We went here for a nice dinner on the Harbor. Wait staff was very attentive, food was beyond our comprehension. It's been a very long time since I have enjoyed this quality of steak. They have a wonderful Happy Hour menu during the week.

What can I say? Our favorite place to go. You can easily walk from the home. Staff is awesome and food is so delicious. I finally tried the Coconut Shrimp and it was so delicious, perfect and complete with the amazing dipping sauce. There are 5 venues under one roof. Tiki Bar-Featuring 29° draft beer, a wide selection of Texas craft beers and refreshing beachfront cocktails, our Tiki Bar is the perfect place to unwind. Kick back with one of our signature tropical drinks, catch up with good friends over good food and enjoy the views. It’s Tiki time. Main restaurant-Our family-friendly beachfront restaurant features mouthwatering burgers, locally-sourced seafood and some of the best desserts on the island. Being a scratch kitchen means that nearly everything we make — from our hand-dipped onion rings to Gulf shrimp breaded to order — is house made fresh daily. Along with great food, our fast, friendly service will keep you coming back. The Squeeze-A tequila emporium like no other on the island, Squeeze Ritas & Tequilas is the place to get your margarita fix. We offer more than 50 specialty tequilas and almost as many specialty margaritas. How thirsty are you? With six margarita sizes ranging from 12 to 100 ounces, we’ve got you covered at Squeeze. Salt on the rim, extra lime, frozen or on the rocks? Yes, please! The Side Yard-Make SideYard your hangout for freshly muddled drinks and craft brews. The indoor/outdoor vibe and crowd-pleasing cocktails make SideYard feel like you’re going to a friend’s house party, only better. Sit back and enjoy our Pineapple Express or a refreshing Wild Whiskey Sour and you’ll understand. The Rum Shack-Discover rum paradise at our beachfront palapa bar. At RumShack, you’ll find more than 50 rum selections. From Mojitos and Piña Coladas to Hurricanes and Mai Tais, we’ve got the secret to tropical bliss.

Drinks & Nightlife

Most of these are places we have been to when we wanted to enjoy music or company in the evening.
Great food, right on Seawall, so you can look at the beach and Gulf while you eat and drink. Drinks, live music, wonderful staff-One block from home. It does get very busy.

This ferry is free! You can either drive on or park and walk on. Great ride and we saw lots of birds, but not too many dolphins. The Seagulls like to follow since the water gets churned up and they can easily eat the fish.
