Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe

413 20th St.
Galveston, TX 77550
409-762-9199
Owner Wrecks Bell, immortalized in the Townes Van Zandt song “Rex’s Blues,” says his folkish honky-tonk is one place “where the lyrics still count.” From behind the ornate, sheet-music-encrusted bar, Bell serves up draft beer, bass guitar licks and one-liners with equal aplomb to a mixed crowd of shrimpers, ne’er-do-wells and hippies, and the club -- with it’s Van Zandt shrine on one wall, trippy ’60s style canvases on all the others and Texas flag behind the stage -- is the antidote to the cheesy tourist gunk that plagues G-town.
