I’ve seenin Galveston described as many things, but a hidden gem?

That’s what Terry Ward has proclaimed at the Men’s Journal. The biker bar made Ward’s list of the 25 Best Beach Bars in America. It’s a list that includes spots in St. Kitts, St. Barths, Cape Cod and Sitka, Alaska.

Ward describes Woody’s as a place where you’ll find roughnecks, oil execs and women in bikinis. He also says the bar’s signature drink is a Chilly Willy (Southern Comfort, Smirnoff and Blue Curacao).

Find Ward’s complete list/gallery of top beach bars here.

Woody’s is a fine place to chill, but it’s not even my favorite beach bar in Galveston. That would Jimmy’s on the Pier. Sipping a daiquiri while sitting over the Gulf in one of Jimmy’s faux adirondack chairs is a real pleasure.

Woody’s Beach Bar: 11149 Termini San Louis Pass, 409-740-6969

Jimmy’s on the Pier: 9001 Seawall, 509-974-4726
