Night at the Docks in Seabrook, Texas

Last night we (husband and I) went to the Outrigger. It is under the Highway 146 bridge on on the water. What a great place to spend a Saturday night! Next time I will take a picture so you can see the beauty of the boats sailing by the docks and the Carnival lights from Kemah painting the sky. The music was Southern Rock. The people are friendly. It's family place that serves fresh seafood and beer bottles in chilled buckets. They bring you your condiments and plastic ware in an old cardboard 6-pack container. There are rolls of paper towels in case you need more wipes to clean you up from eating seafood. We sat at a bar overlooking the docks. For a while, the Yacht La Grand Dame sleek body was our main view, but we could see the lighted charter ships pass by in the channel.





Dinghies, sailboats and cigarette boats all took their turn tied to the dock of the Outrigger. The lower bar was definitely filled with sailors and their small dogs enjoying the ambiance of a perfect sea breeze as they dined on their shell fish and tuna.





We will be back with our teenage and young adult children. ( We may embarass them by singing and dancing on the docks to the great music.) Ask for Ashton, she is a great waitress.





Hope to see you there! It does get crowded. Park under the bridge and use the dock to get to the restuarant if you are arriving by land. The drive way is a bit tight. There is parking by the restuarant but it fills up quickly.
