The moon slides low over the Strand as you meet at Shearn-Moody Plaza — the sea breeze tugs at coat collars while a guide’s voice threads together crime, shipwrecks, and late-night confessions. This is a walking pub crawl that moves through Galveston’s Victorian commercial heart, pausing in old saloons and narrow taverns where the night seems to remember its own past.
