I'll be back. Excited to have a new place to hang out.

    Old fashion

    Great service and delicious cocktails! I had an espresso martini and my husband had the old fashion....both were super delicious! Didn't eat, just had drinks. Highly recommend!

    Lovely pit stop, rooftop is all enclosed and full air conditioned. Had great craft cocktails and wonderful service. Menu is not expansive but plenty to choose from. Key point is AC works!

    Warm Bavarian pretzel. Yum!

    My friends and I were in Galveston for a girls weekend, and the friend hosting us at her beach…read morehouse came across a TikTok about Pineapple Parlor. We knew we HAD to go. The entrance is so fun and charming. I love how 50s hula music is playing while you enter the bar. The hula girl wallpaper in the bathroom also plays well into the theme. One of my friends was six months pregnant at the time and found the mocktail selection to be really good. We were quite full from dinner but didn't mind the snack offerings. I explained I'm gluten intolerant, and the bartender went through the snack pairings I could have. My drink (Speaky Tiki Old Fashioned) came with the rice, and it was so, so good. We actually plan on coming back this weekend, and I'm salivating at the thought of the crispy rice. Don't skip out on this place! It's one of the best speakeasies I've been to.

    Well, well, well, Pineapple Parlor, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?…read morePineapple Parlor is a tiki speakeasy lounge offshoot off Daiquiri Time Out in historic downtown Galveston (former Red Light District, in fact). I mean what better place for a tiki bar than a beach town? The drinks menu is as extensive as DTO. They've got the tiki standards, Zombie and Painkiller as well as a slew of others. The Kumquat Tot is hands down my favorite. Kumquat, gin, mint, and a few other choice ingredients make this one of the most unique and refreshing cocktails I've ever had. Drinks are served in classic tiki glassware. I dig the vibe here real hard. It's rad. Decor is thatched walls, huts, voodoo, fire, and skulls. Mood lighting enhances the overall theme. The bartenders and servers are super cool. Visiting once just wasn't enough. In the words of The Terminator, "I'll Be Back".

    Great experience, helped with my tension headaches for sure , Evryone was great. I recommend this…read moreplace .

    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.
