Poop Deck

Seems a little sketchy at firt, then it grows on you. Good view of the seawall and ocean. Great for people watchng.

Great view, cheap drinks, locals, dog friendly, old school, happy hour, deck to watch people and ocean, view of pleasure pier. I like it!

Great place and great service always our first place to have a beer when we visit galveston !

My kind of local divey dicey bar. The waitress are sweethearts and very friendly. Great little deck to enjoy your beer and watch those Pelicans flying high. Seeing the tide and enjoying that cool sea breeze. Being from the desert wastelands it’s a special treat. I always make an effort to visit once a year.

Renae is an absolute goddess. So welcoming and sweet and attentive. Looking forward to meeting her sister, who she describes as having a «heart of gold.»

Been going there for 25 years. One of the best bike stops on a Sat. aftermoon. Bar lady’s always have a smile and good service.

Fun dive pirates bar! Loved the 80s rock on the juke box and all of creative décor. Amazing views of the Gulf.

It’s not cash only, they just don’t take prepaid cards. It’s a cool bar with super salty sea dogs who ask funny questions. One of them asked me if I’m sure this is the Dallas airport. There is also a wall of poloroid tittie pics. You can’t beat that

never go to Galveston without stopping at our favorite place! Great group of people that work there and have met some great friends!

I actually enjoyed this place. They allowed my dog and I to sit on the top deck and enjoy some sun on Thanksgiving weekend. Could not ask for a more relaxing spot on the island.

This place has the BEST view of the beach.
I love everything about this bar: nautical décor, cheap beer, pool table, sweet view, tacky knick knacks.
Perfection.

Its got «poop» in the name. Whats not to love?
Seriously though… stick to bottle beer and bring cash.
And if youre a fat kid… make sure you check the sturdiness of your stool before you sit down.
Seatown dive that makes you feel like a sailor on furlough? Check.
Nice stop while in Galveston.

local dive bar with a great view.
very nice bartender and owners.
1 pool table
jukebox
cyclist tend to hang there…

Came here for a night cap, after enjoying Pleasure Pier, while we were on our way back to our vehicular transport. My friend ordered Grand Marnier neat and chick tops it off with coke. We both looked at each other and he was like, maybe I’ll like it. Nope it tasted like lucky charms and was really gross. I asked her to remake it, and she did but said she thought we asked for coke. The bar allows smoking. So that and the botched drink make me not want to return.

Upstairs was completely full
Downstairs was way more of a dive feel and just hot as hell due to no AC and open walls.
Beer is cold and $ 3 each but came in a can? UGH! Hate can beer.
Was said to be a biker bar but more of the people stumbling out of the place while I was there looked more homeless than biker. And I do mean STUMBLE.

These other reviews are spot-​on. Facing the Gulf is wonderful on any day when it’s not raining, with a drink in your hand and loved ones by your side. The Poop Deck is a very small old-​school, no frills bar, and the patrons and staff are wonderful people. Sure, you’ll get a bad egg once in a while anywhere you go. But I feel safe here, there are only people who want to have a drink and sit outside and visit. Not a meat market, not a pick up place, just a run down belly-​up to the bar kind of place. It’s mostly an older crowd, people that aren’t looking for entertainment, but my college aged daughter definitely enjoyed herself too.

As we were walking around Seawall on Sunday afternoon we decided to make the Poop Deck our last stop on the «Sunday Funday let’s explore the neighborhood bar crawl.» We walked in to the downstairs bar which wasn’t really happening. We walked upstairs to find a lot of bikers on the deck upstairs and a little more going on. We ordered some drinks and tried to find a spot outside. A table opened up and we sat there and people watched for a good half hour. I am not impressed by motorcycles so when you sit there and constantly rev them up its more annoying to me than cool. Sorry, just how I feel. You get a lot of that here. Don’t expect to have a nice quiet conversation at this bar, there’s a lot going on.
They have a pool table and a jukebox upstairs. The pool table is missing some balls so it gave my boyfriend an advantage. It’s a dive for sure, but awesome!

This place needs a dress code. No sleeves on your shirt, if you have one. Missing teeth. Maybe a black eye or busted lip. The crunching noise under your feet as you walk is the sound of your soles crushing the shells of shattered dreams. This is where you drink on the island if you want to channel Charles Bukowski on a budget. The bartenders aren’t tanned. They are smoke cured. The last time I went here, there was a couple of drunken bikers being chased from the bar by an angry bottle wielding bar maid for fighting. Poop Deck incense would smell like beer vomit.
Basically, I love this bar. Reminds me of many of the «bad idea» bars that I have vague memories of frequenting in the French Quarter. This is a place where livers go to die.

Riding along the Seawall as a kiddie, the Poop Deck always gave me the giggles. Come adulthood and finally given the option to check it out, it’s exactly what I imagined. Dirty — but in a good way, like a martini — filled with locals, drunken tourists, cold beer and a great view.
It has a run-​down nautical look; a bar downstairs and upstairs, semi-​clean ladies room, surly bartenders (I was afraid to ask for a lime), decent liquor selection (but overpriced), an ATM (it’s cash only), and a rickety poop deck.
I wouldn’t call this place kid-​friendly, perse, but they didn’t necessarily give the kiddo the boot. Keep in mind, there are loud mouths, a questionable staircase, and a few pics of topless chicks on the side of the bar upstairs. It’s dog-​friendly too, like most Galveston establishments. Biker-​friendly. Cyclist-​friendly.
Tagline on their sign? «Where the Elite meet in bare feet» …Any Elite Unilocalers up for an outing at the Poop Deck?

This place is fabulous. After driving by this place a million times a group of us decided to try this place out on Labor Day weekend. As soon as we walked in I was in love. It’s a classic dive bar with a nautical themed décor. Classic rock on the jukebox, cash only and canned beer. Regulars are bellied up at the bar and there is a spacious outdoor patio with a great view of the beach. This will now be a regular stop for me when I head to Galveston!
