I actually go to school in Galveston and I am sure the Maritime Academy there would love it if you reopened it! Def. keep some the old time sailor flare to the bar! My grandfather has a picture at that bar with a buddy! I would for attend its opening!
Sorry, Lindsay, I don't know what it was like. The picture is of my aunt and uncle and friends (I think). I saw that photo at my aunt and uncle's 50 year wedding anniversary and posted it.
I have a picture of my father standing in front of that sign, my father is in the middle and there is a guy on both sides of him, and they are all holding beer bottles, they look like they were 17??? This would have been takin in the late 40s early 50s....great picture

Where was the Mermaid Bar?
Not sure if it was on the Sea Wall or in town. I'll ask next time I see my parents.
Anybody got any more info? I have a picture of my uncle in the Mermaid when he delivered beer there. It was taken in '62.

Cool. Thanks! Actually, I think they must have been in their 20s. I will have to have a family member correct that some day.
I have a picture of my mom and her friends in front of that sign too. She was born in 1933 and had to be around 17 or 18 in the pic.
I also have a pic of dad with two ...teens holding liquor bottles and smoking cigs. Wendy? My Dad is on the right.
Hi Wendy, I think I may have the same picture! My grandfather would be on the right. Is your dad skinny with blonde hair wearing khaki trousers?
