If you're looking for a classic Americana experience, a visit to a small town's Rialto Theater is a must-do. The name itself, meaning the theater district, is steeped in history and tradition. And if you're in the Texas Coastal Bend, you're in luck, Aransas Pass has its very own Rialto, right in the heart of downtown. It's one of the few remaining Rialtos in the country, and it's just a short drive from downtown Corpus Christi. The Rialto Theater in Aransas Pass is a hub for visual arts, music, and live theater performances. The original building has been renovated and reborn, offering a year-round event schedule packed with traditional and eclectic performances. You can catch a show in the 100-seat theater auditorium, grab a drink at the 40-seat beer/wine bar, or check out the art exhibits in the gallery and lobby.
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.

While you're relishing your delicious drink, relax and enjoy the local and regional live music offered every week.
