“It is an intimate atmosphere with the best upcoming and done songsmiths in Texas.”
Always an AWESOME time!. If you are visiting Galveston, make sure you stop here! My wife and I love the atmosphere and the drinks and are never disappointed with the service or the great live music. A great escape and a wonderful time any day of the week!
Live Music and Friendly Atmosphere. This is a fantastic little place to watch live local and not so local musicians. Small enough to feel like you know the performers but professional and fun too! Go, go, go and check out some music even if you aren't familiar with the artist. Never dissappoints!
This cozy, beachside old-timer serves up coffee, beer and a wide variety of live music five nights a week..
In Short
Rex Bell opened the doors to the original Old Quarter in 1967, but the cafe moved to the Strand District in 1996. Early highlights included Bert Wills and the late Townes Van Zandt. Though he's dabbled with a variety of musical styles since opening the place, Bell has swung back to his stable of local acoustic musicians with a few bigger names from Austin and Houston like Sisters Morales and Ray Wylie Hubbard.
best acoustic acts. If you want what the name implies go there. It is an intimate atmosphere with the best upcoming and done songsmiths in Texas.
Gotta Love Wrecks!. Wrecks has done an incredible job keeping us coming back and we're forever thankful for his dedication. Thanks, Wrecks for giving us a great spot for music in Galveston! Be sure to try out the Star Bock beer that has made him famous!
