SOUTH PADRE ISLAND. This quirky, open-air joint takes the nightlife thing and gives it a South Padre twist, thanks to live bands most nights and parasailing and wave-runner rentals during the day. Billed as one of the island's first palapa bars (courtesy of its open-sided, thatched-roof structure), Coconuts overlooks Laguna Madre, making it an ideal place to enjoy the sunset over a few cervezas. Adding to the resort-inspired scene are the music selection and Caribbean-heavy menu, both of which add touches of spice to the place.

Even those of non-Blarney descent can count themselves lucky for stumbling upon this charming little pot of gold, South Padre's sole Irish pub. Enjoy a few games of cricket, watch your favorite game on the tube, and revel in traditional Irish-style friendliness while savoring one or three rich, frothy Black & Tans. Live music and free, all-you-can-eat, movie-style popcorn round out the experience, helping even the most obvious tourist get in that island frame of mind and feel right at home.

BAYSIDE. Although its tropical pink facade is more SoBe than Lone Star, this busy baysider earns high marks as a laid-back place to enjoy delicious local-inspired fare, play a few games of shuffleboard, and share cervezas or cocktails with amigos. Indeed, Louie's Sports Bar is a popular gathering place – one that features 44 TVs with satellite feeds, complimentary hors d'oeuvres at happy hour, and a mind-boggling selection of domestic and international brews. A spectacular summer-long firework series (on Friday nights) and frequent live bands ensure great crowds.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND. Upscale but still in keeping with South Padre's unspoken "keep it casual" credo, Sea Ranch offers breathtaking water views, patio dining, and a smartly appointed dining room adorned with original artwork. A favorite end-of-day gathering spot for the area's more affluent visitors, the restaurant's cocktail lounge, Dirty Dave's, offers indoor and outdoor seating. In fact, rumor has it that there are few better places on the island to watch the sunset than on Dave's deck, evening cocktail in hand.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND. Billed as the sole brewpub south of San Antonio, this South Padre stalwart earns high marks for tasty house quaffs like the Tailing Red Amber. To complete the scene, the owners have decorated the place with old brewing odds and ends, including burlap bags hanging from the ceiling, copper kettles, and an enviable collection of beer bottles and beer-related posters. In addition to the island's only handcrafted brews, the Company also serves delicious American pub grub that ranges from its signature ribs to pizzas, steaks, and burgers. Outdoor seating is available on the second floor deck.
