I love this place because of the vegan options. Lots of non-dairy options for coffee and a small vegan menu for food. Friendly people and a cozy spot to hang out at.

Went in a Saturday night. They had a art event going on upstairs. It was busy & a fun time. Had some good coffee drinks. Ordered a slice of pizza but it came out a little soggy. Overall it was a good time.

We stopped in as we were passing by the shop. It has a lot of antiques and beautiful stuff. They do consignments too. While we were there a woman stopped in so she could play on a piano. She played so beautifully it really made the shopping experience a joyful time.

Cool building. Hot mocha was not good. Pizza slice took a long time. Easy to park there on Sunday. Regardless of the retort below I personally found things to be very slow there on a Sunday. Im assuming most pizza is made by hand since thats how pizza works. I had some time to look around at the art. Overall 3 stars is fair.

Enjoyed a refreshing beverage and slice of pizza here. Bartender was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Not like a typical dark bar but instead a well lit space perfect for a pit stop.

To the owner,We revisited your establishment and I must say we had a much better time. We sat down at the bar and the bearded bartender was great. We like the way he tells it like it is and the service he gave us was top notch. Another thing we liked was the journals that you could write poems in or draw in, I myself started a drawing I hope to come back in soon to finish. Even though you only have 12 beers on tap what you offer on those 12 taps were all great craft beers and the bottle selection is real good as well. Thanks again for the 5$ token and steering us to your place, we will be back for sure and as you can see I readjusted my rating to reflect our satisfaction.

Nice drink options for everyone from beer and wine too coffee drinks. Good service. A little different vibe that may not be for everyone. Had nude art on the wall and a lot of younger/20 somethings on their computers and iPads. Good location to the strand and between brew tours. Also enjoyed some good ! Second time going here and enjoy their craft beer selection

Staff are always up for a chat, unless they are busy. Great beer selection, great wine and cocktail selection. Take a moment, however, to view the small gallery on display from local artists.

My boyfriend and I happened upon this place in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon. It had great coffee drinks and happy hour drinks like mimosas. They even had a pizza special when we were there. We also enjoyed the atmosphere and the art that was featured at the time.We ended up going later that same evening for an open mic poetry reading followed by a duo. We will definitely go back the next time we visit Galveston.

The employees at this location are some of the nicest you will find anywhere! They give AMAZING customer service, and really go above and beyond in positive community relations. I cannot say enough good things about the employees! There are monthly poetry-reading nights, where folks come from all over to participate in!! It is also part of the ARTWALK, which means that it display collections from artists, which changes every 6 weeks! Oh, and remember that its a PUBLIC HOUSE, which means that there are tons of board games-great for group outings!! It is pet-friendly, with a water bowl near the door for your FUR-BABE!! HOW COOL IS THAT!! For those folks visiting, I rate this place a whopping 5 stars! Have a great year everyone, and go check out the drink list and Gallery at The Proletariat! BADDA-BOOM!!

Review №31

Have gone here several times now and literally never had a good interaction with the service. I don’t know what the staff’s problem is but they all seem to have the same chip on their shoulder. They are down right rude most of the time. No wonder it’s always dead every time I go in. Nice beer selection and cool art sometimes but not worth it. Won’t be back and don’t recommend.

Review №33

This venue has wonderful community gathering events such as art exhibitions and poetry nights. They have a limited bar selection however have all the staples needed to fulfill guest requests. They also offer wine by the glass or by the bottle, which is rare for a bar without a restaurant, but makes for wonderful outings with groups and friends. The indoor area offers generous seating and patronage is there to socialize and study alike, such a diverse mixture of people located directly under the Artist Lofts in Galveston. The outdoor seating area is an excellent spot to hang out and meet locals and friends in passing as is it is located in the historic district of downtown Galveston. The owner is often on premises and does a fantastic job of engaging his clientele as well as fostering a sense of community and well-being.

Great study spot for students as its not to busy. Food offered is from local business close by. Beer, coffee, tea, wine, and even sake - theres something for everyone!

This is a nice comfortable bar just two blocks off the strand. They have an very nice selection of interesting craft beers and other drinks, so you can bring non craft drinkers. They allow dogs inside so it is a great place to get out of the Galveston heat and enjoy a drink. They do not serve any food. The location is a loft for artists so they feature the local artists work so there is always something interesting to look at. We tend to make it a regular stop when we visit the island.

This is a spacious, hip place to hang out. The bar tender scoffed at me and started to walk away when I committed the sin of trying to order a mixed drink - I hadnt noticed that there were no spirits behind the bar. Beer and wine only! Despite the somewhat rude bartender, I will be back if I am ever walking near the Strand in the evening.

A combination bar, restaurant, coffee house and art gallery. Work by local artists hangs on walls and the artists themselves work upstairs in their studios. Very friendly owner of the bar gave us a history lesson of the building.

This is going to be one of my new favorite places to drink . The Proletariat Gallery has a wide variety of wine , mixed drinks and some called mead . This place has a very cool relaxed vide . It is a great place to drink ,hang out with friends or by yourself . The drink I loved was something called mimosa but instead of orange juice they mix it Austin Eastsiders cider and champagne. The bartender was really nice and helpful .
