    Sky bar is a trendy lounge on post office which seats a surprisely amount of people from what you would imagine on the outside. Happy hour appetizers and drinks really lured us in. The Hawaii 5-0 and snowcone martinis were very sweet and whichever sake we had also went down easily. The seaweed salad, calamari, and coconut shrimp were our top appetizers. The shumai were somewhat bland but still very tender. We split our entrees between steaks and sushi (as the name of the restaurant might encourage), and had Spider, Danny, and Scorpion rolls to share along with the strip steak.

    First and last visit. Food was great, but food service was super slow on sushi items. Appetizer came out very quick. I ordered the Steak Teriyaki dish and other 2 people ordered 3 different sushi rolls. They brought my food out but their sushi did not come out until 20 minutes later. Whoever makes the sushi is super slow. The food was good, but not worth the wait for us. Also very noisy place.

    A fun surprise as we are not from Galveston and the best I could do was look up places and trust reviews! I made a reservation through Google Assistant which was so easy, so I didn't even have to wait to talk to someone. When we arrived a few minutes early, they were happy to seat us early and the waitstaff was excellent. It did take a bit to prepare our sushi order, but we were kept in the loop by our waiter who kept our glasses full. Once delivered, we were thrilled with each item we got--I love that they have sushi rolls by the piece so you can try a little of everything, and I also had some sashimi which was very good and fresh. Martini was top notch, and we left very happy to have discovered a great place! Will definitely be back. Thank you for making our last night in Galveston so memorable!

    Best spot for sushi on the island hands down! Great service (our waitresses name was Marissa I think!) Clean restaurant. The salmon is fatty and delicious. The crunchy veggie springrolls are soooo good!!!The steak is top quality. I’d say this is one of the best restaurants on the strand definitely. They’re also dog friendly on the patio! I’m obsessed it’s so good & well priced <3!!!!!!! Everything is super fresh and made to order. I’ll definitely be coming back! THIS PLACE ROCKS!

    We had a good time at skybar at dinner last night. We enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls, spicy edamame, vegetarian special and vegetarian rolls. The spring rolls were only 3 pieces per order, wish it was 4. The vegetarian special tasted very good, but wish there was a bit more sauce than provided - the rice could get a little dry. I loved the vegetarian rolls - they were really yummy. A special mention to the spicy mayo - it was delicious. All in all a good experience 👍

    Not bad, good Sushi, good atmosphere. I will visit again. It's very small, so there may be a wait.

    Words can not describe how pleasant an experience we had at this place. The service is great and the food is off the chain. We were looking for some good sushi and this is definitely the place to get that in Galveston. Also, the fried calamari was excelent, and the tempura chicken with vegetables was amazing. Not to mention the prices are totally affordable. We will be back soon.

    Great experience- my girlfriend and I are on a mini vacation. Craved some sushi 🍣 and this satisfied us. Both got full off of $75 which for sushi ain’t bad at all. Our server DJ did great at making recommendations, happy hour was worth it 💯

    Second time coming here on my annual vacation to Galveston and once again the food was top notch. I got the crab Rangoon and the shaggy roll. Both were perfection. Can’t wait to come back again next year

    We had an excellent experience here New Year's Eve! We had a reservation and were running a bit late due to difficulty finding a lyft. We contacted Sky Bar and they assured us there was no worry, they would hold our reservation. When we arrived all the inside tables were full but the manager, Thomas, got us seats at the bar and provided us with a free drink while we waited. Once seated the servers were attentive and the food was AMAZING. We had noticed how fresh the items in the sushi bar case were and it was clear in the taste of our meal that all their food was kept that fresh. We enjoyed seeing part of the crew from here over at Envy later that night :) I highly recommend this place.

    Second time to sky bar, both times with a party of 5 or more. The ambiance is very nice, and would make a great place for a party of two as well. This is my favorite place for sushi, both times it has been beyond expectations and delicious.

  • 5/5 Jesseca B. 7 months ago on Google
    Really enjoyed Sky Bar. They had an evening happy hour with $6.50 martinis & $5 wines, which was a great deal! Happy hour bites as well. I was Very Pleased with my sushi and dumplings!

    Went here for a date night on a Sunday evening. I liked the ambiance inside however it was very cold, we asked to sit outside instead and it was no problem. The waitress was extremely attentive and made sure to check in on us at just the right times. We had a few dishes and a few rolls and I was pleasantly surprised how good the sushi was! Left feeling very satisfied and will be coming back!

    Skybar is one of the best restaurants in Galveston! We got Sushi, Crab Rangoon and the “Royal Flush” and all was amazing! This is going on my Go To restaurant list! Cocktails & service are amazing, too!

    I stopped in for the late night happy hour they have, as a nice little treat. I was promptly met at the door and directed to seat. The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the cold sale offerings. My seaweed salad came very quickly, followed by my gyoza. After I had time to finish those items my sushi selections were ready, all the food items I ordered were available from the extensive happy hour menu. It's definitely a local favorite, and stays fairly busy, but the staff is always friendly and attentive.

    Upon sitting down, I ordered cocktails, an edamame app & some simple veggie sushi rolls (pictured). My cocktail and edamame came out fairly quickly, but then I waited for a cucumber roll & an avocado roll for over 1 hour. It was busy, but tables around me were seated, ate, and left, in the amount of time I was waiting for my sushi. I assume something with our order got messed up or forgotten about in the kitchen, causing our food to come out so late. On another note, my simple cucumber roll was $9 and my avocado roll was $7.95. I've never seen prices this high for basic vegetable rolls. I'd consider going to Skybar again only for cocktails or if the menu prices are adjusted to reflect the value of the veg options.

    The food was phenomenal and the presentation was, too. Might do a little more planning before going back. I believe the in-house menu differed from the online one.

  • 4/5 Linz S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a little crowded when we came in but we didnt have to wait long to be seated, the service we had was alright. The food was good they had a few vegetarian choices i could get and it be vegan as well. Its a cute little resturant, if im ever in town again id go again.

  • 5/5 A V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, my rating went from 2 to 5 star. I ordered 2 rolls, one was great and the other was utterly disappointing. The service was absolutely great though and recognized it offering me a replacement. Over all the food I ate was delicious and the other meals I watched served looked amazing as well.

  • 3/5 Hunter U. 3 years ago on Google
    Weird service. Food was pretty average. Steak was good but not cooked medium rare. Rice was overcooked by a good 10 minutes. Sushi was good 👍 had better but not terrible at all 4 of 5 on that.

  • 5/5 Ashley C. 2 years ago on Google
    Whether you sit inside or outside, it's a great dining experience. The titanium Martini is delicious, does taste a bit like a margarita so if you're not a fan of those maybe don't order it. The plating is gorgeous and food is delicious!

    Best sushi in Galveston. Great atmosphere, great service and sushi is always fresh. I go everytime I come to Galveston.

    Waitress was super nice but not the most knowledgeable. Sushi rolls were really good, especially the scorpion roll - we both loved that. Mochio ice cream was unusual but good.
