Although we wouldn’t trade our Redneck Yachts for the world here in Texas, that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate alternative methods of cracking open a cold one on the water. If you’re looking for good food, specialty drinks, live music, and a summery vibe unique to the Texas Gulf Coast, look no further than Harrison’s Landing in Corpus Christi. It’s a floating bar, restaurant, AND gift shop all in one, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find another place like it in the state.

Locally known as the "Tavern on the Bay," Harrison's Landing is the perfect place to unwind after a long week. Centrally located in the Corpus Christi Marina, it's within walking distance of the city's most popular attractions.

No other restaurant in town offers a floating tiki bar, dining area, AND gift shop. They might as well have a cruise, too — oh, wait... they do.

Before or after your meal, hop aboard the "Japonica" and experience the bay like never before. It's a one-hour, BYOB boat tour. Snacks and bottled water/soda are available during the ride.

Can't decide between a burger or seafood? Just get both! A nice surf 'n' turf pairs perfectly with a specialty cocktail — enjoyed on the patio while watching an iconic Texas sunset, of course.

No meal eaten outdoor is complete without some live music to accompany it, which is exactly what Harrison's has nearly every night during summertime. Good food, drinks, company, and the relaxing sound of water gently lapping against the deck. It doesn't get much better than that, y'all.
