r/galveston

Me and a dozen buddies here for the day and are gonna be going out for dinner and/or drinks this evening, any recommendations for folks in the 25-35 age range, preferably locally owned and not a chain?

Touristy is ok, I mean, we're tourists lol.

We're staying a few blocks off seawall Blvd and will probably spend a few hours on the beach tomorrow after checking out of the air BNB before driving home, so might be looking for a lunch spot tomorrow as well

Thanks for any recs 🤗

Howdy r/galveston! 👋

My friends and I (a group of 6 university students from Kazakhstan) are coming to Galveston this summer for the J-1 Work and Travel program. We are incredibly excited to spend our summer working and living on the island!

We already have our jobs lined up, but we are currently having a hard time finding a short-term lease for the summer. We need a place for about 3 to 4 months (roughly mid May through early September). Since standard apartment leases on the island seem to be 6 to 12 months, we are hoping the local community might have some leads or advice.

What we are looking for:

• A house or apartment that can accommodate 6 people.
• A short-term, 3 to 4-month lease.
• Ideally somewhat furnished (since we are only here for the season), but we are very flexible!
• Moving in May 18th

If anyone has a property they are looking to rent out, knows a landlord who is friendly to J-1 seasonal students, or is a local student leaving for the summer and looking to sublet their place, please let me know!

We would greatly appreciate any tips, contacts, or advice you can share. Feel free to comment or send me a direct message.

Thank you so much in advance! 🤠

P.S. Sorry for the AI text. Thought this would be the best way to get my point across.

My wife and I will be staying in Galveston on May 22nd for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Looking for an upscale steak and seafood restaurant. Willing to spend ~500 bucks for an amazing dinner experience. What are the top places? Thinking of The Steakhouse at San Luis or Number 13 based on a Google search, but wanted to hear from the locals.

I have tried a few of the Crescent 9 seltzers from La Rumba and they were fantastic, I’m looking for other places like restaurants that might offer similar drinks. Anyone know if they can be found here?

I have a Evap code that just won’t go away so I need a shop that will just say it’s all good so I can get it fixed since I got a ticket for it.

Anyone really happy with their dealer with a recent golf cart purchase? Looking for recommendations

I have some bare wall to work with.

Hey all!

I'm a foreign medical graduate starting a rotation at UTMB and need a decent place to stay at a reasonable cost. I'm having trouble finding a suitable place and would appreciate any leads on where to look.

Thanks in advance

what are some good bars on the strand with djs and dancing on fridays nights? coming with a 21-23 year old crowd but they are so tame and i would actually like to get them out and dancing/partying! suggestions??

also any bach party recs are welcome!

I've had some good Po'boys in the island before, but I'm looking for places that may have out door seating and a view towards the Gulf.

Hey everyone, I'm gutted to say that something came up last minute and my family and I can't make it to the Dallas Stars playoff games this week. We have our seats for the 28th (Lower Level 118, Row J) that we need to find a home for since they shouldn't go to waste. If any fellow fans are looking to be there in person, please shoot me a PM! I'd much rather these go to someone from this community than a random resale site.....

Looking for a 2 bedroom in the Dawn condos that’s great for two young boys. Tv in their room is a must. We plan to be there at the end of May. The Victorian was ok, just cramped and dank in the open hallways.
