The Gaff is one of those easygoing Port Aransas spots where the night just falls into place — cold drinks, a crowd that's clearly in vacation mode, and a live set from Revaluation filling the air whether you settle in inside or claim a spot out on the open-air side. Pull up a seat and pair the music with something from the kitchen: pizza, warm sandwiches, or their signature parrot bits fresh from the oven.
It's a short stroll back to Beached Inn when the last song fades, and there's nothing quite like walking home with the Gulf breeze at your back, knowing the porch and the sound of the surf are waiting.
