  After seeing the great reviews on Yelp and Facebook, my girlfriend and I decided to stop in Jack's Pub on a Sunday night. First off, the alternative rock music playing on the stereo is excellent and just the right EQ level to hold a conversation.
  
  The entire establishment is spotless. The bar, the bathroom, the carpet...great job! Even with smoking allowed in the bar, the place does not stink.
  
  Our bartender Yana, greeted us with a smile when we arrived. She was quite attentive to our needs to find the right seat at the bar so we could settle in and the best light so my girlfriend could sketch.
  
  I ordered a Blue Moon on tap. The beer is fresh and the lines are clean.  My girlfriend ordered a well vodka and Diet Coke which arrived an a nicely weighted tumbler glass.
  
  Next, I ordered 1/4 of a 12 inch pizza (thin crust) with pepperoni and black olives. Oh my.  Let me tell you about the crust. It was perfectly cooked with just the right tiny bit of crunch and flakiness. The quality of white cheddar cheese and pepperoni. Wow.
  
  We also enjoyed an order of jalapeño poppers that were delicious and not oily. Based on the breading, I'm pretty sure these were made from scratch.
  
  For entertainment there is a pool table, gaming machines and a couple of real dart boards.
  
  If I could score Jack's Pub, it's food, and staff more than 5 stars, I would. We will certainly stop in at Jack's every time we visit Galveston, Texas.

  Make no mistake about it, this place is a dive! We have been here often and have always had a great time. I love nothing more than when a waiter or waitress remembers your face and your drink order and is already pouring it by the time you reach the bar. The food is pretty decent for bar food. They do make a pretty good burger and the pizza is not bad either. Not a bad dive to hang out at.

  Where has this place been all my life? We had such a blast when we went there! There are two different bars inside this one area one is a non-smoking bar and one is an area for smokers. We opted for the smoking area bar. Our bartender Macy was super friendly and had great service! The drinks were Very tasty, just the right combination! The cost was a little higher than what we are used to paying at our normal bar, but our regular bar is not in Galveston. I would totally recommend this and will be back for sure within the next few weeks!

  Popped in with my brother the night before a cruise. Perfect little dive bar but let me tell you, it was honestly frustrating how good the pizza is. Definitely going to become a stopping point when I come to Galveston in the future.

  Tracked down this puppy in the dead of winter based on the Schlitz website pointing out where to get their product. I don't know about the west end location, but this one didn't disappoint. It felt like I was in a 70's Schlitz commercial when I walked in with my pee coat and skull cap on. The bar had a Schlitz neon sign and a Falstaff clock. I talked to the waitress and told her my reason for coming, and she explained they order it for one customer( not on tap), but he hasn't been coming around. Well, I don't drink enough of it to keep them ordering it, but it was a nice foray into a parallel dimension of a now marginalized popular beer. The clientele seemed nice enough, but who knows if it will change during tourist season. There's plenty of parking space too- had my brew and finger foods then called it a night.
