The atmosphere is stylish and cozy, making it perfect for catching up with friends. Their happy hour is impressive, offering great deals on both drinks and appetizers, so you can enjoy a fantastic evening without breaking the bank. The cocktail menu is a standout, featuring expertly crafted drinks that are both delicious and Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re a fan of classics or more adventurous mixes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Combine that with attentive service and a prime location in Galveston’s historic Strand district, and you’ve got a venue that’s hard to beat. I highly recommend Hearsay for its chic vibes, fabulous cocktails, and a happy hour that delivers great value. It’s the perfect setting to toast to a fun night with friends!
