Our full bar will feature unique and fun shareables, margaritas, draft beer, The Gnarly Gar’s famous Rumrunner, Pain Killer, Cross-Eyed Mary, and more!

An angler and birder’s paradise, Rockport is home to fantastic restaurants, countless festivals, amazing sunrises and sunsets, Goose Island State Park, and Texas’ only Blue Wave Beach!
