Additional Information

Your host, Mike, is a Galveston native with roots stretching back 13 generations. He has been a lifelong resident of the island.

He has been a part of the Galveston nightlife for more than a decade and a half, knowing all the faces both in front of and behind bars! The journey is certain to introduce you to new people, as you savor your preferred drink.

Hear genuine accounts of smugglers, spirits, rebels, leaders, and seafarers who once roamed the very streets you will be navigating.

Our pub crawl is much more than an exploration of captivating drinks; it’s a journey that honours the deep-rooted past, catastrophe, and victory of the city on stilts.

There are a myriad of narratives to delve into in Galveston’s historical precinct. Particularly when darkness descends. Allow us to steer you through the lanes and into the eeriest corners on this unmissable venture.

Join us and engage with fellow pub crawlers, uncovering the city’s concealed treasures that go beyond the usual tourist attractions, and experience a night on the town like no other.

It was a great tour, and... - It was a great tour, and it was really neat hearing the history of the town and the major influences of the city that we otherwise would have never heard. Mike was great and even made sure that we got back to our car safe at the end of the tour

Just an awesome time with cool people - Mike is insanely knowledgeable about the island I thought it was awesome that every bar we went to he knew the bartenders and we got immediate. Service. My favorite part had to be seeing the incinerator. It was sick AF.

Best pub crawl ever - This is was our second time going on Mike's pub crawl, so he changed it up and knocked it out of the park again. We went to different bar this time with different stories. Me and my girl are going to do a third one just to see what new stuff he shows up.
