Return to the past as you step aboard the USS Lexington Museum, where you'll experience the World War II aircraft carrier that symbolizes the perseverance and determination of sailors, pilots, and military personnel who fought for freedom during the war. The floating museum features self-guided tours through the ship's maze of tunnels and ladders. Five self-guided tours cover 100,000 square feet and 11 decks. Sections of the ship that are open to the public include the hangar deck, engine room and sick bay, gallery deck, flight deck, navigation bridge, pilot house, and a chart house.
Just a few blocks from the bay, Mully's Irish Pub captures the style and soul of a laid-back atmosphere, good vibes, and fun-loving folks together under one roof. Mully's Irish serves a variety of drinks to enjoy while listening to music, playing a game of pool, or just hanging out with friends. If you’re a local or a visitor, the friendly staff welcomes you to enjoy a good time in the heart of the Sparkling City by the Sea. So, bring your friends or swing by yourself, either way, you’ll be met with a cold drink, friendly faces, and lasting memories.
Did you know that The Ritz Theatre is one of the last historic buildings remaining in Corpus Christi? It was built in 1929 and was the first talking movie theater in the area. The Ritz was one of the finest theaters in Texas and is now best known as The Ritz Music Hall, which housed a great range of artists from Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Ray Vaughn to Metallica and Def Leppard in the 70s. Recently, PATCH, the non-profit organization behind the restoration of The Ritz, has launched a dynamic new action plan. They have published a manifesto about Corpus Christi, a "State of The Ritz" document, and a call to the community for help.
