Best place to watch Astros in Galveston/general recommendations?
« on: July 28, 2017, 09:33:46 am »
Hey everyone,

I'm returning to the place where my ancestors got off the boat this weekend. Any recommendations on where to watch Astros games in Galveston? General restaurant/activity recommendations would be great too (kid-friendly a plus).

Thanks in advance, ya'll!

FWIW, I ended up going to Salsa's and Mosquito Cafe. Salsa's had an ocean view, strong margaritas, and the 'Stros on the big screen. Can't ask for much more. I highly recommend both places.

How was the food at Mosquito Cafe?  What would you recommend?

I'm not Gizz, but Mosquito Cafe is terrific.  Especially the breakfast/brunch.

This thread is more proof that I can buzz off for a while and some things never change.

How was the food at Salsa's? I haven't been there in a while, but the last time I was there, it was just okay.
