FAQs
What's the cover charge for? Where does the money for food/drink purchases go?
The $10 cover charge at the door is a direct donation to the Galveston Bay Foundation's oyster restoration projects in association with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Food and drink will be available for an additional cost. Proceeds from food purchases also benefit GBF, and all drink purchases support the venue.
What payment forms are accepted?
Cash and/or check is preferred for your cover charge and for any food plate purchases. The bar will accept cash and credit card for drink purchases.
What's for dinner?
Dinner for the Oyster Restoration Benefit will be catered by the newly re-opened TopWater Grill. Dinner options for $10: fried oyster basket, fried oyster po’boy basket, a dozen oysters on the half shell, fried or boiled shrimp basket, chicken sandwich, and penne pasta with grilled chicken and alfredo sauce. All baskets are served with hushpuppies and French fries. A large percentage of the dinner proceeds go directly to GBF's oyster restoration projects in Galveston Bay!
What's to drink?
18th Street Pier Bar & Grill is a full bar, so they will have anything and everything you could want! Drinks are available all night from the bar (once again, not included in the cover charge).
Where is parking?
There is a large lot for parking at the 18th Street Pier Bar & Grill, but we’re expecting over 500 people so carpooling is highly suggested. Parking is free.
What's the raffle all about?
Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event. Raffle tickets are $5 per ticket or $20 for 5 tickets. There should be lots of great prizes! If you would like to donate a raffle item, please email edemmeck@galvbay.org.
How else can you support the Galveston Bay Foundation?
Other donations will be accepted at the Benefit. GBF "swag" will also be available for purchase (like koozies, polo shirts, t-shirts, memberships)!
