The toast of the Texas coast.How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

    Hearsay on the Strand is an excellent choice for a memorable girls’ night out. The atmosphere is stylish and cozy, making it perfect for catching up with friends. Their happy hour is impressive, offering great deals on both drinks and appetizers, so you can enjoy a fantastic evening without breaking the bank. The cocktail menu is a standout, featuring expertly crafted drinks that are both delicious and Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re a fan of classics or more adventurous mixes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Combine that with attentive service and a prime location in Galveston’s historic Strand district, and you’ve got a venue that’s hard to beat. I highly recommend Hearsay for its chic vibes, fabulous cocktails, and a happy hour that delivers great value. It’s the perfect setting to toast to a fun night with friends!
