“Rude, unprofessional racist owner!!!”
Review of Jack's Pub

Reviewed 4 February 2018 via mobile

Hi. I want to share this horrible experience i had today at Jack’s. Me and my friends were there for some drinks having a good time, playing pool and domino like we always do. All of the sudden a guy (apparently he was the owner that I supposed we all should know) and swept the dominos tiles off the table and said “get the f*** out of my bar you russians” screaming and cursing us. At first i did not understand what was going on, I thought is just a drunk guy looking for troubles. Then my friend asked him what was his problem. He never explained anything, just being a complete racist, kicked us out.
Just to be clear that was not our first time hanging out there, we always behave, never got in trouble, always nice with the staff, just getting together with friends, having a good time, but apparently that fact somehow pissed him off. Well very disappointed, if he is treating all of his costumers like that, then I don’t know how he still runs the business.
For all this 5 years i’ve been in this country, this was my first time experiencing this kind of attitude, and I believe that not all the people are like this rude, unprofessional, racist guy named JACK.
I really hope all my “russian” con citizens will keep this in mind when they go there to bring some business to this place.
P.s. none of us is from Russia by the way, but I guess that didn’t really matter for him, he just had a little bit too much to drink and decided to show some power there. Well done JACK!!! You must be proud of you geography knowledge)))

This is a local bar, very laid back. We came into town unplanned and wanted something casual to eat but better choices than the local drive through. Someone suggested this bar and I am so glad they did! Seriously burgers to die for! Lots of options and you can add a ton of stuff at no extra charge. Nice selection of beer and an ok choice of wine to go with food. I have heard that the pizza is excellent, too. Stop by you wont be disappointed.

We live here and the only reason we don't go more often is we are daytime drinkers or Happy Hour. Though it changes from time to time, Jack's usually doesn't open until 5 PM. We are usually on our way home by then. But, when we are in the area at that time, we always stop by. Catfish is GREAT! Jack is very friendly and so far, every bartender we have met has been. A previous poster talking about men going home with an empty wallet as to females there, HUH?? Maybe hubby was down at the local topless bar, down the street. Though guess I shouldn't comment as my husband and I have never been there past 8 PM. Yes, it is smokey, but if that offends you, there are more places in Galveston that don't allow smoking, than that do. Do your research. Nice friendly bar with great food!!

Great local spot for a drink. He also serves excellent bar food to hit the spot. I think best fried catfish in town. Try his new bar on the seawall. No food yet but coming.

Popped in for a minute because one of the people we were with wanted to stop in and have a beer. OMG you will probably get lung cancer in here it is so smoggy and smoky. We left our friend and went next door. I think this place would be a cool place of they would drop the smoking. Oh well I will just choose not to go in there.
