Life on South Padre Island is quiet, except when it isn’t. Known for white-sand beaches, tropical island vibes, and fun nightlife spots such as LongBoard Bar and Grill, South Padre Island always has something to please during a Texas vacation. Today, we are shining the spotlight on LongBoard Bar and Grill, a popular SPI Restaurant that doubles as a nightspot.
Live Music Every Night
In normal towns, you may not find a fantastic restaurant that serves equally fantastic music, but South Padre Island is not like any other town, and LongBoard is popular for its nightly live music. Sitting directly on the bay, local bands play their hearts out against the backdrop of the Laguna Madre, offering up a selection of Southern rock that makes us happy to be Texan.

Sunset Views From the Deck
As if live music, great food, and happy guests weren’t enough, the sunset views from this restaurant on South Padre Island will break your heart. Not because they aren’t stunning, but because all too soon the sun falls into the bay and the sky turns dark once more. Sipping a cold beer, listening to country rock, and chowing down on elevated pub grub is an adventure that will make your stay even more memorable. Also, Friday night fireworks add some spark and color to your party, as LongBoard’s is the perfect spot to view our fireworks shows that take place every Friday at 9:20.
Tacos, Cold Beer, and Nachos
You would have to look very hard to find an SPI restaurant that isn’t special, but there is something extra about LongBoard Bar & Grill, something that just tugs at our heartstrings. Its menu, while seemingly not much different than other menus, packs a punch featuring elevated pub grub, Italian favorites, and the best tacos in town. It can be hard to choose which taco to try, so we suggest the Taco Sampler, a plate with 2 of each (carne asada, chicken, al pastor, baja shrimp, and baja fish). And finally, their Mountain of Nachos will please every palate, especially when washed down with your favorite beer.
