OMG!! They have the most delicious food! We stopped on a whim and I’m so glad we did. Hubby got fresh bourbon that was extremely smooth. The fries are TO-DIE-FOR!! Definitely want to stop at this place! We will go again next visit to Galveston and plan to try more spirits!

Delicious! Started with the Brisket Deviled Eggs, which were amazing, then had pulled pork tacos and brisket grilled cheese...all of it hit the spot! The cocktails were super good too. Would definitely recommend and eat here again.

I went on a Monday just for a flight while the wife was shopping. All good but I didnt care for the Black Cherry Shine. I would visit again.

I ordered a double pattie burger.....It was so so bland. Eatable, but bland. Nice size, but will make you think people go there to get drunk. After that get hungry and say it's good 🥱

Maybe because we were not white.......We attended the Galveston Flamingo Festival and stopped at Texas Tail Distillery for drinks. We initially ordered two bundle specials that included flamingo floaties for $45, after waiting about 15 minutes, staff told us they only had one bundle left, so we changed the order to one bundle and one regular drink. We were told the total would be about $35. After another long wait with no drinks while other customers were being served at the bar, my card was charged $45 instead of $35, When we asked about the charge, the waitress seemed unsure and got the manager. The manager apologized and refunded $45 cash because they couldn’t locate the transaction in the system. Later that night, another $35 charge appeared on my card even though the drinks had supposedly been refunded. On top of that, the drinks were watery and not good quality. Overall, it was a very disappointing and confusing experience, and I’ll be disputing the charge with my bank.

We hosted our wedding welcome party at Texas Tail and it was absolutely fantastic. From the beginning, they were so easy to work with—responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in making our event special. Planning felt effortless thanks to their clear communication and helpful attitude. When we arrived, everything had already been set up beautifully. It made such a difference to be able to walk in and simply enjoy the evening without worrying about any details. The service was outstanding and the drinks were excellent! Our guests had a great time, and we heard so many compliments about the atmosphere and overall experience. We’re so grateful for how smoothly everything went and would absolutely recommend Texas Tail again and again.

Such a cool spot. Food was amazing and the cocktails were top notch. The Post Office Paloma was delicious as was the Smokey Double Barrel Old Fashioned. James was super friendly and very knowledgeable. If you’re lucky you’ll meet the true Lainey Wilson. .

Extremely family friendly with plenty, outdoor seatings, dog park, and games. Whiskey is top notch, we ordered old fashion, smoked, and double barrel. They are very generous with food items. We ordered ALL happy hour food items and some regular appetizers. Food was so good we divulged in right away! The cocktails are very affordable, we ordered spicy cowboy lemonade and one holiday special pumpkin cream whiskey. Will come back to try their flights!

Went on a cruise and stopped by after we got off the boat on this past Saturday. Food was great and drinks even better! Was really impressed by the staff and how smoothly they all operated and for being really busy they were very caring and attentive. And to top it off one of the waitresses had a baby on her back! Very cool to visit a place that really takes care of their employees. What a truly family friendly establishment! If we ever come back to Galveston, we would definitely bring our children! Overall a wonderful bar and grill!

We got a wedding present that included a tour here. We are from Oregon, so planned it into a trip. Our family said it was a must do while in Galveston. It did not disappoint. Food and drinks were amazing. Lots of thought behind the mixed drinks. Outside games for kids to play. A plus that it was family friendly. The tour was great. Co-owner was very open about their process, and was overall welcoming. If we are ever in Galveston, we will be back!

Fellow Whiskey Guys, Bring your girls here for a cocktail! Mi e had a Blackberry Sour and loved it. I had a "Q" and a neat pour of double cask bourbon. The bourbon was 3.1 years old, but very good and a healthy pour. At 6 years, it will be a hitter! Great food and service was excellent! Good starter place for a night out with your Girl!

This is a must-visit in Galveston! They have a fantastic happy hour with drinks and food. We tried the Bloody Mary, which had the perfect spice and amazing garnish, and the Old Fashioned was delicious. The pork deviled eggs and pork nachos were exceptional—I don't even like deviled eggs, but these were amazing. A must-stop when in Galveston!

We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon. There were a few customers there who were friendly and relaxed. Greg gave us the tour. He answered our questions and took time to discuss how vodka distilling and competition differ from bourbon. It is so interesting talking to people who have taken the leap to pursue a dream. Nick talked to us at the table and signed our bottle of the wheated bourbon, which I recommend trying. It was a pleasant experience. We'll definitely be visiting again, next time we are in town.

Had a great time here twice in one weekend! The selection of spirits is very good. Cocktails and frozen drinks excellent. The staff were engaging, entertaining and very helpful. Atmosphere inside is inviting and air-conditioned! The outside area is spacious and comfy. I highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.

Fun place with lots of cool lighting and natural light through the windows. I did not visit in the evening, so not sure about the "overly bright" comments in some of the other reviews. But in the daytime, this place was awesome. Visited twice. First visit we sat inside and tried a couple of the flight samplers. I didn't know I liked, moonshine, but guess I do as the flavored moonshine may have been my favorite! The eats provided via the food truck out back were solid as well. I had a brisket pita dish (forget what it was called), but it was delicious. Our host, I believe her name was Mallory, was great. It was pretty quiet the day we came in, so we had a chance to interact with her quite a bit. She was great in guiding us through the tasting process and even made a list of a bunch of places for us to eat while in town! A must stop if visiting Galveston!
