I would HIGHLY doubt that there would be space for a group as large as ours at a place certain to be packed by the rally crowd.

We are almost forced to get away from the rally area due to the crowds and with a side-goal of trying to incorporate a bit of riding for those unfamiliar with the Galveston area.

That is why I am thinking we are forced back to the mainland or across the ditch.

Chico's on the Seawall is another suggestion there are 2 floors an upper outside deck I know that would be more than enough space.  I live here in Galveston so I'm trying to think of a place that would be sufficient enough.

Sounds like you are just what we need:  someone most familiar with the locale and establishments.  I, for one, am somehow completely unfamiliar with Chico's.  Not sure how I've missed it, but................

Its been there for about 1 1/2 to 2 years its brand new.  I was looking for a website to post so everyone could take a look at it but I didn't have any luck finding one.  If I find some time I can take a few pictures and post them and then everyone can make a decision.  I will also ask around for any other ideas.  Chico's has a Mexican and American menu and a full bar.

This is located close to Stewart Beach I think.   Can't remember the name of the place that was there before.

We are going to see what we can find this weekend. Do we have an idea of about how many people to expect? We should have a round about number for last year and then add some for newbies.

I think it was somewhere around 80 people last year. With that large of a group is going to be hard to find a place.

[LianeM1178]

Chico's would be perfect for just 80 people I thought it was more people than that.

I cannot see a place on the island during the rally week holding a spot for 80 people without some kinda quarantee $$$$$$$

they are not going to want to turn business away while waiting for us to show with 10-100 people. Heck,I understand it's a business. Can you imagine how long it would take to get food if just 40 of us wanted to eat along with the other patrons

That what was great about the SBC

You are probably right considering the fact the rally is increasing in size each year.  Well I tried.

I call your attention to the operative word:  "KINDA"

So are we set with Chico's? Was going to spend some time this weekend trying to find someplace off the island. If we are set, then I will make other plans.

If it sounds good to everyone, yes it is a go. They already put my name down for 80 people, all I have to do is let them know what time.
