Galveston's Postoffice Street Nightlife

Just off the Strand in historic downtown Galveston, Postoffice Street has become the island's after-dark heart — a walkable run of brick storefronts holding Irish pubs, breweries, sushi-and-cocktail rooms, and dance floors, all a short stroll apart. This short walk links the district's most reliable nightspots, so you can bar-hop on foot beneath the district's old cornices and gaslights. Because everything sits within a few blocks, leave the car at the hotel and travel by shoe leather. Pace yourself, stay hydrated, and take in the 19th-century architecture between rounds. It's a compact, characterful crawl through one of Texas's most atmospheric downtowns.
