A lot of what folks come on spring break for is to hit up the arena-style clubs they might not have at home. And the island has no shortage of them–Louie’s and Mooncusser’s (formerly Tequila Frogs) are particularly huge.

The flipside, of course, is that with that many people–getting a drink isn’t always easy. And occasionally, you just want something more intimate. So, the favorite change of pace on South Padre is a little place way up at the north end of the island called the Coral Reef.

There’s not much here that’ll surprise you. Not many spring breakers. Long lines for karaoke, but short lines at the bar. They don’t have ginger ale (but will mix Coke and Sprite together, if you’re desperate). And the bathrooms (the men’s at least) are covered with pictures of the an older man (the owner? I don’t know) groping the breasts of several exotic dancers.
I tried to find a website for them, to find a better picture–but all I could find on-line was an explanation for how their beer is so cold. Apparently they use this:

It’s a pitcher with ice built into it! So the beer stays cold, without getting diluted!
