🌴 A Grown-Up Island Adventure

Welcome to Galveston’s original adults-only drink-forward tour with bar, pub and local-style food flavors—where the stories are local, the drinks are on every stop, and the island breeze brings out your best vacation mood.

Perfect for Cruise Passengers! Start just 8-9 minutes walking from the Railroad Museum (18 minutes from the port downtown). Our final stop is a short few-minute walk back, so you can explore the historic Strand District, tasting your way through the hidden independently owned favorites where locals unwind.
Everything on Galveston Island is 5-15 minutes away by car – closer than you think!

Our main tour is a 3-hour evening experience that hits 7–9 unique venues, including:

  • Island bars and drink spots you won’t find in a brochure
  • Local craft beers, tropical cocktails, and exclusive “for-tour” creations
  • 4 food stops featuring pub bites, Gulf Coast favorites, and seasonal eats
  • Live music at up to 2 venues (sometimes more!) – day tours available without music
“By the end, you’ll be happily full, pleasantly relaxed, and officially on Island Time.”

🥃 What You’ll Experience

Sample Experience: You might enjoy local Galveston beer, Texas craft brews, tequila, rum, custom cocktails, or establishment signature specials – sometimes one, sometimes several at a single venue – it all depends on what’s available and what our guide discovers that evening.

Walk 1.6 miles at an easy pace through historic streets where every stop includes a drink (water if needed). Come as you are—this is a laid-back locals’ tour where the tour includes everything: food, drinks, and fun.
