The Proletariat Gallery & Lounge

Well this place is Non Galveston style… which is a good thing in this case. Architectural space, art and artsy with concrete floors and halogen lighting, the open space makes a splash. Then there is the beer, the beer is also a fantastic splash of craftyness with hints of… well you get the picture… yummy.
Now on to the service… it’s great but the server I
like… is the Beer Maven named SAM! Yes I said Maven, Samantha (don’t call her that) serves everyone with a super cute smile, a chirpy young voice and a refreshing style of personality that goes down well with any brew.
More over she rocks and studies «marine biology» which she will is about to be a grad of as of this writing and (soon) to be released into the wild… Good luck Sam… you’re a shooting STAR!

I’m not sure but my hunch is that this place has more craft beers than any other place in Galveston. I counted @ 73 different beers, from all over the US & Europe, on the menu, and they frequently add new ones to the list.
Categories include: Pale Ale, IPA, Wheat & Bitter Ale, European Ale (incl. Saison, Farmhouse, Belgian, Scottish, etc.), American Ale, Stout/​Porter, Lager & Spiced/​Fruit/​Vegetable Beers.
I am happily working my way through the list.

Cool art bar with art for sale. Centrally located. Excellent atmosphere. Good selection of beers with adequate pricing. Bartender was nice and helpful. Good for groups. No crowd-​like sensation thanks to the high ceiling and large glass windows. Planning to go back soon!

This place was walking distance from Tremont and I noticed it did not have the appearance of a typical Galveston joint. For a second, I thought I was in a swank art gallery, but then the owner welcomed us in and treated us like old friends. Beer selection is perfect with a little bit of everything. The prices were reasonable considering most places have gone up on craft beers. My group did not partake in wine but I did see there were options. The highlight of this place is definitely the atmosphere and the hospitality of the owner. I enjoyed viewing the art for sale in the bar and did not miss the tacky sea décor of most Galveston bars. As we were leaving, my friends and I thought it would be worth a weekend trip back to Galveston just to hang out at this place. Check it out even if it’s for one drink!

Exciting new art bar. Classy but down-​to-​earth art gallery art-​mosphere (sorry) using nearly 100% reclaimed material for tables, chairs, bar counter, etc. Chris is bartender at time of this review and has been friendly, helpful, and professional. At this point, I’d highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting bar in future.
