Best music in the Galveston bay area

Established in 2004, Katie’s Bar is the best place to listen to some of the best musicians from around the country. Bob Emmons, a life-long musician and native Houstonian, and his wife Katie were riding their Harley down Grand Avenue in Bacliff when they noticed a “For Sale” sign in front of the old Bacliff post office building. They instantly thought it would make a perfect live music venue so they bought the place and built it out, setting the stage to become one of the region’s top places to enjoy bands.

Bob and Katie founded the bar to make a place for people to catch musicians in an intimate setting. The dance floor is often filled with dancers of all ages and the Katie’s bar staff are the best in the area. The Blue’s jams on Wednesday and Sunday draws all the best musicians from around the region. Desiree and Joe, the current owners of Katie’s Bar are committed to maintaining the high caliber live music and the friendly regulars will welcome you!

You will find your next favorite new band at Katie’s Bar!
