Hidden gem 💎 for sure! If you’re wanting great customer service; an inviting atmosphere ; that just happens to be a pizza joint and cafe 🍵, welcoming dogs and owners alike. My wife and I stopped by after a nice stroll on the beach. For the price of pizza serving, service, and overall experience, you really can’t beat. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Always good drafts, but they have lots of other crafted drinks too, like coffees and teas. Honestly one of the best lattes on the island. Because it's part of the artist loft coop, they display rotating works and keep the vibe fresh. It's comfortable and intimidating. Recent food additions include snacks and charcuterie, and my favorite, the pita, hummus, and friends. Pet friendly, people friendly, relaxed.

This is an amazing spot with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for studying or getting together with friends. The music is relaxing and creates a great ambiance, while the menu offers a variety of food, drinks, coffee, and teas to enjoy. Open until midnight, it’s an ideal place for night owls or anyone looking for a cozy, productive environment. Whether you’re catching up with friends, working on a project, or studying for exams, this spot provides everything you need to stay comfortable! :)

I haven’t eaten the food here but I love getting the Earl grey tea with a shot of almond milk on the side since it is loose leaf. The tea is delicious and I love the artistic atmosphere especially the bound notebooks on the counter with people’s art in it. The bartender is wonderful and nice. I highly recommend visiting if you want to relax with a nice drink and enjoy the atmosphere.

So much to say! It's a family and pet friendly pub with craft beer, wine and coffee, an art gallery, and a showplace for art activities. Also sponsors a street concert every Wednesday night (originally started during the COVID lockdown, so musicians could safely perform and building residents could attend via their surrounding windows). There's more but I just suggest every visitor to Galveston experience this unique place themselves.

Been coming here since I moved to Galveston in 2019. It's a fantastic place that is really a big part of my Galveston experience. I frequent the place as a place to study. They have both coffee and lots of alcoholic drinks. It's especially a nice place to study on a weekend night when all I want to do is hang with my friends instead. So to keep things spicy, I usually will get a draft deer on a slow Saturday night.

The only reason I take a star is because their wifi isn’t always the most reliable.

This place is also perfect for a hang out with friends or when family come into town. Pro has art exhibits year round that changes about once a month from amazing local artists. They have a large selection of board games as well. Check them out!
