The Gaff

What a fun place. I love this bar! Nice people too. The Gaff pizza was excellent with pepperoni, onions, bell peppers, hamburger, black olives, mushrooms.... Outstanding!Beers were nice and cold. We had a fun night.

Unfortunately,my first food experience here was one I'd like to forget. One of my favorite things to do is take a pizza to the beach. This particular evening I'd built a fire,weather was perfect and I was ready for an evening listening to the waves and looking into the fire.The Gaff,a local dive bar,is reputed to have good pizza. So,we slid by ordering in person. Telling us it would be 30 mins,we enjoyed the live music. An hour later upon inquiring about our pizza,the ditzie counter girl reaching for our pizza said," oh I thought you were picking up! I didn't realize you were waiting."Da! By the time the pizza was back at the beach,it was cold. But the fire was hot and nighttime beach experience mitigated the pizza faux pas.However,I wouldn't go back to the Gaff. The owner was standing there and knew what happened. He could have easily replaced our cold pizza with a hot one, on the house .No Go!

The pizzas are pretty good. The atmosphere is pleasant and friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves there. Definitly going back.

Fun little dive bar with belt sander races on Sunday. Speedy service (order at counter). Easily one of the top 3 pizzas we've had... and we pizza a lot.

Dare I say best pizza I've ever had! As many times as we've visited Port A and I had never eaten pizza from The Gaff until recently. It was highly recommended by our hotel. Hands down the BEST pizza I've ever tasted. The toppings are UNDER the cheese. It can get a little stuffy in the warmer months but there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy the cool beach breeze. It is a little hole in the wall spot that I would have passed up and am so grateful it was recommended. I need to go back asap because I've had such a craving for it lately.

Party like a local! This is a pirate themed dive bar with live music and the best dogs.We came for the annual talk like a pirate day parade and EMS fundraiser and we had a blast.Jim Dugan was playing an acoustic guitar set in the back and we sang along to Americans favorites while we waited for pizza. My friends ordered pizza and I enjoyed locally brewed craft beer from Nueces brewery. My fella ordered N/A beer.I met the owner Kip and his wife Heidi and they were so warm and authentic. They shared with me the struggles they faced on the island after the deviation of hurricane Harvey. They told me they were expanding the N/A beer selection and we talked about his previous work at the historic Scholz Garten in Austin, where we live. Places like this provide a real taste of island culture and it's so important to support this kind of independent business.We will definitely be back next year!!Support your local pirate bar!

We just absolutely loved our time here. The bar was so chill and the people were great! Tons of cute pups & plenty of outdoor seating. It's a truly simply and relaxing place but we loved it. The garlic cheese bread was good! It wasn't soggy and have a nice crispy bottom. You are getting exactly what you order! The Pizza was so good - we got a simple cheese pizza and destroyed it. I seriously love that they hand you some paper plates, your pizza, and a kitchen spatula. I'm telling you, chill vibes with some great pizza. We even got a few shirts because it was such a unique place with some good memories.

Great dive bar, nice beer selection, fast, friendly service. Entertainment too! Enjoy!

Fun locals bar. We came in from Michigan and stayed in town several days. The pizza here was amazing

The Gaffer pizza was really good, the bar had just the right feel, and the service was really quick and friendly, all while riding out a tropical storm.
