Love it here! Very nice staff and if you can, grab a drink! Beach Bum was a great beer and loved the frozen Sangria. Also met the wonderful furry mayor of The Strand! Can't wait to come back!

This place was so cute! I'm specifically talking about the bar!! There was a cat named joe who just hangs out there and the bartenders were very nice! I would definitely be going back to this place next time I come! They had lots of different drink options and cool cups that can be refilled for a cheaper price!

Annual stop for my sister and me to have a few Jell-O shots in memory of our mom. Always friendly and excellent Jell-O shots!

LET’S GO GIRLS 😁 We 3 girlfriends had a blast hanging out at LapaLapa!! at the sidewalk table for hours. John was completely 😎 awesome. Great friendly staff and ‘merchandise modeling’. Margaritas are fabulous in • every • way • possible. We’ll be back ASAP ~ DeDe ~ Gala ~ Kathy From Quitman Texas - Lake Fork

Love this place .Go grab a dosxx or a Carribean colada.

The bacon Bloody Mary’s are Amazing. And the staff is awesome and very friendly and helpful. Definitely a place to visit if your on the island.

Great place to visit, shop and have an Adult beverage!

I only visited for drinks but the drinks were good and strong. The lady helping fix drinks was nice; however the older lady behind the other register could stand to get some happy juice in her. The drink I ordered I think was the hurricane but it was a frozen fruity drink and they are not stingy with the liquor in their beverage.

Great staff, friendly and helpful. nice selection of beach drinks. The bacon bloody are excellent. I come here every time I'm in Galveston

This place is great! Lindsay was super friendly and made us some great drinks! Plus she was super-fun! Get yourself a Bloody Mary, sit a spell and relax!

We came back down to Galveston for our 20th Anniversary & were just strolling along the Strand & found our new favorite hangout of sorts! Their margaritas are amazing! As a matter of fact, we're going back down there tomorrow! I got a triple shot margarita & it did what ya might expect. 🤣 We 💙 Galveston!

If you are walking around the strand & see people holding massive bloody Mary's with an enourmous amount of bacon don't be jealous, go get yourself one at Lapalapa! Yep, voted Galveston island's best bloody & I agree! You can get a regular bloody for $9 or all the way for $13. Each has lime, pickles, olives & green beans. The delux has the extras of pickled okra, jalapeno, more olives, celery & a wad of bacon (they cook thin strips & bunch/roll them into a huge blunt-looking delight). The bloody mix is a med-spicy so if you like yours hot, you need to ask for it. The bartender pours the vodka liberally (like 3/4 cup full) & this is one fine drink! The staff are very friendly & work their tails off! And, there is a gift store somewhere behind the bar. Clean bathrooms.

great people that work there

What a perfect place to stop in for a cocktail during a stroll on the strand. I had the Hurricane. Delish and strong! My husband had the bloody mary ( deluxe of course) and said it was one of the best he ever had. Don't listen to those saying these drinks don't have enough alcohol. They are perfectly made and definitely strong enough. The staff was very nice and welcoming. We will make this a regular stop when we are down on the Strand from now on.

Awesome drinks , clean restrooms , awesome and friendly staff ...

Sweet Ladies! Such a fun friendly environment!

Most amazing place to enjoy adult beverages and people watch on the Strand!!! Come on y’all

amazing people! great atmosphere!

Best staff on the strand, plenty of clothes to choose from and might I add some of the best drinks as well. Gotta try the Bloody Mary with its in house recipe sure to keep you coming back from more.

Good times and great drinks. Recommend the Bloody Mary with bacon

Love to take a shopping break, get a drink and people watch for a few minutes

Customer service is phenomenal. Something you don't see much anymore. Thank you for making our day GREAT!!!

Can't say enough posItive about this place! Was in Galveston with the Fam and we were treating like Fam!

best place to hang out on the strand!

Given that there's a review over 4yrs old for this place, I'm honestly shocked (and a little bummed) I didn't know about it before this week! We've stopped in twice now and will probably pop in once more after Saturday brunch because this place has one of the best overall drinks on The Strand: $9 for a delicious Bloody Mary that's poured with AT LEAST 3 shots of vodka in it (per the first bartender who made me one). Yesterday's was filled nearly to the top with a splash of house-made Bloody Mary mix, and still, it was seasoned and mixed perfectly such that you couldn't even taste the alcohol...but boy could you feel it! They've also got a large selection of house made frozen 'on tap', too, with a couple alcohol free ones, all of which rotate flavor-wise. I noticed the bartender allowing samples of items to patrons when I was shopping around in store the other day, too, which was cool. They ultimately settled on the tricked out Bloody Mary for like $13, which basically meant a Bloody Mary piled high with bacon slices and the rest of your traditional toppers like celery, olives, etc. The store this bar is in is really great, too. The staff is super helpful and their prices on beachwear are comparable or lower even than other shops on The Strand. For instance, the same brand crochet bikini tops and a particular style swimsuit coverup have been calling my name since we've been here, and the cost here was actually lower than I saw them at the head shop down the way or the beachwear shop down on the corner. Not much cheaper, but enough that I'd have been bummed had I purchased the pricier items at either other locale, ya know. The bartender/shop lady who was there on our first visit (brunette, has a long dread in the back) was extremely helpful with sizing and suggestions when I was trying on crochet tops, and was never high pressure or pushy when it turned out I wasn't going to purchase (I guess commercially made crochet tops aren't meant for folks with a little boob, hah). Meanwhile, the bartender we encountered yesterday (blonde lady) was just as friendly and shared some good convo with my husband and I while she made today's Bloody Mary. Overall, this place is a great little shop to get a strong drink and peruse a good selection of beachwear. I've definitely added it to my list of must go places when I'm Galveston!

Great people that work there and an awesome selection of clothes and you can sit outside and enjoy a cold one and just watch the people

Great drinks and even better bar tenders

Staff is amazing and location is the perfect place to hang out, shop and have a drink at The Stand.
