Leave South Texas behind and enter the Irish land of Cassidy’s Irish Pub, where the dimly lit atmosphere, dark wooden walls, and brass wall hangings give the feel of 100% Irish authenticity. Cassidy's provides a good selection of spirits and beer with Guinness on draft, so ask the bartender to pull one out of the tap with a white, foamy top. While you're relishing your delicious drink, relax and enjoy the local and regional live music offered every week.

An architectural gem on the city's bayfront, The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations, and showcases works from local and area artists in rotating exhibitions. The 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios, including a clay studio that encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. The Art Center also offers art classes, to express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.
